Wolfenstein to take back its FPS throne |
Ó
In case you've forgotten, let us remind you of the statement uttered by Id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead a few weeks ago regarding more of their classic titles appearing on XBLA: "Making the surprise
announcement at X06 for DOOM worked out great, so I'll be tight lipped
about anything specific for now." As promising as it sounded back then, we learned today that we'll all be getting more than what we actually wished for.Graphic designer Kevin Cloud declared recently that their company, Id, and Wisconsin-based developer Raven Software, are currently working on a full-blown Castle Wolfenstein title. In case you guys are not aware (but you should be), Wolfenstein popularized the FPS genre for the PC. So in short, pay some homage rookies! Anyway, moving on...
"What we're doing with Wolfenstein is creating this one, large empire that is seamlessly loaded to the player as he explores his world," disclosed Cloud. Developer John Carmack, on the hand, said that "The Xbox 360 is the first console that I've ever worked with, that actually has development tools that are better for games than what we've got for the PC." With such words coming from the programmer extraordinaire, we can't help but feel giddy and excited.
No details are available for the next-gen Wolfenstein...for now. Despite that, X360 gamers can definitely sleep sound tonight and dream of castles and first person shooters as Cloud leaves us with this parting statement: "Wolfenstein is really a way of redefining the way first person games are experienced."

Not that we have not gotten words from developers of how easy the 360 is to develop for. But when the words comes from our deer mr Carmack himself, that means something. I think that Microsoft is pushing the 360 to an amazing horizon. Great jobs all you guys!
