id Software’s Lead Renderer Programmer, Tiago Sousa, has shared some interesting tech details about Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. According to Sousa, Wolfenstein 2 sports almost 30X more drawcalls than DOOM, something that could explain why this game is a bit more demanding that it.
Going into more tech details, Wolfenstein 2 +30k drawcalls and up to +6 million triangles per frame. According to Sousa, that’s almost half a billion tris/2 million drawcalls per second.

In Wolfenstein 2, all “fog” is volumetric and unified. Moreover, every light, shadow, indirect lighting affects it, including water caustics / underwater light scattering.

Furthermore, water surface is “tessellated” on the fly without GPU tessellation. Caustics are dynamically generated and derived from water surface.

As Sousa noted, this was mainly achieved thanks to the Vulkan API. Sousa concluded that while there is still room for improvement, Wolfenstein 2 currently runs 2X faster than most other games while doing much more under its hood.
You know, it runs more than 2x faster than every 99% of games in market while doing much more 🙂 But still room for improvement yes.

Amazing, I noticed the water looked really nice and the fog + lighting. Actually you can tell it is way more detailed than nuDoom, the game just looks really impressive and runs really fast for me. I think the level design and layout is really impressive as well.
Very cool article, as a engine dude I love this stuff, Tiago Sousa is a God.
Godd*mnit game devs, why the f*ck are id/Machine Games and Croteam the only studios using Vulkan?! Ditch Direct X for good and adopt Windows/Mac/Linux as the standard.
For the same reason they were one of the few using opengl. It’s hard work and requires a lot of very good coders. Most think that the final consumer has little care for the engine the games run on….. and they’re really not that wrong, are they?
I think they’ll have vulkan in it next year, it’s on there todo list and then will start to remove all dx11 coding so it will be vulkan only then they can start pushing the game again
ACO looks far better and it’s performance is unbeatable by any games released on PC to date.
Just stop.
I’m loving Origins and it’s a real improvement over previous games performance-wise, but I’m not so sure it’s beating everything else out there right now in the performance department.
Shame it doesn’t look the part in some areas.
Here are some shots I managed to take on my travels throughout the game, all on ultra btw.

Also, for those effects, they were used for certain areas, but they didn’t really change all that much, since you’re playing through each level like a corridor shooter, so there is no day/night cycle and thus no need to make all the light effects shift about, only for them to remain in the same places they’ll always show up in.
Also Vulkan is still in it’s infancy, so next time, work on Vulkan, but don’t release another game using it only, unless you have it nailed to a T, otherwise, give us the option for DX 11 please.
Yikes! Thanks, megatextures.
Yeah.
The game does have some nice areas to look at, but the game still has plenty of areas with low res textures and shadows.
Exactly… The idTech engine definitely has it’s issues…
I ran into graphical glitches as well at some points.
Same. There were even some times when my character refused to move from some opening doors, simply because I had one of the bigger guns in hand, which never really happened in the last game.
I never had any issues until I already beat the game and went back to the killboard. The only area I’ve ever seen any issues is at Mesquite.
idTech has never had DirectX support and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The best you’d be likely to get is OpenGL 4.5.
I would hate to be a pathetic loser like this. Can’t enjoy the game. Has to go around looking for poor graphical areas. PC gamers, the saddest group of losers in gaming.
It’s a shame you waste your time looking to bully others then :^).
He must be so ‘happy’ with his precious console because he has the time to visit a PC-specific site to troll PC gamers!
Honestly id take the previous game subpar graphics over the horrible level design with better graphics.
Pretty sure your computer is bad and you’re bad, because I took over 100 screenshots and none of the textures were like that. The shadow textures on Uber look fine, too. I can’t link them because of the stupid Disqus policies on this site though.
Most definitely not my PC mate.
Nevermind this comment.
I’m pretty your computer and gpu are just awful because this is the worst looking screenshot I took over out of 100 and it’s mostly because of the DOF https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a194fc02c84067f4b46221fc94c617f528ecc3cbf076aadaa8cb442525059628.jpg
Mine?, I don’t think it would be tbh, not since I’m sporting a 1080ti and an i76700k, all while playing at 1440p.
Game looks great, can’t wait for some price cut… This is “single player only” game so I should be on sale after a month or two.
