    New trailer featuring some gameplay footage from the previous video.



    Pre-ordering also gets you access to the Doom 4 beta it seems.

    I have to say I am looking forward to this, slight spoiler if you watch the video to the point with the final card, nothing major just it might be more fun to make the final choice yourself :D

    Saw an interview with the devs saying it clocks in at around 20 hours if you explore everywhere and get all the collectibles, didn't mention how extensive the collectibles were though so hard to gauge that 20 hours in terms of play vs bloat and padding with collectibles. They also didn't mention difficulty used on that time either.

    Looks good, but from various searches there will be no co-op element. This will hinder it's playiable a bit. Still, if the reviews are decent one to put on my to get list.

    No multiplayer at all which was a surprise to me , usually this is the exact type of game that gets MP needed or not.

    I think I read that they really wanted to try to make a good single player game, as an alternative to the usual MP games with a weak SP tacked on. I dont have much faith that this will work in a sales way though :(

    On the one hand it will the 1st major release on ONE/PS4 in some time which could help it given the lack of games anyway on those but on the other its a week before watch_dogs which will almost certainly hurt it sales wise I think.

    Wolf ET (the best one) was meant to be SP and MP but seemingly the Sp was **** so they said "**** it" and released it as MP only for free.

    This looks decent will get it when its a tenner or less, which wont be long looking at prices on g2play.

    Quite looking forward to this, looks like it will be a lot of fun.

    Also in case anyone hasn't seen the different ways to play, here is a better idea of the stealth gameplay vs the traditional run and gun.

    It actually looks like a lot of fun. I'll pick it up if it's cheap enough.

    Autoaim I imagine with crosshair turned off. Gameplay footages are usually shìte anyways and have a few tricks / cheats enabled.

    I'll probably pick this up, looks like decent fun. I like the twin shotguns destroying all around :)

    Agreed , no fun to be had in this game at all by the looks of it :p

    If borderlands 2 taught me anything, it's that dual wielding guns > not :pac:

    I want it so bad, but single player means it'll go cheap fairly quickly. Bleh.

    Slightly off topic, but do they predict when the Doom 4 beta will actually be available?

    I reckon they will announce that at E3. Techincally, Doom 4 hasn't even been announced yet! We all just kinda knew they were making one after they said they scrapped the original Doom 4 to rebuild it from scratch.

    I'm cautiously optimistic on this one. It seems to have a potentially good mix of old school mechanics and violent fun. But it's already up for a day 1 patch that's 7.3 gig in size:

    An issue if you have a limited connection that's for sure, though I'd rather a big patch than none at all if there are issues with the game after it's gone to be pressed. A patch that size is questionable though surely has to contain some kind of game content or fmv and not simply modifying some of the games code?

    MS and others really need to look into some kind of compression for delivering patches etc though that would require extra free space to extract / install etc. that said for all I know maybe they already have compressed them :confused:

    It's one of the most frustrating aspects of the X1 at the moment. I have limited bandwidth (Connection of 2mg) and these game patches are ridiculously large.

    So frustrating purchasing a game and having to download for another day before I actually play the game.

    Had an issue recently with Dead Rising 3 where some of the files got corrupted somehow...I ended up having to re-download 13gbs :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Shame they haven't attempted a multiplayer mode imo. Couple of the best online shooters of their time, was never that fussed on the SP games tbh.

    I'm glad it's not multilayer. Single player seems to be a 'dying art'.

    Glad the focus is Single player only. As long as it delivers.

    I don't ever remember Wolfenstein having particulary good single player tho, maybe the original -> 3D were good in their day (Before my time unfortunately). RTCW and ET were amazing multiplayer games, 2 of the best imo... its what i'll always remember from "Wolfenstein".

    This just looks like a serious sam styled shooter, doesn't look like its something that would be sacrificing plot or something important from the SP to make a MP mode.

    I get why people want developers to drop the MP in some games (Your Mass Effects etc) but Wolfenstein...
    'dying art'

    Jesus....
