Modder ‘Vurt’ has released a brand new graphics mod for Piranha Bytes’ classic RPG, Gothic 2. According to its description, this Gothic 2 Graphics Overhaul adds 600+ new textures and 60+ new or improved models, new rain, sun, skies, as well as new trees.
There are great games that everyone remembers and then there are great games that most people didn't get to play.
We shouldn't expect a sequel to the Gothic series any time soon, Björn Pankratz from Piranha Bytes told us. The studio has been considering a remake of the original games, but currently they don't have the manpower to do it.
Nooo, Gothic 2 might still be my most favourite game of all time. Some publisher should give them the ressources to remake this series with todays standards, it really deserves it.
WC:
If the video game RPG genre was a human being, it’d be that kid who was a bit of an outsider in school; probably bullied and laughed at for playing with his imaginary friends, but never complained, kept doing their thing, and went on to be successful and appreciated by people later in life.
I reckon I need to check out that Vampire game. Also come January, Dragons Dogma would need to be on the list when it launches on steam
no fast travel and repetitive spawn is only thing that I dislike about dragon dogma. otherwise an excellent game indeed.
I think I played it on the PS3 when there wasn't fast travel. I actually didn't mind not being able to fast travel because I just like walking around and exploring in these types of games. Obviously it is useful to have fast travel in there so that's pretty cool. But I want that 60fps and higher res the most!
Dont worry, the fast travel issue has been fixed in Dark Arisen so you are gonna be good.
And this game will look stunning on PC.
Most RPGs age really well. I expect a lot of us will have some catching up to do when we are old, decrepit and don't understand the new, silly technologies these kids use (and even our Holodecks became obsolete decades ago).
well, i hope i made some sense in my 1 sentence glimpse at the future.
