Wolfenstein (2009) was one of the most forgettable games of the last decade. Horrendous AI and archaic level design brought a once revolutionary franchise to the depths of mediocrity. Now that The New Order pre-orders are coming with Doom beta access, why should anyone hop on the hype train? After all, (the next) Doom has been in development hell for a while now, meaning it could be years before we see this beta anyway.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
Wolfenstien already looks awesome and I will buy it no matter what other things the offer. Howeves the Doom beta is a nice treat.
Will buy it nr 1 day too. Looks cool and brutal
i personally wish it had online or at least co-op. return of castle wolfenstein was the first online game i played. Loved it.
Well, it is Bethesda so I'm expecting bugs.
No, it will not. I actually forgot this game was in the works. Doom 4 could be anything at this point, and i'm not going to get excited about it.
