Wolfenstein: The New Order is aiming to be more than just a mindless shooter, according to Bethesda. Â Machine Games, the development team behind the return of Wolfenstein, is looking to put their own spin on the new game. Â In a recent interview with IGN, Bethesda’s Pete Hines explains why you should expect more from Wolfenstein: The New Order.
“When we looked at it, we wanted to  put our own take on it, so it still has the crazy, over-the-top action, but it has all these other elements to it now.”  Hines then goes on to compare Wolfenstein: The New Order to Naughty Dog’s Uncharted series, saying that it’s a game “for folks who say, ‘yeah, I want to shoot things but I want some other stuff too.’  It starts to feel a little like Uncharted, where there’s more going on.”
This would make a lot of sense considering some of the franchises that Machine Games have had in the past. Â Machine Games was founded by former Starbreeze Studios developers, who worked on titles like The Chronicles of Riddick and The Darkness, two titles that would fall into the non-“mindless shooter” category.
The New Order was recently announced to be a story-driven single-player experience, and will not feature a multiplayer component. Â Wolfenstein: The New Order is expected for release in the tail-end of 2013 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation, PC, and next-gen systems.