Its single player only. Most gamers will finish game in week or two. I hope it will be on sale -50% before end of this year
One of the best games of the decade. I am going through it slowly, but everything about it has been incredible so far. I am able to get a solid 30 FPS with a desktop GTX 980 in my gaming laptop, all settings maxed out, in 4k.
Its a linear shooter with awful level design and 3.5 hours of cutscenes and 2.5 hours of repettive gameplay.
One of the best games? I mean really? I could point alot of games that are great but the notion that this game was better than doom 2016 let alone new order is laughable.
” I am able to get a solid 30 FPS . I am able to get a solid 30 FPS with a desktop GTX 980 in my gaming laptop, all settings maxed out, in 4k.”
Disregard what i said, seems you are one of those “cinematic experiance” peasants.
Yes its a linear story driven game but the level design is not awful and having the option to use stealth to take out commanders by finding a stealth pathway brings in a good amount of variety. Yes, I like the graphics, writing and cinematics but I am judging the game as a whole, not solely based on its graphics. On a high difficulty mode it is an intense, visceral shooter experience, with a strong emotional core. I’m happy to express my opinion and share thoughts without sinking to the level of calling people “peasants”.
Good thing it’s not?
…lol
but it is boring. literally the whole game is whites are evil, jewish main character is a hero with support from le strong black negro woman. the story is literally jewish/sjw/liberal propaganda and the game play is very linear and scripted. graphics are nice but the mechanics are bland and boring. 5/10 game at best.
cry me a river
There’s no talking to them.
They have their mindset on hating this game because apparently having black females is terrible.
FACEPALM, yes thats the problem idiot, all the things we have been saying and thats what stuck with you, thats what you got out of all the things we say. Its like you trying to be a troll or something.
Yeah there is no point talking to sjws, you will turn everything into “hur dur racism and neonazis”
Isnt it nice that every problem with a game, too short, unoptimized, horrible level design, awful story, cringe dialogues, horrible animations, can all be turned “hur dur racism and neonazis and mysoginists”
Facepalm.
” have seen very few people complain about the length, ”
What does that tell you?
” The majority of gamers really seem to like it.”
user reviews dissagree.
“if you’d stop making such a big deal about their being black people…”
I never did, but its not like you pay attention to any of what we say.
Well Steam reviews are mostly people with problems and people saying the game sucks on content basis, but they’re wrong.
having black characters call people “white boy” and other stuff is the problem. 1. because b.j is a jew and not white, so its propoganda and trying to make it seem like jews are white and 2. heaven forbid if someone calls a black character black boy, blackie or a nigg or something. just like irl blacks can do and say what they want and whites are being forced/brainwashed into accepting it
“a jew” is not a race, for starters. They are a religion. People from Israel are, in fact, white. They are the same “white” ethnic group as almost everyone in Europe, and Egypt, and Lebanon – indo-Iranian white people.
B) It doesn’t matter at all. It’s a depiction of an alternate timeline 60’s something – THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT – black woman who until 1947 in this timeline only had to deal with NORMAL american racism. After that, LITERAL NAZIS who literally exterminated people of color.
C) The game DOES have racial epithets towards black people, just not a lot of them.
You are complete and utter trash and your opinion is trash. There’s something wrong with your brain. Just go back to your echo chamber where other offended lower class white morons like you can be safe.
Well tbf Grace as a character is annoying I don’t see why she’s so rude to everyone. And putting Anya in the front lines despite being heavily pregnant makes no sense.
But overall I couldn’t give any f*cks over what kind of political statement this game makes.
But Sigrun(Engel’s daughter) gives a grace one to Grace.Best moment of the game. 😀
Gameplay is generic and worse than the previous game, level design is god awful, graphics are not that great in comparison with perfomance and sound is average. Story is trash, 6 hour game a huge dissapoitment compared to the last 2 games, ill give it a 6-7/10.
Wrong, if they did it would sell more.
no its not sales are 50% down since the last game.
How can they measure net sale’s already? The game’s sales need to be taken in aggregate. The earlier game could have sold better in earlier days because of timing and other variables.
We can’t make claims about sales until at least 4 months after the game’s launch.
Go back to /pol/ you piece of trash. LITERALLY every thing you said is your extremely jacked up psychotic interpretation of a game that deeply offends you because there’s something psychologically wrong with you.
