Wolfenstein motion comic serves up action with a side of cheese

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 4th 2009 at 9:00PM }

GameTrailers has posted a new Wolfenstein motion comic. We're not quite sure how to feel about it really. Sure, it's nice to see B.J. Blazkowicz doing what he does best. We also like that Wolfenstein's famous chain gun-wielding Hitler once again gets what he deserves. Still, the whole thing is just so cheesy. If we didn't know better, we'd say that B.J. is trying to fill the one-liner chasm that has been left by the dearly departed Duke Nukem.

Don't take our word for it though, watch it after the break and see what you think.

cafecito @ Jul 4th 2009 9:25PM

I wanna play as the chaingun-weilding Hitler :D ... how cool would that be?

Blank-Mage @ Jul 5th 2009 3:05AM

I want to vote this up. But I can't. Not in good conscience. But I did anyway. Let's go to Hell TOGETHER!

cafecito @ Jul 6th 2009 3:52AM

Well this Hitler ain't exactly the historical one, right? So it isn't THAT wrong to want to kick some ass with him... right? right?

yokel @ Jul 4th 2009 9:27PM

awesome

Interesting. This animation seems to be a (very brief) retelling of pieces of the original Wolfenstein 3-D episodes 1 and 3. Appropriate, given that the classic game is on XBLA now.

Animation was pretty cool. The Noir style reminded me of the comic interludes from the first Max Payne. Alas, the one-liners were pretty groan-inducing. B.J. was always a bit more modest than Duke. (But then, who isn't...)

EDIT: This is your first warning. If you do it again, you're banned. No dice on ASCII art.

sony boy @ Jul 4th 2009 10:22PM

Is that two vaginas mixed together to make another dimension?

Wait, Slipknot!

My ears!!

MystileArmor @ Jul 4th 2009 11:05PM

What does Slipknot have to do with anything?

MystileArmor @ Jul 4th 2009 11:06PM

I mean, I know it's the logo, I mean why the fuck did he bring it up?

MaliceMajorE15 @ Jul 4th 2009 10:18PM

imperialist nazis and their swastika shaped jails!!!

relaxeder @ Jul 4th 2009 10:30PM

YOU ARE HUGE! THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS!

Blank-Mage @ Jul 5th 2009 3:08AM

I can't be the only one who sees where this is going.

Obie @ Jul 4th 2009 10:34PM

AGH! DER LIEBEN! ROBO HITLER!

Think Adrian @ Jul 5th 2009 6:38PM

Du hast mein Testickle gestohlen!

Kamizar @ Jul 4th 2009 11:00PM

It was neat. Dialog needs work, but it can be improved over time.

F1shBone @ Jul 4th 2009 11:22PM

The dude's voice is just horrible. The animation is cool even though the style is cliche.

jahd5000 @ Jul 5th 2009 12:49AM

yay finally a new post! thou not interested at all in it XD

Tetsuro @ Jul 5th 2009 3:07AM

My comment was edited because I thought this was a classified ad website where I can post bad links! BAM!

&rew @ Jul 5th 2009 5:33AM

Take this advice from a fellow idiot, you're an idiot.

Alex @ Jul 5th 2009 2:05PM

You are the biggest pile of joke I have ever seen. Whoever wrote that petition (probably you) is a tard and cannot either use a spellchecker or has any grasp of how punctuation is used. It is probably the most worthless petition ever invented, and also, upon looking at the current votes, only 7 people have wasted their time on it. I reckon that 6 of those votes are you from various computers at where you work.

PS, It's dinner time. Time to whip someone up.

jahd5000 @ Jul 5th 2009 4:21PM

thats gotta be a joke.
what about BUYED?? God...

Faar @ Jul 5th 2009 4:00AM

Poor Germans. Nobody's giving 'em a break, not even 60 years after the fact... Always ending up as the bad guys, the evil s.o.b:s you can remorselessly just kill without feeling bad about it yourself.

Glad I'm not German. I'm not sure I'd much enjoy playing a game where my fellow countrymen are portrayed as little more than crazed goons to be cut down by the player's machine gun. :P

...Which means I'm now free to enjoy cutting down a great many crazed German goons, lol!

&rew @ Jul 5th 2009 5:40AM

God I hope future historians take this video as fact.

Damian @ Jul 5th 2009 9:06AM

If all remnants of the nazis disappear over time, and they find this video on a disc somewhere, it would be hilarious.

Lov3 @ Jul 5th 2009 8:23AM

Umm, I thought this was awesome! Of course it's cheesy, thats the point, it perfectly captures the spirit of wolfenstein imo. When mutant chaingun hitler popped out I laughed like hell. Perfect advertisement for the game I think.

Asd @ Jul 5th 2009 9:09AM

Looks like Renaissance (that movie with Daniel Craig)

Danzaiver @ Jul 5th 2009 12:41PM

He killed the Führer!

Wolfenstein 3D was so awesome when I was like 4 years old. I played Wolfenstein because playing Doom scared me a little bit XD

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 5th 2009 1:49PM

Still my favorite. Just finished the xbla version. Wolf is still fun. I thought the short was cool, and not as cheesy as most things I play.

Tetsuro @ Jul 5th 2009 2:27PM

You americans really deserve your bad reputation... luckily I live in Europe. All the world (from east to ovest) is considering you as pile of shit and that it's true. I mean there are (few) great people in America, but the majority is ignorant fat people, beer drinkers and hot dogs eaters, resources suckers.

You are really pity people. Mine english could not be the best but it's far better than your italian if we think at it.

Pity people. :)

P.S.: Sorry for the few americans good people, I don't want to hurt you. But you know, your country is infested with these apes.

engler @ Jul 5th 2009 3:35PM

You can tell what the whole world thinks of Italy, too, by the games that Italians are cast in. There is no Wolfenstini with a pizza chef Hitlerio trying to take over the world... instead there is a plump little Italian plumber that eats mushrooms and fights turtles.

&rew @ Jul 5th 2009 3:45PM

And then he gives Bowser some cement shoes so he can sleep with the fishys.

ryanpaulmcgowan @ Jul 5th 2009 4:10PM

Yes, Europe. The enlightened people. Half of which wanted to kill every Jew on the planet a little over 60 years ago.

Totally.

Take the stick out of your ass and laugh at something for once in your life you prude.

Tetsuro @ Jul 5th 2009 4:14PM

@ &rew: Mafia it was not invented by italians... it was spread in Japan a lot early then in Italy (it's history) and it is in every angle of the planet. Fat people drinkers and hot dogs eaters, resources suckers and Jeep drivers are typical americans. It's not me.. just listen to YOUR press.

@ engler: The average italian eat 'pasta', drink water or wine and drive a small car and it's well mannered (we have those idiots too, but FAR LESS). It's not that bad.

P.S.: Sorry for the good people, I don't want to offend you.
And if you say that we elected Mussolini and Berlusconi you are right, we too do some bad things.
