View Full Version : Arcania: Gothic 4
Release: Q3 2010
We recently had a chance to see the Xbox 360 version of the game in motion to get a quick overview of the game, which starts off on a fairly large "tutorial island" before shipping you off to the rest of the game, which takes place on two other, even-more-vast islands. You play as a nameless shepherd (a brand-new character) whose entire world has been turned upside down by a violent, bloody raid on his home island perpetrated by the new king, Rhobar III, who bears more than a passing resemblance to the previous games' nameless hero. The king's raiding party kills off all your character's friends and family, not to mention his fiancee, so you embark on a journey to seek revenge for your fallen comrades, and you can eventually become a swordsman, archer, or wizard, just like your predecessor...

i've played Gothic 3 and it was like "The most bugged resource-hungry game of 2006",
i had a shitty pc at that time, the game used to take 15minutes loading :D, and when i put the game on very very very low i used to get white screen flashes and then crash!
you've reminded me to retry this on my better pc now.
the video looks smooth and nice, maybe because its the xbox version in the video hmm..
i also remembered, the player's animation looked like Ballet dancing when using a sword :D
EDIT:
If you can get past its technical issues, Gothic 3 offers a substantial, open-ended role-playing experience.
i played Gothic 3 too.first i had shit PC,later i played it on 8800 ultra :tongue: now i have ati hd5850,i think it will be enough for this game. i really like this kind of games and that interesting world...
i played it on 7300GS (<- screw it shitty card), Pentuim 4 3.2Ghz
now i have 8800GT, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 , i will try it soon lets hope it will run smooth @ max graphics/resolution.

gothic 3 will but gothic 4...
i'm sure i need a gfx card upgrade, but i think i'll 'accept' playing Gothic 4 on normal or low :D,
CoD6 lagged a lot @ 1920x1080 :frown: and that was a console port ..

that's some high res.i play on 1680x1050.modern warfare 2 about 100-120 fps
iirc when i lowered the resolution to 1680x1050 i used to get 60fps+,
@1920x1080 i used to get 20-40fps (depends on the location of course)

ROFLMAO
I Played Cod 6 on a C2D 6600 and an GF8800GTX and it runs smooth like a... smoothie under 1080p ;)
With my new Nvidia 275GT it runs not better unless i turn everything on ultra-high.

in that post i was talking about the buggy resource hungry badly coded Gothic 3 not CoD4 :biggrin:
COD4 runs perfectly for me at max everything
(note i hate AA its useless so i always turn it off in all games)
So this is fro real new Gothic?
Yeah.Just a different name and extreme graphics.
here is a new Trailer to Gothic 4 Arcania :)

When fighting with the lizard the sword looks normal but when fighting with the fire golem you can see there's fire on his sword.
Is that some kind of enchant or a secondary effect that appear when battling fire golems??
A bit to early yo ask I know but it would be nice and somehow awesome.

I'm somehow not thrilled by this being both console and pc game. Most of those were kinda meh. (Had that experience with Oblivion before...) Hope this is better.
Had that experience with Oblivion before...
Played it both on pc and console:huh:
The Elder Scrolls and Gothic series aren't quite the same thing.
Personally I prefer the later.

Sadly I tried demo and you might be right... Even Risen looked much better at the start
Well I didn't really expect this game would even be good! Let's face it, first two gothic games rule :D

And Third was cool but killed by number of bugs - i am not sure if Gothic 3 is stable after 4 years of patching.
Demo Cons:
Too easy
Combat system is not easy it is extremely easy
EXP locked at some moment
Too spoilerific (too good) loot
Demo had GFX setting set to high by default - no card detection.
If You have unsupported (theoretically) too weak GFX card you need to configure driver manually (case of nvidia)
Flat story line.
I do no like basic look of the character.
Demo PROS
fast save/load times
demo was quite long
GFX is reallly nice(@ HIGH setting)