There is no liberal/anything propaganda in this game. There is no anti-white message in this game.
It’s a first person shooter, it is SUPPOSED to be linear and scripted.
Seriously shut the f*ck up.
You don’t even get to shoot any KKK dudes except in Killboard replay mode and only in one small level. Yea, how anti-white.
“It’s a first person shooter, it is SUPPOSED to be linear and scripted.”
I bet you enjoy your yearly call off doo-doo games from activison
what is /pol/? google says something about 4chan but ive never been there before,idk.
Well, i woudnt say its boring, the story is too much cringe to be borring. But the level design is definetly borring. Good thing the game is so short it doesnt have enough time to get borring.
Certainly one of the best engines of the gen along with the Fox Engine, I know MGS5 is mostly barren terrain but I still think it’s impressive that even the potato boxes can keep a mostly locked 60fps in an open world game, and then Konami comes and shuts it down, f¨ck them.
Too bad W2 is getting some pretty mixed user reviews, complains of game being too short and unfinished story. Another case of corrupt gaming journalism, considering all the high scores?
The game just doesn’t deserves more than what it’s getting on steam, it’s barely a 6/10.
There’s certainly a great disparity between critics’ review ratings and users’ review ratings for this game. That’s on each individual platform too.
True but there are evident lacks in level design and storyline isn’t impressing either, graphics are ok but they could’ve done better i guess. I mean it’s a point of view, but it has some objective flaws, which don’t make the game terrible, but meh.
Yep, I’ll likely buy it only when available at a bargain price.
Fair. Best value for it is probably 20 maybe 30€/$. I wouldn’t probably buy it at 30, but it’s kinda reasonable.
Indeed. I’ll gladly wait until it can be had for less than that. I enjoyed the previous two games in this modern Wolfenstein series but with this game reportedly being quite short plus it having been infested with SJW pandering then I’m certainly in no rush to own it.
What’s wrong with a game being short? There are huge numbers of gamers out there who don’t *want* many of their games to take up dozens of hours (usually by mindlessly grinding or gathering collectibles in an otherwise empty game world). As someone with kids and a good job, I care far, far more about my time being wasted than my money, so I absolutely love when a game comes out with 6-8 hours of real game with no cruft. And even better, games with no BS are more replayable! So, if I do want more time with the game, I can absolutely do that.
“I absolutely love when a game comes out with 6-8 hours of real game with no cruft. ”
For 60 bucks?
” And even better, games with no BS are more replayable! ”
Well i dont see whats so replayable out of this game, its a repettive corridor shooter with 3.5 hours of cutscenes.
On your point about the cost, fair enough. It sounds like the game would have been more palatable at $40 for those who bought it at launch. I tend to buy games once they’ve been out for a year or so, so launch price isn’t something I’m often concerned with. From my (future) perspective it will just be a $20 game with no grinding 🙂
The game is 6 hours with 3.5 hours of cutscenes, horrible level design, just a bunch of corridors, unoptimized, crashes, horrible dialogues and overall a waste of potential. Feels like a expansion than a sequel.
Fox engine is dated by todays standards but you gotta admit it looked amazing back when it was first shown and run amazing well.
Great engine, very mediocre game that no one is even buying (see Steamspy). If you haven’t played Doom yet, buy that instead. Wolfenstein II wants to be a Naughty Dog game with half the game being custscenes (that are bad and poorly written), corridor shooter maps and very little actual gameplay/value or replayability. That works for ND due to great writing and characters. A ND game with bad characters and writing doesn’t work. You just end up wanting to skip the cutscenes and you end up with a 5 hour game. Doom was more than twice as long for actual gameplay and the combat was stupidly better.
No they don’t. The game has a 6.0 rating on Steam FROM VERIFIED OWNERS and about the same rating on the PC and Xbox sections of Metacritic from user reviews. In before you slam user reviews on Metacritic when companies like Bioware and Ubisoft have been caught astroturfing the review section with fake reviews. In the case of Bioware they used employees. Ubisoft did it as recently as the new Assassin’s Creed game. The people who love Wolf 2 are game journalists pushing politics and tumblr loudmouths who don’t even like or play games due to silly marketing on the game. That marketing is a huge joke when Donald Trump’s brother is on the Board of Directors at Zenimax and they own Bethesda and Wolfenstein. #Resist #Clueless.
