Lol what a great trailer when did Wolfenstien get so crazy? I didn't play the first, is it like this?
Already got this pre-ordered on PS4. I do have one doubt about this game... how am I possibly going to decide between Mario Odyssey and this in what to play first?
Well, he used to be a contract killer before he became a game director so...Those are the eyes of a killer.
Do we have any Nazi sympathizers in here?
On topic though, I cannot fucking wait!
Remember back when killing Nazis in a videogame wasn't considered some kind of political statement because it was pretty universally agreed that Nazis are bad?
Nazis ruin everything, even our enjoyment of killing nazis ;_;

Just going to say it. 10/27 can eat a bag of dicks. This, Mario and Assassin's Creed on the same day is brutal.

I know that song (well, the non germanified version) but I cannot for the life of me think of it and it's driving me nuts.
The game paints the Nazis as sociopathic monsters in every facet and your only major form of interacting with them is killing them in all manner of violent fashions. The game hardly paints them in any kind of sympathetic light and glorifies their murder to absurd extents.
...what's the problem?

It's a video gameThe only problem I see is that it further instills the image of the stereotypical evil nazi villain in people.
Most actual Nazis look and act like ordinary people though, which makes it hard for some people to recognize Nazis when they don't look like what they know from movies and games.
See: Ann Coulter.
Never a bad time to kill nazisThe EZA discussion about how it might not be the right time for a Nazi related game to come out after the stuff that happened a while back.
It was already spoiled in the first gameplay they showed my manAwesome trailer.
I know it's a silly thing to nitpick but the sex scene spoils that Irene's daughter joins your side.
It's a alternate history fiction with magic and Super weapons made by ancient Jewish cults.The only problem I see is that it further instills the image of the stereotypical evil nazi villain in people.

I don't think Wolfenstein is muddying the waters.

Sure but media is a major influence on all of us and the way we depict things in the media will inform the real life opinions people have on those things.
I think its quite important to point out that real life Nazis don't wear certain clothes, don't look a certain way, don't act a certain way.
Thoughts is whats making someone a nazi and you can't see them.
Especially recently it has become very obvious that lots of Americans have trouble identifying Nazis when they are not wearing clear hints like a swastika.
Nazi ideology, unless directly connected in a visual way to the 3rd Reich, flies under the radar as just another opinion.
And the reason for that is that ever since WW2 ended movies and forms of media have depicted Nazis as grotesque villains instead of ordinary people.
Another thing is that media usually focussed on the evil deeds of the Nazis, rather than how Nazi ideology informed these evil deeds. The focus is on the actions, rather then the reasons for these actions.
If games want to be seen as "grown up" media or art, like movies, these kinds of reflections need to happen.

Uhh no lolNice, but damn, how does Return to Castle Wolfenstein from 2001 still have better flamethrower effects?

I find it funny how that black dude looks like Hitler
Uhh no lol
That was the weirdest thing, gamers being put off by the idea of killing nazis when killing nazis is one of the oldest gaming traditions.
Go to OT and check out that "nazi wearing swastica armband gets punched" thread, you'll be surprised!
I'm trying to avoid any footage since I'm already sold on the game, but how do the weapons sound?
TNO had the weakest guns I've heard in a modern shooter. I'm really hoping they stepped it up this time
Awesome gif
Never played Old Blood, though. Is it as good as TNO?
The Reveal Trailer shows a Nazi walking into a cafe and: 1) picking up something for a kid which he dropped and 2) ordering a milkshake. Both rather "normal" things you wouldn't attribute to Nazis. Its almost as if Nazis are wolves in sheeps clothing whom you wouldn't recognize unless they put their fascism on full display.
What the hell are you going on about? Dont derail this thread about how you Nazis are being representes unfairly in media. Go make another thread if you want to have an in depth discussion about Nazi representation in media.
I hope you argue as passionately about arabs and browns being represented unfairly in video games and black people in general in media.
Ann Coulter isn't a nazi though. She's a professional troll and provocateur.
Great to see all of you guys being so confident about those stuff not affecting the release of this game. I didn't follow those events too much (since I don't live in US) so judging by the EZA discussion I was worried that it may had a big impact and would force Bethesda to move the release of this game to a later date.
