New video has appeared from Gamestar.
For my opinion it's just awesome. It's more than I expected. Undegrounds are most interesting thing for me.
I am sorry, but the video is copyrighted by the german GameStar magazine. To prevent juristic problems for our site, we cannot tolerate violations of the copyright of other parties. Please refrain from posting this link again.
Of course, we cannot stop anyone from searching for this video on the pertinent sites. But we cannot spread the link. Buy the magazine or wait until the GameStar publishes the video itself.
Indeed the underground looks very nice. Reminds me of the sleepers temple
The ogre is much smaller than I imagine it. And those little gnomes are to aggressive. I was hoping to be able to talk to them.

It certainly isn't going to win any best graphics or best models awards, but the rest of the game looks great, especially the world. Also, did I just see focus blurring (5:03)? I love this kind of effects.

I saw it.I can say that I do not believe it will be a disaster anymore.The grafics are exactly the same as G3,no difference at all.The combat system still remained even now the same hack and slash,The inventories remind like WOW.But in any rate,it will not be a disaster. I think it will be a not bad game.But I still believe Arcania will be 10000 times better and that Risen will not be as good as the gothic series.

Nice video, I like the small nautilus/slug (or whatever it is), it's so cute :D .
@jimokalos, Arcania sounds like a joke with forward playing (static unlockable areas), loot bags, houses that can't be entered,... and it's far closer to Oblivion than any of the Gothic games.
Hopes ++
Looks good, no longer as cartoon as in previous videos. I just hope that you will make sure that there is no obvious way to abuse the fighting system, like stun lock in G3, or left-right spamming in G2. Changing form, levitating all sounds good, maybe levitating seem to simple of a solution but still good. Changing yourself into animal to walk trough some area without being attacked sounds good, this shape shifting skills really gives plenty of possibilities This would work in g1/g2? I did not tried it becouse there was nothing where I really wanted to go "now" but was unable to. For example changing yourself into sheep to get into group of them, and get that way to the some settlement, not saying that this will be in the game just that it can give many possibilities so it is great that you still work with it.
jimokalos anger with PB it's well known by now and the fact that he supports subjectively Arcania also... On topic - the gameplay looks just amazing, I like the interface very much, it preserves the simplicity, very likeable and immersive at the same time. The graphics are stunning, simple as that, just stunning, the characters and creatures as well. A big wow to the magic implementation -I never saw something as beautiful as that freeze spell:D
Also I like the fact that they have sticked with the big weapons and the dark atmosphere.
I have no doubt now that this will be an epic game.
Congrats to PB for that!
oh shit i was too late. One day i dont check the forum in the morning and the video is already gone (sad face). Hope i find it somewhere. Internet do your magic :D
.
Lol nice video but there are still stuff to be polished. And what about the fighting Ha,Yah,Cha (rofl) you gotta be kidding me :D
The main character will be the one in the video or not? I remember seein some coments about him and the posibility that he's just an ordinary figure and not the final hero

If you just want to loose some money, I can always give you my bank account number. ;)
Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the game is released.
§hehe now that's a good sign for PB, the game looks very good and promising, new info about the collector's edition please :D
I like how the lockpicking system works and the combat looks interesting . But is the sound that hero does when attacking really necessary ?
Looking forward to it.
Looks very promising and Gothic like. I especially like the trap mechanics in the dungeons, it adds complexity to the usual slaughter fest §troet

well after some time on the video, let's be honest, the guy slashed everything with the SAME DAMN MOVE! cant you guys add some different attack styles? slash from right slash from left spin move and slash right between. i think it would be hell lotta boring without any change.

SonnedreS is right. This is just awesome! I'm watching this video again and again and again I can't believe my eyes - this is more than I ever expected. Everything seems so natural and "just fitting" into the world. Maybe the body models are not so great, but everything else is perfect. The riddles, the magic, the combat system... This is going to be the best game since Gothic1!
Are you sure this is not Gothic? It looks just like Gothic!
Good job, PB!
I can't wait to play it!

I heard that in the later versions of the game they toned that sound down a bit, so it isn't annoying.

