Also dual wield capability with all weapons and they kinda hinted at regen health, both of which I'm not so keen on in a Wolfensetin game. I'm also surprised they never talked about a stealth component. Being as they developed Riddick, I hope they incorporate that.

For the most part I'm very interested, and it sounds like the story, exploration and puzzle elements could have potential.

Those screenshots alone have me interested.

I'm pretty sure this game will have multiple paces, definately some stealth but definitely some run and gun.

I'm really excited!!!

2 more screens and it really looks like characters with proper hair, although here its blurred because of DOF

 

[Frag_Maniac]

I'm not getting my hopes up about faces looking that good in game. Those have to be either pre-production shots before compression, or reserved for cutscenes only.

New ingame footage trailer

and few screens

Not bad looking, but damn that 720p! Arrrgh

 

[Easy Rhino]

looks like a genetic shooter with some updated textures...

Generic shooter would only describe gameplay, which I can't think of any other shooter thats drastically cahnged the formula all that much really within the last 10 years (bf1942 is the last big jump to me gameplay wise). Generic shooter wouldn't describe the story, I doubt anyone is looking for this to be the ground breaking revitalization of shooters with new mechanics, I felt this series was always pretty stale in that respect, but it's the locations and the stories that make it good.

Yea, I agree that bf1942 gave us the biggest game changer. I have to also, believe that crytek did as well with graphics, and giving us a suit. I don't know what else they/game makers can give us with our current interaction between the game and the user. I think our next biggest jump will be when things like the oculus rift is here.

Drool.... I love wolfenstein

I think our next biggest jump will be when things like the oculus rift is here.

As far as storytelling goes, that probably will be it if they can make it affordable. But competitive play I'll pass, which creates another issue for me, games with good single player and multiplayer will feel drastically different because SP you would want to use it and MP probably not.

Seriously looking forward to this game!

Does anyone know if there is a multiplayer component with the game. The official site was lacking info.

 

[Devon68]

I have to stop watching this thread. I'm starting to like what I see.

If I remember correctly it will be SP only. When they announced the game they said they wanted to invest everything in SP to make it great and not try to spread themselves to thin by tacking on MP.
