The Wolfenstein reboot means a lot to me. The New Order and The Old Blood are some of my favourite games of all time, but after those ones it kinda just went downhill. Youngblood and The New Colossus were huge disappointments, and I feel like we won't be getting a Wolfenstein 3 anytime soon...

Yeah I wouldn't get your hopes up with the Indian Jones game, they fucked up big time with Fallout 76, Wolfenstein Young Blood and The Elderscrolls online. They've almost abandoned the fanbase with the fallout tv show (As its a show not for fans, but for people who've never seen the series, its absolutely frustrating for people who already know the lore), so I wouldn't count their game being any better unless they're desperate

The thing that bothers me most about Youngblood is the story implies that almost 20 years after the new colossus the nazi’s still haven’t been defeated. It sucks all the excitement out of Wolfenstein 3’s story and setting before it even exists. If I remember correctly they are only hanging onto Europe in the 1980’s when Youngblood takes place and the rest of the world is rebuilding or revolting but the writers expect us to believe that BJ and his friends liberated America and he was like this is enough. Not buying it he hated the Nazis and wouldn’t stop until they’re all dead.

The guy with the eye patch and broken feet in Deathshead's Compound (1946) is Prendergast. Prendergast was the one who triggered the "You ain't got no churches in England?" exchange with "Blondie," the snarky British Paratrooper. He did survive getting launched out of the incinerator room window at the end of the chapter, in addition to the fall into the Baltic Sea by fortune of being nearest to Fergus/Wyatt. His room can be found in the Berlin Safehouse, adorned with Christian paraphernalia. Fergus/Wyatt will make a comment about how they made mistakes in Blazkowicz absence, and sent him off on a mission where he never returned.

Really great observation, I had no idea that was his room but looking back it's obvious since Prendergast was shouting about reading his bible and such before jumping out of the incinerator

New Order was genuinely surprisingly good to me. I picked it up expecting a generic shooter, but got the opposite. But then I mistakingly played New Colossus...

Too many long cutscenes, nonsense upon nonsense, awful humour and annoying characters and then the gameplay... The level designers must've been asleep.

[@kireta21]

I never actually finished New Order. It was sold on me as old school shooter in new tech, but what I got instead was game that possibly wanted to replicate what old shooters were like, but was not allowed to leave their AAA baggage behind: slow movements, lots of cutscenes, walking expositions, "Press E to keep playing", pointless "stealth" sections. Old Blood improved gameplay-to-bullshit ratio significantly, though it was still there. Sure, zombie level was a slog, stealth level was insulting, but more often then not it would let me actually enjoy the game with no interruptions. And I loved first villain/boss when he comes at you in power armor screaming bloody murder because you killed his dog.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

Pro Tip: You can pretty much just run through that stealth section in OB. All but one of the guards aren't fast enough to follow you to the door locks, and you can easily lure that guard behind a generator so he doesn't have LoS on the lock. You can skip a huge chunk of the dock stealth section if you just strafe jump onto the boat and if you b-line for the lever, you can get through that area in

There's also a movie taking place between the 3rd and 4th game because for some reason, each and every sequel has a time gap of 25 years or so.

[@GangsterFrankensteinComputer]

@@thientuongnguyen2564 WTF Guerrilla is like some weird GTA clone reboot, no wonder I've never heard of it. Especially with it coming out right after GTAIV. Was it any good? It looks dogshit. I only know of the first two games, just remember shooting people half way through the map with the x-ray railgun, and a DM map with two towers and after 3 minutes everything would be levelled.

[@thientuongnguyen2564]

@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer No shit, it was a GTA clone, duck-fuck. But remember, right after that they tried to return to the old formula with Armageddon, a third-person shooter and it literally killed Red Faction. Had it not been for the third game, people wouldn't have flocked to the first two and I gotta say, Guerrilla was the highest-rated in the series for a reason. And no, it wasn't a "GTA clone reboot", it was a DIRECT sequel to Red Faction 1 and 2, but the EDF became the bad guys.

[@Hrotriks]

Why didnt you mentioned Half Life 1 & 2 ? It also had a major influence on FPS games , and it kept some of the traditional fps elements and also added physics to the genre.

[@benjaminzarkhin1293]

Bud, Wolfenstein 3D was NINE YEARS ahead of Half-Life. There wouldn't be Half-Life without Wolfenstein.

