Great, that means a stupid watered down bland sequel is coming.
Do you think MachineGames is known for watered down bland sequels?
I know they kind of went all in on the Wolfenstein universe, but I haven’t heard of most of those as being watered down and bland. Most of them were pretty well liked, I thought. I certainly like several of them. Maybe I’m out of the loop and they’re considered bland and watered down now.
I mean, the other thing they released this year was a bunch of levels for Doom II (Legacy of Rust) that was also pretty well received. You don’t have tons of modern developers dumping their time into Doom II levels. They had also previously put out levels for Quake and Quake 2.
I’m not worried about MachineGames (although I’ve never played a game by them). I’m worried about Disney stepping in and attempt to micromanage everything with their greedy corporate bullshit.

Don’t worry, the content mill and increasingly short deadlines set by their corporate overlords will do that to them!
Wolfenstein 2 TNC is widely regarded as inferior to Wolfenstein TOS. Youngblood just made sure to bury that franchise for good.
Do you mean The New Order? I can’t think of a game with the abbreviation TOS. I liked both new Colossus and New Order regardless
Youngblood is critically panned.
Youngblood was made by a B-team
Every video I’ve seen of it doesn’t look great
Played 50h of it, did absolutely everything that can be done in the game. It’s amazing. Really solid Indiana Jones game, with a good story, phenomenal voice acting, good levels, and a great feel of cohesion across the whole game. Gotta say though, the ending could have been better (too many cutscenes), and the secret ending is not worth doing (a lot of extra fetch quests to unlock it, and it felt underwhelming). It’s a solid 8.5/10 game by itself, or a 9/10 if you really love the Indiana Jones movies, which I do. As I said, the worst part is the amount of cutscenes, but if you really like the movies, it feels as if you’re watching a slice of a movie that never made it to the big screen. But don’t mistake me, there’s plenty of gameplay in it, I’m just one of those gamers that just hate cutscenes.
Chiming in. The teaser trailer was mediocre at best and I was expecting the worst. The game is fucking phenomenal.
Hear hear.
I’ve never seen any videos of it, but I’ve been playing it, and it’s fucking excellent.
Oh really! That’s nice
I honestly like the slow movement and feeling like Indy really isn’t a superhero. It kind of kicks ass.
I’m actually really impressed at how they’ve leveraged what they were doing with Wolfenstein to do something so wildly different in tone and execution (I mean, other than killing Nazis, that parts the same). We need more creativity and breaking gaming boundaries like this, exploring entirely new genres of gaming essentially.
I like it. Still wish it was wolfenstein 3
Depends on the person. I’m flabbergasted by looking at metacritic etc where it’s getting ~85.
I find it boring, clunky, and unoptimized. Decent story though.
