This is from wiki: Gothic 3 is powered by a custom engine called Genome. For Risen it just says: Internal development by Piranha Bytes. From the brief google search i can't seem to find anything that says Gothic 3 and Risen used the same engine.

Your google-fu is weak: http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/3d-engine-genome

Ah, indeed it is. Mystery solved.

Of course they are the same engine, plain obvious while playing them.

Gothic 3 is completely broken, not just the combat. The whole game needs to be remade with a new engine.

What has the engine to do with that? Risen 1 has the same engine and works just fine.

Engine runs like hell with glitches.

How retarded are you? Did you even read the last 5 posts?

 

[sullynathan]

I didn't

It's widely known that sully is plenty retarded.

And a weeaboo to boot.

new shit

Credit where it's due - 99% of mainstream developers would never show off screenshots with so much clipping and other graphical weirdness in them. I can fully believe that the game actually looks like that.

I think publishers and gamers alike stopped giving a shit about mockups vs actual screenshots. Every consoletard has been conditioned to the realities of 900p@25Hertz games being the non-plus-ultra.

As for the screenshots: Graphics are mediocre and art design is atrocious. But we all know that was never PB's strength to begin with so there's still hope they excel in world design and gameplay.

Is that guy weeding his garden in full battle armor?

I don't really understand where they're going with this mishmash of styles. There's just no coherence, the screenshots look like they could be from 3 or 4 different games.

i.e. ris3n all over again

Same impression here.

Not that it would be a deal breaker for me, assuming the game will be mechanically solid, but the vibe I'm getting is some "Let's throw everything on the wall and see what sticks" sort of approach.

 

[Junmarko]

Hopefully some gameplay footage coming soon...

 

[Zombra]

Bah. It's Gothic plus cool robots to mix things up. Not that crazy.

Can't wait to see how much I can roll during combat.

No, but seriously. I'd be interested in seeing what kind of character systems they've opted for this time (what kind of variation of Risen 3's system, that is... likely) and how that affects gunplay.

I don't even...makes me so fortunate to have missed ~10 years of gaming and avoided seeing such crap come to be. I'm done with following this for now. If it turns out to be good I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hype 101: Always set your expectations low.

Bah. It's Risen 3 plus generic scifi to mix things up. Not that crazy.

 

[Infinitron]

We need a catchy term for the heavy use of combat rolling in fantasy games, similar to what "popamole" is for shooters.

...pop-a-roll? Nah.
