Slow down guys ! this thread was posted on the Wolf: ET Forums. Some of you are going too deep into RTCW.
I am very disappointed in whoever gets theses recent “Wolfenstein” franchise game ideas.
If you look at the popularity caps of theses games, the MP version of RTCW and Wolf ET were the most popular for the franchise, with Wolf: ET still one of the top 20 most played FPS games today 10 years after release!
Now if I was a game designer or whoever gets these Ideas, i would think about making a new version of the popular Wolf: Enemy Territory using brand new graphics. Why? because it would bring back all those thousands of players that left the game because “it was getting old”. Also, the franchise would keep its fans by making a the “new” version very respectful of the original Wolf: ET.
now its been years, and a ton of idea went through Splash damage, with a ton of Great games, and good attempts into creating a franchise. Stop looking further Splash damage (or Bethesda or whoever’s boss) !
Your best bet would be Wolfenstein Ennemy Territory since you already have a fan base, a player base, and a ton of potential players ready to enjoy a good old’ wolfenstein game. Also, since Wolfenstein is already a known franchise and Wolf ET already had good reviews in the past, the game media might like it.
the main problem here is Money! most players will expect a Free to play. So if there is no money coming back from the investment it will be hard to convince Splash damage to remake Wolf:ET.
Unless they find some kind of idea such as Ads ingame (loading page or something) or maybe Steam, or even Gold (don’t quote me on that :D) . There are solutions is what i am saying.
This is just my opinion. I just do not understand how this idea did not cross the minds of anyone in the past 5 years at least.
I am sure there are at least 20 Threads about this, so lets not get into this crap now .
