Wolfenstein: The New Order out May 23, Doom 4 beta access
Wolfenstein: The New Order out May 23, with Doom 4 beta access
Wednesday 19 Feb 2014 3:31 pm Share on Facebook Share on Twitter ![]() The big news here isn’t the release date for Wolfenstein: The New Order, which was always assumed to be due in the first half of this year, but the fact that Doom 4 actually exists and is far enough along that a beta is already being organised. After having been delayed and restarted multiple times Doom 4 had essentially turned into vapourware, with the departure of id Software founder John Carmack seeming to hint that the game had been completely abandoned. But that’s clearly not the case. The promotion for the new Wolfenstein only refers to the game as ‘Doom’, suggesting it’s being pitched as a reboot. Although Doom and Doom 3 already had the same basic story, so it wouldn’t make much difference. Bethesda has issued the following statement, but offered no details on the nature of the game itself: ‘Although you’ll receive the Doom beta key code with your copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order, the Doom beta won’t begin until a later, yet-to-be announced date. We will contact you with news and updates surrounding the start of the Doom beta via the email address provided during the key code redemption process.’ The New Order is being created by new developer MachineGames, which was founded by many of the same people that worked on The Chronicles Of Riddick and The Darkness at Starbreeze Studios. It’s out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC and was looking great last time we saw it. Thoughts? Email gamecentral@ukmetro.co.uk or leave a comment below |

Pretty addictive. Blew through the first disc in about four hours. Looked up and it was 3:30 in the morning. Haven't pulled one of those in a while, lol. The controls are uber easy and the game play is pretty slick. And either this game is pretty tough or my gaming skills have eroded away to n00bian levels. Likely the latter. Pretty bloody game. Lots of shooting, stabbing, and gutting going on. Lots o' dead Nazis everywhere you look.
Didn't read any of the backstory or anything, but I did wonder how the Nazi war machine was chugging on as strong as it was, especially considering how the last game ended. Probably going to go hit it again here in a bit. I'm not completely sure it's worth a 60 dollar purchase just yet for the casual gamer. I'm a fan of the Wolfenstein series, so I didn't mind. I enjoy it so far, but I'll keep up with the updates. |

It's a fun game. I'm probably three quarters done with it. The action never stops, and I found myself glued to playing it. I'm on normal as well, and it's a test. I might go back and play it on easy once I've completed it to try and find all the hidden objects and such. All in all, I'd recommend it, especially if you're a FPS fan. |

It's too bad this wasn't an RPG. I mean I know that would be a huge departure, but some open world gaming in a Nazi controlled alternate future would be badass.

I wonder if the game will be moddable. Could be fertile platform for mods.

So this game is ****ing frustrating at times. The audio mix is awful. I cannot hear anything that the NPCs are saying. There is no way to adjust the audio so that you can hear voices over sound effects. I have subs on but that is often white on white. They also just toss bad guys at you that cannot be killed in conventional ways without giving you a tip or hint. Maybe it is because I am playing on death incarnate (4 out of 5 difficulty) or something.
