[QUOTE="Admin, post: 68490, member: 1"] [IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2025/09/09/the-making-of-wolfenstein-noclip-00-35-15-1757410167936.png[/IMG] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/wolfenstein-2-the-new-colossus']Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus[/URL] could have shown players even more of Adolf Hitler than expected — until a fateful set of messages between developer MachineGames and publisher Bethesda ensured the führer's penis was kept out of view. Speaking to [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E189QG28rnE']Noclip[/URL], MachineGames co-founder and creative director Jens Matthies recalled working on the memorable The New Colossus scene where Hitler casts a propaganda film, and wanting to surprise players with "something they haven't seen before." The end result is an increasingly chaotic Hitler who does end up urinating in the scene — although, perhaps thankfully, players don't get to see everything. "We actually wanted to add another element — we wanted to actually show Hitler's penis as well, when he was peeing," MachineGames boss Jerk Gustafsson began. "But that was something that was a little bit too much, so we decided to skip that one. But that whole scene when you can see his weakness, I think, is very important, in combination with the ruthlessness and how vicious [the Nazis] are." "The concept around Hitler was that he was going to be extremely physical," Matthies added, picking up the story. "Like, the opposite of spiritual, basically. If you have a Nazi enemy – or, in this case... the ultimate Nazi – how do you make something unique out of it? How do you make it interesting and something they haven't seen before?" This resulted in the darkly comic scene where Hitler gets increasingly irate, eats, vomits and has to urinate. "I had this idea that... 'Oh, maybe we just see it,'" Matthies laughed. "Y'know?
