Gothic III: Updated Impressions @ IGN
   

The editors had a chance to visit with Gothic's North American publisher, Aspyr, at San Jose's GDC. They have updated their preview and are cautiously optimistic about Gothic III's look and feel though qualifying that they will be watching it very closely at this year's E3. <blockquote><em>One way that the two differ quite a bit is in the action gameplay. The melee combat system in Gothic III is much more robust than that of Oblivion with different moves, button combos, and animations for each set of weapons. Gothic has the advantage in this arena being built as a third-person game, which eliminates some of the limitations of the primary first-person mode in melee fights. From what was shown, the combat is also much easier to use this time around. While we didn't get the chance to lay hands on the game, characters seemed to auto acquire targets well and animations were much smoother and directional attacking better.</em></blockquote>Read the rest of the short preview <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/697/697758p1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.
