Chris GrantGUEST
Okay, hit me.
Chris GrantGUEST
The hunting game, instead of a third-person camera, first-person camera, you invent the first-person shooter a solid six, seven years before Wolfenstein 3D, and that's it.
Chris GrantGUEST
End of game.
David PierceHOST
Philip, what do you think? Did we all just become billionaires?
Jesse ThorneHOST
really know anything about Duke Nukem.
Jesse ThorneHOST
Didn't it come after Wolfenstein 3D? Jesse, you're doing it.
Jesse ThorneHOST
You don't need to know.
Jesse ThorneHOST
Just say someone else's catchphrase.
Jessica HancockHOST
If you
Peter CoffeyHOST
played Wolfenstein 3D, it's like that, but Nazis have green cloaks and very bad swords and all the walls are covered in fake ivy because that's what happens on the ground.
Peter CoffeyHOST
Fake ivy.
Jessica HancockHOST
That looks very of its time.
JasonHOST
That's
CameronHOST
an honorable mention for me, but my number one of 92 is Wolfenstein 3D.
JasonHOST
That was my honorable mention.
CameronHOST
Widely regarded as the first most popular first-person shooter.
CameronHOST
So I had to give it to Wolfe.
JasonHOST
Yep.
JasonHOST
Played a ton of Wolfenstein 3D too.
JasonHOST
Yep.
Guillaume BayetHOST
So I've got a bunch of stuff that I've been playing, you know, a little of.
Guillaume BayetHOST
So I'm just going to go very quickly over the fact that for some reason I loaded up Wolfenstein 3D.
Guillaume BayetHOST
I guess I didn't really know what I wanted to play.
Guillaume BayetHOST
Like nothing that I had actually downloaded was really speaking to me.
Guillaume BayetHOST
But I turned on the Xbox and for some reason they claimed that Wolfenstein 3D the first one, the 1992 shooter was like new to, um, Why am I blinking? Battle...
Guillaume BayetHOST
Game Pass.
Guillaume BayetHOST
Jesus Christ.
James JonesHOST
Game Pass.
CoryHOST
Well, let's...
DallinPANELIST
First PC game was Wolfenstein 3D.
CoryHOST
Wolfenstein? Again, my first PC game was StarCraft.
CoryHOST
But not StarCraft, the demo for it.
RobHOST
He's, uh, he's definitely a pillar in the community.
RobHOST
And next, uh, Wolfenstein 3D is now fully playable on a stock Commodore 64, and it looks exactly as you would expect.
ZachHOST
I think it looks better than you would expect, actually.
ZachHOST
It is quite smooth.
speaker_1HOST
When it comes to video games that mock you for choosing easy mode, it's impossible not to discuss ID Software's legendary shooters.
speaker_1HOST
Both Wolfenstein 3D and Doom let players know exactly what's up from the moment they boot the game.
speaker_1HOST
Doom's lowest difficulty modes are titled I'm Too Young to Die, and hey, not too rough.
speaker_1HOST
Wolfenstein 3D took this even further with its lowest difficulties, Don't Hurt Me and Can I Play Daddy? The latter of which comes complete with a little picture of protagonist BJ Blazkowicz with a baby bonnet and pacifier.
speaker_1HOST
How adorable.
speaker_1HOST
The two highest difficulties in comparison are called Bring Em On and I Am Death Incarnate.
Kevin ImpellizeriHOST
There were other earlier iterations of this, but they are very important games in the history of the development of the FPS.
Kevin ImpellizeriHOST
And so the following year, in 1992, they scored their first hit shooter with Wolfenstein 3D.
Kevin ImpellizeriHOST
What are people's experiences with Wolfenstein 3D?
Matt ShoemakerGUEST
I mean, as I mentioned earlier, I think I said Castle Wolfenstein, which is not technically correct because that game came out in like 1981.
Matt ShoemakerGUEST
If I remember correctly, Wolfenstein 3D was a homage to that game.
Matt ShoemakerGUEST
And I think if it wasn't my first person shooter, I'm sorry, the first first person shooter I ever played, it's certainly the most memorable one I had.
Matt ShoemakerGUEST
I spent many more hours playing Wolfenstein than I did playing Doom.
Kevin ImpellizeriHOST
I've never played them for very long, though.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
Speaking of Game Pass, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy launched on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass yesterday, so check that out.
Lawrence SonntagHOST
Game Pass also picked up Wolfenstein 3D, which is a fun way to spend an hour or two.
Bruce GreeneHOST
And we're a little late on this one, but, uh, PlayStation Plus picked up some really good stuff this month.
Bruce GreeneHOST
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Helldivers 2, and Metro Exodus among others.
