Thankfully, this mod will be available as a free update for everyone who owns Return to Castle Wolfenstein on Valve’s venerable digital distribution platform.Īccording to the mod’s Steam store page, RealRTCW doesn’t stop at just adding widescreen support and high-resolution textures for certain objects. It’ll be coming to Steam and ModDB on Thursday, October 15th, 2020. Known as “RealRTCW,” it’s a community-developed overhaul mod for the game that adds such things as high-resolution textures, the missing widescreen support, and quite a lot more. That’s precisely where the mod I want to tell you about comes in. To name two examples, the game lacks support for widescreen displays, and its textures look absolutely ancient in comparison. As you might expect given the game’s age, many features that gamers have come to demand from modern games are missing from Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Many of id’s senior staff did oversee the game’s development and were subsequently credited as executive producers, though. Rather, I’m here today to tell you all that I can about a particularly interesting overhaul mod for 2001’s Return to Castle Wolfenstein.įor the uninitiated among our audience such as myself, it’s worth noting that Return to Castle Wolfenstein wasn’t actually developed or published by the aforementioned id Software. Nor am I here to lament the fact that I haven’t played any of these titles despite owning every single one of them on Steam. Beyond that, I wouldn’t truly become a PC gamer until my early teen years.Īt any rate, I’m not here today to attempt to reminisce about what older people tell me were “the good old days” of PC gaming.
In my defense, when the original Doom hit store shelves, I wouldn’t exist for another two years. I blame that on two factors, namely pure laziness and my relatively young age. That is to say, I’ve never played the original Doom, its sequel, or any of the early titles in the Wolfenstein franchise. I’ve never played any of the games released throughout the mid-1990s by the venerable development studio known as id Software. I have something of a confession to make, dear reader.
