Spoiler

From here:

Are these guys nuts or something? No fucking details are given what-so-ever, just a post hidden in a forum.

Publishers usually mandate developers keep quiet about their upcoming products because the publishers marketing team has a PLAN for when and if information gets disseminated to us filthy plebs.

If you want more from PB, convince 'em to set up a KS and self publish! Otherwise, this is what we should expect.

 

[ColCol]

My body s ready, for disappointment.

 

[Kosmonaut]

After Risen 2 I completely lost faith on them delivering a good game. They can go and fuck themselves. Such disappointment.

 

[Jaesun]

They need to do a complete Gothic re-boot (since they own the trademark now) and bypass using a shitty publisher and do a Kickstarter PC/Linux/Mac game. <3

 

[TripJack]

What's so nuts about this?

 

[Excidium]

No shit? PB wasn't shut down so of course they are developing a new game. That's what game developers do.

 

[Jaesun]

I assume it is Risen 3, and I assume it sold enough to warrant a 3rd game. And will be another console developed shit.

If the game they are making is "suddenly" PC exclusive we can move the thread to the appropriate forum.

 

[ohWOW]

Gothic reboot?
You mean, like, quest compass, hot chick to romance with, regenerating health and no stats at all, so you can use everything you find?
I'm so fucking not cool with that.


Fuck them. I hope after Risen 2 fail they were forced to make some happy horse farm or other bejeweled shit. No one wants their shit action rpgs after Risen 2.

 

[Mother Russia]

The Gothic series was really not the beez kneez you know. In fact, I would dare say it was popamole decline akshun rpg without char gen, real time, no party, etc etc.

So yah, these guys could fold for all I care.

 

[ohWOW]

I always thought it was just a cool action game.

 

[Zed]

if Risen 2 is any indication, it will probably be shit . whatever it is.

 

[undecaf]

if Risen 2 is any indication, it will probably be shit . whatever it is.

On the other hand, if Risen 2's general reception is of any indication, it might also end up being half decent.

Learning from mistakes and all that, if such is even possible anymore in this day and age.

 

[aVENGER]

I loved the first two Gothics but was thoroughly disappointed with the third game.

Risen 1 gave me hope again, as it was pretty much how I envisioned a proper Gothic sequel, save for the crappy endgame. However, they dropped the ball once again with Risen 2, so I'm not sure what to expect here.

 

[Metro]

God... please don't be Risen 3. These guys need to get away from Deep Silver and start a (relatively) small feeder project via Kickstarter like a modern/updated/polished/expanded version of Gothic 1 in Risen's engine. Not just graphics/voice acting but make the world a bit more interesting, more side quests, maybe tweak the story a tad so you can actually play as Old Camp to 'completion,' etc.

But... no... I'm sure it's Risen 3. Fuck.

While that sounds nice in theory they already had a fairly solid product in Risen and completely regressed from that. They even inexplicably fucked up the melee combat which makes zero sense since all they had to do was fucking copy it.

 

[ohWOW]

What about innovation and accessibility?

Yes. In theory. Still, I wouldn't give them the finger quite yet. Not before I see them making a habit of shitting their games out. PB is the sort of on/off developer of whom you never really know what comes out of it.

 

[Bitcher1]

Weren't the rights to Gothic supposed to revert to them, like, soon or something?
Who holds those rights now anyway?

 

[ohWOW]

FUCK THIS PEOPLE


they never fucking "lost" their gothic trademark.

"fuck this people"?
do you mean
"fuck this, people!" (perhaps while gesturing towards your crotch), "fuck these people (codexers)", "fuck these people (PB)", "fuck, these people (codexers)" (in a "I give up" way) or "fuck, these people (PB)" (in a "I give up" way)?

they did not have the rights to make a Gothic-named game until recently.
but they've always had the rights to make a Gothic-like game. but instead they made Risen 2.

 

[ohWOW]

What are you now, a grammar nazi?

 

[Rahdulan]

but they've always had the rights to make a Gothic-like game. but instead they made Risen 2.

I actually think that was kinda their intention in the first place with Risen 2 - to make a game that wasn't just "hey, this is supposed to be Gothic, but we don't have the rights so we can't call it that" like they did with Risen 1. Needless to say it didn't work out because Risen 2 was mediocre at best and that's if you ignore their newly embraced DLC practice that made me boycott the game on principle at first. Now that they have the rights to Gothic back again they should probably get back to it or make Risen 3 truly its own thing.

Hey, at least it had a neat CE.

 

[Captain Shrek]

This needs to be hammered into your brains people:


RISEN WAS MEDIOCRE AT BEST.

Speculations on who really has the rights for the Gothic Series have made their way around since 2007 until 2011, when, Mike Hoge, co-founder of Piranha Bytes, Gothic's creator, stated that soon (after the release of their current game - Risen 2: Dark Waters) the rights for the series will return to Piranha Bytes, but avoided mentioning if they will develop another game within the series.[4]
Later in 2011 it was confirmed by JoWooD Entertainment that they only had rights for the fourth game in the series and the expansion. As such, the rights will return to its former developer - Piranha Bytes.[5]
It is currently unknown if Piranha Bytes will develop another game within the Gothic series. Nordic Games already announced that they have plans to continue the story of the fourth game under the franchise name "ArcaniA" which will be continuing the events from Fall of Setarrif.

... and I stumbled upon this ...

Gothic 3: The Beginning is a role-playing mobile video game, produced by the German developer Handy-Games GmbH, and published by JoWooD Entertainment.
The action takes place 140 years before the events in the first Gothic game, on the island of Khorinis. Xardas (one of the main characters from the original PC Gothic series), an orphan, raised by farmers, is visited one night by the ghost of Buthomar. The ghost tells the young Xardas about an unknown threat and asks him to find "the other four Chosen Ones".
