    There were no shields in Risen 2. Did not miss them at all. You can block anyway with your sword.

    It's 4 months, and Deep Silver only have so much money to spend on marketing. I wouldn't associate that with game quality either way, really.

    Not much of a PB fanboy these days but I can certainly see where their "back to the roots" thing came from. These screen give more of a Gothic vibe than a Risen vibe. Maybe even more Gothic than G3.

    Everything looks wonderfully crummy and the protagonist is clearly the sort of neckbeard this game is probably aimed for too (even though he seems to be able to swim).

    Yes, swimming is in. And you drown in deep water.

    Dunno, maybe it's nostalgia goggles, but some of the screens look worse than Gothic 3...

    Not only neckbeard, but also balding. All he's missing is a monocle.

    You can see it's in beta because the protagonist's model is still missing his chin.

    Screens look alright, nothing special. Hopefully the gameplay is there.

    It's on par with Risen 2. I doubt anyone was expecting nextgen stuff from PB.

    Verticality? The last PB game with any verticality was 4 games ago and was called Gothic 2. Any RPG has yet to fill that gap.

    Funny how the game looks worse than R1 or R2 despite using the same engine :troll:

    More seriously, I liked how R1/2 distinguished itself, and R1 artstyle in particular was lovely, bit sad it's become more generic. But still looks pretty PB and it's going to be D1P anwyway.

    Looks good, though not any better than Risen 2. Can't wait.

    Wow. I always hated the look of the protagonist in Gothic, and now this guy. At this point I have to admit respect for PB for consistently daring to have genuinely unattractive main characters.

    I'm pretty sure it's a placeholder.

    I sincerely hope they stick with that guy as the protagonist. And that the game is good.

    Gothic's protagonist was at least easy to mod moddable.
