He's not been working on Gothic, but on some other secret project, for a couple of years now. New info coming soon.

1 post? Is this a new account, or did he never post on WoR before?
-
Maybe its fake... who knows
I hope this is true, our dream game is coming?

Judging by the custom title, it's legit. The WoP admins would have thoroughly deleted it if it happened by accident/hacking.

Excellent news! According to Don Esteban, he is indeed the real Mike Hoge. And looks like some other departed Piranhas are also back.
-
Good news ! Something new and fresh sounds good.

Quick translation of Mikes post:
Mattias Filler drew my attention to this thread. There seem to be some more of this kind, so here's a quick statement for all the curious ones:
1. I wasn't involved in the development of Risen 3
2. As a matter of fact, i did lock myself in for two years to work on a new concept, but not on Gothic. A prototype of this concept is getting implemented by a small core team since the beginning of this month.
3. Before you ask: I cannot give out any infos yet. First of all, we want to take our time with everything and second, this is not the right place for that
Please understand that i don't want to disclose anything yet about the new project. Those who are interested won't have to wait too long for some infos
Only speculations about that matter. Some are suggesting that M. Filler might be a part of the so-called core team as he still seems to be in contact with Mike. Others threw in Kai Rosenkranz's name..."ich hab grad nen thread gelöscht, in dem mangelnde meinungsfreiheit hier im forum angeprangert wird und behauptet wird, wir würden negative kritik unterdrücken."

Mike was not involved in Risen 3, but Risen 3 turned out better than Risen 2.
COINCIDENCE?
-
But by how much? Risen 2 was a flaw. Mike and Bjorn both worked on it, but were restricted by the need to produce a game that fit within the pirate setting that was still a sequel to Risen. I just think that Risen 2 was a bad idea with too many restrictions and pressures for it to turn out well with even the best of minds behind it. In terms of story and setting alone, Risen 3 wasn't a huge step up, it was just better in terms of general gameplay improvements, and having Risen 2 as a bitter lesson meant that they couldn't possibly produce such a failure again, without being complete idiots.

I don't understand from this statement, is Michael Hoge working with/for Piranhia Bytes?

He's not? So what is he doing on WoR? Did he just drop in to remind us that he's still relevant?
I'm interested in his project as much as anyone here, but if he's no longer with PB (again, news to me), he's no business on a Risen-themed website. No?
Are you sure he's not working with PB? He might have just been put on a side-team that worked on a new PB project as Risen 3 was being developed. That happens in companies. I think.
-
What if its some of the old Piranha's doing a non fantasy RPG?

On the German forum nobody knows if Mike Hoge is still working with PB.
If he is, than we have the conformation that PB will create a new game, so no Gothic 5 or Risen 4.
