I wasn't impressed when I saw some screenshots some time ago. I gotta say, after seeing it in motion with sound it seems pretty awesome.

It's interesting seeing such a faithful reproduction. It really is a remaster rather than a reenvisioning. 

Thank god for that - I don't think that many people got to enjoy the original, this gives newer players a chance to tackle it.

the channel has some interesting little dev tidbits too. 

Except that tiny bits they've shown of "gameplaY" look like confusing ass.

GFX are top tho. 

Bought, downloaded, installed.

Tried to change mouse button bindings, game wouldn't allow it (despite the decade-old Gothic3 allowing this).

Emailed support. They suggested using AutoHotKey.

Installed Autohotkey and created and ran a file to rebind mouse buttons.

Game froze because I couldn't replicate the onscreen instructions in the intro.

Tried to stop Autohotkey file running and couldn't because I'd rebound mouse buttons.

Had to power restart computer to stop it.

Uninstalled and permanently deleted Risen 3 from Steam.

GG WP. 

 

zy config. 

 

I played the original Risen just recently even though it was a third person game, because I got it cheap on GOG. It turned out to be pretty good. From what I read though, the rest of the series did not seem worth playing. 

but if you are messing with AHK, it is a good idea in cases like this to always add extra bind that reverts your binds.

I learned that the hard way when steam had that crappy clicker-event I was too lazy to search for and learn how to use existing clickers. 

I've found glovepie to be the best for rebinding. I did have autohotkey at some stage, but dumped it, probably confusing as fuck to setup. Anyway, Gp gets used for pretty much every game I play now, they all fuck up keyboard rebindings. You can easily just alt-tab out and click the stop button to turn it off.

Re risen 3, I hear the combat is exactly the same as risen 2, which was just plain broken, so you're not missing much. However Risen 3 developers actually telling you to use autohotkey - essentially a hack program to try and bring features into a game that should come with those features already - is pretty funny. 

Collossal wankstains. Maybe I could get it to work with Glovepie but if they didn't want to spend any time getting their game to work properly then I don't want to spend any time playing it. 

If a game's target platform is not the PC, then the PC version will always be a sloppy, half-functional mess.

There, I've saved you some money. 

"...right around the corner."

Here's a blog on how they are creating a Lovecraftian city http://frogwares.com/urban-planning-lovecraftian-horror-first-steps/

Misc news on the title : http://frogwares.com/sinking-city-news/

I love the premise, and the concept art is nice. However I haven't played anything by this developer before (They did the Sherlock games but I've never seen them) so the hype train isn't fuelled yet. 

Is the first image an actual screenie?? Style looks promising for sure. Would be nice to know playable perspective and some gameplay mechanics too. 

Space Station 13, anyone else here far enough on the aspie spectrum to have tried it ? :D

I get to live my fantasy of being a Space Janitor a la Roger Wilco. 

More excited for this trailer than the actual game

Plugged in to my 4k TV, looks awesome!

The sound and music are equally as good -- if not better.
