Thumbs up Wolfenstein 3D confirmed for XBLA

Our betting is that we could see it appear on XBLA over E3 (remember Doom hitting Xbox Live during Microsoft's pre-E3 conference in 2007?) or closer to the launch of Wolfenstein later this summer.
Get in there!!

This will be good, will it be single player only like the original pc version (I think was single player only).

This is the version with the Hitler endgame boss right?

Hope they do a Quake 1 or Doom 2 at some point as well.

Re: Wolfenstein 3D confirmed for XBLA

This is out now, gameplay is exactly what you'd expect, graphics are exactly like the original. But I have confess I'm a little disapointed with the front end. First of all the menus are don't work well in widescreen, they seem to have been developed for a 4:3 monitor and all appear over to the left, which is main even worse when you bring the menu up mid game and the gameplay window is in the middle then the menu appears on top but over to the left and you can still see a bit of the gameplay window underneath, it looks really wrong when you try to adjust the screen size mid game. Also you can't navigate the menus with the left stick, you have to use the D-Pad, and that just feels really weird as I never use the D-pad unless I have to.

Its a minor point I know, but it just feels really rushed to get it out for the week of E3 and I'm really suprised nobody spotted it.

Re: Wolfenstein 3D confirmed for XBLA

There is no multiplayer, but the PC original never did have.

I agree about the D-Pad menu navigation, it is a little irritating. Why don't they pick this up in development/testing? Surely we are not the only ones that dislike it.

I didn't really notice the graphical issue, it looks clear and central to me.

Its worth 400 points easily, a sensible price point for it.

Loved this game way back when and still love it now, also hoping for Quake 1 as well.

Re: Wolfenstein 3D confirmed for XBLA

I was well happy to see this on marketplace but found it gave me a murderous headache after a couple of minutes play, couldn't handle having no up and down looking either lol think this is another classic i'll have to just keep in the brain database
