I haven't played TNO but this has grabbed me by the balls and has my attention! Pretty sure I'll be getting this one day 1. Absolutely loved the trailer!

YES! Best game of last year. Can't wait to play more, especially actually being able to visit Wolfenstein itself. Hope it has the same kind of replayability of the first game.

I hope they finally have a horde mode, but I'm betting they won't. Co-op Nazi killing FPS would be the best thing ever, just sayin'.

Since The Old Blood is supposed to be a prequel, im going to assume that I would be better off playing The New Order after The Old Blood or will it even make any difference?
 
Just play New Order ASAP. Trust me on this one.

Hopefully it'll be fun, and of an acceptable length. The New Order went on and on and on, and wasn't all that great.

Still, I find myself interested in this.

I don't understand how people weren't having fun every second of that game.
I definitely enjoyed it overall but the repetitive encounters, reused areas, and bullet sponge enemies got to me in some stretches. If it was shorter and tighter it would have been better off for it.
 
I loved RTCW but was ambivalent on The New Order. I might try this out, even though it's obviously going to be more of the latter than the former.
 
Doesn`t this happen a lot in Europe?

Actually the contrary happens a lot, with the US getting boxed releases and europe getting digital only release, especially smaller stuff or japanese ports of niche games. I think mostly when the games aren't translated in anything but english because they then can't sell physical copies in France and Germany or whatever. I can't really remember of another game that had a physical version sold in europe but none in the US, thoguh that might be more common than I know.

Not that I care either way personally, digital only is fine with me.
 
Is there any chance the European one will be censored? I'd like to import the boxed version but I don't want a gimped version

It does seem to happen more. You'd think logistically it'd be difficult comoared to the US. Also, although it seems a bit odd to have PC retail but not xbox one, PC retail is still popular in Europe
 
PS4's been getting quite a few physical releases for smaller stuff in Europe lately. Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and Pinball Arcade: Season 2 are due out next week at retail. Stick it to the Man! and Zombie Army also came out recently. Then there's like Flockers, inFamous First Light, Lara Croft: Temple of Osiris, etc. which were all digital-only in America.

For people with AMD cards, did they ever fix the many issues W:TNO had with AMD cards? I bought a 290 a while ago after playing TNO on Nvidia hardware and I'd hate to miss on this due to the shitty engine :/

I loved the game myself. However it isn't perfect. The underwater level sucked ass for instance.

Ran fine on my 290 a few months back. So I'm assuming it was patched up.

Infamous first light was retail in eu only.some ps vita games are digital only in eu but its niche games. anime games tends to be digital only in us (one piece pirate warriors, gundam reborn...)

i will buy it day one too, i got the game for 15€ and had lot of fun. so i'm happy to come back to kill some nazis.

It runs well enough on my 280X, the framerate does dip quite a bit in some areas where I feel it makes no sense. The worst framerates are in the fucking hub-base. Actual levels all ran smooth for the most part so you should be good to go with the 290. The only issues are framerate related at least, no graphical glitches or crashes or anything of the sort.
