New Wolfenstein Game in 2008

Yahoo reports that Raven software is currently working on a new wolfenstein game, for which they are using a newer motion-capture technology and with a local actress. This actress' face will be used as face of her character “an elite force assassin”.

In October 2005 Kevin Cloud of ID Software confirmed Nerves involved in the multiplayer aspect for the next Wolfenstein game, since then there has been no news on the project. This latest report states that the game will not be released until 2008.

The company is currently working on a new game based on the "Wolfenstein" series, and with newer motion-capture technology, it is working with a local actress to be the character in its movie.

Actress Carrie Coon is put in a spandex suit that has 63 reflective markers at strategic places on her body. Twenty-four infrared cameras in Raven's studios track Coon's every move as she replicates movements that her character will perform in the game. Information will then go into a computer to create a virtual character based on her body, WISC-TV reported.

Coon, an actress who has been involved in Madison Repertory Theatre and American Players Theatre, said that she got involved with Raven after an audition process through the UW Theatre program.

"They had me kind of bust through doors with big guns and pretend I was an assassin being that didn't have a spine and club a body of something on the ground and sniff it," she said. "You know, it was one of the most bizarre audition experiences I've ever had in my life."

Coon's character will have a skin and costumes created in the computer on top of her virtual body.

"You recognize yourself in it a little bit, but then, there's this fantasy element that's so fascinating," she said.

Raven is even giving her character -- an elite force assassin -- Coon's face. A state-of-the-art face scanner takes a 3-D image that will be attached to her computer-captured body and will make her a living character in the game, WISC-TV reported.
