Risen 3 release date set for August

Risen 2 has come and gone, and if it's remembered for one thing, it's for how badly it butchered the first Risen and well, how bad it was overall. Despite that, interest for Risen 3 still exists. How good or bad the game is will be revealed this August!

I always kinda loved their games (especially Gothic 2) but I have a bad feeling about this. 3 months left and no gameplay has been shown yet... that's never a good sign. I'm hoping for a solid RPG but my expectations are pretty low.

Pintheshadows4388d ago

After Gothic 4 and Risen 2 my interest is dead. And you are right, no gameplay is a massive concern.

Argh, Arcania, once you get to the main island you instantly want to give up adventuring and go back to being a lowly goatherd.

Hopefully this leads to a new Red Faction and Risen.

isarai2197d ago

Oh SNAP! i would love a sequel to second sight, loved the first one.

AK912196d ago

I'd prefer if we got a 4K remaster first

Chaos_Order2197d ago

Second Sight is highly underrated.

Sciurus_vulgaris2197d ago

Both THQ and Koch Media are owned by the same larger company, the Embracer Group. I’m not sure why the publishing rights would need to be swapped.

rawshack2197d ago (Edited 2197d ago )

I hope they release risen on switch It's a underrated game all so

Outward is still one if my favorite RPGs this gen

FTLmaster2446d ago

Man, thanks for the tip! Not played Outward yet.

kadoha2446d ago

✹ Google pay 95$ per hour my last pay check was $8200 working 10 hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 15k for months now and he works about 24 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it out.This is what I do -!~!~!~!.GOOD LUCK ✹

Absolutely love Outward and cant wait for Greedfall!

FTLmaster2446d ago

Gonna definitely pick up Outward — looks like my cup of tea!

DaDrunkenJester2446d ago

Remnant is also a pleasant surprise and it was only $40. I'm a big supporter of mid tier gaming, as long as it has mid tier prices.

isarai2446d ago

Suggesting only AAA games deserve a full $60 price tag is dumb.

DaDrunkenJester2446d ago

As good as Remnant is, it is clearly a bit janky, doesnt have the full production value, reuses a lot of the same assets. Technomancer is the same way. And I'm not saying that cant go full price, but I'm saying it's certainly not as appealing, and the issues of lower budget RPG's may impact your viewpoint of the title if you had to pay full AAA pricing.

Remnant is great, but at $60 I'd complain a bit more on those issues I listed above.

porkChop2446d ago

Mid-tier products shouldn't charge premium prices. That's just common sense.

isarai2446d ago

Those are just janky, but there are solid mid tier RPGs and games too.

Divinity original sin II
Surge 1&2
Kingdom Come Deliverance

Then we got mid tier games outside the RPG realm like
Yakuza 0
Sniper Elite 1-4
Vermintide 1&2
Shadow Warrior 1&2
Nier Automata
And even the Dark souls series that all fall into AA/mid tier territory you're saying dont deserve to have a $60 price tag simply because enough money wasnt spent on them

bluefox7552446d ago (Edited 2446d ago )

I wouldn't call anything on that list "mid-tier" or AA.

isarai2446d ago

@blufox755

Well AAA or AA isnt an opinion, all these games have little to no marketing, made with half the amount of people at a fraction of the cost of a AAA game, I.E. mid tier games. Just because its good doesn't make it AAA, they are just good mid tier games

isarai2445d ago

Dear god this site is really starting to be populated by people who cant accept facts. AAA and mid tier is determined by how much funding is put into a game, thats just a fact. Some can pull of better games than others on the same budget. AA/mid tier is not determined by a level of lacked polish or jank, its budget, plain and simple. Hellblade is a mid tier game, ninja theory have even said so MANY MANY times, still looks as good as a AAA game, but it isnt. You people are really going to sit there and tell me the 505 Games published Sniper Elite 4 had just as much money and marketing behind it as say anthem? Or Battlefield V? 505 Games has always been a mid tier publisher. Oh and Warhammer Vermintide? Its literally published by a mid tier publisher (THQ Nirdic) who quite literally, publically said they are a mid tier publisher and aim "to bring the mid tier back to the video game industry". And if Yakuza 0 isnt mid tier why did it launch at $40 with the explanation being it was a smaller project? These are facts, and somehow you're going to look at facts and disagree? I dont understand you people

Outward, Technomancer, Kingdoms of Amaleur and Kingdom Come are gems, and they're personally the good kind of b-tier RPGs. Not a big fan of both Risen 3 and Bound by Flame, although I can definitely say that Risen 3 is a better pirate rpg than Raven's Cry.

And as for Greedfall? Definitely excited for it. Hoping it will be the devs' magnum opus.

ElementX2446d ago

Elex is pretty decent, but extremely difficult at first until you level up a lot and get better gear. I died countless times from the start. Just stick with it and keep doing quests, often times running away is necessary.

FTLmaster2446d ago

Really enjoyed ELEX. I liked its verticality and there were so many cool monsters as well. Good RPG!
