Wolfenstein: The New Order Asks if You Will Kill Nazis Silently, or Bring the Noise

I'll give you one hint as to which path I chose when I played this sequence: it wasn't the "tactile" route.

You can dual wield sniper rifles and automatic shotguns?

This appeals to me on a very fundamental level.

I don't know maybe it's just me but that looks like another generic first-person shooter. Be stealthy or go in guns-o-blazing style gameplay can only go so far I just hope that future Nazi Dystopia of Wolfenstein could be a cool enough setting to stomach the same old same old game we've been getting for this decade.

After playing it, I would disagree. Having no need for aim-down-sights, looking for health and armour pickups, dual wielding every weapon, not being CoD-levels of linearity, is pretty refreshing to me compared to the modern slate of shooters.

In other news, why haven't they made another Soldier of Fortune? Yeah, I like to think I'm a nice guy who wouldn't hurt a fly but I really want something more visceral and impactful. This looks like it could be one of those.

It looks alright, I'm still on the fence though. I like the fact that they showed some kills without using ADS, reminded me of the good ol' days of shooters.

This also reminded me of something.

The one area where games seem to be a step ahead of most movies (the Hollywood type anyway) is using actual real native speakers of foreign languages (like the old man speaking Russian in this trailer) rather then hacky actors who were taught a few phrases and sound terrible when trying to pass off as being from another country.

I don't know why people ziplining using their bare hands bothers me so much, but it does. It bothered me in Far Cry 3 and it bothers me now. Blood: fine. Hand-Ziplining: not okay. I feel better.

@themaniacsgnome: You're right that it's not a look at the whole game, but I'm still allowed to voice my opinion - what I just saw was mediocre to me. If that was them trying to entice me, they failed, because it did the opposite. They decided how what was just shown to me was presented and cut, didn't they?

Would you ever call out someone who said that this trailer looked amazing for the same reasons you called me out? I doubt it. You just want confirmation of the opinion you already have.

Agreed. The game looks incredibly mediocre. It also should have tried to impress on the graphics-front with the competition for this kind of game having pushed the bar quite a bit above this level.

Is it just me, or does BJ really looks like the image of "what if Troy Baker is a big good-looking dude instead of the small good-looking dude as he is" this time around? Well, blonde male stereotype I guess.
