Spector hits out at new Wolfenstein title

"I'm so tired of stuff like this..." says Deus Ex creator.

You can see the Jimi Hendrix-flavoured trailer that Spector is referring to below.

In a scathing Facebook post, outspoken game creator Warren Spector (Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and Deus Ex), has publicly criticised the newly announced Wolfenstein game.

Wolfenstein: The New Order was announced yesterday by Bethesda, and the reveal prompted the following response from Spector:

Did the world really need another Wolfenstein game? Did we need a generically dark, monochromatic, FPS, kill-the-Nazi-giant-robot game?

Uh. No. The world did not. I am so tired of stuff like this...

Oh, and could we all just agree we'll never use the generic gravelly-whisper trailer voice guy ever again?

And one more thing: Please stop using Jimi Hendrix to promote your adolescent male power fantasies.

Thank you. I'm done.
