The Good, and what I was expecting.

'Old-school combat mechanics are a refreshing change of pace.
Big, loud guns with excellent feedback & a simple but effective stealth approach'

Spear

It unlocked early for the EU last night, along with the US.

After about 40 mins of play:

There was hideous stuttering when it started. Apparently the game engine really doesn't like the compressed video texture option being turned off. Also SLI support isn't working currently. Frame rate is still good with everything maxed on a single GTX 680 at 2560x1440.

Gameplay is standard enough, mindless but still fast and fun. Enemies die to a small enough amount of hits, which keeps momentum up.

There's some hidden details which do add some hidden depth to it. Finding enigma pages to unlock an overall extra, finding maps reveals areas on your own map etc.

But at this point I haven't even finished the prologue, so it's not representative of the main body of the game yet.

Another update on pricing;

Smyths listing X1 & PS4 version @ 64.99.

Cheapest so far still in Xtravision for next gen versions @ 59.99 IF it's stocked. Will be checking later this evening.

Well, eurogamer being themselves again... Does anyone even take them Seriously anymore?

Would love to get this on PS4, but I am not paying those prices! Pc version most likely for me. Not going to get it now as I got enough stuff to play right now.

Grayditch

Is this fker actually out today?

wes

58.99 euro (PS4 & Xbox One) in Argos:

Wolfenstein Argos

49.99 euro on PS3 and Xbox 360 as well.

Checked HMV Grafton St. on my way into work, but I didn't see any copies on the shelves. I asked someone on the counter, and they had problems with there computer, and I was in a rush so didn't wait.

To note; It's confirmed that there is a New Game+ mode

Its only 60c cheaper there than G2A so id use G2A. Bought 1 or 2 games from them myself and so have others here. Also you should be able to get about 5% off voucher on line somewhere with a quick google. Failing that use discount code 'frags' and get about 3% off.

For anyone wondering its €27.99 on G2A without any discount code applied

calex71

EoinHef

Grayditch

RE Amazon.

Chap said system showed it as being out on Friday, which might also explain the post above about HMV not having it either, them being the one company now.

£39(PS4/XB1) on amazon and as the order is over £25 you should get free delivery. What price are you getting? Are you sure you have selected standard delivery and not express?

humanji

Apparently a lot of serious tech problems with the PC version: http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/05/20/wolfenstein-the-new-order-technical-issues-the-problems-detailed-plus-a-few-fixes/

May wait a week or two to see if they're sorted.

No frame rate or texture pop in issues for me. I do have the game installed on an SSD though which may help with any potential texture issues.

Yea, I'm not downloading 40gb+ for a game I'm not sure would run great yet.

That was it, although it's at €50,93, now for some reason. Not a huge difference, I suppose.

ShadowHearth

I have to say it looks fun.

Thats because of currency exchange i think,im not sure of the details of it but you can either get your bank exchange rate or amazons exchange rate. One is usually better than the other

Polygon have a nice feature on this and the studio behind it, Machine Games.

I got it from xtravision today, and HMV and xtravision are owned by the same company so.

How much did it retail for? I was going by the online store prices.

cloud493

€59.99 for the PS4 version, they also had the ps3/360 version for rental if your so inclined. Play through and return it by next Tuesday, I can get my 60 quid back for watchdogs

Thanks. Was the X1 there? That's the copy I'm looking to pick up.

cloud493

They did.

calex71

Ahhhhh damn our rubbish xtravision , I wasn't waiting so I went to gamestop, had €20 voucher to use up there anyway but still I was planning on using it for MS credit or something. I did get the Occupied Edition though, It has some photo prints one is of nazis in that iconic stroll across Abbey Road , has a card holder and a travel guide booklet.

Has anyone figured out to how to open that panel in the asylum yet?

Not that far yet, still on chapter 1 looking for hidden stuff. Does it get harder? Playing in Uber and they enemies do seem to go down very quickly.

lertsnim

Just picked it up for €43 on the US PSN. Can't wait to tear into it.

calex71

Up to chapter 3, this is good, very good so far.

It's by no means ground breaking but what it does it does very well. I imagine it would be very very easy on anything lower than Uber though.

Just picked this up today and discovered there is a whopping 5GB update to download for the game.

I am looking forward to playing the game but I am really getting sick of these huge updates (especially on release day!)

the one under the stairs? Go around to the stairway and shoot the chain off from between the steps, make sure you've killed the guards first otherwise you'll bring them all down on you

I have a soft spot for the wolfenstein trilogy (Return to Castle Wolfenstein, wolfenstein and now The New Order) they have that nice mix of old school and modern shooters that I like (the half life series is another example) and the games do know how to do secrets and do them well.

Though new order really tests my patience the enigma codes are going to be a massive pain if I dont want to use the internet and am looking at this right

. I dont recommend getting them in your first playthrough cause you need to get the codes and then look around each area you got a code and look for clues as to what the numbers you need to input to make the code work, for example in the police station and prison there are codes on the wall written in chalk that say stuff like 7X8 = 56, frankly going back now I'll have a hard time a) finding the points in the map where I found the intel and b) finding and working out these clues. These extra game modes better be amazing to justify the amount of bloody work you need to do for them

also

no third timeline by refusing to choose

Those were easy to figure out in terms of solving them , finding them is a whole other matter entirely, to solve them simply

multiply the number so 1:1 = 1 1:5 = 5 if the number is greater than 9 say 8:2 = 16 then you add 1+6 to give 7

69.99 It was the only one they had actaully , no standard editions on the shelf. Killed me to give them that much though there was 15% extra on the trade ins with my pals level 3 loyalty card


Did anyone find

The Wolf 3d

Just played the first level so far, and the game is excellent so far. One little annoyance is that you have to use a button to pick ammo etc, as opposed to just walking over it.

Also, love dual wielding weapons, which makes it easy to cut through enemies.

So far have gone in guns blazing.

Part of the need to manually pick up stuff is due to the health mechanic, and the user of over charging your health. Otherwise you couldn't control the timing of it.
