It's amazing to see 11 minutes video in English explaining the game in detail. I think this will be awesome. I hope it has that atmosphere. I mean, Gothic series, and Risen 1 had it's... I don't know it's that atmosphere, especially in Gothic. Risen 2 didn't have it anymore. I don't know how you make it, but we need it! It's Huge
About time this company started showing any effort whatsoever to promote or discuss this game in English. Look, I know these guys are heavily German, but seriously...hire an English promotions representative. It's a huge pain in the ass to be an English fan and see lots of German footage and promotion but no translation of that material into English.
***** It's possible, but to be fair to Joe, a lot of what he's addressing in those reviews are genuine concerns that PB need to take seriously, even if he does go a bit over the top the get the views. He's not entirely wrong. Also, PB are so insulated in Germany, I sometimes wonder if they're even aware of those reviews. Also, they've been underpromoting in English since Gothic 1.
***** Both the Anno and the Settlers series have been owned by Ubisoft for many years now - and they can do a lot of marketing.. if they want to - as seen with their AAA titles like Assassins Creed, Far Cry and Watch_Dogs etc. I guess they maybe just see less potenial for certain games in certain markets and adjust their marketing budget accordingly. Besides that point though, both games are pretty well known outside of Germany, especially Anno (Settlers has been on a decline for quite a while)
Gass I'll agree with some of that. While PB isn't responsible for the budgets associated with advertising and promotion of the game, they are responsible for communications with their community in the development cycle. Something as simple as an English/German speaking employee in charge of a web blog that communicates with fans would have gone a long way over the development of most of their titles. With that, they could release the same promotional videos that appeared in German but with English subtitles so people in the UK/US/Canada would know what the heck is going on in those videos.
Gothic franchise is out of their hands. Gothic 4 (arcania) is what it's all about now, and quite frankly, I'll take Two Worlds over that any day. You might as well consider Risen 1 > Gothic 4, forget about Risen 2, consider Risen 3 > Gothic 5 :)
Ah, i remember when i found the first Gothic on kazaa back in the days. Loaded the game up at 10pm and quit played at 5 in the morning. So special it was. don't be angry with me because i pirated it, because after that i have bought every single piranha bytes game. And while not every game had the same quality, i still enjoyed each one of them. Finished Gothic 2 multiple times, Finished Risen 1 multiple times. I still have Risen 2 on my to do list though. It's strange, on the internet i see a lot of comments that Risen 2 is bad, but everyone i know irl that played the game says it's actually pretty good. Well, i'll find out anyway. Risen 3 is looking extremely good imo. particularly excited about the revamped combat. The new animations were really necessary. Hope this game sells well for Piranha Bytes!
The Graphics will be awesome, remember this is only a youtube video whose quality is poor even on HD. The animations on casting magic is awesome badass.(My first playtrough will be with Guardian on Full Magic and second with Pirate voodoo and last Demon hunter) I hope the story will be good and I can't wait for this game.(the armor from 6:55 is awesome) The Risen 3 Pirate Voodoo skill tree magic should have been in Risen 2 and not that crapy voodoo magic.
After several hours into Risen 3 I am not sure if I ll want as a next game Gothic 4 or Risen 4. Much better than Risen 2, the stupid pirates are gone after 30 mins of gameplay. Old Gothic feeling is back! Really amazing game, love it!
Very Cool, please give it a try. Not only because it seems too become very cool. It helps to keep this more classic RPG's alive... Like it and will buy it Day1..
both risens are two of my favorite games of all time. say what you want about piranhabytes, but they did some of the best environments/credible and engaging atmosphere i've ever experiencied in any game i ever played - and i have to say i've played pretty much everything coming out for pc in the last two decades. once they fix the technical flaws this series potential will rise so much it could potentially become one of the best rpgs around there - specially in this age of handholding with generic, boring and bland enviromnents/npcs/stories that no one cares about.
I dont care about graphics... if you gonna give me that feeling when i first got to wear paladin armour back in the day in Gothic 2, then im gonna be happy. Just dont casualize this game.
This sequel was made with the feedback from risen 1 and gothic series fans for the fans . This is supposed to keep everything from those games that made it fun . Gothic 1 was the same , paying someone to train you , exactly like gym trainers in real life XD .
Dammit, looks like they reused most of the Risen 2 animations. Hopefully they at least had the courtesy to polish some of them up. Overall I like what I'm seeing though. Distinctive design choices across all shown areas. A seemingly more complex combat system (though magic looks overpowered and muskets are probably as well) Great monster variety with awesome designs (Also I've noticed they finally decided to bring old enemies like the Dragon Snapper back). The hero even seems to change his outer appearance based on story progression(excluding armor). On the topic of armors: Those look gorgeous as well. And most importantly: NO TEXTURE POPPING even at higher draw distance (seems like they've learned their lesson in this regard). Also: I can only feel pity for people complaining about the graphics. Those are the same people who played skyrim and thought it looks beautiful (vanilla).
its set, but you get to choose his skill set so you can choose to be ranged, melee, magic user or all 3 and you can choose your armor type, and craft your own stuff, not sure if they will let you customize your appearance at creation tho, but you can craft your character a fair bit
Wszyscy oczywiście grafika to grafika tamto. Ma lepszą grafikę niż Skyrim. Nikt nie kupował Skyrima bo ma grafikę jak shootery... Gry RPG są zajebiste właśnie ze względu że są RPGami ;P The best third persond classic rpg game ever ^^
got a couple of gothic, risen games as well as arcania in my steam inventory, yet the combat from the videos of these series are a put off to me. i dont know why i can push myself to jump in.
Is there an option to go to the methodical combat of Risen 1? The combat in this looks very boring and very typical action game-ish (Which's been done like a billion times over and 10x better more likely).
Well maybe the game is good, but the mages faction major quest, named Reactor, is bugged. You cannot pass it and therefore join its faction. I gave 9 for this game in metacritic but I think i will change it to 0.
3 things: make the combat good and fine-tuned and fully interactive, let the player control every single action and be responsible for it, just like gothic 2. Do not include any QTE or non-stealth quick kill moves. Also add in some actual paladins with holy magic like healing or holy strength. Please make it a good game I am not satisfied with gothic 2 there should be more of that.
elder scrolls online is a glorified single player game with some multiplayer elements dressed in an mmos clothing, i love mmo's and this one was the first time ever i quit playing one after my first beta weekend
So NO bows, NO shields and NO 2h weapons.. also 3 armor sets per faction? flop incoming. "learning from past experiences" .. riiiight! it should be called Risen 2.5