[@Hrotriks]

@@benjaminzarkhin1293 And were the heck did I say Wolfenstein didnt happened? Am saying that post Doom and before Halo was Half Life

[@squirrelsyrup1921]

It goes like this: Spear of Destiny (Wolfenstein) -> inspires Doom -> then creators of Doom also make Quake 1+2 -> Half-Life built on Quake 2 engine -> gaming peaks in 1996-1998 with the evolution of the FPS into the immerssive sim with Thief, System Shock 2 and Deus Ex 1.

Nicely done

[@yairmimran729]

The new order and the old blood are my two favourite fps games of at least the 2010s. I really hope machinegames learns from their mistakes and give us wolfenstein 3. Maybe something where bj kills "evil mustache man" like they say he did in youngblood, and explaining where are Wyatt or Fergus (probably dead)

Wyatt always Wyatt never Fergus.

Ah yes. I remember the hospital/asylum mission... So you're telling me he sat there for 14 YEARS. Without aging a minute AND keeping all his muscle mass to be able to even stand instead of everything being atrophied from just wasting away? Seems legit! Somehow I keep remembering that whole scene being a dream of his though? Or maybe I am remembering some other game. - Ah, it was the dream in the courtroom probably.

[@Rockport1911]

As a german Wolfenstein obviously wasnt a great seller here so I mostly watch videos like this. Of course the americans can have way more freedom using symbols that are essential forbidden to show in germany for good reasons. But great supercut here :) The concept of the Nasties winning 2nd WW is unique and gets portrayed very serious in the first games but almost comically in The New Colossus. But The New Colossus is one of the wackiest inconsistent sequels out there anyway...

[@thientuongnguyen2564]

For me, it's funny that relics from dead empires when, depend on context, are considered "taboo". Now I don't advocate for any of them but simply banning the symbols for fear of people building the same thing is ridiculous as there have been many more horrid empires committing more war crimes than WW2.

[@elishafollet5347]

​@@thientuongnguyen2564I agree that banning symbols is ultimately pointless but since the nasties were German it's probably allot more personal to them since it's apart of they'r history, a very dark and twisted stain on theyr history unlike us in the u.s who's only history with the nasties is fighting them here and there. (Our top priority was Japan at the time so I'm not sure how many battles we had with the nasties.)

Wait... talking about wolfenstein and not mentioning Return to Casle Wolfenstein is a crime!

[@benjaminzarkhin1293]

It isn't technically part of the reboot franchise, although it's an absolute classic.

[@graved1gger]

It's not a part of a reboot but a part of the franchise. And for some it was kinda big part. And yet only wolf 3d was mentioned in history part. I've played wolfenstein 3d on 80286 and then when RTCW came out it was big, sure, not a perfect game but it was fun. I'll be honest, I had more fun playing rtcw than any of the rebooted games.

[@jacplac97]

​​@@benjaminzarkhin1293 Thing is, The Old Blood is one huge nod to the RTCW itself. Escaping the castle's dungeon. Your other agent getting shocked during interrogation, the cable train ride, the town, catacombs, zombies. Hell you can even hear the classi "aroooga" base alarm in one of the sections. And the main Naughty baddie, Helga von Bulow, is an obvious nod to Helga von Schabbs. Both being overweight officers of SS Paranormal Division, who got killed by a monster they had awakened. I'd argue that skipping RTCW in The Old Blood section, is like skipping the Wolf 3D, while making an essay on history of Wolfenstein.

[@lainiwakura8560]

Found this video thanks to the youtube feed, and I am honestly so happy to see someone extensively cover the reboots, they're not just not talked about ENOUGH, I feel like they're not talked about AT ALL, barely anyone mentioned it aside from obligatory Gman I think. At least I remember people talking more about how much of a slop Youngblood ended up being. It's like "if you thought New Colossus was bad, hold my beer" situation there. Edit: I am extremely sad that what we got was Youngblood in the end. Modern AAA-gaming consumed this franchise like a plague. First it was the marvel-esque writing in NC, and then lifebars, same low bar of writing and damage numbers in Youngblood. Feels like they just wanted to have playable female characters, but didn't know how to make it work. Should've just let it rest after New Order and Old Blood DLC. Wait till the time this franchise could've gotten something much better, something it truly deserved when it comes to getting a sequel that holds up to the bar that New Order has set. Loved the video, subbed, bell is on, I'm looking forward to more things as I watch some of the other videos you've got.
