The game is available for download for PC and Consoles (at the &#8220;Wow.. am I dreaming?&#8221; price of $19.99). It&#8217;s also available on Steam for the same price. Not sure why they didn&#8217;t go retail. Guess they see this as the new age, and most people just download the game and play it instead of buying a physical copy.<br \/>\nThis is a standalone expansion for Wolfenstein: The New Order. Aka, you won&#8217;t need The New Order installed to play it.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re probably asking yourself &#8220;Ugh.. <em>The New Order<\/em> had sex scenes! I want to see Nazi ass kicking like in RTCW!&#8221; Well, I think you&#8217;re in luck, my friend.<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me, this almost feels like a prequel between <em>Wolfenstein 3D<\/em> and <em>Return to Castle Wolfenstein<\/em>; going back to its Nazi ass-kicking roots. Of course, that&#8217;s what I said about <em>The New Order<\/em>. And look what that turned out to be.<br \/>\nBy the way, I still can&#8217;t complete that game due to the bug affecting my type of GPU.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to this one. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ign.com\/videos\/2015\/3\/4\/wolfenstein-the-old-blood-debut-trailer-ign-bx\" target=\"_blank\">video I saw<\/a>(which looked like a cheesy 1950&#8217;s drive-in movie) at least shows what I said above. It has scenes from RTCW, such as the railcars. And it looks really amazing, too. This is why I feel it could possibly be a prequel. Though, only a few playthroughs from another Youtuber will answer this question.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that is why they released this game. Some people complained about &#8216;Screw saving the world, let&#8217;s fuck eachother instead!&#8217; (though I do have to admit that even <em>Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon<\/em> had this&#8230;), and this is their way to redeem the game and its long-time fans of the famous First Person Shooter in history.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s also mentioned is &#8220;You will be playing Wolfenstein 3D in Wolfenstein: The Old Blood&#8221;. Even though there was a minigame of Wolfenstein 3D in The New Order(except with the newer guns). Yet according to IGN&#8217;s interview, they mention that &#8220;more Wolfenstein 3D will be added in The Old Blood&#8221;, and about an Easter Egg called &#8220;Nightmare&#8221;. Interesting.<br \/>\nIt goes on to mention of nine levels of this &#8216;Nightmare&#8217; mode. You can &#8216;awaken&#8217; from this nightmare by either dying, or hitting an &#8216;End Nightmare&#8217; mode. You can also go back into this nightmare by &#8216;going back to bed&#8217;.<br \/>\nSo there&#8217;s a sleep system in this game, and you keep having nightmares over an ancient FPS. Yep. That&#8217;s me alright. Except mine involve Cities: Skylines and factory employers tearing me apart, knowing I&#8217;m the reason for &#8216;not enough workers!&#8217;.. mmm.. got sidetracked there.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I bought it. $20. 34GB game. Made by the developers of The Elder Scrolls series. Feel it&#8217;s going to suck monkey balls. But, it could also be one of the best $20 investments ever. Maybe it&#8217;s only worth this price. Comparing it to the $60 asking price for The New Order, this is a steal.<br \/>\nMaybe Bethesda is doing things different from other devs; allowing you to pay for what you feel it&#8217;s worth. Or.. it still could be a pile of monkey balls. Most of the 34GB is probably the nine levels of this &#8216;Nightmare mode&#8217;. And also, hearing 9 levels.. is that the entire game? Is this why it&#8217;s only $20, because they cut out all the good stuff to save it for more expansions (aka more money)? Aka, turning into EA without us even knowing it.<br \/>\nProbably just making tons of assumptions that aren&#8217;t true (at least, I hope so). I&#8217;ll find out tomorrow, when the download&#8217;s complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the big gaming story today.
