Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Underrated and Unforgettable

In this video I talk about Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a prequel to the criminally underrated Wolfenstein: The New Order. Just like The New Order, The Old Blood was completely ignored and overshadowed, and it deserves way more attention because it's actually amazing!

It's actually crazy how history repeated itself. Wolfenstein 3d pretty much started the FPS genre, but Doom came after that and got all the credit. Now the New Order revived the FPS genre and brought it back to its roots, but then Doom (2016) comes out after it and gets all the credit. Does that mean that Id's new game will be a Quake one that has revolutionary graphics and multiplayer? I hope so ;)

Luckily that opening stealth section goes by muuuuch faster on replay because you know exactly what to do.

You know that 90% of the stealth in that intro section is optional right? You can instakill powered down super soldiers with the pipe, grab their guns, fire at the connecting wire of the others, and they'll die quite easily. So you can do a mostly guns blazing way very easily. Guess most people missed that way of doing it.

Old Blood was what Wolfenstein was supposed to be. I was my favorite of the three titles. Definitely a wink and a nod to Return to Castle Wolfenstein 👍

Fun fact, after you kill Jägers dog, if you turn around and follow Jäger through the room he retreats to, you can reacquire all of your weapons

Old Blood is soo good, I just wish it was a bit longer.

BTW you can also make the nightmare in the asylum and in the Castle

I must be the only person who's insane xD I actually really like the stealth mission across the prison block. I love the atmosphere, the fact that you have to hide from the super soldiers, and the entire area design itself is top notch imho, it's really enjoyable

I prefer the Old Blood as it's closer to the previous games with the whole occult angle, but with the gravy that is the new gameplay.

Just finished the game! It was very good and I'm glad I played it! On to the next one! Thanks for recommending it

21:34 this whole section made me feel so cool, fighting through enemies and slowly regaining my weapons. It just felt so awesome

[Its_varshan]

i have completed both the new order and the new collossus all because of you. Thank you for the amazing reccomendation and as always amazing vid!

[ihavehats]

If you've played Return to Castle Wolfenstein, you'll notice there's many parallels between the games, obviously they're not the same "timeline" per say, but they're very heavily related. It's my personal favorite of the universe, and it has a lot of community mods/levels too!

[linusdickens]

The old blood is my personal favorite as well. I think it doesn't get enough love so I really appreciate this video.

Great editing. Strong script. Hope you blow up.

New Order and Old Blood really were the last “Half Life” type games we got from the industry. Old Blood was the Opposing Force of the franchise, expansion on a small budget and under full price that refines the environments and design with crazier highs and lows. Wish triple AAA shooters had these sort of expansions still.

"But bj misses all his shots like he was playing on a controller" that final boss on I am death incarnate was rough. Hitting its mouth while it headbangs around all the time.

[CrmsnFdger]

Old Blood is basically a huge homage to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The comparisons are similar: I the beginning you get captured and you have to escape the Castle, but Agent One doesn't get so lucky. You arrive at the village to meet the resistance fighters. Later the supernatural kicks in with the, ,Nasties" being reanimated by the essence and Helga being interested into bringing back an ancient monstrosity to life, but instead killing her off not being able to control it. Finished off by a boss fight against an resurrected monster to prevent it being released to the world

I just got this game today along with new Colossus. Cant wait to get off work soon and play it all weekend. Already played new order and loved it so much.

Every time I hear “castle Wolfenstein” I expect lightning to sound like that one joke from Young Frankenstein

[Proxidist]

Please play this game, it’s honestly so good!

I can understand why Anya wanted B.J to be the father of her children
