This Weeks AAA Release Wolfenstein The New Order Pays Tribute To The Past and Tops the All Formats Chart.
But to really fully appreciate the current game Xbox Players take a look back at the NOT SO HUMBLE beginnings of a genre leading IP
The series of course was originally a massive hit on ....... wait for it ......... Commodore 64, Apple, MS DOS, and Atari 400/800.
Castle Wolfenstein The game was originally a stealth based action shooter, that required players to think more about the way in which they had to escape from Castle Wolfenstein, and the Nazi opposition that it contained.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
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.
The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.
I played original 2D Wolfenstein games on the Atari 800 and they were brilliant fun with lots of sneaking around. And when you finally completed a game it featured a mission map generator so plenty of replay ability.
