To really appreciate the game, you'd have to play it back when it first came out. Wolf3d was the first DOS game I've played, on our new IBM compatible computer. Before it, I had been relentlessly pestering my parents to get me a SuperNES, but once we fired up Wolf and heard that music and effects on the Soundblaster 16 card, all notions of SuperNES went out the window. I was a computer gamer now. Good times.

9:32 one thing you gotta remember. back then no one had shooter skills. most kids played the first 3 or 4 levels of wolf and never got much further. they just kept replaying the first four levels and had a blast doing it. that goes for doom and duke too. so the shareware model really worked.

@GarrettChan 2 жыл бұрын

The multiplication 2/3 for SS and bosses is for distance, effectively shortening the distance between you and the enemy. For example, the tiers for normal enemies are 2, 4, higher than 4, and this means SS/bosses have the tiers of 3, 6 and higher than 6. In other word, when SS in 3 distance, it still deal the max damage by only /4. Technically the division is a digit moving which will remove the fractions I believe. So >>2 means /4 and it will remove the remainder of the number. For example, the RNG is 129 (10000001) in binary), moving 2 digits to the right will become 32 (100000) and the 1 on the rightmost digit was thrown away. Therefore I think the damage is rounded down. Note: I'm no pro of C, so it may be wrong as I recently read the code as well.

39:55 Every time you fire your gun in Wolf3D, the game checks if you aggro idle enemies by checking whether you share the same "room code" assigned to both your floor tiles. When you open a door, both connecting rooms are treated as the same code until it closes again. Ideally the level designer never uses the same code twice on the same map, but there is a hard limit, so if you make a mistake or run out of codes, you can create a scenario where the player fires his gun at one end of the map and alerts enemies way the hell and gone, and they'll start coming for you, even through locked doors. There are also "deaf" tiles you can place under an enemy, to create an ambush scenario - the deaf guard will only aggro from directly seeing the player. Or you have ambushes where the same room code is deliberately assigned to a series of rooms so that the doors all fly open at once as soon as you kill a bait guard.

@EternallyEve Жыл бұрын

I actually think having the Nazi Anthem as the intro is genius because from the moment you hit start it gets cut off by the track "Wondering About My Loved Ones", and both tracks to me kinda plays into the Nazi's basically being victorious at this time - to the point of capturing BJ as a prisoner. But as soon as you enter the game, it's all about getting your revenge on every last nazi scumbag in Castle Wolfenstein. You're given this dystopia (something the later Wolfenstein games would love to use as a theme) that YOU are going to singlehandedly fix. Badass.

24:02 note that this problem wasn’t really present in the original. The original game had a strafe key bound to mouse2 rather than strafeleft and straferight, meaning everything the keyboard could do, the mouse could do better (except pressing 3 once you get the chaingun). The effect of this is to create a 1-handed control scheme where both movement and turning are controlled by the mouse. Your character would accelerate and decelerate in response to the movement of the mouse rather than instantly changing velocity. In ECWolf, you actually can use A and D, so you’d have to be crazy to play mouse-only.

The Luger P08 has been later used in future Wolfenstein titles. * The Machine Gun (Slot 3) is clearly based on the MP40.

To shed light on the locked doors mixing up colors/keys: Im the map editor, there are two different locked doors: gold key and silver key. Both doors do use the same door texture, but the direction the map maker places the door, as in North-south or east-west determines if the light door texture is used or if the dark texture is used. Its done this way to show pseudo lighting effects, and all the different walls have two textures, a light and dark varient that behave this way. The outdoor texture behaves the same way, as in facing direction displays the day texture, and the opposite direction displays the night texture

Carmack didn't do more with less. He did less with less. It required less processing power because floors were blank, ceilings were blank and everything was on the same level and aligned to an axis. Ultima underworld had textured floors, textured ceilings, sloped walls, sloped floors, sloped ceilings, water, level-over-level polygonal geometry such as bridges. The correct lesson is to not overengineer things that don't need it; ultima underworld was an immersive sim; it needed those things to be compelling; shooting nazis needed framerate more than complexity.

As far as the enemies opening locked doors, that is not just an artifact of the engine you were playing on. I played this back in the DOS days and a few times had the SS and Officers open the locked door in E5M9 before I fought Greta. So, that's a thing that could definitely happen in the original version of the game also. Fun fact, I kept saved games at the beginning of every boss level so I could play them over and over again. E5 was by far the easiest boss map, I could kill Greta with just a pistol I grinded that level so much.

39:50 this is actually a Wolf 3D quirk. The thing is when you kill an enemy on an opened door, unlike Doom which closes and crushes the corpse, Wolf 3D will not have the doors closed. This applies for all doors, including doors that need a key to be opened. And apparently some enemies can open these locked doors if they're alerted from the other side. So I used this trick to sometimes bypass key searches, kill an enemy on the door and have it be open forever. Fun stuff.

Small suggestion: For text boxes, please move them further in from the edge of the screen so that they aren't covered up by the video title/controls when the video is paused in Fullscreen mode. Also am looking forward to your Spear of Destiny clip.

My father introduced me to Wolf 3D back when it came out on DOS. Which got me into Doom when it also came out on DOS. I've made it a point to purchase both on Steam and major consoles that I have (360, X One, etc). Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I subbed. Thank you, sir.

i think the holy symbols is supposed to be a censored reference to how apparently (idk if this was ever verified or not) Hitler was obsessed with the occult and would horde items with occult signifigance. It's also said he was in possession of "Lance of Longinus/Spear of Destiny" the lance that is alleged to have pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross during his crucifixion.

The 1st FPS I ever played. But, definitely not my favorite of the franchise. That's Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2001. Play that one and you should probably use the RealRTCW mod to do it.

@Aubrey Jarvis, I liked Old Blood too. New Order and The Old Blood are my 2nd favorite Wolfenstein games after RTCW. I preferred RTCW build up to the zombies and paranormal elements better. Lots of nice hints from notes and listening to enemies that builds up tension/anticipation. I really didn't care for the final boss in Old Blood either. Not saying the boss fights from RTCW are amazing, but I liked that boss fight in the bar that felt like a nice throwback to the 1st boss of Wolf3D.

Just a quick addendum, Ultima Underworld did not use raycasting, it used affine texture mapping. Wich is similar to what they used on PS1 back in the day. If you look up footage of the game you can see the parts of the world close to the camera warping like they do in most PS1 games.

Oh Yeah, I always Remember Episode 4, the only mission in Wolfenstein that I never finished, because how cryptic this Episode is, when I was a kid and I had no guides or hints on how to progress, and whenever I reach E4M5 I always softlock myself every time.. holy crap..

37:15 E4M10 is supposed to be a stealth level. That's why there aren't accessible weapons around. If you follow the intended path, you can complete the level without firing a single shot.

This game single-handedly caused me to stop wanting a console as a child. Before that I had nothing to show to my peers with the Sega Megadrive and it's games. With all due respect, a Golden Axe port and Commander Keen couldn't impress a Megadrive owner that much. Then Wolfenstein-3D came and proved that a crappy 1990 i386 laptop with a monochrome lcd is a potent 32-bit gaming machine.