This game is disappointment! Trailer show you Gothic style game but it is more Risen than Gothic. If you are Gothic fan as me, you will be really disappointed.

Exactly what I wanted!
Way to go Pyranhias!!!

PB Are not responsible for promoting games.
Its up to Publishers, so PB hasnt been underpromoting their publishers unfortunately have.

Thanks for the trailer! Will definitely be buying this game next month. Love the Risen-series... even Risen 2: Dark Waters. :)
NO OVER-ENCUMBRANCE? MY INNER JEW IS SPEAKING TO ME. DAY 1 BUY.
I will steal everything that isn't nailed down! GREEEEEEEEEEEEED!
Your backpack is a gate to a different dimension where you can store all the stuff in the world.
Don't repeat the mistakes of Risen 2. Don't fuck it up, I believe in you!
It had its moments, though it didn't hold my interest like Risen 1 did.
risen 1 was awesome!
Yeah this one looks like it might be a good combo of Risen and Gothic really hope it pays off.
This remind me of Gothic 2, one of the best games i have ever played
As someone who loves the first Risen and the Gothic games, this game is looking really good! Great video!
I expected to be disappointed, but now I'm cautiously optimistic about the game.
This is amazing. This is the next Gothic game which we always wanted. Go Go PB!
Don't fuck it up guys, every Gothic fan believe in you!
Can't wait for this.
PS
After Risen 3, Gothic 4 or else!!!! :D
Exactly :)
Gothic franchise is out of their hands. Gothic 4 (arcania) is what it's all about now, and quite frankly, I'll take Two Worlds over that any day. You might as well consider Risen 1 > Gothic 4, forget about Risen 2, consider Risen 3 > Gothic 5 :)
Gothic is back in their hands...
They got the licence back :P
Šimon Honal
oh wow, that's good news then :) Tanks for the info pal!
NP. I was so happy when I found out about Piranha getting the licence back :D
I just want something like Gothic 1 again
This looks really amazing :D Cant wait :P
Already pre-ordered. I know I wont be disappointed. :) Love you Piranha Byte :)
I think that this will be a great game.
Thanks for this video Piranha Bytes, now i'am very excited & happy that i preordered PC version of this game on steam.
Sounds like a great plan guys. Good luck!
Już się nie mogę doczekać !
Выглядит супер! Обязательно куплю!)
Looking awesome!
Looks really good. I might give it a try
It looks very good! :D I love the first Risen (Hate the second Risen) but this just looks awesome! Can't wait to play it!
Phew!! Glad they plan on never implementing "over encumbrance" BS, yesss. TY PB for keeping it classic, looks awesome!!
I can't wait to play this game, and magic combat looks soo damn good! Less than a month !
It says 08.12.2014 in the trailer but in video description (and Steam too) it says 15th of August... what to believe?
12 August is in North America and 15 august is in Europe.
Ah, thanks!
Duck spotted. Game will be good.
Looking good!
I haven't played previous games but this looks intreresting.
5:07 he just shoves a whole mace into that things chest apparently.

