|
 |
yes its official now ( http://www.pcgames.de/aid,610771/Gothic_4_-_Es_ist_offiziell/ ), SPELLBOUND is making the new G4 Genesis on they Trinigy engine (Helldorado)
It will be multi platform PC , Xbox360 , Ps3 (more on the added flyer with 3 pics of G4)
 Spoiler: | |
here is the 360 look
| Quote: | The Name
Genesis - This name does not mean a complete restart of the Gothic series! Rather it means that something has changed. This is how the new developer, Spellbound, explained it. After JoWooD and Piranha Bytes split on the 22 of May 2007, the search for a new developer started and this search ended on the 23 of August when Spellbound was announced as the new developer for the next Gothic game. Piranha Bytes is the developer of Gothic 1, 2 and 3. JoWooD is the publisher of the Gothic series.
The Team
Spellbound has its headquarters in Kehl am Rhein, a city close to the french border, which is located in Baden-Württemberg, a state of the Federal Republic of Germany in the southwestern part of the country to the east of the Upper Rhine.
Spellbound has always had a history of being a French-German developer. With the French city of Strasburg being right across the river Rhein opposite to Kehl, the company could always employ people from both countries with both their individual and cultural backgrounds. It is that cultural diversity which the company believes has always proven to be advantageous for game development.
The company employs 24 firm coworkers, comming from Germany, France, South Africa and Russia, as well as approximately 30 freelancers [a freelancer or freelance worker is a person who pursues a profession without a long-term commitment to any one employer].
Some coworkers of Spellbound, under Jochen Hamma, the project leader, worked at Attic Entertainment Software and were in the project called Northlandtriolgy (Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny, Realms of Arkania: Star Trail and Realms of Arkania: Shadows over Riva), a series of computer role-playing games based upon the popular German pen & paper role-playing game Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye).
The Game
Engine:
* It is believe the Trinigy Vision Engine will be used in the development of Gothic 4: Genesis. The Vision Engine is one of the industry's most advanced technologies for professional game development and has proven its versatility and reliability in more than 60 commercial game productions all over the world. [click the link to see more games that where made with this Engine http://www.trinigy.net/index.php?id=20 ]
Story:
* The graphics of the game and the music are expected to come close to the ones Gothic 3 had and be up to date and competitive on the market when released.
* Characters, story and dialogues will be Gothic 2 oriented.
* Jochen Hamma says that dividing the story into chapters might be the best solution, for example for changing graphical elements in the gameworld. Use of chapters again is therefore most likely.
* Gothic 4: Genesis will not be a prequel [a sequel to a film, play, or piece of fiction whose events precede those portrayed in the original work] to Gothic 1.
Game world:
* Rough characters, a play world in the european setting and as fans expect, a world to give you the feeling of Gothic!
RolePlaying Elements:
* Certain aspects of the game's roles mechanics, for example the skill system, are going to look much alike Gothic 3 ones, which are supposed to be considerably improved.
* Exploration and discovery are two of the most important basic principles of the Gothic series, these elements will get proper attention with Gothic 4: Genesis.
* The game will be visually convincing, it will have a dark atmosphere and feeling, the landscape and music will be in connection with an interesting narrative style and the character development will be typical for a RPG, which will recompence the player on its discovery journey.
Interface:
* As for the interface, especially for combat, it will not be exactly as in Gothic 1, 2 or 3. However, for the fans we will make an interface that feels like it, one who has played for example Gothic 3 should easily find out how the new interface works, according to Jochen Hamma.
Combat system:
* Here Spellbound plans large changes. The combat system of Gothic 4: Genesis should promote more self initiative and be more dynamic.
Community
Both developer Spellbound and publisher JoWood plan active community support over the entire development of the game. Thus there are plans to offer regular question times as well as to have a generally increased forum activity. The feedback collected will have a substantial influence on the development of the game. Beyond that, selected community members will be invited in certain periods to try the game in order to collect direct criticism and improvement suggestions. Jochen Hamma, the project leader, spoke about such a meeting in the middle of 2008.
Release Date
There is no release date for Gothic 4: Genesis, it is however certainly that the game will appear first on PC, later in addition, on consoles. When it comes to consoles we already have the appropriate tools for Xbox360 and PS3. |

This might turn out ok, can't be much worse than G3 with those stupid herbalist quests "find 12 sunflower seeds" and bad combat, optimization, balance and so on.

Blame JoWood by not paying Piranha bytes for the 1.2 patch and making them bankrupt and stealing they title , Just wait for the "Gothic Universe Edition" that will have all 3 games on one dvd9 with that G3 patch (damn those stealing bastards)

imagine if they put an rpg story/quest system from gothic to something like assasins creed controls for movement, and then a decent fighting system, then wed be onto a winner.

Well if it's anything like Gothic 1 and 2 then I'll be happy. At least they don't have much to live up to with Gothic 3 as the previous game in the series.

Hmmmm... might as well give those a whirl.
But yeah, if it's like Gothic 2, then OK. Gothic 3 was fine, just that combat with boars sucked like performance.

Gothic3 sucked ass compared to g1-g2, and i dont mean just the performance/bug.., it was a shitty and dumbed down game, the incredible good fighting from the previous games was totaly dumbed down, many removed things (like diving and climbing) or just made worse.. i'm not holding my breath for this one..

I really hope they use a fighting style comparable to the one in gothic 1/2. The one used in gothic 3 was just stupid.

What Gothic compilation with a 1.2GB patch?
If you mean "Gothic Universe" I think it's just G1, G2+NOTR and G3 patched to the latest version and put on separate DVD's.
(Latest patch for Gothic 3 being 1.12 since the fanmade patches are somewhat unofficial.)
EDIT:
Official site
EDIT: Seems it's out afterall and is version 1.12.

I heard Gothic 4 already went gold, and they're already put all their resources into making Gothic 5. Gothic 5 actually started out as a patch to fix Gothic 4 but hey wtf.

I don't think this has been posted before, it's a clarification on the available screens and it seems they are more like artwork in how the game might possible look using that engine.
EDIT: Based on other details on the above forums and the forums on "World of Gothic" the release date should be around Q1 2010.

My guess is that they'll make this game about 2/3 way though and then ( maybe ) release an editor so that people can finish the game or themselves.
