New ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ Video Takes Us On A Train To Berlin

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: While it didn’t make its original 2013 release date, Machinegames Wolfenstein: The New Order is finally set to launch on May 20th.

Publisher Bethesda Softworks has just debuted a new gameplay trailer for the title, which takes us on a train from Poland to Berlin, with (of course) Nazi’s and robots aplenty.

The game has been developed using id Software’s Tech5 engine, which is why this title is looking awfully pretty. You can take a look at the video below, and be sure to let us know what you think. Again, Wolfenstein: The New Order hits store shelves on May 20th, and will be available for Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and PC.

‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ Delayed To 2014

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Wolfenstein: The New Order was definitely one of my most anticipated titles for this holiday season, but it looks like we’ll have to anticipate it for just a little while longer.

Bethesda confirmed today at QuakeCon that The New Order has moved from later this year to sometime in 2014. In an interview with Polygon, Bethesda’s Peter Hines gave reason for the delay:

Working on next-gen and current gen definitely has an impact, you’re developing for two different things. The fact that the next-gen stuff is still moving is also definitely a factor. But the most important thing was definitely just looking where it was at, what they needed to polish. Because it’s just not trying to be a shooter, because it’s trying to be a shooter that also has driving elements, story elements, narrative, stealth sections – each one of those has to be excellent. It’s not just like we’re making a shooter, where if the shooting is good, then all 16 hours of the game will be good because it’s all we’re doing.

We didn’t just want to do a one-note Wolfenstein game. We wanted to make something that brought in all these elements, and as it turns out, the polish time you spend on the shooting stuff has no impact on what it feels like in the stealth part.

So there you have it. The game’s going to be awesome, but it won’t be awesome until next year. As the great Shigeru Miyamoto once said: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”

Watch The First Trailer For ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’

by Derek Kraneveldt

What a freaking great trailer.

Bethesda today unveiled the announcement trailer for the next instalment in the Wolfenstein franchise, Wolfenstein: The New Order. The game is set to release this holiday season, and will hit PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and next-gen consoles.

I was a huge fan of 2009’s Wolfenstein, and with the new title coming from MachineGames, The New Order is definitely something I’ll be keeping my eye on.

Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think!

‘Castle Wolfenstein’ Headed To The Silver Screen!

by Derek Kraneveldt

This could be awesome.

The game has been out forever in a million different iterations, but we’ve never seen Wolfenstein like this. Paranorma Media has just announced that Roger Avery will be bringing the iconic Wolfenstein series to the big screen!

Very little information is available on the project at this point (including which Wolfenstein title the film will be based on), but the fact that a film has been announced at all is very exciting. This is something I’ve been hoping for since the first time I played Wolfenstein 3D as a young, impressionable, immature child.

Producer Samuel Hadida stated that “With Roger at the helm, we expect everyone will join us for a wild and fun cinematic ride that will grab contemporary film audiences with the same irreverent, hip, over-the-top approach that Roger brought to Pulp Fiction and the other films he has either written or directed,”

According to THR, the 65-year old Avary has been playing Wolfenstein since its first release, so I’m sure the Pulp Fiction writer will want to do this one justice.

Here’s your storyboard right here!

Are you excited for this one? Did you play the 2009 reboot of the franchise?
