No, dude, it doesn't....

Well, release September 2006, the first patch October 2006, playable January 2007. :wink:

 

[Fresh]

hell yeah

 

[Rendelius]

Great. I am looking forward to this one.

 

[Volourn]

'All gamers'? Ok then. If one person posts how much G3 sucks; they should be advertised for false advertisment and lying. Hahahahaa!!

 

[Drakron]

No, dude, it doesn't....

Its Babelfish German after all ... *wonders how butched it is*

 

[bryce777]

I wish I could get excited about it, but unfortunately I played the first two so I can't.

 

[Excalibur]

for some reason i thought september was next moth lol.

 

[Fresh]

Mmm Gothic 3. My nipples are getting hard.

 

[Sisay]

I guess that's just the German release, not English/international? I can't say I'm too excited but it's not like there's a lot of other games to look forward to. Too bad they make you play the same incredibly bland main character again.

 

[LlamaGod]

Better than Oblivion status: Confirmed.

Excitement level: High.

 

[Section8]

Good stuff, but are they planning an initial Deutsch release before localising in English? I'd hope that the Gothic series has a high enough profile these days to warrant swift international release, but previous titles were a long time coming, and they were frought with a whole lot of publisher bullshit.

 

[Frau Bishop]

The release date on the english forums is also given as: 4th quarter 2006, but I read statements about delay for the UK version because of translation and sound recordings which could delay it until 2007. As already said, needed patches will delay it anyway to be a full and enjoyable game, so it will be the same for all players worldwide - about one year left to upgrade the graphic card, cpu and ram.

 

[Atrokkus]

Can't fucking wait.

[Claw]

just for comparison..

Fans may breathe a sigh of relief, soon the long wait for the third part of the celebrated roleplaying title comes to an end. „Our Gothic community had to wait a long time for this day and always had to content itself with the answer "...when it's done." In September this year Gothic 3 will finally be available in stores and will make the players' hearts beat faster with its sophisticated quality!“ says Stefan Berger, Senior Brand Manager JoWooD Productions.

Sounds pretty silly either way, but you can't really blame him, he is PR after all.


Yeah, I am vaguely excited. I just wish I was certain they don't screw it up. I am not surprised by the delay, there was so much uncertain not long ago, I think they have barely started on some parts of the game. They're just a year behind schedule, that's still OK I guess.

How frustrating will the controls be in Gothic 3? I got through 3 chapters of Gothic 2, but never got used to the mind-boggling keyboard controls and lost interest.

noob

 

[Kraszu]

Ever heard of meanu? You can select wsad+mouse controls.

 

[geminito]

Meanu? No, never heard of meanu...

I tried both controls. Awful. Besides, it was mostly an action adventure game, with RPG-lite elements. The wilderness environments were fantastic, which is what kept me playing.

 

[Jora]

Rosenkrantz (?) says that the controls are easier and very different from the previous games.

 

[Kraszu]

I actually like the controls, and fight in gothic games(exept for inventory, but still not that bad). Whot was so hard in fight whit wsad+mouse?

 

[Elwro]

What was so hard with keyboard-only Gothic 1 interface in the first place?

 

[Drakron]

Simple, fighting sims controls have no place in a RPG.

Gothic always had complains about the controls and as they are "fine" in a flghting sim arena (as long the camera is decent) it breaks down when someone that never played Tekken is expected to use those control types and have a standart "follow the ass" camera as default.
