The Making of Risen 2: Dark Waters – Part Three

This time, the focus is on character animations and motion capture:

The Risen 2 system requirements have been released.

They’re about what you’d expect from a title that targets both consoles and the PC: modest, easily something you could get running on a two or three year-old system.

Live in the United Kingdom? You can has a Risen 2 Collector’s Edition!

Live anywhere else? Eh…you’re out of luck.

the pirate RPG coming in April from Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver, is getting a collector’s edition in the UK only. We find that part a little strange, considering pirates are supposed to be pretty good at traveling overseas. Sorry; we had to.

The UK collector’s edition will include a “making of” DVD, a soundtrack CD, double-sided poster, pirate flag, amulet, art cards and three Risen 2 stickers, all for ?69.99. The UK version of Risen 2: Dark Waters drops anchor on April 27, while the US version drops April 24.

Note: RPGWatch expresses confidence that a US version of the Collector’s Edition will be released at some point, and that for now Deep Silver has just announced the UK release (presumably for reasons that make sense to them). I’m less sanguine about the possibility, since it’s not unheard of for publishers to limit the release of special editions (at least at launch) to particular regions. I am, after all, awaiting the arrival of Zygon Dragon’s copy of the Reckoning Limited Edition, which I will be forwarding to him in Spain.
