Yes...Wut???
I have trouble understanding criticisms of TNO. Been playing FPS games for as long as they have existed and TNO is among the best. Massively underrated.
So you can preload it already if you buy from GMG?

No physical versions for North America.
Well that blows quite a bit, might just have to import. Are their any noticeable differences on the binding of European PS4 cases?

Why isn't pre loading up yet for Steam?
I took advantage of the discount. I loved TNO so I'm not exactly worried about the quality of this.

Really hoping for some awesome German songs, the first was one great for this particular thing.
I vividly remember his complaints about the game having a lot of stealth sections, just to find out that 99% of them are optional and you could just go on a rampage after you sliced a guard's throat and stole his gun.

Preloading through Steam now, 34.4GB.
I havent paid attention to the media much about the game. So I started to do that and I realise they are just reimagining the beginning of RTCW. You and agent one going into the castle. Then you go the crypt and fight german woman but will she have the tight leather commando squad? I hope the tight leather commando squad returns.

It's out in a three days and there's no player impressions or previews of any kind?
I'm sure it'll be fantastic, but that's a little suspect surely? Is there an embargo?

Oh shit, didn't realize this comes with a theme on PS4!
Doubt it'll dethrone the paper theme but the extra is appreciated

I think it was mentioned earlier that review copies weren't being sent out. So yeah I'm waiting for reviews now.
It really irritates me to the point I won't buy it now unless it's extremely good. They could have gotten me to buy with hype, but now I won't be buying it unless it's exceptional, because I won't be as hyped a day or two after it releases and reviews finally come out. It's my way of saying "No early reviews? Well screw you too!" I suppose.
Of course, I think there's zombies so that could nullify everything I just said. We'll see.

Any of you interested in writing up a paragraph on what TNO, why you should play it and why you should be excited about The Old Blood? Trying to gather OT materials.
If no one wants to write something updated, I'll probably just back some stuff from the first OT.

Just picked up a second hand copy of The New Order for ps4 and am really enjoying the first 3 hours so far.
Not the best looking game in the world, but The story seems pretty good so far. This game couldn't have been times better

After playing New Order I dont need a preview or a review to convince me to happily get my wallet out for Old Blood without hesitation. MOAR WOLF!! Super pumped for some of those RTCW feels.

wat. I don't think I compared the game to Haze. Haze was a bad game, Wolfenstein is mediocre overall (but has a great first half) imo.

So it's the 3rd where I live any idea when the ps4 preload starts?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Not really, unless there's surprise occult and mutants. Though I guess it has more in common with RTCW than New Order. RTCW was still set during historical WW2. Old Blood is set in 1946, and is more telling of the events that lead up to New Order's prologue, eg: Germany swinging the war around in their favour.
Probably around the time Sony updates the store. Bethesda can't flip the switch itself.
It's reportedly roughly half the length of Wolf14 proper (6-8 hours).

Thanks I was getting worried that I would have to dl all 39 gb on the 5th.
no swastikas or english voices for you. naizs are called the brotherhood. violence is uncensored.
Yeah, Austria and Switzerland get lumped in with Germany when it comes to Bethesda games, even though the runtime restriction only applies to Germany itself. What you could do is empty your installation folder (manually, don't actually uninstall the game), download a cracked version of the unmodified version and then install it to the aforementioned folder you emptied. Achievements may not work but at least you'd be able to play the game in its intended state.
Alternatively, and this is the better approach, cancel your pre-order and buy the game from Nuuvem on the cheap (South American VPN required to purchase but the game itself is region-free).
Digital is 5th, physical is 15th.

Pretty sure it's the 15th. That's certainly what my Amazon order said at the time
Thanks.
Steam says 5th May for me!

Being in Germany makes acquiring the real version of this game a hassle. The things I do for love.
Fuck. I don't really want to DL 30Go and be done with it in 3hours, but I also don't want to wait 10 days to play it -_-

Has it been discussed at all why this is New Gen only? Is it because they didnt want to spend the time making sure it actually worked on last gen? Or.... because they upped the graphics/textures (lol idtech5) or something else?
Because they want fun about New Order being Old gen but Old Blood being New Gen.

Where can I get a uncut physical release for the PS4? UK? Will not buy the german version and the PS4 has region free games anyway (at least that's what I think)
