Bethesda released a teaser image today on Twitter about a new game, but also tweeted Bethesda is not developing the game. Members on the NeoGaf forum found that two new Wolfenstein domains were registered at the same time Bethesda's new game "The Evil Within" domain was registered further speculating on a new Wolfenstein game.
Sometimes, you want a relatable villain who makes you question your own morality. Other times, you want Frau Engel.
It got old tbh. Machine needed a break from the IP. Indie is a good reprieve.
BLG writes, "There can be only one best Wolfenstein game. Since the franchise’s debut in 1981, the Wolfenstein series has graced our gaming platforms for over forty years. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true! In honor of that legacy, we’re going to list some of the best Wolfenstein games and the worst. That’s right: it’s the Wolfenstein games ranked."
Scheiße! Nein.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the best in the series. After that:
New Order
New Colossus
Old Blood
I really wish they'd remake Return to Castle Wolfenstein from the ground up. Easily the best of them all.
Speaking on Wassup Conversations, Matthies told the host that once MachineGames was founded, it didn't have enough money to hire a full development team and pitched around ideas for a while. Eventually, Id Software offered the team a chance to work with their IP, but first, they needed to prove themselves.
If it's iD it's Doom 4. Bethesda has already restructured iD to focus the entire team on their current title and leaked images show that said title was Doom 4. Further more it would be stupid to go down the road of Wolfenstein - it's been milked recently and didn't work out. iD needs to prove itself in this age and the release of Doom 3 BFG clearly shows what franchise is getting beefed up with money/marketing/effort.
Honestly - I'd love another good series of id games but they were rapidly out maneuvered by half life over a freaking decade ago. Rage shows that they're still struggling getting their heads around mechanics that were tripping them up years ago and perhaps most devastating of all they NEVER invested in their writing and creative departments. Games are a creative medium, more so than ever, and releasing AAA titles like Rage just shows how pathetic iD's writing department is. Everything about the game part of Rage was amazing, but as an interactive experience it felt like fallout-fan fiction that was written by someone who had only ever read the back of fallout's box.
