| Gothic III: Preview @ 1 Up |
|
1 Up has a new preview for Gothic III based on the demo they viewed at GDC in San Jose. They too are cautiously optimistic (as is IGN) and hope to see much more at this year's E3.
For example, the franchise has finally abandoned its torturous keyboard-centric control scheme -- not because the team has admitted any problems with it, but because players want to use the mouse-keyboard control scheme. The series is moving off of the prison island of the first two games and onto the mainland, giving the designers enough room (three times the size of Gothic II) to actually deliver on the free-form possibilities that Gothic and its sequel promised. Gothic 3 isn't going to promise an open experience and then give you 30 hours of linear dungeon crawls (sorry, Gothic 1), nor is it going to try to offer more than that and simply hand players a game that's so difficult and frustrating that it's a dungeon crawl just to try and play it (Gothic II, we're looking at you and your buggy quests).

Thanks, SlamDunk!

Fixed. Thanks. Had a comma instead of a period in one spot.  |

It is interesting that in the midst of the Oblivion feeding frenzy these guys are positively praising the Gothic battle system over Oblivion's. I mean, *we* know that, but it is nice to see ...

There were no such problems with the first two games. 1UP is fucking whiners, I loved the fact that the games where alot harder on the easy setting then other games are on the hard setting. |

I would not recommend even reading 1UP, I remember them giving boiling point about 3 out of 10 when it was probably one of the best games ever made. |

Agree. Gothic 1 did not strike me as linear dungeon-crawly (wouldn't have bothered with Gothic 2 otherwise), and I'm actually replaying Gothic 2 right now, and I don't know of any buggy quests. |

Really x2?
1st: Searching the site I find no review 1Up Search
2nd: I liked Boiling Point, but "one of the best games ever made"?!?! With all of those bugs and problems? The criticisms made against it were generally warrented, unfortunately. Fun game, but highly flawed.