You got it all wrong !
There won't be houses that can't be entered ! That was just an example for an eventual DLC ;)
Regarding the loot bags - a final decision hasn't been taken yet - still if they will be in the game, they'll have a more "artistic design", and this feature can be deactivated
Also the forward playing - it won't be like in GTA or any other game.
It will be like in G2 when you couldn't enter the upper quarter of Khorinis if you weren't a citizen ;)
@topic: Risen looks really good ! :)

doberlec said in the german forum that this has already been adjusted. The hero is now less noisy and probably won't sound like a female tennis player on the court in the final version. ;)

Wow cool!
I'm loving this game lots:)
I love the light effects.
Yeah its not winning any Graphics Awards they look a bit jittery especially on the outline If you get what I mean.
Nice fire balls and Archery:p
Lmaoo...at the knome stealing from a dead body.
OMG a floating spell and turn into a snail:D
I wonder when 360 Gameplay will arrive since I'm getting it on 360.
October here I come.
Hope it lands 2nd October Worldwide then I'll might get it for my Birthday:)
No Spending money for me.
i'm looking forward to see the vid, and is it true that october as RD has be confirmed?
Also, Jim, i think you are just not being objective here. You are obviously angry at PB and that's why you will never admit risen could be better then arcania.
But atleast you're post was an improvement (well, kinda :P) to what you usually said in the past. :)

Well the fact that I am angry with PB means absolutely nothing.My opinion is that Arcania looks better to me.That's all.The reasons that I am angry with PB are secret and I do not want to discuss them officially.But anyway,I think Risen will just be a good game,nothing special.

Yes, as I told you yesterday: http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/showthread.php?t=623518 ;)
However, it's only the date for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I asked about the other countries because I know you're anxiously waiting for your own release date but so far, I got no answer.

Cool.
Hope its around the same time If not that date.
Then again it depends on the Publisher.
Do they release games in Austria with the English Language on the disc?:rolleyes:
fantastic news, tnx foobar!
Maybe it's just for german, but that means non-germans won't have to wait much longer either!
Im starting to not like the hero very much. I hope hes not the same in the finale version. It would be cool if he gets a beard or something after time :D
About the bow on the back, why does PB think that its more cool to be like this !? In g1,2 is nicer looking and more realistic
this one is more realistic, but the old Gothic hero is way cooler. :P
Im starting to not like the hero very much.
We in the german forum are way ahead of you and already done with not liking him. ;)

Does not look that good. OnKeLDead who played the game at the RPC betted that the hero is not the final one. His wager was to run around at the GamesCom with his underpants pulled over his head.
Looks like he needs to start looking for a clean one... :D

yeah, not the fact he's yelling is the issue but the fact he sounds like a 10 year old boy imagining himself a ninja or somethin'.

That's right. In general, I like Risen. One problem for me is a kind of cognitive dissonance - sometimes it looks serious and mature (people's looks, how they talk, and such), but as soon as Hero starts fighting, with all these strange movements and childish noises - it is not a mature game anymore, but some kind of kids' stuff. Really weird to see such inconsistency in the same game, and it will be very hard for me to become involved in a gameplay. Why didn't they keep G1/G2 system, where a Hero jumped back (realisticly), and not fluintly glided like in a cartoon?

:( Sad but true ....
Damn and I was so sure that they'll change the hero... So better you guys like the new hero, you'll accompany him for a long time, cause Risen seems to offer hours of fun :D
And I still have to buy the gamestar to watch the video ... need money *g*

its still uncertain that hero has any other combat style or not, just 4 move by 1 or more click to the same button. obvious.

What??? This is the final hero? But he looks so dull and casual, i thought this was just a placeholder... I have to say i'm really disspointed with the look of the new hero then :(
well i shouldn't really comment untill i actually play the game, but yeah, it seems like the could put more work into hero design. I like that guy on the first images (2d, not ingame), he kinda looked cool, but this one seems rether 'empty' or unintresting. But maybe that will change once we actually play the game.
Hm, now that reminds me.
Wouldn't it be cool if main hero could slowly grow a beard? So the more you progress, the more 'adult' or 'manly' your appearance becomes.

I don't think this would be a very good idea, since we have an established hero, it's better to have an established look for him. These kind of features are for games like GTA and sims.
What i don't like about the hero, is that he doesn't have any peculiar features that would make him instantly recognisable. As of now, it would be hard to distinguish him from a usual bandit that you encounter on the road, once in a while. He could at least have a scar, or something along those lines.
All the people in the game have cool faces and stuff but not out hero he is an exception :D
CONS
Ogres look small, hero has annoying voice, the inventory and loot windows are a bit out of place (the icons look great, though), the "choice panel" has a bit lame focus and scrollbar.
PROS
Everything else! :gratz
The dialog with the ogre is funny
- How much meat can you eat?
- A lot, once me even ate a whole cow alone, but humans be angry if me eat a cow.
:D
All in all the writing strongly reminds Gothic 2
- I would like to have a medal
- You look even dumber than I thought, but we will beat it out of you
:D

