The latest trailer for Wolfenstein: The New Order is just in and, while it doesn’t contain a whole lot of gameplay, it does show what kind of tone Bethesda and Machine Games are going for with this title.
Displaying Nazi Germany as an overpowered force with futuristic weapons has always been part of the Wolfenstein humor, but this new trailer takes it to an extreme. We also get to see how Germany actually wins the war and and corrupt history over time, which I also found to be pretty entertaining; I hope they actually use some of that stuff to create a believable world in the finished product.
I am not really looking forward to the fights with giant mechs, though, but that’s just a personal grudge against the damn things, possibly the result of playing too much Mass Effect and F.E.A.R. Other than that, this title is looking pretty good. What do you think?
