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."

They are probably counting on attracting nostalgic fans of the prior games in the series more than gamers looking for cutting-edge graphics or excellent storytelling.

I've enjoyed most of Raven's games, so I'm moderately hopeful about this one. Hopefully we'll get a prerelease demo so I can find out if it's worth buying. Either way I probably wouldn't spend $50 on it, but that's sadly true of most games these days.
