Release date: 5th May.

http://www.bethblog.com/

edit - on CDKeys.com for £9.45 as opposed to £14.99 on Steam.

edit edit - aaaaand CDKeys have asked for a copy of my driver's license or passport. Seriously, again with this nonsense.

edit edit edit - Refunded, not messing about with sending pictures of myself or my address for the sake for a £9 game lol.

Yeah, I've never bothered with CDKeys after reading similar nonsense.

You could get it for £11.70 from GMG using the 22% off code. There may be cheaper key sites but I always feel safe using GMG.

Yep, that's what I did in the end. Used the credit I had in my account that I'd forgotten about.

I've been buying from CDKeys for the last year. Never heared or experienced such issues.

The original was meant to be a great game, But an awful port. Sad to see so many people pre-order and support this crap. Unless they bucked the trend and sorted out the speed up bugs for frames above 60 they can shove it between the lips they never kiss with.

Got mine as well and activated with steam, but can't see a pre-load option, Is that just me? Hope I'm able to pre-load, if its anything like that last one it'll take me a while?

I gave them my money because I thought the new order was fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I don't know about it being a bad port, I didn't really notice any issues but googling that I see lots of moaning, but meh, I had great fun.

There were/ are no frames above 60 as the engine is locked to 60fps.

It wasn't a port at all.

You mean the original from 1992? It was a great game, and not a port.

Sad to see so many people pre-order and support other crap.

God forbid our framerates ever drop below 60fps, when I'm gaming I alt-f4 whenever this happens, no matter what the game.

The original was a great game. I'd like to know where you think it was ported from though, because Wolfenstein 3D was strictly a PC game upon release.

Preload is live on Steam 38GB and an EULA error you can ignore!

Plus the fact that in general games aren't ported anyways

Just playing "New Order" at the moment and loving it, will deffo buy "Old Blood"

Yea i messed that up i was thinking of another game. This is the one with that moronic ID 5 engine. You can run a console command but the game can speed up. 60fps is normal speed anything above the engine goes whack.

That is why i think it is complete poop. Own a monitor above 60hz? Say goodbye to Wolfenstein games.

Why? 120/144hz monitors can play 60fps??

But it has got nothing to do with "consoles" or "porting". synchronising how things work in game to the frame rate is nothing new.

Nope it judders, Proven by G-Sync. Fps has to match hz. Yes you can play it but it is far from ideal. The only 60fps game i played on my 120hz screen is Sonic Generations and i will not make that mistake again. Skyrm and these two it seems are going to have to be missed. But the market is saturated with good games at the minute anyways.

Have you even played it? I play gta v locked to 60fps with no judder and I played wolfenstein without judder. I don't know where you get "fps has to match hz" from. The reason for g sync is too smooth out frame drops.
