Of course not. JoWood is merely restructuring its business. They decided
to concentrate on the genres they think they can fit best. RPG is one of
them so G III will definitely be released, In Germany at least... :)

Well, that's what concerns me, they never released the expansion for
Gothic II in US, and wonder if they'll get a Gothic III usa release.....

Actually I think this may be more a restructuring to focus on publishing
rather than development - I didn't even know JoWood _had_ any
development studios until I read that they were closing a couple of them
down.

Cheers!

I would not worry too much about the Piranhas... they are the table
silver of JoWood, they survived already the downfall of Phenomedia
(which they were a spinoff originally)

Dunno if they even 100% owned by JoWood or if they are a different
company with close ties to JoWood.

Every game of theirs had fantastic hype, and great intros but never
lived up to expectations. Arx Fatalis had so many bugs I could never get
it to run properly and then there was the awful Baldurs Gate rip off
with pigeon English dialogue.

All in all they were the classic maximum promise, minimum delivery
company the industry doesn't need !

well, I think Gothic 1 was very good , 8 out of 10, and Gothic 2
I'd say was 9 out of 10... those two games alone brought some good
gaming to many. Arx Fatalis was about a 7 out of 10 game, but
still was interesting , and I played it to the end.

you didn't like Gothic 1 or 2??

Compare them to Morrowind or Daggerfall !

They felt like converted console games and I never
felt that easy intuitive gameplay I get from Bethesda
games.

I prefer good old Ultima IX over Gothic.

The Gothics had "fantastic hype" and "didn't live up to
expectations"?!

The only way to have *less* hype for the Gothics would've been to
incarcerate everyone who mentioned them in Guantanamo.

I'd say Gothic is a little more rich in some areas and Morrowind is
richer in others. I never got that into Daggerfall...It was a little
TOO open ended...at least Morrowind had a main quest you could easily
follow.

> I prefer good old Ultima IX over Gothic.

GAH!!! Ultima IX better than either Gothic...are you sure you are
playing the right Gothics?
