Wolfenstein

I just saw a commercial the other day that a new one just came out. How did I not know about this? Anyone been following it? Anyone played it?

I thought the last one that was on pc and original xbox was awesome (as in, worth playing if you missed it) This one appears to take place in a futuristic setting which concerns me.

I guess I need to track down some reviews today

Oh, well berkeley me. Its not available on 360. Nevermind. Lol

Awww I was excited

No bratwurst for you!

err. i lied. it is out on 360 and ps3. requires installation to your HD to play (360 version comes on 4 dvd discs and requires 10gigs of HD space!)

Although according to wikipedia there was a Wolfenstein title in 2009 on 360 that i completely missed and I guess I will have to track that down and play it first. Might have to swing by gamestop today while running errands.

Yes!!!!! Loved it. Didn't know that they made any sequels. Don't remember there being color either?!?

Commodore 64 right?

The one I remember was a fps with similar gameplay to doom just with Nazis instead of demons (though arguably the same thing). I think it was called wolfenstein 3d.

That's the one I was thinking of

That's likely an Apple ][. The ability to stick up the SS guys and steal their vests was pretty epic at that time. Between that and Choplifter, many hours of entertainment.

I think wolfenstein came out before doom. Also I think they were both made by id software hence the similarity.

Wolf3D was like the father of the first-person shooter. Then came the Doom Engine, which set the standard until what... Half-Life?

I've played the original Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein II (both on the Apple IIc), Wolfenstein 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, and I'm looking forward to this one. I am ~that~ old. Or obsessive. Or both.

My god, am I that much a geek? Wow.....

Doom held the standard until Quake, man! Quake was 3d (you could look up and down!) and really rocked. Nine Inch Nails did the sound design, what a world.

A friend of mine opened a business based around it. I sold him the computers and equipment and he built a "virtual reality gaming" shop. It was more or less paying the bills 'till he ended up relocating to get an engineering job in Chicago.

In reply to SkinnyG:

Not really a geek, about normal for your age group.

At some point in the mid 90's, Medal of Honor revolutionized the FPS into what we have today.
