New site live for joint Nazi-killing venture from your friends at id, Raven, and Activision.
Activision has posted the new site for Raven Software's upcoming Wolfenstein sequel, which, apparently, is just going to be called Wolfenstein. You can head over there for a spot of media and news on the game, though I have shamelessly lifted all of the screenshots for your perusal here.

We'll be getting a firsthand look at Wolfenstein in the very near future, so stay tuned for some hard info. In the meantime, I would invite other developers of World War II-themed shooters to ruminate on a truth Raven clearly understands. That is, the best way to keep your WWII game fresh? Nazis in robot suits.
The graphics arent that good, but we all know WOLFENSTEIN is WOLFENSTEIN, even though the new one is copying FEAR (you can slow down time), CALL OF DUTY(ironsights), and GEARS OF WAR(a cover system). I dont really care where do they get their gameplay cues from, as long as its awesome and you can shoot some mutated zombies with that awesome music, Im down. And we all know Raven Soft. can make good multiplayer games.
The slowing down time mechanic made sense in Max Payne 1. There built the scenes around it to where you really did need to use it to do well. Every other game that has used it including FEAR it has been nothing than a crutch for piss poor players. Its old now. Developers please stop doing it.
I agree about the ID thing. What is Wolfenstien without ID? An orphan? A red headed step child?
