Risen 3DVision Review for Risen
  2 / 3    
[quote name='pahncrd' post='594415' date='Sep 30 2009, 07:06 AM']Okay, so I played around with Risen for about two hours. I find that it looks pretty great in 3d stereo with shadows turned off. I'm not sure why everyone else is having issues, but I get almost no ghosting and with shadows off only the ocean looks a little messed up. All in all it is pretty great looking.[/quote]

Honestly I dislike turning off shadows, they add a lot of realism in a stereo 3D game. If you have no shadows, the game world loses a lot even in 2D, let alone here. I guess I'll just wait

[quote name='Arioch' post='594436' date='Sep 30 2009, 08:39 AM']Gothic 3 works very well for me with 3D Vision, which surprises me after reading some people'es issues with it. The sky is 2-D but it isn't that distracting really to me. The game looks great in 3D and there are no issues with shadows, lighting, or anything that I can see. I do have dpeth of field turned off also. The game is very immersive and I love exploring the vast gameworld now that I play it in 3D.[/quote]

And maybe I'll play with Gothic 3! Did you try the latest community patch? It's supposed to improve graphics and gameplay immensely /thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' />

Mark my words... the shadows will never work in 3d vision. >.< If I'm wrong, feel free to quote this post and I'll admit I was wrong.

That said, it still looks great.

It's good to know that this works in 3d with the shadows off. I was hoping to try this game out with 3D Vision.

I have a few questions for those already playing Risen:

Can someone tell us how the gameplay is?

Does it require a massive graphics card to play in 3D?



Thanks for any input in advance!!

In Risen...?Perhaps...In 3D Vision games as a whole?There are already many of them working /thumbup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup:' />

if you liked Gothic - you will like Risen. I advise you to start play on easy, because even then it is pretty hard to play :( maybe i will get the hang of it soon..

In my opinion a game work only great in 3DV if you don't have to turn off anything. Like in Batman.

Sure you can play any game in 3DV :) , its just a matter of personal opinion. But you can always rate the quality of 3DV by compatibility to game and the options.

The HDR was the first thing I noticed right off the bat. I will play a little today before I go to bed and see how it goes.

Wow, I am really impressed with how well the demo performs so far and looks in 3D - it is a beautiful game. As mentioned earlier, you have to disable shadows but its a worthy trade off for 3D. It definitely feels like a Gothic game to me and in a good way.

I agree, but still in caves there are strange black shadows around the avatar.
