14 DAY TRIAL // A new game in id Software's Wolfenstein series, seems to be in the works over at Raven Software, following a comment from John Carmack earlier this year saying, "The company is pursuing Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake franchises with other partner developers", as Blue's News reports. Yahoo news sheds some more light on the possibility of a Wolfenstein for consoles.
As the company uses only next-gen technology to develop games for consoles such as the Xbox 360 or the PS3, a new Wolfenstein makes sense, as there are millions of fans out there who'd love a next-gen installment, especially for consoles.
As the site reports, Raven isn't working on a new Wolfenstein title, but more on a game "based on the 'Wolfenstein' series," with newer motion-capture technology and a local actress for the movie scenes, named Carrie Coon.
Carrie will wear a spandex suit with 63 reflective markers at strategic places on her body. Twenty-four infrared cameras in Raven's studios will track Coon's every move as she replicates movements that her character will perform in the game.
Coon is well known for being involved in Madison Repertory Theatre and American Players Theatre. She got Raven's attention after an audition process through the UW Theatre program:
"They had me kind of bust through doors with big guns and pretend I was an assassin being that didn't have a spine and club a body of something on the ground and sniff it," she said. "You know, it was one of the most bizarre audition experiences I've ever had in my life."
However, the developer doesn't want to give fans much hope yet, as the work to create the experience for its newest game is definitely not done yet, Yahoo news reports. It will be out sometime next year, while the name and other details that might influence gamers and news editors are being kept secret.
