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

@ryanmgraef: better than rad !!!!!

That's a little different than banning something. I think the rule is that it has to be used in a historical non-fiction work. They don't want to make light of the incredibly dark part of their history. Which, I guess I understand, but would agree is a little silly. I mean, nobody is going to play The Saboteur and mistake the enemies for anything but Nazis.

Also, this looks way better than I ever thought it would.

Everything about that trailer makes it a requirement for me to play Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Ironic song to play alongside it? Check.

Crazy Nazi mechs? Check.

Alternate history? Check.

BJ Blazkowicz carrying a chainsaw and threatening...in a very Brad-Pitt-from-Inglorious-Basterds accent...to cut a man's head off with an "appliance" that happens to be a RIDICULOUSLY LARGE FUCKING CHAINSAW?! Check.

Yeah. This is a day-one purchase for me...so long as the game is more stable in terms of frame rate than the last turd was.

I hope this game is so good.

This looks interesting , would love to play and really good Wolfenstein game again...

wait what? DOOM beta....hmmm

It's like... I was just talking about the look and vibe of the trailer.

I played it at PAX, it felt very similar to CoD in its mechanics. While that's not too exciting, I thought the rest (weapons, AI, ambiance) was great. I played the heck out of "Return to Castle Wolfenstein", and didn't care for the latest... from what I played of this one, it'll be good.

This trailer peaked my interest more than anything I've seen from Titan Fall and Destiny.

This looks exactly like my kind of FPS. Being a Wolfenstein fan doesn't hurt either. Cautious hype!

These dudes know how to make a trailer!

@jaks: I am German and don't see this as connected to any "real" history. It's just a trope like "the evil space empire" or "the Asian kindergardener that actually knows kung fu" etc. I am convinced that nobody expects Germany to look like this when they book a trip to the Oktoberfest...Nazis are just a cipher for evil and deservedly so.

Oh Germany. Will you ever live WW2 down? I hope not.

Well, I've enjoyed every Wolfenstein game I've played so far, this one looks to be equally or possibly more pleasing than the rest. The trailer gives me a sorta Tarantino vibe. It looks like just the right amount of goofyness to get me interested. Plus DOOM beta? Aight I'm in.

So with the fence cutting tech I saw in some E3 interview am worried for cutting off heads min game, if its slow I will have to shut my eyes . hhahahaha

This is right up my alley, looks like the kind of game that shaped my tastes of videogames in my childhood

Considering MachineGames is made up of a bunch of ex-Starbreeze people, I'm down.

Will only purchase if the last boss is Mecha Hitler.

I am buying everything that this game is selling. Love the style on display here, although I am admittedly an absolute sucker for any kind of live action in my video game trailers.

looks kinda fun

It feels really scummy, they are basically double dipping on the hardcore Doom fans. The commercialisation of 'beta's quickly soured, but I don't see an end to it, especially with the success of Early Access - that is for the people selling unfinished games.

Lack of Testament's "The New Order" is disappointing.

No idea how it's going to play, but that story has me interested.

Might have to get this game. I dont care about doom though.

The Saboteur... go play it!

@robertorri said:

This is really Inglourious Basterds the game.

This looks so stupid and I want it now.

The BJ guy again? Seriously.

wait.. wasn't he gonna ask a question? I don't think he'll find the answer satisfactory if he saws his head off before asking.. but who am I to question interrogation methods.

I probably won't play it, but at least it looks like it has a sense of humour, and thats always nice.

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!

*2

Have not killed nazis in a while, lets do this!

It's like ... you already played this game and already know all about it.

Boy, love the pedigree behind this game and everything they've said about it but none of the trailers so far make me particularly interested in this game.

DOOM 4 IS STILL A THING? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH! :DDD

Seriously, I was on the fence about whether buying this was a good idea or not, but that Doom 4 beta alone makes me seriously tempted to pre-order this game.

Well that looks... shockingly good

I kinda wanna play it? Yes. Yes I do.

At least he's not trying to cut his head off with other types of appliances like a dishwasher or Dryer.

I know it's dumb to judge games before they're out, and especially before you've played them, but based on the trailer, I think this is going to fly under the radar and quietly be the best shooter of 2014. While Titanfall is run-and-gun robot madness and Destiny is a flowery RPG/shooter hybrid, Wolfenstein just looks like good old-fashioned, high-octane action.

Game looks fun.

Don't give a shit about Doom whatever beta.

RIP id software.

These developers clearly wanted to make a Tarantino game. Really badly.

Also doesn't necessarily give me the idea that Bethesda is too confident in the selling power of this game if they feel the need to entice buyers with a vague offer of a beta for their new Doom game that nobody has any clue about.

I think MachineGames had some neat groundwork here. I'm always a sucker for alternate takes on history and there's not many games that dare to tackle this subject matter, even fewer that end up being actually good (or make it out the door before getting cancelled). I fear the gameplay will just be too dull and the dumb grindhouse style they're going for will ruin it all.

Comes with a beta to DOOM One

Looks like fun, and I'm a total sucker for alt-history stuff.

Looks pretty silly.

Yeah..ok..that looks pretty great.
