Castle Wolfenstein Returned To, Again?

Thanks to PlanetWolfenstein for its forum post revealing id Software's CEO Todd Hollenshead has indicated a sequel to Return To Castle Wolfenstein is being created, as his interview on G4TechTV show Pulse included his indication that the sequel is "currently in development by an 'outside studio'." According to the forum post: "There was no mention of the engine it would be on, but i'm guessing the Doom 3 one will be most likely", and rumormongers are pointing to the Splash Damage website, where the UK developer behind Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and contributions to Doom 3's multi-player mode is hiring, since it's "started production of a new full game based on the cutting-edge Doom 3 engine... in a continuation of our successful collaboration with id Software and Activision."

If the new game brings back Mecha-Hitler, they've got my $50 already.

I was never a big fan of the occult elements of Wolfenstein. Of course, I don't mean for moral reasons or anything. I just got more of a kick out of the traditional gunfights as opposed to fighting zombies and monsters.

I thought Return to Castle Wolfenstein was pretty fun. I liked the cool little sub machine gun you got. And I enjoyed sneaking around the Nazi town, etc.

For some reason, I was inordinately frightened by that game. It was just terrifying and I was never able to put my finger on why it bothered me so much more than most "scary" games.

eh, I'll probably get the new one.

I disagree. The Quake 3 engine looked terrible for anything but really fast paced action shooters, but it turned out to be an awesome, true to life and worked great on all hardware (unlike many engines which are very hit and miss).

I mean look at Call of Duty - that is based on Quake3, and it looks and plays fantastically well...
