YES

ANOTHER BUGFUCKFEST!!

May 22, 2007 - Today JoWood let the world know they're in the process of "promising negotiations" with a new developer for Gothic 4. The long-running action RPG series' development had previously been handled by Pluto 13, also known as Pirahna Bytes, a company apparently now left out in the cold. There was no mention as to who the prospective new developers could be, so there's no real release window for this one yet. For now, Gothic 4 is planned as a console and PC project, a shift from the series' previous PC exclusivity.

It can be a gothic game if they keep the basics of gothic (and Im not talking about bugs, you flamers! Smile)
I think that if the game is raped it'd because of JoWood, not for the new developers.

If some other publisher is smart enough should take Piranha bytes to make another game.

I dont know who made the choice to remove diving, climbing, change lockpicking, totaly dumb down the combat etc. but i doubt it was JoWood, if it was then PB should've stood up for themselves and their fans. They couldnt make the patch although they got funds for it, they asked for more and JW fired them.. imo, it's not JoWood to blame..

The devs are probably just not as inspired as they were when they made the first two games + they prob got tired and greedy (they seem to have put too much resources into the GFX and not cared that much about the other aspects).

I'm sure that they were forced to improve the graphics to that extreme in order to compete with oblivion, and that left less time to them to include other things. Graphics are always a marketng isue (increase sales) and that is all publisher affair.

I'ts a fact that they can do diving, climbing and that other things coz they did it before.

i cant stand that AA isnt working in G3, it needs AA to look even remotely good..

k-limero: it's not only in the publishers interest that the game sells well... i hated the fact that the devs acctually said "we listened to the community to make the game just like the fans wanted it bla bla bla" that was such BS...

Gothic with all his problems, was a human version of Oblivion in smaller scale. (no cardboard NPCs unlike oblivion).
PB managed to create a new quality franchise, a new world, and whole bunch of fans, including me..and now it seems its over.

I hope it's not a fatal blow for PB.
I hope Gothic 4 won't be the next "Fallout 3" raped franchise.
But then we forget about black suits.
dam black suits... Gothic RIP Sad

The third one isn't finished! I made the mistake of buying that game. The worst part were the load times... and you die pretty often in the beginning thanks to boars. Quickload not so quick.

to be fair quickload and loading times are very short on high end rigs. and after the first 2 patches the boar problem was solved. anyways ranged weapons made prety easy work of boars, it was n00bs that keep rushing in with swords that had the problems. Razz

the bugs are more to do with plot holes etc. wasnt that bad overall just a bit easy that you could wipe out whole armies+villages singlehandedly with ease.

If it's coming to Xbox 360 it won't pass certification if it's too buggy, so in turn the PC version might be improved.

YAY another useless piece of bad coding to ignore!!
Maybe i should send a reminder to the developers so they won't forget to include the game exe in the retail just in case.
