World of Gothic is reporting on an item from JoWood New about a rumoured
offer for an Xbox 360 version of Gothic 3: Rumour has it that JoWooD,
European publisher for Gothic 3, has recently received a substantial bid to sell
the XBox publishing rights for its hit RPG computer game.

I suspect Microsoft could be the one that would want the rights, it makes a lot of sense, since this game would a real system seller, the controls would be perfect on a cosnole and devlepers could double their money and fan with minimum effort and
huge rewards


Here are the facts and rumors about Gothic 3 coming to xbox 360

FACTS
1. Jo-wood has spoken of gothic on consoles plans
2. In an quite old interview about gothic 3, developers said they were thinking of a xbox 360 version, but only after pc game is ready
3. Gothic 3 uses gamebryo 2 engine and speedtree, as Oblivion does and the port to xbox 360 would be really much easier than with any other engine

RUMORS

1. The bidding for publishing rights is indeed a rumor, but the game is not as popular as to create random rumors about it, so the possibility of this beeing true is really high

Now, on topic,

since this game would a real system seller,

Since when the Gothic serie is a system seller?

Well if nasos_333 buys a 360 to play Gothic, it'd count

Gothic is otherwise a very minor name in RPGs. Gothic 3 has some positive concepts on paper, but it'd need amazing reviews to attract popular attention, especially away from Oblivion.

hmm... that would be great, then i wouldnt have to buy half a new pc to enjoy the game.

they even could bring simple ports of gothic 1 and 2 to the game, shouldnt be too much of a problem.


this really would help microsoft.

 

[Lysander]

is there some info what gothic is? just don`t start with that "it`s better than oblivion"

 

[booomups]

gothic is an rpg set in a fantasy world with magic, swords, a big evil, dragons, orks and so on. In the previous two games one could join bandits, knights etc., but the freedom of choice and many different ways to solve problems was mostly a given.

great games

you see your character from the 3rd person view, default config.

whats the red points below my post count mean..... someone dont like me?

It amazes me how people on this forum are sure to have access to the internet (how else would they be here) but don't use it.

That's the link for the English site. gothic3.com is natively german. I thought I'd include the full link 'coz it's so crazy-ridiculous long!

And there's always IGN which, if it hasn't got an upcoming game, is likely to have the previous iterations to check out.

your right..... one says that a thread of mine was flamebait, the other thinks my posts have no content, or simply to little for that.

WHO CAREs abut rep anyway!

 

[Shifty Geezer]

I'd count those as useful comments, not insults!

 

[booomups]

oh... and one of the most pleasent things about gothic were treasurehunting, innocent npc massacers, and going up against beast 3 times your own size... well a fantasy game.

 

[booomups]

and who is saying i make to many posts without much content.. who..?? who exactly??

Thanx, shifty, and I agree, just can`t understand some of those ppl.

Btw, gothic3 visuals are honey sweet art.

 

[booomups]

and on top of that those are pretty "old" screenshots....... (several months)
well, i hope we are in for a treat when the game comes out.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

I still think that Gothic 3 looks horrible

 

[booomups]

I still think that Gothic 3 looks horrible

i am sure they'll fix things up nicely for when the game comes out, but when i saw those shots the first time i was stunned.

but one year really is alot of time regarding graphics.

 

[nasos_333]

I still think that Gothic 3 looks horrible

I wouldn't say that !!!

3. Gothic 3 uses gamebryo 2 engine and speedtree, as Oblivion does and the port to xbox 360 would be really much easier than with any other engine

Gothic 3 game engine has been called the "Genome Engine" for quite some time now, though (evolved from Gamebryo engine, re-coded by the Piranhas).

Other bits:

- Supports multithreading (dual-core CPUs etc.)
- Supports Shader Model 3
- Uses AGEIA PhysX SDK for realtime physics (formerly called NovodeX)
- Uses SpeedTree for foliage (trees & plants)
- Uses EMotion FX 2 for realtime character animations

Here's also a extensive on-going Q&A session with the developers:

Nice info, but still muc of the angine is based on the gamebryo, and certain libs will be ready for xbox 360 i suppose. Then xbox IS multithreaded, supports shader model 3, can use 3rd cpu core for physics, support speedtree as Oblivion shows, as for animations, i think can be done on xbox cpu as great as on pc ones, so there is no real problem making it for xbox 360
