I rented Risen 1 a while back, and I thought it was decent. I hope that this can be just like Two Worlds II and be better.
Except with, you know, the bribery?

I'm not familiar with the series, but this looks pretty interesting. I'll have to look into it and see what this is all about.
Ugh. The first Risen had laughable combat mechanics, dull dialogues, horrible map/inventory systems... they'll have to do much better this time to pique my interest (read: suck my money).
Risen was an awesome game. Very similar, yet lacking in the depth of their previous game, Gothic 2. :)
Hopefully with Risen being such a successful experiment for a new company freed from the clutches of JoWood, Risen 2 may even match the legendary Gothic 2.
The main quest is always meh is Gothic games, but who plays them for the main story anyway? No, the main focus is exploration and side quests, along with a world that is not black and white, but grey.

Compared to Gothic 2, the combat was fucking awesome.

So wait. The game that made me question if Two Worlds was worth re-trying is getting a sequel? Wow. Why not make Damnation 2 while you're at it.
Also, if you haven't played this on PC or played Gothic 2 before playing Risen then you're missing out on a LOT. ^^
I havent played Risen personally, but know quite a few people who rate the game highly, so if it ends up getting released on the PS3 as well i can say im definitely going to keep my eye on it.

As usual with German games, it'd be a lot better to stick with the PC version, since the console version is inevitably gonna suck.

As for a decent console port, I'll believe it when I see it. Risen wasn't bad, but even on the PC it was a little obessed with being "hardcore", with enough grinding to make FFXIV blush.
I bought the game on D2D at full price. Last game I have ever bought or ever will buy at full retail price.

Well, Two Worlds II did turn out to be a good game.
And did you just compare Risen to Damnation? Are you fucking serious? Good lord, I lose faith in humanity more and more as days go by.

I liked the original, but I always was a fan of the Gothic series. Until the third one, that is.
Risen wasn't perfect, but I still enjoyed it. I just hope the devs understand that there's plenty room for improvement.

The first game was neat to play, but I hated the user interface and being forced to pick a side in order to get a specific class.
I have played Risen personally,i really like it, my 14 year old boy really like too.