I hope the story will be good and I can't wait for this game.(the armor from 6:55 is awesome)
The Risen 3 Pirate Voodoo skill tree magic should have been in Risen 2 and not that crapy voodoo magic.
Now I'm interested!
I've beat both games & I have made the switch to Xbox One, hopefully it releases on that shortly after.
Impressive
After several hours into Risen 3 I am not sure if I ll want as a next game Gothic 4 or Risen 4. Much better than Risen 2, the stupid pirates are gone after 30 mins of gameplay. Old Gothic feeling is back! Really amazing game, love it!
GOTY 2014 as the best open-world, dark-fantasy cRPG
God damnit this looks cool as hell! Great job Pyranha definitely buying this. But make the facial animations a bit less boring will ya?
I hope this will be good.I want this to be good.Please make it good.
"Fuck yes!"
Hey , ich denk zwar nicht das ihr mir antwortet aber wieso wurde des vor bestellte Eisen 3 bei mir heut schon losgeschickt also 3 Tage vor release ?
can't wait :)
Can't wait! Also PB needs to make a new Gothic game :)
Game looks great
Looks Promising
Старая закалка!
Very Cool, please give it a try. Not only because it seems too become very cool. It helps to keep this more classic RPG's alive... Like it and will buy it Day1..

RPG games , probably saved.
...my body is ready.
This will own Dragon Age
So we have the voodoo pirates, guardians and demon hunters in RISEN 3
Oh, I only hope it's all true!!!
I still hate the skill training system where all of my gold are spent on skills.
Cuz you're a fucking casual moron.

Гы!На удивление хорошо и интересно выглядит.Небось ДипСильвер норм денег на игру подкинул
Fuck it.I am going to preorder it.
i should buy it
The crouch animation is still terrible, please fix it.
PLEASE
RETURN TO GOTHIC
I BEG YOU SO MUCH
PLEASE
Nice!
Looks good, but if it's another disappointment Piranha Bytes is dead.
I just want a new Gothic.
you can drink from a barrel again...count me in!
Can you make your own character or is it a set one?
Set one, nameless protag like the last two games.
its set, but you get to choose his skill set so you can choose to be ranged, melee, magic user or all 3 and you can choose your armor type, and craft your own stuff, not sure if they will let you customize your appearance at creation tho, but you can craft your character a fair bit
Wszyscy oczywiście grafika to grafika tamto. Ma lepszą grafikę niż Skyrim. Nikt nie kupował Skyrima bo ma grafikę jak shootery... Gry RPG są zajebiste właśnie ze względu że są RPGami ;P
The best third persond classic rpg game ever ^^
Кароч, Ризен 3 - это Ризен 2, только с магией. Не верится, что эти люди сделали когда-то Готику... Пичалька, кароч.
Fucking pumped
got a couple of gothic, risen games as well as arcania in my steam inventory, yet the combat from the videos of these series are a put off to me. i dont know why i can push myself to jump in.
Is there an option to go to the methodical combat of Risen 1? The combat in this looks very boring and very typical action game-ish (Which's been done like a billion times over and 10x better more likely).
the graphics are kinda bad...but im still eyeballing it
..are you fucking serious
they dont look all that good, ive seen better. But im still keeping an eye on it, i might pick it up
(facepalm)
You sir.. are.
Just. stupid.
Why is it always about the graphics? Are you stupid? The gameplay is the most important aspect of the game.
Exactly :)...
Also, those are ones of the best bumpmaps that I have ever seen.
It looks so rough. :(
Well maybe the game is good, but the mages faction major quest, named Reactor, is bugged. You cannot pass it and therefore join its faction. I gave 9 for this game in metacritic but I think i will change it to 0.

Please make it a good game I am not satisfied with gothic 2 there should be more of that.
Why does English voice of the nameless sound so badass :D German was better.
This should have been made into an MMO, I will stick to Elder Scrolls Online, which has all this and more.
elder scrolls online is a glorified single player game with some multiplayer elements dressed in an mmos clothing, i love mmo's and this one was the first time ever i quit playing one after my first beta weekend
You should focus more on R1 style. I don't want games like Risen 2 from PB
Holy Mother of all the recycled assets.
So NO bows, NO shields and NO 2h weapons.. also 3 armor sets per faction? flop incoming. "learning from past experiences" .. riiiight! it should be called Risen 2.5
This game is disappointment! Trailer show you Gothic style game but it is more Risen than Gothic. If you are Gothic fan as me, you will be really disappointed.
gg
Maybe this one will be similar to the masterpieces that were gothic 1&2. Risen 1&2 and gothic 3 were all utter unplayable shitstains.
Give it up PB, Gothic is dead. ;_;
