Copying assets from other games and forcing in game mechanics that don’t fit can ruin the game considerably if not done well. Now I’m not expecting a one-for-one recreation on a modern engine, but even if you’re gonna remake one of the classics, you have to understand what makes that enjoyable, if it’s fun to play, that sort of thing.
Oh hey, colored lighting! This would’ve been cool in like, 1997. But, at least there’s an easter egg that features Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which I guess might be worth the price of admission. now has gray hair and a combat vest compared to how he looks in the original. Blazkowicz is ripped straight from Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, where B.J. The enemies look like reskins of models from another game. Hell, I’m pretty sure most of the models are ripped wholesale from other games. There’s even a flashlight, which isn’t that necessary considering all the excess colored lighting everywhere. There’s an awkward stealth mechanic where enemies won’t attack if you’re in the dark, but I never got it to work right. Weapons have iron-sights which are slow to use and have little benefits compared to the standard hip-firing.
You can now jump, even bunnyhop around the landscape. There are several mechanics that Wolfram introduces that are baffling and don’t make sense in Wolfenstein 3D’s landscape.
Probably the most awkward-looking iron sights animation I’ve seen in years. What happens when you try to make it work in an actual 3D engine and try to shoehorn in awkward mechanics that just don’t fit? You get Wolfram. It’s operatic ballet but with guns and nazis. Wolfenstein 3D is a fairly simplistic shooter by modern standards, but it started laying the groundwork for what made their games tick: Exploring areas, defeating enemies quickly, and strafing around arenas in a quick pace. Hell, I even found some amount of enjoyment in the third-party Spear of Destiny mission packs that FormGen put out. Even for something like Wolfenstein 3D, which is nothing but 90 degree angled floors, there was some charm and enjoyment from them. But one game I had a fondness for was Wolfenstein 3D.įor a long time, I tended to look at the more community side of these games, looking towards the mods and user-created levels people made.
Id software’s amazing run of first-person shooters in the ‘90s are in some of my top games of all time: Doom, Quake, even Quake III Arena was pretty good in spite of Unreal Tournament’s more fun, absurd nature.
