I know they did a small Elder Scrolls side-game for the N-Gage (go figure), and I believe they are currently developing the next game in the main series (Elder Scrolls 4), though the latter is assumption.

The Co-Op issues... |

I have to say: No co-op = fuck you developers.
Even though this add-on will/may have co-op in it, that means I would have to buy 2x the software (original game + add-on) to get the experience I should have gotten with the first.
I know I'm pretty bitter about this, but no thanks assholes.

"...normal staff reduction associated with the completion of the pair of game projects that were underway at ION.."
No industry should have "normal staff reductions". That's complete bullshit, and I will openly boycott any company that ditches it's development teams as expendable. Even a dev team that makes a shitty game doesn't deserve that. Ion Storm and Eidos can kiss my fucking ass.
(I know that was more or less already said, but I had to add my opinion about it, albeit with more foul language and finger-pointing.)

Actually the only reason the upgrade past Win98 is probably because Microsoft is forcing everyone. Win98 SE is one of their most stable and safe OS's. Not to mention it doesn't spy on every move you make and hog tons of hard drive space and RAM.
There is a certain beauty to efficiency and simplicity, and Win98 is a great OS for both. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad. I think more intelligent PC users would probably agree with that, as opposed to having "the next greatest thing" in the spirit of better, faster, more... etc. etc.

"Funny how a console defined as 'ill-fated' by last years standings is hammering the shit out of the today's industry."
But the console isn't hammering the shit out of todays industry, it's the developers. They're busily driving the nails into their own coffins and don't even realize it because they can smell nothing but money from the direction they run.

Well, I doubt I'll be downloading this due to the size. That's kind of rediculous. However, I took a gander at the screenshots and don't quite understand what you're talking about with the ground textures. Terrain seemed to be fine. Are you guys playing the same game?

"doesnt "24MB = crap" anyways?"
Not really. You can fit a lot of *gameplay* into 24 MB. I think it just means that there are no rediculous FMVs and intro-cutscenes packaged with it, and frankly I'm quite sick of spending 20 minutes to download some stupid companies 5-minutes-of-play-time-but-20-minutes-of-intro-animations "demos".

"So far the only really immature poster here is #26."
While he might be immature for spouting off about piracy, it's a real problem that wouldn't happen so frequently if developers didn't shaft their customers so much.
There is a lot of evidence here that Ion Storm is favoring the Xbox and all but ignoring the PC crowd. I'm not even certain why they are releasing it on PC at all.
Blatant piracy aside, I myself will download this game. If I like it, I will buy it. If I don't, I will delete it. It's very simple, and everyone wins. Why should we not protect ourselves from losing $50 when we're not given a demo to try it out, nor allowed to return the merchandise if it's purchased in the first place? I don't think "stealing" from companies is right at all, but really don't favor the same companies having all the cards in their hand.

"I'm just loving the maturity level in here. Awesome!!!"
Ah, what does maturity have to do with it, really? You get a bunch of people who've been screwed over and pissed off, they scream and yell a lot.  That's pretty much the case.
We've already heard from several people months ago that there are already many similarities in design between this game and Deus Ex 2. I am not getting my hopes up.
Not to mention, for those of you who don't know any better, all media sources are more or less game-publishers bitches. They try their best to walk the line, but when it comes down to it 100% of these people will still put spin on an otherwise crappy game because the sales are good for the industry, and the publishers reward them in the end. Don't read too much into any reviews unless they come from someone you trust.

"English voice acting was done in London"
You are breaking my heart man. I did not need to hear that.
I hadn't realized so many people also bought it overseas after waiting so long. I wonder if that impacted US sales that much and caused Atari to think it wasn't a good seller (I am not certain of sales #s on this, so it might have not been a good seller anyways, if that's possible).
Foolish, foolish publisher. If we don't get the third game because of this I'd go balistic. Here's hoping for the best...
And to those guys who were not happy with the controls in the series. Generally the displeasure from that comes from misunderstanding. When I first played it as well I though "Where the hell is my WASD and strafing, hacking, action?" The developers wanted to eliminate the circle running and jumping around, and bring the combat down to a face to face fight. (Because people in a sword fight don't really try to run circles around each other). Once I realize that a developer is trying to do something different, I can mentally abandon my preconceived expectations and go with thier flow. If you try the game again with an open mind, don't try to play it like your general third-person action game and see what I'm talking about. You definitely won't regret it.

Gothic is one of my favorite RPGs. Atari was a bunch of cocks with the second game because it was out in english for months and months before the US release. I ended up buying it from a UK distributer and getting my fill long before Atari even released it in the US. Was total BS, so I'm not surprised they are being cocks on the add-on. I was really hoping to play it...
I agree though, german voices and english text would be perfectly acceptable by me. The only glaring issue would be that the add-on takes place during the main mission (you have to start a new game to play the add-on content), and effects existing quests and NPCs. I could see myself playing through the game again, and when I hit upon new content the NPCs would switch from speaking english to german in one conversation... Would be rather interesting.

That "preview" was so full of GameSpy-brand-bullshit it's not even funny. I think I even heard the sound of an Eidos guy pulling his hand out of the puppet-like-Gamespy reviewers ass at the end.
I hope no one takes any of that shit seriously. This game sucks.

Considering how many Origin games I own, I conclude you to be completely insane.