” The people who love Wolf 2 are game journalists pushing politics ”
That is blatantly clear all the big names in sjw gaming press got their review copies and put out the reviews first.
Lol more of these Wolfengate morons. Hilarious.
“Wolfenstein II wants to be a Naughty Dog game with half the game being custscenes”
Yes but naughty dog makes good levels, this game had horrible levels. just a bunch of corridors.
Once again proving you didn’t play the game at all.
Almost the entire game was open areas, not just hallways. And almost the entire game takes place INSIDE BUILDINGS.
Most people are not buying the game. I guess you buy games for cutscenes, we prefer gameplay. Doom looked and run better, also had bigger and better levels, more content, less cringe cutscenes, gave the fans what thay wanted and it was overall a oldschool fps not a 6 hour expansion with 3.5 hours of cutscenes…and a awful story with awful level design.
PC Gamers don’t buy games so while this idiot is wrong, his info is right. I don’t see this game ever even breaking 500k on PC. It’s not because of the dumb people with bad hardware either, there’s been a concerted campaign to make this game fail on PC. They made the Republicans cry, I guess.
Tiago Sousa is a legend. This man single handedly coded most of the renderong code for Cryengine 2 and Crysis 1.
I’m really glad to see that he’s working at idTech. That can only mean good things for future updates to W2 wrt to performance.
Yeah, I wish more games used the engine and Vulkan. Sadly I don’t see that happening unless Triple A gaming dies and the x86 consoles fold. EA has their own garbage engine that makes all their developers lives a living hell and MS is in bed with companies like EA with EA Access and they sponsor third party titles all the time. Those games will never have Vulkan API.
… Wow… just… wow. smh…
You can’t even? Who talks like this. Oh yeah. Millennials. You also called someone a noob in the posts I quickly scanned on that profile. Good luck in the 10th grade man.
Vulkan is garbage, stop it you hipster. It’s a cool API and functional alternative to DirectX, but it has constant problems with Steam overlay, does not work at all with any of Nvidia’s software like Share and will never support Ansel, and the quality and performance difference isn’t even relevant. You have to use OpenGL on any of these modern id games to ever maintain functionality.
I love how he in the comment section goes “also good on consoles…… minus lod AND SUCH” 😀 😀 That was funny 😀
So far, best shooter I have played since Perfect Dark of Nintendo 64.
Just have some small isuess with optimitation but in general it is the best single player 2017 game I have played.
So a 6 hour game with horrible level design and 3.5 hours of awful dialogues with copy pasted shooting mechanics from the last game is the “best shooter you ever played since perfect dark 64?”
Not half life, not doom, not doom 2016, not new order, not deus ex, not soldier of fortune, not unreal, not quake, not the first call of duty or medal of honor. None of those games.
You should get a job as a games journalist. It is obvious you dont know quality.
Why the fk would they change the shooting mechanics? Do you even read the utter drivel you type on this website?
The entire point of a first person shooter sequel is to NOT change the core gameplay.
No, buddy. It’s obvious YOU don’t know quality. Or game design. Or story. Or logic.
I ended up just watching the 6-hour playthrough on YouTube. Saved myself $60. My favorite part in the entire game is when Sigrun slapped that b##ch Grace.
I had it playing in the background while I worked and took several breaks.
Surprised you didn’t steal it like most PC gamers.
More like PC Gamer’s can review their own games as verified owners on Steam. Game has a 6/10 rating for a reason. Very overrated and PC Gamer’s aren’t buying into the laughable marketing, which is just to get better scores from “game journalists”. AKA people that barely passed journalism courses along with gender and women’s studies (pseudoscience), failed at real journalism and can barely play games that they don’t even like.
When ign gives it a high score you know whats up.
It has a 6/10 because kids like you still rocking cards from when ATI was a company, are trying to run modern games and you cry when things go wrong.
Not because it’s a bad game. It’s a fantastic follow up to The New Order with more content.
