I think it looks nice for something using ID Tech 4 (Doom 3 Engine). The outdoors are very well done. Also, the game is now called just "Wolfenstein" without the Castle or the Return. Even with that in mind though, unless the MP is mindblowing, I don't see myself paying full price for this.

Is it only me, or are the graphics really not up to scratch on this game?

**ownage** · 03-23-2009, 06:13 AM

Its good enough. Gameplay is all what matters, just like Wolfenstein ET.

Only for consoles. That might be the reason the graphic sucks.

Sorry, ain't interested if it will only be released for consoles.

€dith: GT says it will be released for PC as well. But I don't see a PC-logo at the end of the video.

Looks a good game! I think the graphics shown are from consoles! Maybe the pc version will have better graphics! DX10 maybe!

You can see the PC logo on the official website, so I'm sure it will be for PC as well..

**perry_78** · 03-23-2009, 06:28 AM

hmm even for consoles it looks a bit shabby - the wheels on the trolleys i mean goddam, that looks like something from gta vice city.

**perkam** · 03-23-2009, 06:34 AM

Spoiler Warning Added to gameplay trailer.

Also, scroll down on main website to see PC logo.

You can see the PC logo in the webpage.
Graphics don't look so good, though. I guess the Id Tech4 is a bit outdated, compared to Dunia, CryEngine and the latest iterations of Source. Those are 2005 graphics, not 2009..

However, the previous RTCW wasn't the best of its class in graphics when it came out, anyways.

It's not that old. It's more of a 2006 game than a 2005 game, but it became quickly outdated yes.

I hope we see Wolfenstein 2 with Id Tech 5 but if they took 4 years on an id tech 4 game, I wouldn't wait up for it

Also, Gameplay link was SD, is now HD.

whats the first game to use ID 5?

I thought this might but apparently not

I want some games that actually rival crysis in detail but with more performance

*sigh*

Id isn't the type of company that makes games where you go online to gather wood from palm trees for a bonfire. Id Tech 5 is optimized to allow for the best graphics at the best performance, hence the megatextures etc.

The first game to use id tech 5 will be RAGE. Look it up. The next game to use it will be

*Drumroll*

Doom 4

I know, i just want good graphics with my good gameplay

its an added bonus

sort of like a piece of cake after a 3 course meal

**yaddam205** · 03-23-2009, 07:22 AM

This game looks great even for a single player FPS. Bring on the multiplayer already!

**Xello** · 03-23-2009, 07:26 AM

Doom 4? Rage? Wolfenstein?

Holy

.

If this is even remotely like RTCW it will be an absolute winner, that game ranks in my top 10 games ever probably, i remember getting it the day i got my shiny new Radeon X800

The same week the first PCI express boards launched i think!

**Particle** · 03-23-2009, 08:53 AM

It won't be DX10 unless the engine has drastically been modified. The Doom 3 engine utilizes OpenGL--not DirectX.

**Truckchase!** · 03-23-2009, 09:19 AM

Great! More re-makes! ID is very creative!

hopefully duke nukem forever comes out this year
or when? 2010? 2011? 10 years in development LOL

**Scubar** · 03-23-2009, 11:23 AM

This games going to be made of Fail. Its just another attempt at milking the Wolfenstein name abit more, Its graphics a frankly poor and the gameplay is going to be awful as its going to be another console port.

**Solus Corvus** · 03-23-2009, 11:31 AM

I'm still waiting to see some really useful information about the multiplayer in this game. If it is anything like RTCW/ET then it should rock.

**Kallenator** · 03-23-2009, 11:46 AM

This looks like utter rubbish to me, not that the idea is bad, it worked with the last game and I enjoyed that, but this is just the same and it looks even more stupid.

I remember reading something on the line of Microsoft using OpenGL 2 to emulate a demo for DX10 long before its launch.
So technically, Doom 3 engine could get DX10-like effects if modded enough...
Don't quote me on that, after all the engine is quite old.

Oh certainly, you don't have to use DirectX at all to get a result that looks like it's in the same class. OpenGL and DirectX are entirely different animals. I wasn't trying to make a visual effect potential comparison based on the API. I was just saying that it won't be DX10 unless for some reason they completely replaced the render pipeline. That's not very likely.

**Blacky** · 03-23-2009, 12:09 PM

Doom 4 comes this year isn't?

**orangekiwii** · 03-23-2009, 01:03 PM
