New screens for the PC/360 title Risen. Where's the hype for this? *56k*

-

Risen is being developed by the team responsible for the Gothic franchise. It looks great. What say you?

Looks very generic. Kind of reminds me of Fable II.aaronmullan

Errr, it's a fantasy RPG.

Maybe they should put it in Killzone or Gears environments. The masses would flock to it.

from the photos it looks rather meh, is there any gameplay videos?

I am very much looking forward to this game.Looks great so far. Also curious about it now since it was banned in Australia for sex and drugs.

This game just got banned were I live.

AA if it's not a buggy mess (hopefully it isn't).

im optimistic. as long as the story is good, and the combat isnt terrible im gonna pick it up.

THe previews say it's very similiar atmosphere and gameplay wise to first Gothic, which is good news.

And there's no danger of it getting xboxed because the developer isn't even touching 360 dev kit, the console version is farmed out to separate company

I see nothing to hype from the screens shown.... it just looks okay... but nothing really extaordinary.

And whats with the GUI.... it looks so bland.... Diablo has a better GUI and its how many years old? 15 or more?

I realize the game isn't finished yet.... but dang.

It being a Action WRPG ruined any hype I could ever have for it.

Sauce? If true, that's friggin awesome, and the game becomes a must-buy for me. I was already thinking of buying it anyway, since, y'know, it's Piranha Bytes.

Looks like my kinda game. Yeah, it does look fairly generic, but generic doesn't mean bad.

Not really a game that I'll hype but one of those low-key titles I'll probably end up enjoying anyway.

I'd bet heavily that you've never played Fable II.... or at least not longer than 10 min.

It looks really average. Gothic was great, though.

Wow, I've never seen any table top RPG with real time combat, it's all been turn based.. You can hook me up with some if you know of any..

Anyways, you seem to be assuming that JRPG = Final Fantasy clone.. JRPGS like:

Etrain Odyssey 1/2

The Dark Spire:

Cl4ss Of Heroes, etc, etc.

Are more RPG then any action WRPG I've seen.

I'm not mistaking them as Diablo clones, I'm mistaking them as action games.. I just can't get the feel of "your playing an action game" out of my head when I play them, thus I dislike them. No clue what you call roleplaying, but I honestly think if it resembles tabel top RPGs it's a RPG, unless it's something like a tactical RPG.

Textures are horrid. Depending on the gameplay though it can be a rather fun game regardless.

Och..and there actualy are tabletop RPGs with real-time combat, like Riddle of Steel, plus there are also LARPS :)

Well, I don't only take combat, I generally try to do all the common game mechanics. Also, did you call Etrain Odyssey a Tactical RPG? It's a dungeon crawler :s.

But, let's just end it as "WRPGs and JRPGs aren't any less of a RPG then the other", no point in posting in this thread about this.

Could be fun, textures are bad, but then again that Darkest of days games has godawful textures and looks like a 2001 game but it's still fun because of the setting lol

Turn-based dungeon crawlers and tactical RPGs are very similiar, in both most of what you do is fight fight and fight. Both are similiar to tactical wargames in this matter as their combat isn't much different from a wargame. Plus there are tabletop wargames that are essentialy dungeon crawlers like Warhammer Quest

It looks OK, nothing special though.

looks very promising.

Meh ill wait for vid reviews.

Hopefully the combat is a little more streamlined in this one. If they can do that then this will be a week one purchase for me most likely. I'd say it gets AA.

I would say the first one is outside at night time, hard to say the game wasn't released yet.

Also, the fighting mechanics differ from dungeon crawlers, and in most dungeon crawlers you have to go in, fight, go out, buy items/heal, and repeat.. No Tactical RPG that I've played has that mechanic.

Looks like a wannabe Witcher/NWN2/Fable hybrid.

Also these are the developers that did Gothic so by your thinking all those games are clones of this developers style since Gothic game out before all of the ones you mentioned.

This is by Pirhrana bytes yes?

Spiritual successor to Gothic 3?

I'm interested, pity its *banned in my damn country*

Thanks flawed classification board.

Banned? the heck why? Whats so bad about the game? Which country is this anyway?

Back to topic : If its made by the old devs of Gothic 1/2, then thats just awesome! I hope it is as good as G1/G2 were, if not better.

Knowing Piranha Bytes though, their games are...usually a lil...buggy. But its usually overshadowed by the awesome storyline/world/gameplay.
