Just to keep it mainstream, the Germans speak English.

Damn some of you people are spoiled.... 

I think everything that looks like/or better than a ps2 launch title has good enough graphics to have fun with. And even games with ps1 graphics can be great. 

Sure Wolfenstein looks a little dated but i dont think it looks bad.... Everybody who thinks that should check his priorities. 

And seeing a few gameplay videos (not trailers) i am pretty sure that the framerate in the trailer is not the same as in the actual game.

They're...something, yes. There's a bare minimum standard, sure. Especially in a shooter genre, especially with a game that isn't offering anything groundbreaking mechanically.

it is possible thats the case for the street fighter 4 trailers the fps was cut in half when compared to actually playing the game (   sf4 trailer - 30fps, actual game - 60 fps)

Hmm I'm really torn on this game I love the Franchise AND NO looks are not everything but they help. Its all gonna come down to the PC version having good graphics options I hate ports to the computer with no options I just built my new computer and I wanna USE IT!!!

I've also noticed that every single trailer they've released for this game, the frame rate of the everything in-engine is terrible. This is not a jab at the actual game. I just think whoever is editing these trailers is doing a bad job and not doing this game any promotional favors. 
 
On a positive note: I watched some multiplayer beta videos people uploaded to youtube and the game looked and ran perfectly fine. Duno.

Aww, come on, don't let this dampen your spirits! It's true that the graphics aren't "cutting edge", but are we really such a fickle group that we ignore something if it isn't shiny enough? I got a chance to play through the first level way back in '06, and I had a blast. Definately going to try to pick this game up if I can find an NTSC version somewhere

I've spent more time playing Enemy Territory than I'd care to admit, but this really doesn't interest me at all. It looks like a bunch of other games that I've played years ago.

Hate to judge game based on a choppy, uneven video but... this definitely didn't help me get out to a store and pre-order, that's for sure.

Seems like it's got a cool Indiana Jones-y vibe going. 
Will need to hear about the multiplayer before I commit, but looks kinda neat.

@Bjorn: That's funny because  the engine is 5 years old.  It's running on the Doom 3 engine.  Still looks great tbh, unlike most games these days what it lacks in high poly models it makes up for in visual style.

I need to see Jeff's review before I make a decision. If you preorder it at Amazon you get a free code for Wolenstein 3-D on XBLA.

It does have a launch game vibe. I think they're just pushing it out the door. I could save a few dimes and go buy Prey or Timeshift or something  with this 60 dollars here. No wonder they're bribing people with infomercial style desperation offers.

The Engine is roughly 4 years old! Hahaha, its the Doom 3 Engine.... 
 
That trailer is terrible... The story/premise looks to be good, but the graphics and everything else about it make me want to pass... And to think i was interested in this one...

Seriously, the framerate was slowed down for dramatic slo-mo effect for the trailer... never seen trailers before? How about movie trailers? Never watched a movie before? Christ almighty.
