Gamer 2.0 writes: "The original Wolfenstein game debuted back in the 80's, and since then it has been the forefront for how first-person shooters have been played and designed to this day. With a long-standing pedigree as famous as Doom, Wolfenstein made its comeback debut in 2001 with the stellar Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but has since taken a seven year hiatus. Activision is hoping to revive the ghouls from Wolfenstein and return it to grandeur status.
The Wolfenstein series has long been a crafty collective of both Nazis and zombies, and generally what could be better to kill than both of those fiendish enemies? The World War II atmosphere has been played out for a long time, and is probably the most basic and general setting for any shooter, but Activision hopes to diversify Wolfenstein from the crowd by offering up a unique twist on the effects circulating the war (plus, Activision doesn't want Wolfenstein to compete with its own Call of Duty franchise). The story stars series vet B.J. Blazkowicz, an Army Ranger who has foiled the Nazi's plans since the first 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.
