I've been apprehensive about this title, but still have high hopes, as do some friends of mine. Please deliver!

MasterCornholio3632d ago

I hope its good because its been a while since I blew nazis to pieces.

Alexious3632d ago

That's true as well. Killing Nazis always feels nice.

alexkoepp3632d ago

"saying that it’s a great game, and he would recommend it to “tide over” until Watch Dogs"

Nice, a game that will entertain you for one whole week! Lol, sounds like a renter.

Boy I loved Return to Castle Wolfenstein, it was the game to own for Xbox Live. Feel sorry for the masses that picked up Live when Halo 2 dropped - they missed out on a great experience

hellzsupernova3632d ago

Define good. it wont be a 10/10 but it will be an awesome ride with guns that tear Nazis to pieces. and that to me sounds like a lot of fun something a lot of video games do not have

LordMaim3632d ago

@Alexious: Of all the things to get disagrees on. Sometimes I hate the internet.

ravinash3631d ago

"Killing Nazis always feels nice."

Hay! now think about the Nazi's wife and kids!

SITH3631d ago

The only good nazi, is a dead nazi.

@MasterCornholio

Im a nazi, you can blow me away =P

thereapersson3631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

I'm just stoked over this game because it's a single player only game that has a campaign longer than 10 hours. This is going to be a great throwback to the old days of first person shooters that feature tons of secret areas and hordes of enemies to mow down. Can't wait to play this title.

It seems really good, as far as single player FPS go!

Bigpappy3632d ago

I will have to say that what I have seen of it so far looks very well done.

Alexious3631d ago

I can't wait to get my hands on it, either.

Perhaps graphics won't be top notch when compared to Crysis 3 or Killzone Shadow Fall, but at least the single player is a lot longer.

I've had the game since Friday and I am about to beat it. Gameplay and shooting mechanics are very fluid, and the framerate is excellent. Length of campaign is 20-25 hours, the story is great, and the different weapons are really fun.There's replay value if you are looking for collectibles, trying a stealthy approach vs an agressive one, or playing it again on a harder difficulty.
P.S the in game perk system is an idea that was implemented well: basically there are in game challenges that reward you with a perk for the rest of the game, I.e get "x" amount of kills with a certain weapon rewards you with faster reloading

Codey473631d ago

I'm a few chapters in...I'm enjoying it mucho. Nice to see id tech 5 has matured since RaGe...the constant texture streaming has gone (without the need for SSD or Hybrid SSD to eradicate the streaming issues)

Game sits at 53gb on PS4 after patch.

thereapersson3631d ago

Helpful bubbles for both of you guys. Thanks!

FalloutWanderer20773631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

Sounds great! thank you for the lil review. I planned on grabbing it regardless because I'm a fan of the series and videos/previews were promising.

That perk system kinda reminds me of the challenges in Fallout: New Vegas.I loved those extra incentives in that game.Pretty sure I will enjoy the ones in this as well.

Wolfenstein 2009 had a pretty good SP, Can't wait to see what this new game will offer.

karamsoul3632d ago

It's single-player only, but these first impressions are really making me anticipate the game :)

MasterCornholio3632d ago

With a very long single player campaign which is why I've heard.

Alexious3632d ago

Yes, more than 20 hours. Only Bioshock, among first person shooters, can compare in terms of length.

porkChop3632d ago

@Alexious

And Far Cry 2. Might not have been the best game but it was over 50 hours which was insane for an FPS. Pretty sure it's the longest FPS campaign ever.

elhebbo163632d ago

@alex what? I can name a couple of FPS that arent your typical military shooter that are as long as that.

BitbyDeath3632d ago

Resistance 1 also went on forever.
Had around 40 levels which each went on between 30mins to an hour each.

Festano3632d ago (Edited 3632d ago )

A 20-hour campaign does not look bad, I have to keep an eye on this game.

DefenderOfDoom23632d ago

If go to YOUTUBE "POLARIS" has a gameplay video with commentary that is 45 minutes long ! Only watched 5 minutes and the gameplay shooting mechanics looks fanastic !!!! ID TECH 5 engine running game! Not gonna watch any more of the video because i already bought the game and i want to be suprised !! Only 36 hours to go, before i start shooting some enemies !!! Campaign said to be over 22 hours long!!!

Alexious3632d ago

Yeah, id Tech 5, although to be honest their engines aren't cutting edge anymore. They're far behind Unreal Engine 4 and CryEngine now.

I fear for Doom 4...

DefenderOfDoom23632d ago

to Alexesis , I agree, the CRYTEK engine is better than the ID TECH 5 engine for graphics . I played and finished both RAGE and CRYSIS 3 campaigns and i thought the FPS shooting mechanics was a lot smoother for RAGE! And i think WOLFENSTEIN NEW ORDER is going for fun smooth gameplay, rather than pretty awesome graphics !! As far as the UNREAL 4 engine goes i never played a game with that engine, but hearing great things from developers working with that engine! CRYSIS 3 did have fanastic graphics and was very fun to play!

FalloutWanderer20773631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

To be fair ID Tech 5 came out a couple years ago. Where Unreal 4 and Crytek 3 are more recent iterations of their engines.

I would of sworn I heard that John Carmack before he left helped write the next version of the engine,ID Tech 6. It was either that or something about reworking/improving ID Tech 5.

For all we know they are presently working on the next version of the engine.If that is the case,Doom 4 or whatever it will be called, could very well be running on a brand new version.

Even a heavily modified and improved version will still look awesome.

iDadio3632d ago

I'm from the UK and apparently this got dispatched Friday so I'm hoping this drops through my letterbox tomorrow :)

sGIBMBR3631d ago

I'm from the UK too, I got this game on Saturday, as I often do with games releasing on Tuesdays. Not sure why, but I ain't complaining :P

Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood

Harryvok629d ago

I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
