Raven: Wolfenstein "Not a WWII Game"

Raven: Wolfenstein is "not a WWII game" on VG247 quotes Raven's Eric Biessman saying that the upcoming Wolfenstein game is not a WWII game: "While the game is set in WWII, it’s not a WWII game – that’s like saying the Indiana Jones movies are WWII movies." Of course the Indiana Jones movies are basically set before and after WWII, but we think we see the hair he's splitting here, as he goes on to describe the game's non-WW2 elements: "Dark science and strange occult mysteries combine to create larger than life characters, weaponry and enemies. This also lets us stray outside the realm of reality to create compelling game play – we don’t have to have realistic enemies and weapons, we can do things just for the sake of being fun and exciting. It really opened a lot of creative doors for us."

I can't really get stoked for the old franchises anymore. Quake Wars was fairly forgettable and D3/Q4 really hurt my faith in those series.

I know what you mean. They weren't bad games but they didn't move the franchises forward and were pretty dated in terms of gameplay. This is the worst offender because the graphics are so dated, presumably because it the engine licence cost them nothing and it allows it to run well on consoles. Wolfenstein should be a AAA brand, not some side project for interns.
