Pics in magazine look GREAT and the site ones look COLORLESS
   

If you just put the same pic from the magazine and the new site side by side, the magazine scans look colorfull and just UNBELIEVABLE, and the newly released look like the game is black and white in comparisson. How come the actual game look that bad in colors, while in scans it looks like the best thing ever ???

THANK GOD, Nvidia has the digital vibrance feature, if you set it all the way you get the AMAZING colors the game has in the magazine scans

In the new video too, the colors are terrible, too pal and faded like the pics. If you digital vibrance in full, you will notice those unseen otherwise red flowers under the rhinos feet as they run forward. I hope all those pics and videos are not final, and the colors will be better and more vibrand than those. Like in the scans, the scans colors are the absolutly perfect ones

More then likely they are like that because of the compression and lower res.

I was hoping for at least a good nice high res shot.

I think i looks terrible, and i doubt the compression makes the colors disapppear, it just makes the screenshot more blurry

I hope they tune up the game's vibrance to much that of the scans

Those screens in magazines are much higher resolution (300 dpi instead of something like 72 dpi). That alone makes a big difference.
Another thing is that those pictures on the teaser site are probably *kuch* scanned *kuch* from the magizine.
I know it sounds weird (because PB or Jowood has sent those pictures to PC games themselves), but I think that's what happened.

In the videos I think it's just a compression thing.

The 3 images from the news section today are impressive! I am excited about Oblivion, Gothic3, and Arx Fatalis2!

Well just have a look at the comparison pics. It is day to night, the colors of the real game as shown in the pics are just terrible saturated, it looks more like a balck and white game, while the pics in the scans, though wrongfully saturated and colored by the scanning or magazin printing, look INCREDIBLE.

I worry not though, as nvidia has a digital vibrance feature, which will saturate the colors for me since the developers have lost all color for this game

In the real game you will be able to set the colors as you want them to be, just play around with the brightness, contrast and gamma.
You can do the same with G2, you could be able to get the same differences.
I'm not worrying either.

Well, personally, I like the pictures from the teaser site more, since gothic was always kind of, dunno how to say, greyish compared to the shiney colours of other games. Imo it adds to the athmosphere/realism and is probably wanted to be like that by the developers.

Well this was true for gothic 1, but gothic 2 was far more colorfull and beautifull i might suggest. Anyway, the pics from the scans look incredible, while the ones official look a bit crappy and colorless with details lost in colorlessness

That's work in progress.

Gorath is right, have you check out other games and compared the first official screens and the last ones? Sometimes you wonuldn't believe it's the same game. There's almost a full year of work between the release of the game and the release of those screens. Don't pin yourself onto those screens too much.

Oh my god, a red chocobo and her little child! They are soooooo CUTE!!! Now if I can have these chocoboes as pets and piggy-ride on them... ='v'=

The forest looks so much like a photo. Are you sure that the next-generation video cards can render these realistic-looking sceneries? That would be awesome. =D

The screens are in-game, so there is already a videocard that can render those realistic sceneries.
