Wolfenstein 3D dated for XBLA and PSN photo

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Wolfenstein 3D coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade is the worst-kept secret ever, but it's certainly up there. Activision has finally gone on the record to say that not only does it exist, but that the game is also planned for a PlayStation Network release.

No word on pricing yet (don't go over $10, guys!), but Wolfenstein 3D is hitting on June 3 and 4 for XBLA and PSN, respectively. Originally, I had thought these latest ports were just going to be an easy way to hype up Raven's upcoming Wolfenstein

While that's sort of true, actual work is being put into the marketing effort. Interestingly enough, players who buy and play the classic game can "earn accolades and be awarded gold for customizable weapon upgrades in id Software's all new Wolfenstein." Who doesn't like gold?

Would you REALLY pay $10 for Wolf3d? It's $5 right now on Steam and that's still too much in the name of nostalgia. Download the shareware version somewhere, play it for five minutes, and snap out of it. It was great when it came out but when you go back today you see it for what it really is- an extremely super simple game where your main enemy is the mono-textured maze nazi fortresses are apparently made out of, with no map or other indication of what's going on. Doom still holds up since that has height and an automap and lighting and texturing and it's fucking Doom, but Wolf3d? Not so much.

If they do some tweaking in the game, higher res textures and sounds, maybe it's worth 5 bucks. If not, I won't buy it for the third time.

They better be selling the game for 5 bux. Cause that's the highest I'm willing to pay for. In fact, they should update the game with HD graphics, controls, and maybe more levels.

Yeah I will definitely get it for $5... I'm stoked. Can't wait to fall back into the walls of castle Wolfenstein.

If it's more than $5 then I'm just sticking with my 5 1/4 floppies.

Getting this with the rest of the Id Software pack on Steam and playing it just last year for the first time... Yeah I'll just stick with Doom. Maybe it's the nostalgia that keeps me able to still play Doom, or maybe it's that the game has more than 3 guns and much better level design.

5 dollars would be a good price point for this.I do like the idea of connectivity between this and the new game.

Like when this game was new, games should still have secret rooms which you can only find by pressing an action button while walking against the right wall, those were the days.
