Wolfenstein: The New Order

[VincentHanna]

I'm playing it at the moment at 1080p, custom settings with Ultra everything and Uncompressed textures, and 4096 shadows (8192 seems pointless)

I also am using 2x EQ Supersampling forced in AMD drivers, because of the lack of in-game Anti-aliasing, so it's downscaling from 2560 x 1440 to reduce jaggies.

Graphics look good to me. It might not be Crysis 3 in terms of looks, but it's a lot more fun to play.

I think it's one of the more 'fun' first person shooters i've played in awhile. It's slightly less linear than COD but still has that over-the-top set piece thing going on. The opening 1946 section was brilliant and I've just finished infiltrating the prison in the 1960's

i7 4770k @ 4.5Ghz
AMD Radeon R9 290x
8GB Ram
Windows 8.1 (Update 1)

Seem to be getting a constant 60fps with V-sync on. The only time I see a slight stutter is if I've paused the game for a length of time, it stutters for a split second when you unpause to re-load all the textures.

Well stuck on final boss.. in Uber difficulty mode

Deathshead is a complete XXXXXXX to beat on uber.

Managed it.. Just

Happy days

It's another console fps on pc.

It's odd you say that. This is the most 'PC' single player shooter I've played in a while. Run and gun, just like the good old days before everything had to cater for joypads. Take away the iron sights and it would be all PC.

I agree with the run and gun and this is the only thing that is keeping me playing it. I genuinely have fun whilst that element of the game lasts only to be interrupted by a cut scene or some scripted part being chased by a metal dog where I have to slide under some rubble to escape it.

I'm actually really enjoying the cutscenes/story in this BJ and Fergus are awesome.

Also dual wielding automatic shotguns never ever gets old

Haha, my mate said something very similar to that just the other night, your right tho

 

[aceytrixx]

Yeah I just can't remember the last time any videogame weapon put that big a grin across my face.

 

[Jestahr]

Just completed it on PS4, really enjoyed it!

 

[Wilkeh]

This has easily been one of the best games I've played this year. It's awesome. Old school shooter, reminds me of the good old days

 

[Tute]

My GOTY by miles as it stands.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

They better do a sequel to this.

 

[BananaDunka]

Just gimme Doom 4 already.

I've played a bit but haven't finished it yet. When I first heard about The New Order and saw screens I thought jeez that looks cack. Take the most enjoyable bullet target out of a game and replace them with robots? WHY!?

I was pleasantly surprised when I started playing though. There are still a fair number of Nazi's and the cut scenes are well done

If I was going to complain about anything it would be the guns. It's just not Wolfenstein without the Luger, Mauser Rifle and Flammenwerfer. For me, it's really just another sci-fi shooter but with Nazi's in it.

The Luger is in the start of the game (albeit as Handgun 1946)

 

[Garfo]

On the last chapter, best game I've played for a while.

 

[Finners]

About to start playing this, Are there any essential mods yet to make my first play through that much better?

 

[BananaDunka]

2nd play through currently but playing on the other timeline (forgot about this) .

I forgot how to escape the little room you drop into after blowing up the turret and dropping through the hole in the floor?

:/

 

[Dirk Diggler]

What other timeline? How do you do that?

 

[BananaDunka]

When you complete it and you go back to the chapter select screen you get to see the other timeline selection screen. You can’t select the chapters after the first as it says you must complete the previous chapter to unlock it. Select the other character you originally played as and all chapters are replayable.

Playing the 2nd character your achievements and perks are still there so you can replay and get all the perks quicker again.
