Wolfenstein: The New Colossus - General

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;52353405] So the option carries over from TNO, they both get their face burnt by something, then [sp]Fergus gets a limb chopped off and Wyatt gets a drug addiction or something[/sp][/QUOTE] lsd isn't addictive

I will be surprised if either the black woman or Anya survives this game. I mean the communist guy seems like he'll die heroically for whatever and let his group get out, and the general is a given.

I've never played Wolfenstein Can I jump straight to Wolfenstein: the new order Then play Wolfenstein ll the new colossus Also if I can do that, can I play Wolfenstein the old blood because that's set before new order right?

Play New Order first. The Old Blood feels like a spin-off to the main story. I think playing Old Blood first will make you confused about what the actual setting is, since it's way more wacky in tone.

While it is a prequel you'll enjoy it more if you play TNO first.

Thank you all three of you. Can't wait to start them

Not to mention for some rigs TNO has stutter issues that are fixed in old blood and it'd be rough going from the fixed one to the one with issues

[QUOTE=kariko;52349457]Damn I need to play Wolfenstein games. :scream: This looks really neat.[/QUOTE] Tiny update, I bought The New Order on sale and it's fucking great. Now I'm trying to collect all the collectibles. And I can't fucking wait for the new one now :excited:

I didn't like the look of the [sp]stealth section with the uber soldiers on rails[/sp] so I never bought it.

It only lasts about 20 minutes thankfully.

I wasn't really a fan of all the zombie stuff they teased, but that shouldn't scare you away. There's a bunch of great level design filled with variety which feels very different to the previous game. Missing out on what the game has to offer because of the stealth sections would be huge shame, it's still possible to enjoy them since it's there to bring some context to the story and it feels that more gratifying when you get a gun. Fully recommend it if you're bored and need something stellar to keep you occupied. I haven't played it since it was released, but it was gorgeous back then and i bet it still is. The Wolfenstein sale is gone for me, so you might want to wait for the summer sale or find a key somewhere cheap unless you've got the dough lying around.

why would anyone skip Return to Castle Wolfenstein that one is the best.

It's weird how this nazi killing game is the most heartwarming game I've played in a while

[QUOTE=LeonS;52379635]why would anyone skip Return to Castle Wolfenstein that one is the best.[/QUOTE] seriously, that multplayer consumed at least two years of my life, I was in a clan and everything. I played ET for a little bit but it just didn't feel the same for me. So much fun playing the village level and being a dick with the flamethrower. Sten and FG42 were my favorite guns by far.

Vinny from Vinesauce did a playthough a while back, very entertaining watch if you get a chance.

[QUOTE=Loadingue;52346140]I see the cutscenes are still pre-rendered at 30 FPS, that's a shame.[/QUOTE] Imagine the game size if the cutscenes were 60fps

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;52380333]The BBQ scene better be the way TNC actually ends.[/QUOTE] It's the second game, I doubt the publishers will let BJ have a happily ever after. not without making a trilogy. (not counting the prequel)

[QUOTE=juGGa;52381778]Imagine the game size if the cutscenes were 60fps[/QUOTE] How about in-engine cutscenes?

[QUOTE=SFArial;52385372]How about in-engine cutscenes?[/QUOTE] That of course would be the best solution, but I'm guessing it's just too much work for the dev team to make the long cutscenes play seamlessly in real time.
