They included an option to squeeze through vents, stilts to reach higher areas, and a charge that would let me bust through walls. My demo began with a member of MachineGames explaining to me the new mechanics, and handing me a cheat sheet so I could remember the inputs and try them out.
How did MachineGames’ addition fit into this legacy? By giving us a story which was both high concept, and pure camp. The original Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny crammed in wacky stuff like dog food as health pickups, cyborg Hitler, and zombie nazis. The original games have some weird quirks that created a pretty unique tone. While Doom notably included a story for the sake of pushing it aside, Wolfenstein leaned into theirs. Wolfenstein: The New Order pulled off the modern FPS steeped in old school flavor two years before Doom 2016. All the campy charm in the world wouldn’t have made for a good game, however, and the series digs deep into its genre roots to deliver in the gameplay department.
It has been moments like those which gets me excited about the series going forward. I enjoyed the mechanics introduced in Wolfenstein: The New Order, but if I were to reflect on that game here, the first thing I’d mention is nazis on the moon. MachineGames has included a number of skills that, on paper, look like they might better fit into a Metroidvania style game. At least, I didn’t before I sat down to play.
(I wonder if these issues are the reason version 1.4 exists, haven't played it yet though.Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has some new tricks in the gameplay department, but I personally don’t care. Also them averages have refused to be over 50% despite me doing the game 100% twice. That glitch won't happen in that save file at all if you are able to proceed normally. So the best bet is to record with Fraps and: start the game, save immediately, see if the game glitches, stop recording, maybe restart and load the save. Now, this happens randomly, but as of typing this text, it didn't want to occur at all when Frapsing DOSBox (at 60 fps, if it makes any difference). Also I encountered a problem with Floor 2, that if you reveal a certain secret (the one on the left side of the wall in the long corridor, where turning in the end of it has locked door leading to the exit), you need cheats to complete the floor as you can't access a certain place at all. The download available is a hacked version 1.0, without the copy protection.