Have a 1070 in main rig. Will upgrade when the next gen Nvidia comes out. 1080Ti still can’t do 4k so it’s pointless. Nice try though. I have a Rx 480 in a MITX and in the basement I have a R9 290 from 2013 that I have given away twice and it’s been returned to me when people upgrade. Probably still good enough to crush this game, seeing Vulkan took a R9 290 from 100 avg fps to 150 in Doom and while AMD never bragged about it(they had to sell RX 480), it probably saw the biggest increase of any card ever due to a low level API. Hawaii crushes in Vulkan. Want me to send it to you so you have an upgrade? Just kidding. The only thing involving me and you, is me sending a report to the FTC for blatant astroturfing. Thanks for leaving that profile public. Very obvious. 16,000 dollar fine per instance. Enjoy.
Troll account confirmed.
Simple things seem overly difficult for you to understand.
Yes it must have been good to WATCH a cringefest that every time someone says something cringe you take a shot.
You know what would be better than this? I dont know, doom 2016, the upcoming dusk, games that are all about gameplay and have enough content. You know what also will be good to watch? A taletales game, or a naughty dog game.
So where is the “oldchool” fps that used to be wolfenstein? and why we applaud the fact they turned into into a cod campaign without the mp…and epic missions i would dare say.
Apparently ruining other classic games is ok, but ruining this and giving you half a game most of it cutscenes for 60 bucks is somehow good.
I dont even know anymore.
Shut up you pathetic alt-right toolbox. Write a better story. Literally verbatim give me one example of something “Cringey” and then follow it up with 25 more examples of cringe dialogue to prove that your asininely ridiculous sh*tpost has any merit, calling the dialogue conducive to a drinking game.
Seriously you kids are the AIDS of gaming. No, the G virus of gaming. It’s disgusting. What the F*CK are you talking about “where is the oldscool fps”?
Have you EVEN played Wolfenstein before? Do you know how lacking in action or any merit whatsoever Wolfenstein 3D is even compared to Doom 1?
Answer. You haven’t. Wolfenstein 3D is literally in The New Colossus, and you probably didn’t even bother to play it there, either, so you instead decided to cry and cry and hold your butt because it hurts so bad.
This game is 1000x more action than Wolf3D or RTCW ever were and it matches Doom 2016’s level of action. Half the game is not cutscenes, either.
Trump’s brother is on the Board of Directors at Zenimax, and they own Bethesda and Wolfenstein. Again nice try. Anyone can verify this by googling “about Zenimax”. He is listed on their official site. Robert S. Trump
President, Trump Management, Inc.
Lol i never seen such a toxic fanboy. Anyway Wolfenstein the New Order is better than this disgrace propaganda Antifolossus.
Except the game is f*cking awesome
Too much Volumetric fog,ugly textures on almost everything,less triangles on characters.
Really,Mr.Sousa,consoles too much?
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4502/26345382349_4111bcb579_b.jpg
Nope. She is still too female. Bioware “women” after their founders left have a masculine jaw, a tumblr haircut and look to be in their mid 40’s. They also all walk like men.
Really they try to make females less sexually attractive on purpose in their games since the 2 co-founders left. Pushing a politically correct agenda I guess.
Neah,1st picture is Anya from Wolfenstein New Order,2nd picture is “same” Anya from Wolfenstein II TNC. 😀
Wolfenstein II: Ugly textures and low polygons.
Yup they made characters ugly.
You do realize the left side literally isn’t in gam, right?
(((wikipedia))) lol
I posted 4 more sources but Disqus is garbage so the comment got moderated.
Simply don’t talk anymore, tool.
Follow the sources within wikipedia to verify.
“According to Sousa, Wolfenstein 2 sports almost 30X more drawcalls than
DOOM, something that could explain why this game is a bit more demanding.”
Alternatively,
‘According to reports, Wolfenstein 2 sports 9000X more pandering to SJWs than
Doom, something that could explain why this game is more popular with the media.’
“something that could explain why this game is more popular with the media.'”
and why ign gave it a high score, meanwhile consumers are dissapointed as shown with the reviews.
That’s exactly what they do, then they complain that it was too quick and easy.
“Wolfenstein 2 currently runs 2X faster than most other games while doing much more under its hood”
So you say they went for the doom 3 look. Impressive graphics but the levels are linear corridors. Whats the point of doing more, if you gonna make a game with linear corridors? Also if you take a look at doom 3 and far cry at the time, those were graphically impressive, W2 is not.
