MachineGames' upcoming shooter will be single-player-only experience; Warren Spector says the world did not need a new Wolfenstein.
The upcoming from Bethesda and MachineGames will not include a multiplayer component, the studios have confirmed with GameSpot.
Instead, the current- and next-generation game will strictly be a single-player title, a responsibility MachineGames does not take lightly.
"It's such a huge part of video game legacy," creative director Jens Matthies told GameSpot in a new video preview. "If there's a video game museum, Wolfenstein is in the first room. It's the start of the wave that shaped the world of gaming."
"On a personal level, I played this when I was younger and it was mind-blowing," Matthies added. "I never then of course dreamed that I was going to be working with it. It's both an honor and a legacy."
Not all in the industry as are excited as Matthies is about the new Wolfenstein. Writing on , Deus Ex and Epic Mickey designer Warren Spector slammed the new game.
"Did the world really need another Wolfenstein game? Did we need a generically dark, monochromatic, FPS, kill-the-Nazi-giant-robot game? Uh. No. The world did not. I am so tired of stuff like this," he said. "Oh, and could we all just agree we'll never use the generic gravelly-whisper trailer voice guy ever again? And one more thing: Please stop using Jimi Hendrix to promote your adolescent male power fantasies."
