Morgoth

But Starcraft >> WH40K

From what I understand there are A LOT of references to the first three so one that has played them will enjoy the game a lot more BUT being a new unexplored part of the world and being with a new main character, it should be a good starting point for newcomers. Just take into account that there will be a difference in gameplay between this and the originals (not as big as between Fallout 2 and 3, but still a good difference) if you then want to go back and play them. My gaming nowadays is exclusively console, which is why I'd try this game out since I see it'll have a 360 release version. Aren't the previous three PC exclusive? So I don't think I'd be trying them out either way, unless they'd run on my current POS PC (I can barely run NWN2 on here). Playing a console game from a German developer that never made a Xbox/PS game before, is, to say at least, a very adventurous undertaking. In other words, I believe that the console versions of Arcania will suck.

Crytek has 10 games in development

So late? I'm disappointed. Took them 7 years to make that bloody game...

XCOM is from the guys who made Bioshock 2 AFAIK. No. There are 2 "K MArine studios. One in Marine (duh) that made Bioshock 2, and the other in Australia that makes XCOM.

I'm totally not interested in this game. Some fanatical Nazis in power suits shouting some hate speech is not my idea of fun. Never liked WH40K anyways.

I didn't know the Gothic games were set in Germany. Wow, you learn something new everyday.

Yeah but the controls will prolly totally suck.

Arkane game to be announced at Quakecon? Arx 2 or I will eat something alive.

John Carmack unleashes Rage on iPhone Runs with 60fps and Megatextures. Meh.

The hell with "traditional" CRPGs. DA2 will kick DAO's ass!

Doom 4 not at Quakecon 2010 Now I'm disappointed.

I don't get all this Bioshock 2 hate. I thought it was better than 1.

It's what you usually do in shooters.

Well, I think they haven't nailed that one down yet. The game's still way off till release. Edit: And I think they announced it too early anyways.

I don't really blame them. They made a game that sold 4 million+ units, so there's a lot of pressure on them. With such a success, you're doomed to develop within the same franchise. But I'm not unhappy, worst that could happen would be a plain Bioshock 3 set in Rapture.

I see it already coming: 2K Marine will make Bioshock Infinite 2 where we will fight the Kaiser.

After reading some of the previews I'm actually excited about this game. Who's with me?

Ken Levine interview @ Eurogamer

Ah heck, I still love Irrational so I'll buy this one. Too bad it's not coming out before 2012.

Geez the download is crawling.

Hmmm.... Isn't that plot basically what the original version of the Bioshock plot was supposed to be? I can't remember you needed to save someone in BS1.

1912 is just lame. I hoped for something futuristic.

Synopsis: Hmmm....

Trailer doesn't work for me.
