With a brand new Wolfenstein on the cards, one could be forgiven for salivating at the thought of tackling the somewhat controversial Third Reich frontman, Adolf Hitler. Unfortunately, the Ron Mael lookalike will not be putting in an appearance for id's Nazi-themed shooter ... at least this time.
"No, he's not in our game," confirmed smirking lead artist Kevin Cloud. "We've got to save something for future Wolfensteins. We can't do him in yet!"
The new title (to be launched "when it's done") follows on from 2001's awful Return To Castle Wolfenstein, with hero BJ Blazkowicz fighting occult-dabbling Nazis using a dimension rift known as The Veil. You will use special Veil powers such as time slowdown to take on the jackbooted jackasses as they try and take over the world using a new energy source, The Black Sun.
Hitler for DLC! Hitler for DLC!

Wolfenstein 3D is amazing because it is absolutely insane. I don't want a serious Wolfenstein, I want to pick up treasure hidden behind giant swastika paintings, eat dog food to gain health, and fight Hitler as he tools around in a mech suit.
That's how Grandpa did it, that's how I wanna do it.
WAT
Still waiting for a Wolfenstein that pays respect to Wolf3D though. I want points, Hitler, and dog food.
Hopefully it's better than ROTC, what a piece of crap game that was... zombies and dogs, get them the hell out of there.
Hitler fanboys need to check themselves before they wreck themselves. Mao for the win.
Episode 1: Hitler stole the princess.
Episode 2: Hitler killed Carl Weathers by cutting off his arm and stabbing him in the chest.
Episode 3: Hitler killed Carl Weathers again..but this time at a scrimmage boxing match.
Etc etc etc.
Though honestly, this one looks crummy. Mainly because it looks like Return and you'd think they'd have made some improvements by now...
Also "somewhat controversial Third Reich frontman" has to be the best description of Hitler ever.
What? That was a very good game. Are you sure you're not confusing it something else? Or maybe you didn't play the PC version?
Of course he played it on Xbox. RtcW: Tides of War was a good port, though. I played it coop with my little brother.
multiplayer was solid was well.

RTCW was awesome. Especially online, at least on the PC. Im getting sick of FPS games with powers though. Why is bullet time always one of those powers?
Also, is that screen from some sort of high-definition port? The one I'm playing looks exactly as it did the first time around.
Also, in before it's made and posted: that video of Hitler where he's pissed at losing his WoW account? Yea, that will be re-dubbed for this...I can see it now.
