Tbh I'm pretty skeptical about this game. We've only seen some screen shots but another gritty dark shooter is not something I'm looking forward to.
Ahh well hope they can convince me other wise.

Commented on 2013-05-08 21:04:13Probably because of my playing Starfox which was altogether more impressive than Wolfensteins's naff graphics and crap gameplay

Spoilers: There are robots and prototype cyborgs in every Wolfenstein game and yes they are hella fun to kill.
Commented on 2013-05-13 07:24:38I don't think any real Wolfenstein fan counts 2009 Raven dev Wolfenstein as a legitimate release in the series...
Commented on 2013-05-14 16:31:12My post wasn't "haterade" either. It was hardly even anything
Commented on 2013-05-14 21:39:32 In reply to crookedmindAnd there's a bit of technology floating about Wolfenstein. Starting with Wolf3D. It's always had a bit of occult and tech weirdness. Hardly a straight up WWII motif. That's why it's cool.
