Yep and I burst out laughing at it, fucking awesome. Even in a wheelchair BJ fucks Nazis up.

Yup. Dev was just on Geoff's thing on YouTube.
First level after the prologue is entirely in a wheelchair. Controls the same as walking. Very intuitive apparently. That's what's playable at E3.
Game runs on a modified idtech 6.
No multiplayer. 100% single player campaign. Same as last time. Thank god.
Not necessary but totally worth it. It's more old school Wolfenstein. Creepy castle and monsters.

So I bought the New Order on last PSN sale and I'm gonna play it after E3. Do I have to buy and play The Old Blood too? Is it necessary?
I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary, but it's really good and you should buy it if it's discounted. More of the great gameplay, with a new locale and a hefty amount of content for the price.
I've seen people say it's a remake of Return to Castle Wolfenstein...I personally don't think so, but there's quite a few heavy references so it functions as sort of a pseudo-remake/revamp prequel. It's good, sort of a love letter to the Wolfenstein universe pre-New Order.
Considering that TNO & TOB ran 4K60 on mid-tier PC hardware (couple of settings turned down), and DOOM is even better in that regard, I'm pretty confident it'll have good performance if Jaguar doesn't get in the way.

God is reeal. DLC must be us playing as Anya while BJ is sleeping right?

Amen.
Not that multiplayer would suck or anything, but I'm glad the game can have a clear focus and dedicated resources.
You don't have to but I personally enjoyed it a lot. It's not as story heavy as the The New Order but it feels more like MachineGames tribute to the original Wolfenstein in many ways.
Nice to hear that there is no MP and idtech 6. Great news.
Great news.

Oh, and they elaborated on this scene a bit more.
In this timeline, see TNO if you don't understand, Wyatt started to microdose on drugs after what happened to him in TNO so he is permanently high as a fucking kite. This chameleon they've dubbed as "Little Buddy" shows up in most cutscenes involving Wyatt. They outsourced it to an Australian animation studio to create him.
So yes, that little guy is actually in the game lol.
It's Wolfenstein turned up to 11.

Shit! This looks fuckin incredible.
I need to finish that first one like right now.
I'm in there day 1.

The trailer seemed to convey both, so I think that's a good thing.
TNO was pretty aggressively depressing considering the inherent camp factor of future space nazis, but it lent to some really good characterizations.
I agree. I really liked how damaged BJ was from all the killing and the trauma, I just found it a little exhausting by the end.
While I'm totally fine with no MP at all in Wolfenstein 2 I have to say I think its one of those games that could have an awesome MP mode, even if it was just co-op through the campaign as BJ and Anya or something along those lines. The gameplay is so meaty and well done I think it'd be a blast.
Being a racist to troll is still racist.
Hmmmm.
Think we are able to pick timeline in the beginning due to that?
Since Fergus is in the trailer aswell.

Yeah I have no idea how it'll work. Would be pretty awesome if you could import a save. I expect, because of BJ's head trauma, his memory is a bit foggy and you set the table that way.
I would assume and bloody well hope so as I was never a fan of Wyatt, Fergus all the way.
Ok, I take it back, MEA can't be topped. But still, the game looks good otherwise, shows the devs have spent time with the game, but they let characters' faces look like shit, why?

Yep, at least that was my experience with the game. It was all fun and enjoyable for the first third (or half) when you fight the regular enemies (which are the ones shown in 90% of the cool gifs for both TNO and from this trailer).
But then they introduce bullet sponges and it just gets slow and boring. Those awesome dual shotguns are now a lot less fun to use since even at point blank they will need a billion bullets to kill the enemies, then you have little ways to regain health during combat and have low mobility. It goes from enemies kill you fast but so do you to enemies kill you fast but for you it takes forever.
I don't know. Opinions I guess. Personally I really disliked the gameplay while Doom has probably turned into one of my favorite single player shooters ever, it's like it took everything I hated about TNO and made it fun

What?!
I would be so happy if this ran at 4k60 on the X. That short gameplay montage in the trailer looked....beautiful.

Amazing lol.
I think he was referring to the robots and the shotgun guys.
Compared to rtcw and doom 4? Yes it was painfully slow--bj moves so slowly you can't even properly circle strafe in tno. Boring is a personal thing less than an objective quantifier, but it's certainly not as fun to play as doom 4 is and it's modern additions hurt the game way more than they did in doom 4. I'd disagree with the bullet sponge thing on anything but the hardest difficulty, because my biggest issue with the game stems more from the fact that in order to make it as flashy and gritty as possible they opted for increased lethality in the moment to moment game play over speed.
I gave tno a pass when it came out because I thought it was the closest anyone was going to get in making an old school shooter with an aaa budget, but after doom 4 that excuse really doesn't fly anymore. Unless the gameplay is noticeably better this time around I won't be buying it. Tob showed a step in the right direction though, so I have hope in the end that the game will be enough of an improvement over the first game to be worth buying.
