I already saw it.

The cover is fine.
But I dont care much about the packaging,
I'll get right to the game anyway.

:D

Do you have any idea who's that fellow in the cover? Doesn't look like our greenhorn whippersnapper hero. :D

hell yeah!!! that's what I call a teaser! :)
there's an in-game footage with dialog which I haven't seen 'till now.

Its supposed to be the hero of Risen.
Looks like they might change the ingame model into something different.

The (german) game guide has appeared on Amazon.
Hooray !

SacredGamer

Cool.
If it comes to the UK or US.
I might have to purchase.

Doberlec confirmed in our german thread that it's the Hero shown on the cover.


Ich werd dazu übrigens auch mal einen kleinen Making-Of Artikel schreiben und auch mal die Cover zeigen die es nicht in die engere Auswahl geschafft haben und was wir uns dabei gedacht haben den Held in dieser Pose abzubilde. Stay tuned :D
He also says that he'll write a "making-of article" and he'll show to us some more covers (which weren't taken obviously).

Greetings
Pascal!

Loose the head, keep the paws. It will make a game highly mysterious.

Yea, and those gloves from before would fit the concept well.

This is good news. Things just keeps piling up right now, it would seem - a new teaser, new screens, more short stories, more info etc.. The problem is to get all of it out to the world (read: Mainstream audience). I have faith in DeepSilver by now, deep faith. I'm just curious on in what way they will spend the following months in terms of advertisement.

But no doubt Risen will receive a lot more publicity than any of the Gothic games. :D

P.S! Don't get me wrong, the cover look too north-american for my taste.

The hero in the cover doesn't look like some kind of a monkey boy, is this really the hero we will get in game?

It's just an artwork, if you look closely you see the similarities.

But from glancing it sure looks like he's got a mustasch. He's just dirty, though.

I'm holding my fingers crossed for the ape whippersnapper to be change into a more serious lookings hero.

Looks good, except for the hero's face. That could be better.

Oh, I'm sure the artist did the best he could to make something out of that ugly ape face.

Skazzy
04.08.2009, 22:05
Very nice cover, and the hero's face looks much better (to be read badass). Me likes it:D

Kostaz
04.08.2009, 22:07
It's nice but it reminds me something and I can't remember what.
Honestly I prefer "more serious" covers like the one in Witcher and Fallout 3 but hey I care more about what's in.

It doesn't look too bad but I'd rather they just used a simple dark RISEN logo. I think they added the bling bling to appeal to console users.

Oh they did so and so for consoles.
They spriced up the logo because they wanted to OK!

I don't see any difference between this new guy and the previous guy. For me they look just the same. Same stupid face. This new one only looks a bit more mature. But you can see in his eyes he is an evil person!

vivaxardas
05.08.2009, 01:18
Well, may be not evil, but dumb and vicious like a bull. I cannot imagine him being any kind of a mage. It does not look like he even knows how to read. How can I possible play as a mage with a snout like this? :(

Bruell
05.08.2009, 01:58
Don't know what to think about this guy, but if he looked any more like the nice "Uncle Dave" type, everyone here would be all over him for looking like a fag.. please excuse my language.

What I really want to know now is, what do the girls think???
Are there any females here?

Is the so called hero pictured here
A:
Handsome guy?
Or is he a sourpuss?
Or is he the apotheosis of a fucked up heavily drinking child and wife abusing s.o.b.? :rolleyes:

Edit: I've got it, the hero should have long hair (like Powanz) :-)

Kostaz
05.08.2009, 02:31
Are there any females here? There are a couple on WoG but I haven't seen them around here,Magpie left so that leaves (us) only the German girls.

About the hero's looks,did the Nameless Hero in the intro video of G1 look smart enough to be a mage?I think the new hero will be your average Joe.

Danbona
05.08.2009, 07:44
This is a joke -Right-. This bloke looks exactly like Gothic 3's hero. Please no, the other one is better, even if he looks like the prison break dude.

