Riddick, The Darkness, and Syndicate, yes.

Syndicate is a weird one, as it was in development partially in parallel with The New Order, but some Starbreeze guys went over to MachineGames to finish up Wolfenstein when their work on Syndicate was done.

Memories of Syndicate co-op still make me smile. Damn did they get the heft and intensity down perfectly for those firefights.

Great news on the green light, and I can definitely wait to let Machine Games take the time to do it right.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Yes.


Yeeeeees.

 

[mosdl]

I wish Machine Games would get Prey next...

 

[Azalean]

She's a cutie patootie. Also, I liked TNO well enough so I would be down for a sequel.

 

[How About No]

Sweet, new game to hold everyone over til the Doom Beta

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Machine's Wolfenstein games are great but I was holding on to a personal dream that they would make a Quake game next!

This is a nice consolation prize though

Ah, I see.

 

[Voidance]

This is good news. I'll be there day one.

 

[Nirolak]

Couldn't they just work on another game?

I for one enjoy the idea of getting more BJ. Hope she didn't confuse "sequel" with "DLC", though.

It's relatively unlikely in 2015 that if your game does too poorly for a sequel that your relatively new major retail game studio will still exist.

And if your major retail game did well enough for a sequel, well, it will get a sequel.

 

[Z3M0G]

2017 sounds good... may finish the first one by then.

Sometimes Christmas......sometimes birthdays.......sometimes an actress revealing news you want to hear via a interview you would have never listened to.

 

[Mad Season]

Wonder will it have multiplayer this time.
Something like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory style will be cool.

We don't need multiplayer

 

[gabbo]

As long as it ends with him having a son who goes on to host a tv show (and a grandson), they can fill in the rest however the want (shooting Nazi's please!)

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

Fantastic news.

This! Very happy we get a new game!

 

[Guy.brush]

Nice.
Machinegames: give us a real "Breitspurbahn" level please with combat in and around the giant carriages. Endbattle inside the "Grosse Halle" in the heart of Germania, against non other than the Fuhrer or whoever is in charge (he was ominously absent in TNO which could be a nice plot point)

 

[CountAntonius]

We don't need multiplayer

Speak for yourself. RTCW and ET were some of the greatest MP games of all time. I want my objective class based WW2 shooter back.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!

 

[viHuGi]

Day 1

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Yessssss. TNO was one of my favorite shooters in the last decade.

Hopefully they get their hands in a better engine though. And fix those sound mix issues.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Probably gon use that "Void" engine Bethsada is making Arkane use for Dishonored 2.

and whatever Mikami and co are doing at Grasshopper next, probably the same thing, 2017 at the earliest. I think its just a fancy way to say "idTech 6"

 

[PanicFreak]

Wolfenstein TNO was such an awesome game but TOB didn't quite scratch the same itch. I did beat both of them on Uber though. Day 1 for me

 

[Morrigan Stark]

like DIshonored 2, I wouldn'd mind playing Anya. Nazi germany was a very patriarcal society and playing a woman killing hordes of nazis could only open great lines in the world reacting to your action as a player " a polish, jewish, woman is making so much trouble, how is this possible ? " shouted the nazi officers, before you would impale them with a giant nail gun.

I didn't realize how much I wanted TNO 2 until I read this. Yes please!

id Tech 6 has been mentioned by name in an official capacity, but some believe that Void is a modified early fork of id Tech 6 as the engine is still being developed alongside Doom 4 itself (similar to the situation with Source and Vampire/Half-Life 2).

 

[AerialAir]

Day 1 for me. Just beat TOB a few weeks ago, and I've played all Wolf games to date.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Wolfenstein was my surprise GOTY last year. I love it so much. I've been anxiously awaiting a sequel since I watched the credits roll.

 

[Vibranium]

Can't wait. I hope it's on idTech6, the game can look much nicer on a better iteration of the engine.

Stuff to improve would be the perks system and maybe add more set pieces. I'd like to see more extensive weapons upgrading as well. Instead of challenge maps they should do some other sort of crazy mode. Also...bring back Feargus and confirm his timeline as canon.

I'd imagine there's no way in hell they would stick with jank ass idTech5. I hope to god at least.

 

[Poimandres]

No way would they work with Tech 5. At this stage it would probably pose more issues to work with Tech 5 than Tech 6.

 

[tearsintherain]

TNO was a surprisingly sleeper hit, not talked about much but I loved it. Story was great, it was cool having a small choice trickle out throughout the game, and very nice flow.

TOB wasn't quite as good, but it was nice they put it out as a standalone DLC. I wonder if that worked out well financially or if they should have just spent that time on a sequel, I can't imagine it sold all that well and it was at a pretty cheap price point.

 

[etta]

Where can I preorder?

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

They're not going to be able to recapture the shockingly good (for the trashy subject matter) story / characters, but they should at least be able to iterate and improve the quality gameplay.

I'd probably kill bj and have Anya or a totally new character but I don't really care if they want him to return either. Any way is fine for me

 

[GreyWind]

 

[SURGEdude]

Where can I preorder?

I usually only preorder maybe 2 games a year out of the 30 or so I buy near launch, but unless I hear something bad I will be first in line for this. Might even consider my first ever special edition which is really saying something for me.

I wouldn't put it past Machine Games to keep up the quality. Remember this is the team behind perhaps the best movie tie-in game of all time Riddick: Escape from Bitcher Bay.

I mean, The New Order wasn't the first time they've pulled great characters and performances out of shlocky material. For anyone that enjoyed the game and was familiar with the developer's pedigree, there was nothing "shocking" about how good those aspects were.
