Wolfenstein: The New Order Arrives May 20, Comes With Doom Beta Access

Yes, that Doom game that id's been working on forever will apparently have a beta, and those who pre-order Wolfenstein will get into it. Also, I guess it's not called Doom 4 anymore?

The cutscenes do not look very good at all. The part where it seems like actual gameplay looks cool, but man do those cutscenes just look bad. The characters faces all have a weird sheen to them and whenever they talk they look like their chewing on some really tough beef jerky (with the exception of that General Deathshread). Hopefully, they keep their cutscenes to a minimum.

It's like they want to invoke/make Inglorious Bastards, but they show they really just don't have that talent.

Played this at PAX last year. It's similar to games like Bulletstorm in the fact that it just handles so awesomely, but without the "stupid" humor. It's self-serious in some parts, but mostly bombastic in others. It looks great, plays great, and feels like a proper ass usage of the Wolfenstein name.

They've changed the look of B.J quite a bit, as well as the voice I think. Hopefully it can live up to the epicness of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and the guns pack a punch like in Wolfenstein 2009

I'm so happy this finally has a release date. The game looks fucking fantastic. Doom 4 beta is great bonus, too.

Are they making Doom beta access a selling point? If they are; does it mean they have little faith in this Wolfenstein product?

I'm so happy they got a German dude to voice that guy at the end. I cringe so hard every time a high profile movie or TV show has a German with a very obvious accent in it.

I played Wolfenstein The New Order back at eurogamer expo, and people will be surprised by how awesome it plays. I even made a thread for it on GAF for how much you don't have to play it like CoD without ADS, health/armour packs, etc.

Germany never banned anti nazi content.

They sure do ban games that contain swastikas or Nazi references. The last Wolfenstein had all of the swastikas replaced. They even had to recall the game shortly after release because they missed one little swastika somewhere. It's really dumb.

I have to say I was not at all interested in the new Wolfenstein, but this trailer's really making me change my mind.

Also, since when was there a new Doom?

Did I just hear him say "We cut the head off the cold war machine"? How can there be so much wrong with a single sentence?

1)That war doesn't seem all that cold in the trailer.

2)That's an awful mixed metaphor.

Wow. That was the best video game trailer I have ever seen.

I am one of the biggest id software fans. Doom, and Quake shaped my life for over a decade. This looks absolutely amazing and hearing that there is a new Doom makes me happier than I've been able to be in a long time.

This is a blessing before the end.

Here we go again! Man, how much of their target audience was even born before Wolf 3d came out, let alone the original Wolfenstein?

Perhaps comparable to the number of people that played Wolf 3D and also played the original Wolfenstein :P Also, stop making me feel old, I'm only 25 :(

Looks like some good, clean fun. The idea that the new DOOM might have multiplayer is pretty weird.

Multiplayer in the original DOOM games was preeeetty rad, hopefully it can recapture that.

Anyway, this new Wolf continues to look really cool. I appreciate how much they seem to be ignoring the modern shooter conventions that bore the piss out of me, like hiding behind cover while trying to kill enemies who are hiding behind cover.

Don't understand how the Wolfenstein name still sells. Played a ton of the old one, but putting it on a new game is like labeling your shooter 'dated' in my head, whether that's true or not.

Hm... Less occult, more industrial, not a lot of steampunk.

Okay, videogame. I'm intrigued, show me more.

@goliath553: Single-player only for Wolfenstein, that's kind of why they're adding the Doom Beta, bit of consolation.

I've heard people say good things about Wolfenstein, but I think it's kind of awful that you need to staple on the promise of another much-more-anticipated game in order to sell the one you're currently pushing. I didn't like it when Crackdown done it, I didn't like it when Zone Of The Enders done it, and I still don't like it now with Wolfenstein doing it. It shows little or no confidence in the existing product, and it says to me "This probably isn't worth buying and the Doom promise is a cash-grab at best."

Wow, Wolfenstein: The New Order looks a lot nicer than it did when we saw it months ago. I never thought I'd say I miss WWII-era shooters, but I do.

It is a little worrying that it's a "Doom beta" and not Doom 4. To me that would mean the creative direction of, what was, Doom 4 didn't go well so they're playing it safe and just remaking the original.

Hm, I could totally go for some oldschool over the top FPS action right about now. Seems like the right time for a game like this.

If they re-reboot Doom, what do we call it? Newer-Doom? "Doom" the Third? DoomCubed?

This looks like a great FPS, the setting reminds me a bit of the Inglorious Basterds-part of Inglorious Basterds but set in a sci-fi version of the 60's. Still, this also really makes me miss Raven :(