The hero must always look unique. I hope that's not a finished version of here (maybe they didn't want to show him).
Character models, not good.
Many new, quite unique (Gnomes) looks. I like skeletons (especially those armored), ashbeast is ok.
Keeping the aim yourself shoot system, and especially brining it to magic to is really great.
Melee combat system looks ok, but really hard to say without trying.
Sounds from hero when he hits very hilarious, but these are luckily removed/toned down.
The have to use levitation, telekinesis, transfrom into (meatbug) etc are very cool.
The gnome with more expensive clothing was really cool. Hope there will be more of those kinda leadergnomes, same with other creatures to. I also like the ogres.
Back to basic lockpicking, very good.
Music seems to be promising. Not orchestral, more background music type (which it should be), and fits the enviroment.
Atmosphere, here it seems you've managed to bring back the old gothic feeling.
It looks like it will be the G3 we all hoped for.
This video really increased my hopes for Risen. Just make sure it won't be bugged upon release. Better wait a month or more, than releasing a buggy game. Besides releasing closer to christmas isn't worst that could happen for sales either.

It seems for me that the hero doesn't have a face! This can't be his final look. Also, I read somewhere he was some kind of guard on that ship. But in this video he looks like a teenager... Maybe PB is still working at human models. Don't judge me wrong, but human models looks better in Gothic 2.
There I was enjoying my summer for a while and then this vid comes out.
Besides the mediocre female models and some not-so-good animations everything else rocks!
PS maybe the hero will grow a ponytail and beard :D

In comparison with Risen, and technologically wise, yes, Gothic II had better models. I dunno, but I can't get out my head the feeling that they look just silly, dull, not so inspired and even outdated, just take out all the modern shader, texture and light effects, and they won't look so much different from Gothic II. I still don't know why the PB guys prefer it in this way rather than make them proportional and likeable, at least ArcaniaA appears to be supperior in that department. Don't get me wrong, though the humans may look ugly to me, the non-humans and beasts are splendidly designed. Exotic, but cool.

Looks amazing
I like the swords. They look G1 style.
There is a two-handed one, I saw it in the new 55 screenies as well, it reminds me of my preferred one in G1 "Rage Steel" with the spikes on the base of the blade. And the armor looks really cool.

I saw the video.The game looks a lot like dungeon lords. For me it will be a mediocre game.A game of about 6 or 7 out of 10.The combat system is annoying like hell.The dungeon atmosphere is quite good though.The hero is quite stupid to me.He looks like the one from Prison break. :p The grafics are quite empty IMO.I mean neither realistic,neither have a lot of details.They look worse than G3 in that matter.Anyway,I will wait for the demo to be released then I will play it and have a full opinion about the game. BTW: Does anyone know when the demo is going to be released?

lol, even moderators like Werner and Korianous said noone is taking you seriously. And that's because you contradict yourself in almost every post, you never have any real or serious arguments. To try to talk in big "I am a cool gamer and a rpg maniac" words but that's all, you just try to give the impression.
That's more of an insult yes. You always keep repeating how consolish Risen is but when somebody asks you to explain you always say you're boring to explain. lol
Sorry for the off-topic, lads.
And this is where we all stop going into that matter any further and get back to talking about the GameStar video.
I'm a bit sad about the gnomes really. They looked so cool and interesting but the ones in the GameStar videos look like only some meat for the sword of the hero.
I really hope they are more than that in the actuall game, they're also a perfect marketing face for Risen. :D

I saw both videos and i'm very happy with what i see, the linked above one shows also climbing, first time i saw this, ... and so the game will have much more possibilites to become interesting than i.e. g3, ... also those traps shows potential for interesting riddels and such, ... like i already said:
http://www.grillsportverein.de/upload_neu/2009/02/2041_sabber_1.gif ... there are movers back in the engine, ... http://mitglied.lycos.de/mmsm/seng2/seng2222.gif, ... guys, ... MOVERS! (And Trigger-Zones :D ) !
(Sorry, i guess only modders can imagine what that really means, ... it's one of the most strogenst features to make the game much more interessting, it gives you so much possibilities, ... the traps shown in this video are good examples for this, the Hero steps into a defined area and this works also like a switch, which can move (or trigger) anything you can think of, .... examples for movers from the g2-modding are houses that can be decorated with buyable stuff like pictures, carpets, chairs, beds and so on, ... in another mod there appeared a ship, in my mod i moved a big stone as a door for that stone building, ... there was a mod which used movers to make birds flying away when you come too close.
Imho that is much more important than physically correct rain, ... i'm courious if Arcania will have these features as well.
... After i saw the latest videos of Arcania and Risen it seems that i must finally get used to that forum-design in here. :( (Imho WoG has the most eye-friendly design i ever saw on the net, not that this here is bad, ... just not so eye-friendly.)

