* SpiritualLicensee: You ever want a game in the vein of [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]], specifically ''Film/InglouriousBasterds''? Here's the game for you.

** The in-universe recording label Neumond Recordings is rife with [[http://www.wolfenstein.com/en-us/site great tunes]].
*** "Mein Kleiner VW" in particular is an EarWorm, and scores one of the gameplay trailers.

* CompleteMonster: From the trailers and gameplay previews, a lot of the villains introduced so far are shaping up to be these.

-->'''BJ Blazkowicz''': "''The Nazis took the Moon. [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] the Moon.''"

* NightmareFuel: The whole idea of [[VillainWorld a world run by]] [[DayOfTheJackboot Nazis.]]
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlvfqfGTar4 E3 trailer]] shows [[AllohistoricalAllusion notable historical moments]] - such as TheVJDayKiss, AbbeyRoadCrossing, and [[TheSpaceRace the Moon landing]] - being ''literally stolen by the Nazis''. It's either [[NarmCharm so stupid it's funny]] or [[BadFuture deeply unsettling]].
** It also shows other scenes that show [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown how things went so wrong for the free world]] - [[BigApplesauce New York City]] [[NukeEm obliterated in atomic fire.]] [[{{WashingtonDC}} The Capitol Building]] [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver covered in Swastika banners]]. [[DefiantToTheEnd A last-ditch defense of]] [[GloriousMotherRussia Moscow]] [[LaResistance by Molotov-chucking civilians]] ''[[LiteralMetaphor literally]]'' [[CurbStompBattle being crushed by]] {{mecha mook}}s. [[FromBadToWorse And on and on...]] [[spoiler: [[HesBack Until]] [[{{Badass}} B.J. Blazkowicz]] [[OneManArmy gets his memory back.]]]]
** Yet another trailer shows the Nazis [[MonumentalDamage dynamiting]] [[RushmoreRefacement Mount Rushmore]].
** In one scene, B.J is actually forced to take a "purity" test by a couple of officers, although they claim that it is not a serious test and just a bit of fun and games. Of course, B.J is an American of Polish descent (and Jewish on his mother's side, according to WordOfGod) and therefore probably wouldn't live up the Nazi idea of the Master Race. There is a sense of dread throughout the sequence.
** The day that B.J. well and truly wakes up and gets his sanity back, the Nazis come in to close the place down after years and years of taking patients to apparently be experimented on. While they don't harm the staff (at first) they take care of the inmates by ''shooting them.'' The subsequent level as B.J. escapes is littered with the bodies of mental patients butchered in their rooms, and dead staff that may have tried to fight back. What makes it even worse is that it takes place during the day and the interior of the building is bright and warm and friendly, [[DaylightHorror making the bloodshed all the more nightmarish.]]

** '''BJ Blazkowicz''': "''The Nazis took the Moon. [[PrecisionFStrike Fuck]] the Moon.''"

* NarmCharm: As noted in previews for the game, the developers seem to be aiming for this, like when you visit a Museum and Blazkowicz finds out the Nazi's conquered the Moon.
