Deep Silver has released a <a href="http://risen.deepsilver.com/blog/pages/posts/first-ingame-video66.php">video clip</a> of Piranha Bytes' Risen over on the "Official Risen Blog", calling it a "mood clip" .<blockquote>Watch the first video with impressions from the world of Risen, the upcoming epic roleplaying game from Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes. Enjoy flights through the jungle with huge trees and detailed animals.</blockquote>So if you'd like to get a better grasp of Risen's environment's and aesthetics, you're in luck. If you want solid gameplay footage, it seems waiting is in order.

Pretty damn short. I like the junglish art direction and the animals' animations look pretty good.

Although the quality of the video is not great and it is taken off screen, it gives a pretty good idea of what we could expect in terms of monster design, world design and actual gameplay.
One thing I didn't quite like was the combat system which looked somehow familiar to Gothic 3's combat system, but players who actually had hands-on experience with the game at that convention say that it's nothing like that, and it is somehow familiar to the combat system of the old games. Which is, in my opinion, great.

Anyway, here are some more videos - http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/sh ... stcount=47

And apparently the combat system demoed there is just a stand in they say. Why they would demo it then is beyond me.

In another video it looked like only one enemy attacks you at a time (like G3).

Unlike Gothic 3 CP 1.7 .

Visuals kinda nice but too much bloom - the sky looks fugly again.

Unlike Gothic 3 CP 1.7 .

Which btw uninstalls your X3 game

Not with the hotfix, though, which also changes the annoying issue with rain sounds without actual rain effects.
About Risen - some guy that played the game at the convetion said that this time multiple enemies CAN attack you in the same time, much like Gothic 3 1.70

Looks like Gothic, so there's still hope. I don't think they can screw up combat as much as it was in G3.
