Those scenes are none other than B.J.'s execution scene, and the moment players meet Hitler on Venus.īoth moments stood out to me for different reasons. Spoiler Warning: Spoilers for the end of Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus and other moments from the game are ahead.Īt the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last week, I sat down with MachineGames' Jens Matthies, creative director of Wolfenstein 2, to talk about my two favorite scenes in the sequel that highlighted the strengths of MachineGames' take on the Wolfenstein franchise. Turns out, nothing in my wildest dreams could prepare me for what I found in Wolfenstein 2, which kept much of the philosophical navelgazing I loved from its predecessor, but also channeled the sci-fi pulp of the 1970s and gonzo insanity of 1990s cinema. It was so different from anything I expected that coming into Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, I only had the vaguest ideas of what I might encounter. Wolfenstein: The New Order is an anomaly for most first-person shooters, turning a game about killing nazis into a philosophical meditation on good and evil.
