 Not only the new name was revealed at the Games Convention, but also first hand information about gameplay mechanics and wonderful graphics. At the moment big online magazines are full of praising Spellbound's graphics skills. The journalists are especially stunned by the weather effects:
Rain gathers itself in puddles, which will vaporize if the sun is shining. Rain drops are running the roofs down. Covered areas e.g. canopies remain dry. The printed magazine Gamestar compared Arcania: A Gothic Tale to Crysis and said that it looks as good as the first person shooter.
Also new information concerning the long-range combat system were released: It will be on an equal level with close-combat and magic. That means that a long-combat skilled hero will be able to pass the whole game without problems.
If you fight with a bow, there'll be a little crosshair which slowly moves up and down simulating the breathing of our hero. A hit enemy will react differently depending on the area he got hurt. For instance, a blow in the neck will cause the enemy to press a hand against his throat, or a blow in the knees will cause the enemy to collapse.
There are also improvements regarding the damage calculation: A headshot will cause critical damage, by contrast to a hit in the arm.

As reason JoWooD mentioned marketing purposes - Arcania will be released worldwide, but most of the international press has rated former Gothic games badly. With a new name and a new developer Arcania is ready to provide a satisfying game for the fans. |
