Official System Requirements of Risen have been revealed. Apparently a 2.0 GHz CPU and a Shader Model 3.0 GPU are required. 3.0 GHz Dual Core and GeForce 8800 - ATI Radeon HD 2900 are recommended.
Here's why Risen might be one of the best RPGs you probably haven't played. We'll consider various aspects of Risen and discuss its strengths.
I played it a bit, but it's one of those games I just forgot about. Same with the two worlds games, gothic 3 and Arcania: Gothic 4. It sounds and looks nice (for the time) but it just doesn't scratch that itch quite right.
Idk why but I usually like their games , risens, elex etc. I've only played risen 2 risen 3, elex and elex 2. I'm gonna get the risen 1 at some point
Their games have a certain level of jank and wouldn’t hurt to be more difficult but I still had a good time with Two Worlds 2 and would have bought a 3.
Shit elex took me a minute to stop being killed but once I learned a few tricks , etc I was doing good

These games "look" good from video clips/screenshots, but apparently they're pretty buggy and gameplay is wonky.. like developers had a great concept but with the scope, it was hard to deliver.. and that's for 3 games..
WTMG's Aaron Price: "The long and short of it is that Risen is a fun action-adventure RPG. It is very rough around the edges, not to the extent of some other games in the genre that came out around the same time (looking at you, Two Worlds), but it has charm. If you’re a fan of Oblivion, or Skyrim, and want to see another game that has a similar style, this might be a good pickup.
Risen 2 is still available for digital download meaning you can easily get lost in this world but hours upon hours if you found yourself enjoying it. I don’t personally find this re-release to be a massive improvement over the original, as little to nothing in it has been actually revamped, but it’s still great to see the game get a release on more consoles than just the Xbox, or even just a way to experience the start of the series if you maybe played the sequel on PS3."
for medium setting performance its pretty accessible, almost any new PC can handle that.
never heard of this game
Too bad that the PS3 only have 1 crapy core with 4 gayspe's for developers, while 360 have 3 cores and if The PS3 wants to, they can rent 1 core from the 360.
360 runs at 3.2 and 3 cores and has the graphics to handle it at 512 mb.
On the other hand the PS3 has 1 core with 256 mb graphics split, oh the irony off owning crap its just too great.
Available for system and consoles that can handle the engine, 360 and PC's.
What you didnt like what I have to said? So, what bite my little leg.
PS3 Fantards call sony hotline and tell them that they need to build 2 more cores to their black garbage truck.
Not much info about this one out there, but it is actually quite a good looking game. You can see Gothic in it of course, but it is really very Fable like in it's look. Without the prissy vibe that Fable 2 had, though....thankfully, lol. Not to mention the gameplay features are not as watered down. Very pretty game as well.
