Graphics look magnificent!

I hope they won't be toned down on the consoles. Is this the first one or a sequel?

Well as far as the publishers are concerned it's Gothic 4, but it's really not as Pirahna Bytes made the first 3 Gothic games then had a falling out with Jowood who unfortunately completely owned the IP, so PB went off and made the rather good Risen (good on PC, not so good on 360 as a 3rd party did the 360 port), this "Gothic 4" is made by a dev called Spellbound, it's mostly just Gothic in name and setting as they seem to have removed some of the core components from the Gothic series, things like sleeping in beds to level up, going to trainers/teachers to advance your skills etc. etc. but it still seems pretty decent in itself I just view it as Arcania 1 not Gothic 4

The Demo is out Graphics are terrible on Xbox 360 and the gameplay is pretty glitchy.

Just completed the 360 demo about 3 mins ago Better port than Risen, but not a proper 360 version.
