Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot
Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot
Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot, développé par MachineGames et Arkane Studios et édité par Bethesda Softworks, est sorti le 25 juillet 2019. Ce jeu de tir et de simulation, propulsé par le moteur Id Tech 6, plonge le joueur dans la réalité virtuelle à Paris en 1980, où il incarne le meilleur hacker de la région chargé d'aider la Résistance française en prenant le contrôle de machines de guerre nazies pour semer la destruction dans la capitale. Disponible sur PC (Microsoft Windows), SteamVR, PlayStation VR et Oculus VR, avec un DRM Steam et un prix de 19,99 euros, le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 54 et un score OpenCritic de 49 pour une note agrégée de 50,88.
L'accueil critique s'est révélé mitigé. La presse a salué l'expérience immersive et agréable procurée par le jeu en VR, comme l'a relevé Video Chums, tout en soulignant avec The Games Machine qu'il s'agit d'une expérience très courte dépourvue de rejouabilité. Du côté des joueurs, certains regrettent un gameplay ennuyeux et des graphismes négligés, ou estiment que le titre ne parvient pas à retrouver le gameplay traditionnel de la franchise, tandis que d'autres qualifient le reste de l'expérience de peu satisfaisant malgré l'intérêt de la VR.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Although it's short and lacks replay value, Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot is such an immersive and enjoyable experience that it's worth purchasing simply to pilot its 3 unique and powerful robots. Let's just hope Bethesda expands this gem into something more worthwhile. »
« Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot has a lot of potential and a lot of very good ideas, but it’s a very short experience and doesn’t have any replay value. »
« The production values are impeccable and it runs perfectly on the PS4 Pro/PSVR — if there was more meat to it, I’d call Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot one of the most enjoyable VR cockpit games around, but with such a paucity of content, it doesn’t justify even a budget pricetag. »
« A brief, but memorable experience is at the core of Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot. Downright stunning environments serve as a backdrop to exploring the streets of 80s infused France. Between the solid performance level and the fluid controls, this is Bethesda’s best excursion into virtual reality. Given how well the title succeeds at pretty much everything it sets out to do, we hope that this is step one to a fully fledged Wolfenstein VR title down the road. »
« Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot works like gangbusters. It makes you feel the impact and brutality of every dog fight, effectively 'as if you're truly there'. It's brief though, and won't win any awards in the graphics department. »
« Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot has some good ideas which would be great if the developers explored them more. The storyline kept things moving along nicely and the sections in between the main levels were pleasant enough, especially for a first time VR player. Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot could’ve been so much more, yet it’s short lifespan and lack of additional content will make it a play once and forget experience. »
« Wolfenstein Cyberpilot's formulaic combat and missions underwhelm, but the premise and the novelty are intriguing, offering a fresh slant on a dark vision. »
« The four missions remain merely a small appetizer that has not convinced as an independent game and left me disappointed. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« I don't really like this game because of its boring gameplay and lazy graphics. I would've gave this game a 2/10 if it wasn't for the battle mechanics. Otherwise, it's garbage »
« Wolfenstein Cyberpilot was game that had immense potencial and creativity, but lacked to fully concentrate to the franchise's traditional gameplay. Following with the repetitive mechanics and "missions", the game tried to immerse the player to the realistic world of Wolfesteine, but failed to do such. In other words, the game tried to provide a new game style but failed. »
« Leaving this game a 10 to counterbalance the **** voting this game down. It's short and linear, but worth 15$ (no more) »
« Played through the "Panzerhund" and the drone, and so far I really like it, and the 3drudder is supported, even if this not announced anywhere!! Not sure why the critics and users are bashing it so much... Sure, it is linear and fairly short, so those arguments are a negative point, but the game also has a reduced price-tag (19 euros here in the European PS store). The feeling you get from piloting the robots is very nice and immersive, graphics are top notch. So much for the limitations of a PS4, this is definitely proof that next-gen graphics are possible on PSVR. Even the in-between busy-work missions, preparing or repairing the robots are a nice addition IMO. Feels a lot like being back in the "Nebuchadnezzar" (think Matrix) before going out on the next mission. So for me this is a recommendation and a must-buy for anybody with a 3drudder. Just be aware that is is linear and short, but if those two things do not bother you, go ahead and get the game! »
