Risen 2 subtitle + artwork

[Marquess Cornwallis]

Very much looking forward to this. I was hoping for a game that's only loosely related to (rather than direct continuation of) Risen and does not stick as meticulously to the Gothic formula. It's still too early to tell, but this looks better than what I expected.

'Artworks'? They look like real in-game shots.

Me likey.

Is there any solid info on gameplay changes or release date?

Protip: No HUD=The game won't look anything near as good.


That said, I always enjoy a unique setting for an RPG, and Age of the Sail is fun. Let's hope that, unlike Arcanum, most of the game doesn't take place in a Tolkien rip-off despite the interesting face.

Looks interesting. Hopefully they've learned their lessons from the Risen 1, and the later part of the game won't be as boring.

 

[torpid]

Nice screens! Can't wait for this one.

Something else has risen...

in my pants.



I don't know how firearms will work out, but props already to PB for implementing them. Will the game be multiplatform? I fear for the size of the game world -- which was already pretty small in Risen -- if that's the case.

Also, VentilatorofDoom is German, right? I hope he gets his ass to work translating some of these articles instead of posting yet another lulzy DA2 or ME3 list from some headpalm-worthy site.

All I have to say is...

 

[Dr.Faust]

Get hype.

I'm getting it, bro. Are you?

'Cos I'm getting hype.

 

[Jaesun]

Fuck you bonescraper!!

Risen 2?



This just made my fucking day!

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Real rpg in a pirate setting? Fuck yeah!

 

[Black]

Risen 2 and Knights of the Chalice 2 together will have less fans than dragon turd 2 on Codex. The history will repeat itself.

 

[bonescraper]

Real rpg

Nah, just another overhyped action-adventure game set on a fucking tropical island. Oh, how AWESUM!!11!1!

 

[Angthoron]

Well, now I have two first-day purchase games on my list.

 

[torpid]

Risen 2 and Knights of the Chalice 2 together will have less fans than dragon turd 2 on Codex. The history will repeat itself.

Sad but probably true. I'm expecting a bunch of "DA2 isn't so bad" threads once it comes out, at least for a few weeks. Not to mention the Witcher 2, which will have half the nation of Poland backing it. And as long as ME3 is still being talked about in RPG News and General RPG Discussion, you never know what could happen...

This truth makes sad, but my tears make me stronger!

On a brighter note let's hope PB doesn't let us down. I'll be eagerly awaiting new details!

 

[Excommunicator]

Too many fapping Codexers. Needs to be balanced.

While the images look nice, and they are obviously based on in-game renders, they are also very clearly staged. In such a situation where one cannot be sure what is fake, one should remain skeptical about every visual detail.

Also, since there is absolutely nothing in these shots to tell of how the game will play, I can only surmise that it will play a lot worse than the game you have all invented in your minds.

I expect it will be no better than mediocre.


Good day.

It can't possibly play worse than the previous incarnations so it can only from here.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I hate pirate themed everything. Dammit PB

 

[abnaxus]

No more Titans?

 

[Hamster]

Hmm, Risen in a pirate setting with firearms?

 

[Reptilian Shapeshifter]

So long as it doesn't have any more scripted arcade-style boss fights, that alone will be a huge improvement. They took on dump on their own game with that one.

No way mate! If history repeats, Risen 2 will be better and Risen 3 will be fucked up. Anyways . . . .risen2 =

 

[Morkar Left]

Great news. I'm already on a pirate trip for a while now. I hope ships are properly involved, too.

tropico pirate cove

How is this game? Island management only?

True but as far as I'm concerned if the graphics are on the level of Risen (which unless they aim for simultaneous multiplatform release I'm sure it will be)it's good enough for me.Also graphics engine aside PB are just pretty damn good at designing a beautiful,believable world in their games.

Also, since there is absolutely nothing in these shots to tell of how the game will play, I can only surmise that it will play a lot worse than the game you have all invented in your minds.

Well aside from Gothic 3 I loved combat system in every PB game so I reckon chances are it's gonna be solid at the very least.I also expect the game will be relatively challenging,PB's usual target audience aren't really people who expect something awesome to happen when you press a button.

I expect it will be no better than mediocre.

And I expect it will be a great game,to each his own.

 

[FatCat]

FUUUUU tropical/island setting is so shitty fuuuu

 

[genci88]

I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT!

 

[Gakkone]

Looks quite interesting. I'd be happy with another game like Risen if they just improved the end game, but it'd be nice if they also changed the setting to a less generic one. A pirate theme like shown here could work well.
