While I can't even pretend to be knowledgeable about Spider-Man comics, I have still been intrigued by the concept of the upcoming Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. Taking four versions of Spidey from four different comic book dimensions and cramming them into a single game seems like it'd make for an interesting experience.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.
Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.
AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.
The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
Damn, was hoping for zombie or cosmic. This will do, makes sense what with all the growling and roaring of the teaser trailer.
Somebody's taken the current confirmed boxart and photoshoped big white eyes onto it.
Beside's the symbiote suit doesn't belong in it's own universe.
besides, the Symbiote Suit is not a DIMENSION.
actually, it'd be pretty cool if the fourth dimension was the Spider-Man: Reign dimension. where Peter Parker is an old, disheveled, and retired Spider-Man, Mary Jane is dead, and most of his villains are also old, dead, or retired. then a Venom symbiote outbreak happens, and old Peter has to don the costume for one last time. it's very Dark Knight Returns.
i think the setting could be interesting.
anyway, this image is really fake though.
we Shattered Dimension is successful, then we cans ee SD 2 with Scarlet Spiderman and other unused ones.
I love Scartlet Spider suit so much! just badass!
