Those are very reasonable specs for a entry level enthusiast PC title.

Also "DirectX v9.1" doesn't exist.

Only 2GB of RAM?

Right. Probably DirectX9.0c? Just a copy/paste + translation from a German newssite. (http://www.pcgameshardware.de/aid,691371/Risen-Systemanforderungen-von-Piranha-Bytes-bekannt-gegeben/Rollenspiel-Adventure/News/) Link

Also Tagès seems to be the copy protection system of their choice.

Hope these System specs imply an optimized version of their game engine. I would hate to have to look for the guru again. Hate this fucking guy.

And finally a game that moves my venerable 7600 firmly into the antiquated category. And just after I'd finally decided not to bother upgrading.

Oh well, after my experience with Tages on Clear Sky (ie 90% of the crashes and all the save game corruptions disappearing when Tages went bye bye) it's a wait for a stable 'patch' buy in any case.

i like gothic 1 but never replayed it. i got gothic2 from gog, but never played cross the first "level/town"....passed on gothic3. this could be used to start anew in a "similar" universe, I'll wait for a pc review.

Let's just hope that the system requirements are lower than Gothic 3, since that game was unplayable on an 8800GT and 3GB RAM.

Maybe you don't care, but I'd like to apologize. I should not have said what I said.

For some reasons, I don't trust official system requirements.

You must have something weird going on behind the scenes. It ran perfectly fine with my 8800GTS and 2GB of ram back in the day.
