gothic 4 demo 360

must say after checking out some to the screenshots of this game it looked truly stunning, the demo on the other hand not so great depth of field wasnt so great, and there seemed to be a general blur to everything, hopefully will be sorted before game comes out as this is still a work in progress, otherwise loved the game

the dialogs are really simple like go for this get me this , the demo start with an option of grass disappear and i turn it off and then the grass start to pop up

the text is not for standard TVs and the combat was kind of fun the spells look really nice

Maybe you were looking at the PC screenshots.

It looks good. The problem is that I found that the combat is just like other open world RPGs.

Yeah it was great except for the fact that it looked atrocious, had horrible voice-acting, generic music, bad presentation, and a stupid story.

Is it possible the text will be updated so it looks alright on standard definition? Or am I out of luck.

The lip-sync may be designed for its native language and not english. Might be why it doesn't line up AT ALL.

The screenshots were from the PC version, which explains the difference in graphics.

Anyway, I'll have to play the demo sometime soon, but I've heard bad things about the combat - mainly that it offers absolutely no challenge, even against entire packs of goblins and wolves? That's actually really off-putting for me, since the earlier Gothic games always had a punishing learning curve, but a lot of the fun came from the challenge/struggle of actually reaching the higher levels.

Remember that it's just a demo people. I thought that the controls were very good and helped the game's combat flow very well. It had some pretty nasty creatures in the demo. My main issue is the stealth. It was terrible. It seemed like they just slapped stealth gameplay at the end of production or something just to say they had stealth gameplay.

You're correct, LongZhiZi...there is not stealth in the demo. When I tried to sneak, I received a message that stated I was not trained in this skill.

I liked it. It felt very much like Risen, a not so well received port to the 360. I dig the music/atomosphere, as I did in Risen. Hopefully it will end better than the uber bad Risen ending. The beginnnings of games like this can be a bit tedious with all the fetch quests that seem to go on and on and on.....but once you get past that the game will pick up a lot. I didn't even know about this game until today. Lets hope the game gets fixed up so it can fill the somewhat empty void of new, quality RPGs for xbox 360. This along with the new Fallout bodes well for rpg fans.

Thank you smerlus, and when I hit level 4, I bought the sneak skill. There wasn't any indicator on how well you were hidden, and the AI would stand in one direction, preventing you from sneaking up to them. Again, discluding the stealth gameplay I thought it was a good demo.

Well...its pretty dang good on PC...tried it on 360 too...i advise to stay the hell away from that
