It was released on for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The game is the seventh main entry in the Wolfenstein series and the In the final area, go to the trains on the left. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a 2017 first-person shooter produced by MachineGames and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the sequel to the 2014 game Wolfenstein: The New Order and its prequel Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. The game was released on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Andreas Öjerfors was one such developer, the senior game designer for Wolfenstein 2, and in a talk at Digital Dragons 2018 in Poland last week he outlined what he thought went well, and what he thought didn't.Take stealth, for instance. It was, as Edwin more eloquently said in his Wolfenstein 2 review, "vicious, affecting, witty, spaced-out, crude, inventive, morbid and for the most part, a success."But while we all merrily mashed Nazis in 1960s America, developers at MachineGames cringed at a parade of things we didn't see - the "I"s which weren't dotted, the "T"s uncrossed. Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus was a rip-roaring science-fiction romp through an alternate history.
Enemies discovered you too easily and too often, and you'd be left with no choice but to fight. "Sometimes it felt inconsistent," Öjerfors said in his talk. The first two were fine but stealth was weak.
Öjerfors admitted it was "probably the least enjoyable enemy in the game". Great! But what about all of the other guns now gathering dust? Using more tools is more fun, Öjerfors said.Then there's the Laserhund , a frustratingly fast and solid dog robot with a very powerful laser beam. It's the best weapon in the game, according to Öjerfors - great at range, great up close, there's loads of ammo and, when you start upgrading the gun, there's no need to ever use anything else.
"Having such a big enemy and making fun gameplay is just very difficult, so we just stayed away from doing enemies like that this time around."Communicating with the player was still an issue. "We were never really happy with London Monitor battle," Öjerfors said. It might have been visually impressive but it wasn't fun - it was bloody annoying - to fight. No one really liked it, not players, not MachineGames. "The idea was to add some features on top," Öjerfors said, "but that never works - there's always some stuff that has to be rebuilt." The Laserhund.Fortunately there wasn't, however, a London Monitor - the Wolfenstein 1 boss as big a skyscraper. Instead, it was built onto the Kampfhund enemy during production.
"This was not well communicated."Communication was better in Wolfenstein 2 - the super soldier backpacks were more obvious weak points - but could be better still. "But people just don't know that," Öjerfors said. You could shoot off armour pieces and target weak points underneath.
"Play freedom is for me, personally as a player and a developer, really interesting," he said. "That's something we would save for E3 two years into the future if we were doing that."But if MachineGames were doing Wolfenstein 3, Öjerfors would like to give more freedom to players, both in where players can go and what we can do. "I can't tell you that!" he said with a laugh. Nevertheless, there's hope.When I asked whether it was time for MachineGames to leave hero BJ Blazkowicz be, and stop rebuilding him as if it were the mean boy next door in Toy Story, Öjerfors faltered: "I can't really answer that without talking about what we're doing."He was asked a similar question during his Wolfenstein 2 postmortem talk - a question about what MachineGames would change in a third instalment. You need to communicate silently through cues and that's really difficult."They're all areas which could be improved for a third Wolfenstein game, which brings us neatly to the question of 'will there be?' - as if Bethesda would be silly enough to let a developer loose at a conference who would simply answer "yes". "Communicating with the player is probably the most difficult part of being a game designer trying to make the player understand what the player must without feeling like they're being told to do things.
If we would continue down that route we would play with the format a bit, do something that would interest us."Which isn't to suggest Bethesda would be forcing a third game out of MachineGames. "This is now our third Wolfenstein game. "Not because it's necessary but because we would like to do something different," he said.
Whatever we do, even if we did Tetris 2, Tetris 2 would be a first-person shooter."Where MachineGames could take a theoretical Wolfenstein 3 in the future is a juicy question to ponder. "We are a first-person shooter studio," Öjerfors told me - "that's one of the core values and ambitions of MachineGames. As long as it's a product that can sell, we look at what we like we tell the stories we tell because we want to, we create the type of gameplay we want because that's what we like, that's what we're interested in."Rest assured, 'playing with the format' does not mean ditching first-person shooters - in this, MachineGames is resolute. Bethesda believes if you make a great game, it will sell, and we believe in that."I mean, we don't get rich from making the games so we do it because we really want to. "It's not cynical in we have to make the most commercially viable product.