Such a waste of resources this game has been in so many ways.
“. This is reminiscent of Ghostbuster’s marketing. If you didn’t like the movie you were labeled a misogynist”
Pretty much. LIKE THIS 6 HOUR CRINGEFEST WITH AWFUL LEVELS AND AWFUL STORY WITH TOO MANY CUTSCENES AND A 60 BUCKS PRICE TAG, LIKE IT OR YOU ARE SOME KINDA MONSTER.
No thanks games journalism.
Not even remotely the same in any possibly misconstruable way whatsoever. Not. At. All.
Ghostbusters 2016 was an abomination. They took 4 completely boring and uninteresting characters whose literal only dalogue was condescension, fart jokes, pandering or racial sterotyping, cast them with 4 completely mediocre SNL actresses (no offense to Kistin I actually like her) in a story that rehashed and combined both GB1 and 2, doing nothing innovative or new, and not even doing it as well as the originals, not to mention it had a pointless comedic relief character who was the best actor in the movie, and offensively stupid cameos and references to the original movies.
Wolfenstein TNC appropriately addresses all the themes of Wolfenstein – the Nzis who were so fond of occultism and experimentation with machines and all types of cruelty, have won the war and they sealed their victory by forcing America’s surrender, then conquerd them. This is conquered America. Everyone not white is either killed, or probably going to be killed. BJ is back and they f’ed with his home soil, and they’re going to die.
To call this a cringefest proves indubitably that you have no business playing any Wolfenstein game, especially this one, and even less business having an uniformed opinion about it. Did you not play the previous game? You missed the guys with their bodies cut oen and displayed like bugs in a collection? You missed being forced to choose which of your friends gets their brain sucked out and turned into a robotic soldier slave that begs you in their own voice, through a machine with no vocal chords, to kill them?
You missed that somehow in 1960 a 30 foot tall mech with lasers has an energy shield somehow powered by zeppelins tied to electric generators? BJ getting shrapnel clear through the side of his head and spending 13 years in a coma just to conveniently wake up in time to save ONE persons life? Yea, you’re right, somehow none of that is cringe, yet when in the sequel they go full Wolfenstein and embrace how silly the franchise has ever been, THEN it’s “cringe”.
In every possible way except literally having Castle Wolfenstein in the game, again, for the 5th time, this game embraces and exudes Wolfenstein, while still doing something new and pushing the overall story of Wolfenstein forward.
And like all pathetic trolls who don’t have a valid opinion, you
can’t even be bothered to provide any actual proof of who your terrible
garbage excuse for an opinion should be taken seriously.
“But am halfway through the game”
You are not you are close to the end, you just havent reallized it yet. For example you get the stilts or whatever you choose about 65-70% through the game.
Where is the rest of the game.
Um I just finished the Venus mission and I already have around
9 hours clocked in?? Also you get the uberkommandant missions after that area iirc. Those add around 2 hours of gameplay.
Is it though? I’ve played through and done all the killboard on Ultra everything – not just Mein Leben but custom Ultra – and I’ve literally had 0 framedrops ever in the entire game.
Get a better GPU, then we’ll talk. The textures are perfectly fine.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/72a036ae900f0e8e9d0687d1396581c67d3091a39378f30c706dd8aa58212dd3.jpg
His game might have some texture loading issues. It doesn’t work 100 percent for everyone, mine crashes when it has GPUZ in the background for some reason.
The screenshot above is maxed out bro. Zoom in your guns and watch the ugly textures.
too bad antifa Jew commies riuned this series. it was just a good shooter in the past. the amount of artificially generated feel propaganda and emotional terrorism in this one is just laughable. another good title wasted
What, did they take out the #1 feature — shooting nazis?
I still need to play the first before this one.
That’s not the reason for low-res textures. It’s virtual texturing. Virtual texturing is very useful because it prevents tiling and offers really good looking “mega textures”.
These mega textures are one single material that covers a large amount of polygons. The downside is that closeups won’t look as good because of how absolutely massive these textures would have to be to look good both closeup and afar.
However, if you watch their latest GDC vid’s, they will be implementing detail textures that overlay the default megatextures to give the illusion of more detailed closeup materials whilst preserving the unified look from afar.
