RPGs at the GC

It´s still undecided if we´ll attend the Games Convention. It would be nice to know which games are shown there though. Please post news about RPGs at the GC in this thread.

Drankensang definitively, and, if I'm correct, they'll show something new.

Legend
Witcher

Any Wizardy/Might and Magic style games on the horizon?

Yes, Grimoire, but it won't be shown at GC!!

Koch confirmed they´ll show the new PB game. I suspect only target renders and a couple of artworks though.

Plus some talking …

Deep Silver & Partners press conference on 22/08.

Piranha Bytes meets Deep Silver: The new RPG from Germany for the international market. Live on stage: Piranha Bytes (Mike Hoge and others) and Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of Koch Media.

Press conference on Wednesday, 22/08 in Hall 3/A12

Further topics of the press conference will be revealed shortly.

I'd like to see G3 fans asking them about a patch.

And of course they would say "Ask JoWood instead".

In German we say "to move the Black Peter around" - meant is a black card in a card game no-one wants.

And I´d like people to stay on topic.

An adventure:

A Vampyre Story

Publisher - Crimson Cow

Developer - Autumn Moon Entertainment

@Alrik:
german "jemanden den schwarzen Peter zuschieben" =
english "to pass the buck" or "to leave somebody holding the baby"

I didn´t see Crimson Cow on the exhibitor list.

English summary: They will be hosting a press conference on Thursday, August 23 from 15:00 to 16:00 hours CET. The subject of the conference is going to be Gothic news (whether this is the revelation of future PC/next-gen console plans or news about the mobile games remains to be seen). The conference will be divided up in two parts. One part presentation and the second half interviews.

I'm sure Gorath will make sure he's there for that if it's at all feasible!!

In case anyone cares there's a teaser site up for PB's new RPG (working title -or acronym rather- is "RPB") at: http://rpb.deepsilver.com/
The site has a couple celtic-themed wallpapers and an artwork with a clenched fist so far.

This is what PB's Ralf posted about it here…

Well- we are just starting- so please have patience with us…

The poster an wallpapers are part of an information package prepared for the GC.
We add more stuff in the upcomming months.

The Fist belongs to one of the main Characters- and when you look at the ornament on it, it allows you some speculations about the status.

And the wallpapers- don´t they remind you of wallfunishings?

More information will come- I too wait for the reports from the press conference…

Nice looking little teaser … can't wait to see what they come up with!

Update: World of Piranha Bytes has a short blurb on the press conference that was held this afternoon:

- Just as previous PB games, the game will feature a large, open world and a lot of dialog. It's supposed to be become a "typical PB game" according to Mike Hoge (from PB).
- There will be a volcano island that is called "The Forbidden Island".
- The story/theme: The Gods have disappeared from the world and a new power has taken their place. The player will be confronted with this new power.

They have posted some pics from the conference here:

Great, thanks Mo!!
