Trial Run: Conor Let’s Play’s Wolfenstein: The New Order

Sorry for another break in the Trial Runs from myself, haven’t been well but here i am having a look at Wolfenstein: The New Order. Wolfenstein: The New Order is an action adventure, first person shooter with puzzles. To progress through the linear story, players take on enemies throughout levels. The game utilizes a health system in which the player’s health is divided into separate sections that regenerate; if an entire section is lost, the player must use a health pack to replenish the missing health. The game was released on 20th of May 2014 for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.

Players use melee attacks, firearms and explosives to fight enemies, and may run, jump and occasionally swim to navigate through the locations. Melee attacks can be used to silently take down enemies without being detected. Alternatively, players can ambush enemies, which will result in an intense firefight between the two parties. In combat, a cover system can be used as assistance against enemies. Players have the ability to lean round, over and under cover, which can be used as a tactical advantage during shootouts and stealth levels. Players have access to a weapon inventory, which can hold an unlimited amount of weapons. With some of these weapons, players have the ability to dual wield, giving them an advantage over enemies by dealing twice as much damage. The player can also find upgrades for some weapons; for example, a rocket launcher can be attached to the side of an assault rifle, and a laser cannon can be transformed into a cutting tool. The game gives players a wide variety of weapon options—they can be found on the ground, retrieved from dead enemies, or removed from their stationary position and carried around.

When developer MachineGames was founded, the employees all began brainstorming ideas, and pitching them to publishers. In June 2009, MachineGames owner Zenimax Media acquired id Software and all of its property, including Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein. Bethesda Works, who had declined a pitch from MachineGames, suggested that they develop a game that ZeniMax had acquired from id Software. MachineGames inquired about developing a new game in the Wolfenstein series; the studio visited id Software, who approved of MachineGames’ request for a new Wolfenstein game. By November 2010, paperwork was signed, allowing MachineGames to develop Wolfenstein: The New Order.

All pre-orders of Wolfenstein: The New Order contained access to the upcoming Doom beta, in development by id Software.