:D

People say s..t like that because it is true. Consoles are for action games "no time to think i want to get entertained kinda stuff" thus the shiny armored hero with lightning bolts in the background. PC gaming is more brainy "more thinking less action" thus simpler covers are generally used for PC exclusive games to emphasize discretely theme of the game (mistery, romance, horror etc.). Please let's not take this in a PC vs consoles off-topic, its waste of time :D

not good as a mage?! who do you think casted those lightning bolt spells in the background? :p

I agree with you there. Lucky for mage players he has the "derriere" of a mage so there shouldn't be much of a problem

Me! §wink And I must say that I like the cover enough. By 'enough' I mean that I like a lot the armour design and that stuff but _not_ the guy's face and his badass look. Besides this cover is a bit too similar to the Divinity2 one...

Boring look.

This, among your early artworks would be a much better hero.

http://www.worldofrisen.de/images/gallery/6/b345e45dacc44b669e13a5ca2de4aef1.jpg

Your current her's biggest problem, is he have so few characteristics. He needs hair, and something to make his look unique, which you can remember him by.
The withcer is a very good example. Many characteristics (with story to it), which made him unique. Scar, hair etc.

Some people prefer another cover (based on artworks).
But what about changing colors?
Compare this (http://risen.deepsilver.com/blog/media/images/Packshots/risen-PC-INT-packshot_2D.jpg) and this (by SirThief) (http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/0908/55/a5947320e974.jpg).

The sword is completely idiotic!!! It has a very long handle separated by a second guard (or something like this), and the blade starts at this guy's knees!!! Either blade is shorter then the handle (can't even imagine this retarded sword), or it is half in the earth (for what freaking reason???)
I mean WTF? Couldn't they use some normal sword???

Dykunas

The green is even worse, because it looks as if the box was exposed to natures elements for 10 years :). Imo, the fan artworks look much better.

May be US version will have a different cover. This cover was added today, before there was no image at all. Or maybe a fan uploaded it, I don't know. But I like it more.

I find this cover with description in Deep Silver News (http://www.deepsilver.co.uk/header/news/newsdetails/article/deep-silver-publishes-risen-pack-shot-1.html).

http://www.deepsilver.co.uk/typo3temp/pics/5011e48e88.jpg The design shows the nameless hero in front of a storm-swept island. A flash of lightning illuminates the wild scenario, preserving the moment.

Do you see nameless hero on this cover? :)

Amazon also must change covers.

AC/DC used that for the Back in Black album, Metallica used that for the Black Album, so it would have worked out nicely.

I still think the so called hero on the cover shown at Amazon sucks big time.
That one would totally put me off, in fact, I'd be embarrassed to show up with this box at the registers especially if there is a line of customers waiting to pay already.

So I will have to order it online.

I totally Dig the one that Robin Hood pointed out.. that one with a Risen Logo across the lower black background would absolutely rock!

When you pay for the game, you pay for the cover as well. People are pretty complicate nowadays, they don't want just to buy some butter, they want also some colorful nice painted packing for it and they're willing to spend money for it. When you pay for something you expect to be satisfied from all points of view.

I really do hope DS sticks with the basic black theme because the artwork on the other does not look too professional, granted the artist had a dud of a hero to base his/her scene off but it is still quite poor.
He looks boring and the sword makes little sense, it gives me this childish vibe for some reason though at this moment i can't really tell you why.

With all due respect the American audience (for example) will not go for it, there's nothing that says "pick me up" and that really is the mentality so many of them have, much like Australia. If you're not well known enough you need something bold, the plain black cover is just that :)

I worked at EB 2 years ago and there were certainly a large chunk of customers that had impulse buys simply because the cover looked good, I remember we went through a stage where metalic lettering and pop-up fonts were all the craze it was like the shelves were splashed with glitter ;)

There certainly was a reason for it, people like pretty things.
