Great, that means a stupid watered down bland sequel is coming.
Do you think MachineGames is known for watered down bland sequels?
I know they kind of went all in on the Wolfenstein universe, but I haven’t heard of most of those as being watered down and bland. Most of them were pretty well liked, I thought. I certainly like several of them. Maybe I’m out of the loop and they’re considered bland and watered down now.
I mean, the other thing they released this year was a bunch of levels for Doom II (Legacy of Rust) that was also pretty well received. You don’t have tons of modern developers dumping their time into Doom II levels. They had also previously put out levels for Quake and Quake 2.
Wolfenstein 2 TNC is widely regarded as inferior to Wolfenstein TOS. Youngblood just made sure to bury that franchise for good.
Youngblood is critically panned.
I’m not worried about MachineGames (although I’ve never played a game by them). I’m worried about Disney stepping in and attempt to micromanage everything with their greedy corporate bullshit.
Every video I’ve seen of it doesn’t look great
Depends on the person. I’m flabbergasted by looking at metacritic etc where it’s getting ~85.
I find it boring, clunky, and unoptimized. Decent story though.
I honestly like the slow movement and feeling like Indy really isn’t a superhero. It kind of kicks ass.
I’m actually really impressed at how they’ve leveraged what they were doing with Wolfenstein to do something so wildly different in tone and execution (I mean, other than killing Nazis, that parts the same). We need more creativity and breaking gaming boundaries like this, exploring entirely new genres of gaming essentially.