I saw the second video, and I liked it more then the first one. I guess I can get used to weird gliding movements (though I still like G2 better, G2 is a masterpiece). I liked climbing. Levitation makes things too easy, but it is a cool spell. I hope they will have an option to disable hero's shouts in battle. As somebody already sid, he is not a tennis player, don't make it ridiculous. It is very annoying, esp. if to listen to them for seweral hours straight.
Jimbo, you already did, lol ;)

Yeah the climbing, I'm so glad they implemented this feature again, I really hated the fact in Gothic 3 that you could jump on some roof and shoot everybody without ever getting hit, I hope the NPCs in Risen will be smart enough or better will be able to reach me. :)

I don't like the shinny buttons that appear while lock-picking. BLEAH!
I dunno when he shoots with a bow it looks somehow wrong. He jist moves his arm it looks strange

Really sweet...I saw both videos and i think that Risen will be a masterpiece and much closer to Gothic 1/2...
I cant wait to play that game...Looks like a new expansion of Gothic 2 with a modern graphics engine...
If they will release an editor as well, i will buy the game twice...:p
Just some things i noticed...Its time for Piranhas to add into the team a good and experienced Animator...I am trying to pretend the blind here that i dont see those crappy animations...
10 years have passed and i see low quality animations of Gothic 2 into a game of the year 2009/2010.
The human models are really bad (the women look even worse).
Ugly models with lack of detail and plastic skin textures/shaders...
Everything else look sweet though...
Some animations are bad - the bow shooting one, but the levitation one is cool just cracks me up "D
The women models are a little better than the ones in g3. The male models i cant understand what exactly you dont like they look fine to me, they have somehow a pesonality and cool features.
I think g2 animations are the greatest ever btw :p

So satisfying to see climbing. Makes me a happy man :)
That dungeon looked very nice. Love the lighting.
The Depth of Field effect was kind of "cheap".
It looked like the turning animations of animals (boars at 3:08) now have more detail?
Still not liking the overall color design. At times it's way too saturated to my taste. Especially noticeable with bloom. One example is the dialogue scene which starts at 2:17.
What the hell happened with her legs?

I noticed it too.

BTW, in reality, as studies show, females tend to cross their legs (more protective posture), while males tend to spread them (hm, I wonder why...)
The Idle talking animation coude use some work , those leg posture looks ugly, and whats with weapons on the back when sheated, its ok but it the bow coude have been sheated like in G1/G2 , and maybe make a arrow quiver model for arrows/bolts ? , it just looks weird to see him drawing arrows from an invisible quiver on his back. Just noticed the climbing , ah that shoude be fun.

I will reply you in the peanuts thread in WOG.I will not spam this thread more like you.
You just did.
Gnomes are really Risen's mascot. It should be atleast 1 (short or long) questline where we talk to one of them. Like Ur-Shak (save one from an ogre pherhaps).
When reading from books which I've seen you have in Risen to, have like lore on Gnomes.
Make more different texts read from almanacs, "Concerning gnomes" could be one.
I'd like to see how graphics look like without depht of field and overglow effect (if they were on) as it seemed they were a bit to visible through alot of the movie.
I think risen should be more active on marketing using english language. The video had german voices, which we don't understand. Putting yourself out videos on youtube (especially youtube) in HD quality with an own channel makes it easier for people to look up the game. Most aren't interested enough to go to homepage, but many could decide to watch a trailer/gameplay movie, and if they like what they see, investigate further.

This is the least realistic volcano I've ever seen. I guess guys in PB have never seen a real one. I would suggest them just to skip a volcano part, and concentrate on tremors part (no need for a volcano to have tremors and rising temples).
PS: The image on the top of this page is good (notice clouds of ash), but I guess they changed their conception and decided to go for a bright environment.

She just unmounted a horse on which she sat for 10 hours?
Her chastity-belt may start to itch a bit.
And the rest of the models have the tendency to spread their legs, too.

What the hell happened with her legs?
Maybe she ride too long her wolf?:rolleyes:
The human models are the worst part of Risen.
I've just seen the second video - and I have only 3 words to say: I like it!
p.s. I dislike those bubbles when lockpicking, but... life goes on :)

its unbelievable that noone noticed how annoying and same motioned battle system is, he's always attacking with the same damn moves!

Yeah thats a problem. They say you have some moves but they never show them. And even a bigger problem why use the combos if you can kill them with the simple slashing. We cant know for shure until we play it i guess

you will learn more moves as you master your combat style. so I think we'll have a fair combat system.
damn I like this game!

combat seemed so much like gothic 3 to me. it'd be better to raise our voice right now rather than complaining about how system sucked big time again when the game comes out y'know. hero makes the combo and hits, if he makes the combo half (if its a 3 mouse button thing lets say, he clicks it twice), we see the half of it. simple as that, seemed no narrow to me. boring, i admit it.

