PC Games and GameStar had a look Spellbound's Gothic 4: Arcania aka Arcania: A Gothic Tale. Short summary:
- The new graphics engine looks great and is lightning-fast.
- Detailed weather simulation, for example: rain -> wet or dry areas -> puddles -> sun dries them up slowly
- "light exposure control" (basically HDR)
- Much more graphical details on characters. Example: Lester -> tattoos, skin details, skin folds
- Ranged combat (bow): Zoom over the shoulder, up & down movement (-> breathing), different target zones, aiming costs stamina
- experience with a weapon category increases its precision and hit percentage; only as a small modifier on top of standard Gothic character development though
