Super High Res Gothic 3 Screenshots

Thanks, and also I really apreciate the links instead of directly posting the images.. I have 350k/s DSL, but it still takes awhile most of the time cause the server is slow :)
 
Looks great thanks for the post. I just hope they tweak the engine. Gothic one still runs like crap on my 2.4 XP+w/9800pro

What's your definition of crap? Morrowind is just about playable on my computer, will gothic 2 run better or worse than that? I just bought gothic 2 and don't want to have it run at 3 fps :(

It will run better. The second ran fine, the first ran like shit on my pc.
 
I hope they fixed the combat for this one, the combat in Gothic 2 redefined what a bad combat system can be.

Not true. Once you get it, it was easy. I can kill and orc like straight away from the start with the shitty gear :).

I never said it was hard, I said it was bad, and it really really is. Just clunky, unrefined and boring.

They don't calibrate it, it's not in the best setting to watch an hdtv, chances are, they're not using a good source for the video. lots of reasons.
 
You can of course criticise those pics all you want but you must not forget that those are work-in-progress screenshots. No shadows, shader effects missing, detail/optimizations missing, etc.. The game is still a long ways off and I'm sure that those pics do not represent how the game will look when it's finished.

But... to tell the truth, the graphics are secondary in Gothic games. It's all about the immersion, the gameplay and the overall feeling and atmosphere. Those are the things that make Gothic games really shine amongst modern games. Pure awesomeness.

Will this be coming to consoles, or is it PC only?
Gothic 3 is coming sometime in 2006 and for the PC only, for now. Piranha Bytes is considering consoles but time will tell how it is going to be.
 
According to that thread, it's going to use PS3.0 extensively...and here I've just bought a second-hand X800 Pro. T_T Oh well, the recommended processor is 3GHz, and I've just dead-ended my mobo with a 2400+. I can likely wait to play this until after my major upgrade next year. Now on the post-upgrade list: Oblivion, Gothic III, Boiling Point...
