Do you think MachineGames is known for watered down bland sequels?
I know they kind of went all in on the Wolfenstein universe, but I haven’t heard of most of those as being watered down and bland. Most of them were pretty well liked, I thought. I certainly like several of them. Maybe I’m out of the loop and they’re considered bland and watered down now.
I mean, the other thing they released this year was a bunch of levels for Doom II (Legacy of Rust) that was also pretty well received. You don’t have tons of modern developers dumping their time into Doom II levels. They had also previously put out levels for Quake and Quake 2.
I’m not worried about MachineGames (although I’ve never played a game by them). I’m worried about Disney stepping in and attempt to micromanage everything with their greedy corporate bullshit.

Wolfenstein 2 TNC is widely regarded as inferior to Wolfenstein TOS. Youngblood just made sure to bury that franchise for good.
Do you mean The New Order? I can’t think of a game with the abbreviation TOS. I liked both new Colossus and New Order regardless
Don’t worry, the content mill and increasingly short deadlines set by their corporate overlords will do that to them!

Youngblood is critically panned.
Youngblood was made by a B-team