I heard a rumor that on higher combat level you will be able to make left-right strikes. This is why I said it seems to be a fair combat system.
Too late to raise our voices. I did it in the beginning of this year with an open letter to PB - but they didn't implemented swimming and diving. I won't hope for those features not even in Risen 2 - it's a bad thing to make yourself hopes.
Is it only me, or somebody else is annoyed about the death scream of the hero? It is the same shitty scream as in G3, I was annoyed back then on the same thing..
"Wheaaaarghhhhh!!! Can you see I am dead? Mother F***** Bitc*** Sh***!!! I AM DEAAAAAD!!! Wheaaaarghhh!!!"
Try to die and you'll hear it's quite alright.

I ahte that the hero makes noise when he swings the sword. It sound like a goddamn tenis match.

No no but I'm sure you'd give a last yell like that too if were ripped apart by wind beasts. ;)
No, I would run like hell, before that happens!!
This isn't a death simulation I really hope that the death scream won't be as loud as in G3 cause it seriously pissed me off back then(along with the BSODs CTDs and Gurus).

That will be changed, at least that was said in one of the gamestar videos.

See the death scream as an additional punishment for let the hero die. ^^
(Curious if there will be harpies, ... when they screamed in g1 i think my neighbours were close to call the police)

If you tell me that they will change the head of the hero, too, you will make me a very happy panda:)

You may find it on YT like everything ;]
Sorry i hadn't the time to read everything, so if it has already be said please don't kill me :p
From the gamestar video it seems that a warrior character is quite good even with magic; i really hope i'm proving wrong and that the guy was only carring tons of spells for demonstration, cause i like to be a mage and i think it's not fair that even warrior could use magic so easily like in the video.
Ok every secret should be accessible to every kind of character, but warriors should have only limited scrolls in all the game IMO, the exact number needed to access secret area, but if they waste them they sould not be able to access every place (not related with the main quest of course).
As a mage i shouldn't be able to use strong weapons, and a worrior shouldn't be able to use fighting spells, except for very few and expensive scrolls:D
Let me know something please§wink

Amen, brother!
Alea is female, bro. She's a sis. ;)
And talking about magic, people, this is a beta version of Risen, that's why the playable characters has all these spells and fighting teqniques, and also all of that equipment. I bet in the final game we won't see such an easy usage of spells.

I'm quite sure he used a cheated char, that's kinda normal.
Anyway, he said that you'll have to find a focus stone for using the spells.
That could (imho) be conected to quests which are only given if you join the mages.

Hem, "alea" is a latin word, you should translate it first before trying to figure out my sex from it :p
Sorry to disappoint you (i know the picture is a bit feminine but it's a character from FF9)

Exactly, i hope that is the reason. I know they could try to make some knind of open class pgs, but the thing i always liked in Gothic was that the classes were completely divided (a part from some change of plot that made the thing even more interesting, like in G1 were when going from old camp to new camp after the mine collapses you can change class; and that was very good since the first time i played G1 i joined new camp, i wanted to be a mage but i misunderstoog Thor's dialoge and became a war :p)
classes strictly related to guilds and hardly mixable help replayability a lot: Gothic is the only game i was able to play it a second and even a third time (and i've played a lot of games:D)
Anyway thanks for the answers even if they are not "official" but still is good to have some confirmation§wink
Nooo I can't believe it I was tricked. Damn :D

Calm down mate,first of all,the game will be released in the end of september,the collector's edition is the only one which is going to be released in the beggining of October.Anyway,damn I had thought it would have been released in summer to have an earlier opinion about the game (and of course to be able to argue better with people if it is bad. :p ) but anyway,Autumn is pretty close. §finger2

Just for the record: jimokalos does not state any official facts here but gives his own guess.
Officially, only the release date for Germany, Austria and Switzerland is set and it is 2009-10-02 for both PC and Xbox. doberlec said that they aim for a simultaneous release everywhere but since there are still a few things to be taken care of, they only announce the german release. You know, don't make promises you may not be able to keep.

On Amazon.com they posted release date as Sept. 15. I hope it is when Dreamcatcher releases Risen. Then I'll have 2 vacation weeks to play!!! Otherwise Fall quarter starts at the beginning of October, and I won't have too much time...:(
Who is it, on the picture (in a white circle)? Looks like our beloved Nameless Hero from Gothic 3 ;)

You may want to wait to the release of the first patch at least before playing.
