News No Hitler in the new Wolfenstein

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/08/08/no-hitler-in-the-new-wolfenstein/1

id software has confirmed that the new Wolfenstein game will feature Nazis, but no Hitler.

 

Just because Hitler was a douche and is now dead they won't put him in a game?

Discrimination I say! There should at least be a 'ghost of Hitler' or something. Or.. Not >.>

However, upside, new Wolfenstein!

 

and how do you propose we kill a ghost liratheal?! where's your sense of game development boi?!

 

I see a crossover Ghostbusters V's Wolfenstein...

 

Call the Ghost busters, duh

Though, they're not out until some undetermined date in the future.. This could get tricky.

 

Proton pack? Duh

 

I'd scare it to death.

 

Is it just me or does that somehow imply that they dont want the story to end to leave room for sequels?

 

Seems pretty clear from the article.

Also, does Godwins Law still apply, when the article is about Hitler?

 

should have read the article instead of hitting reply in forum directly, *proceeds to slap self*

 

Doesn't really matter to me if Hitler is in it or not. I am just happy we are getting another Wolfenstein game. I had some good times with RTCW on the Xbox.

 

what id you not bother to read the article?

 

I agree, but it would be interesting to see how they use Hitler in the sequel. Maybe he'll be like G-Man from HL.

 

So maybe an Bin Laden? Or Maybe a Saddam?

 

Hitler or no Hitler Wolfenstein ROCKS!

 

I think there should be a 20 foot tall hitler firing nukes out of his arms and u-boats out of his a*se

 

Because Hitler was alive when they made the first game?

 

yeh, jesus. don't you know how old wolfenstein 3d was?

/sarcasm

 

Correct...it ran on a Zuse Z3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuse_Z3 and was developed during hitlers lifetime...they just had to wait 45 (how appropriate) years for the first VGA display to arrive...

 

I'm not sure what part of my post gave you the impression I was even remotely serious..

I'd have loved to have seen that. Hitler in the 1980's would have been hilarious. He'd probably be in leopard print and a black vest, maybe with a faded red bandanna. Maybe in a band as the drummer or the bassist. He might have pulled off vocalist if he worked on singing rather than shouting, since he was a pretty good orator.
