THE GRANDFATHER OF FIRST-PERSON-SHOOTING RETURNS IN WOLFENSTEIN: THE NEW ORDER

        Greetings from StormWulf, and welcome to another gaming update. We got alot to talk about to day so settle in and get comfortable. 

 First things first, the guys at Ubisoft have decided to re-release an HD remastered version of the original Far Cry. Far Cry: Classic, as it's called, will be available on both the PSN and the XBL: Market place on Feb.12th for a small fee of $9.99. For those of you who live in Europe Farcry Classic will be available in store as part of a Far Cry compilation called Far Cry: The Wild Expedition, which will include Far Cry's 1-3 as well as FC: Blood Dragon for a small fee of 29.99 euros. For those of us who do not live in Europe, Ubisoft has decided to release a similar compilation call Far Cry: The Compilation, but it will be a PS3 exclusive and it will NOT be including Far Cry 1 and will cost $39.99. So probably better off spending your $9.99 for the original and buying the rest seperately. 

   Now we come to the meat and taters portion of todays gaming update. Wolfenstein, to veteran gamers like myself, Wolfenstein is synonomous with being the very first first-person shooting game. It paved the way for some of the best game series on store shelves today. Without it there wouldn't be any HALO's or Call of Duties, just a world ruled by Side-scrolling Platformers, which there is nothing wrong with, just the gaming world is better to have seen the creation of such a genre. Now the gaming grand dad is back and with an entirely new engine and gameplay, so be prepared to enter the world of Wolfenstein: The New Order. 

Title: Wolfenstein: The New Order

 

Developer(s): Machine Games

Publisher(s): Bethesda SoftWorks

Genre(s): First-Person-Shooter

Platform(s): PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX One
Release Date: 2014

Plot: Set in an alternate version of 1960s Europe, where the Nazis prevailed in the second World War, players re-assume control of the series protaganist: William "B.J." Blazkowicz. Blazkowicz, who is know as an American war hero, is tasked with launching an "impossible" counter-offensive mission to take out the Nazi regime and the arsenal of "super-weapons".

Gameplay/Overview:  New Order will follow in true FPS fashion having players play across different levels to complete seperate mission objectives and tasks. Player health will be a little different than most games now, where in the player health bar will be divided into seperate sections that can regenerate overtime, but loose on section of health and players will have to rely on health packs to regain lost health. All paranormal themes from the preivous games have been completely removed from this title, instead game developers are going to be focusing more on retro-futuristic elements. With New Order being this far from a release date, not much has been revealed about its gameplay, but extensive research on my part has revealed elements of underwater exploration, along with moments of mountain-esc vehicles chases, as well as player-controlable Nazi war machines. When more info is released you can expect StormWulf to be there to retrive it and deliver it to you my little gaming minions. Until then...stay frosty minions!

The Evil Within: WHO WANTS TO GET EVIL?!

Hey! Everyone's favorite gaming guru: StormWulf here to deliver today's gaming update.
Right so down to the brass tax.

If you've been around for the last couple decades then know who these people are, what they represent, and where they are from. These people, while fictitious in nature and creation, are synonymous to one man: Shinji Mikami. Mr. Mikami is the creator of the critically acclaimed "Resident Evil" Series, now he has split-off from Capcom to create his own company Tango Gameworks. Now he's taking us back to his Survival-Horror roots with his first solo title, along side industry great Bethesda Softworks, "The Evil Within". This title promises to be a "realization of pure horror" with a combination of "anxiety inducing horror", and mind numbing psychological horror. So why don't we dissect this little beauty shall we??
Consoles: Xbox 360, PS3, & PC

Publisher: Bethesda Softworks

Creator/Production Co.: Tango Game Works

Release Date: 2014

Plot: Right, so, every good game (survival horror especially) requires a story that will keep players wanting more and glue to their seats. What I've read of the plot of Evil Within so far, it has me wanting more, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
"When Det. Sebastian Castellanos and his partners, Joseph Oda and Julie "Kid" Kidman, rush to the scene of a gruesome mass murder, a mysterious. powerful force is lying in wait. After witnessing the brutal killing of his fellow officers one after the other, Det. Castellanos is then attacked and loses consciousness. He awakens in another world where monsters are wondering about, he must fight his way through a world of death and his close friend's madness, in order to understand what's going on. Sebastian has to face his fears in order to survive on a journey to discover what lies in the shadow of that mysterious force."

Overview and Gameplay: The Evil Within will feature a 3rd person-over-the-shoulder-view, with the ability to move and shoot at the same time...THANK YOU MIKAMI!! That had to be one of the only real down falls of the RE series....Anyway. Players can expect to face overwhelming odds, unthinkable horrors, highly-crafted environments, limited resources, and cruel traps as they fight their way to answers. The environment will constantly change to help disorient and confuse players, and boasts threats from any direction. While fire-arms are the main weaponry, relatively scarce ammo will force the player to player to resort to different means to defend themselves throughout the game.

Meaning their will be melee weapons such as knives and axes, and traps to set such as mines. All items will be accessible from a inventory wheel and can be quick selected via the D-pad. There will also be some stealth gameplay, and the game will feature it's own chainsaw wielding enemy, paying homage to RE4's Dr. Savaldor.
The Evil Within creator Shinji Mikami was quoted saying
" I've found my focus and once again I'm starving for pure survival horror. I'm being VERY hands-on to see that the quality is there. Rest assured."
Meaning this game will hopefully be pretty damn entertaining if he has anything to say about it. This title is said to be the beginning of a new franchise, lets hope it lives up to that kinda hype.
This is StormWulf signing out saying: Stay frosty folks.
