    Okay let's play this little game of theirs.

    If a new Wolfenstein were to have a Nazi as a protagonist, I want him to be some random conscript, who's shown to be a highly propagandized individual. Like any modern day American. Who in the prologue, realizes the extent of inhumanity and cruelty he agreed to dish ouand believed to be right his whole life. Only to frag his commanding officer, and squad to slowly but surely build a decentralized resistance terrorist group over the course of the game as a way to "atone for his sins". Where other resistance members are implied to exist and help him, but he would mostly operate as a "lone wolf".

    Infiltration missions, and targeted assassinations would be a nice concept. I liked those parts of new Wolfenstein and wish the game centered more around them. Especially the space fairing mission prolouge, where you got to kill Hitler.

    I think this would be a pretty fun concept, with a bait and switch for rigthoid idiots.

    Oh and maybe sprinkle some gigawokeness by showing him in prologue as a "popular kid" who's fawned over by all the trad Bavarian big titty beer serving GFs, only to be a mega gay bottom who's horny for a Polish Jew who looks like Mariusz Pudzianowski.

      I like that concept, it could be a modern version of Saboteur where you do similar stuff in Nazi occupied France.

      He could be part of the unit that attacked OSS HQ towards the end of the war, and got hit with a debilitating dose of proto-MKULTRA lsd that shatters his entire epistemology

      Like the opening of the first game in the sanitarium, but instead of being brain damaged for 14 years he's just been catatonic seeing god for like 6 months

    Why do they assume videogames are gonna change? I'm pretty sure the conservatives want to ban most of what they think is fun.

    Person still using the word epic unironically in 2024: I have my finger on the pulse of pop culture. Freaking love bacon, amirite? fellow-kids

    Hear me out: Left 4 Dead, but Blazkowicz and his buddies have to overcome hoards of Nazis instead of zombies.

    Machinegames, the Wolfenstein folks, are Swedish, and currently about to release the indiana Jones game, where you also fight Nazis.
