Unannouced as of yet.

What is known:
Technical Details
° The Gothic II engine won't be - as had been suspected - Phenomedia's CodeCreatures but a revamped version of the 'old' Gothic engine which makes better use of hardware (environmental mapping, detail textures...)

° The world has technically been cut in half so you won't be required to have at least 512MB RAM in your system; due to streaming technology loading times should be considerably shorter

° Hardware requirements for getting the nicest effects would be a PIII and a GeForce 3 with 32 MB RAM


Check the Gothic II Facts here for more details on the game.

I wouldn´t be surprised to find out that this was a typo in the original interview. GeForce 3s with 32MB were never manufactured, and Gothic needed a GeForce 2 (GTS) with 32MB to run smoothly.

I sure hope it only requires the G2. I don't wanna have to shell out for a new card.

Does anyone think 392 MB of RAM is pushing it for GII or do I need more?

You cannot change your username. An admin has to do it for you.

Did TheLonePaladin think that no-one else would use the name because he used 'LONE' in his?

Keep your name...Mighty Paladin!
