  • Deep Silver veröffentlicht heute den neusten Trailer zu Risen. Untermalt wird dieser mit dem Song „The Poet and the Pendulum von der weltweit erfolgreichsten Symphonic/GOTHIC Metal Band Nightwish....is ja alles schön und gut aber wann lernen die leute dass es symphonic metal is....nix gothic -.-

  • Great game, epic song.

  • Great Game

    Gothic 1-3 perfect Games with Risen.

    Arcania will SUCK, Fuck of Jowood.

    Arcania looks like shit and Arcania will be shit

  • Risen is like one of the best games ever, along with the Gothics. (even G3 with cp1.74 is a very decent game) - I finished Risen so many times. Then Dragon Age came out. Watching this just made me want another Risen run so here I go!

  • this game is good, but nothing in compare to gothic (sry for my english)

  • decent game awesome song.

  • Song rocks, game sucks!

  • Hmm this game looks cool only found this vid through the Nightwish official site and I thought a game trailer with NW music may as well take a look. Can anyone tell me when its out and if its on PS3 looks cool like a darker version of Oblivion. Oh and is the gameplay like a normal RPG (LOTR the 3rd Age) or is it more like Oblivion/Fallout3 in gameplay style. I can already tell its 3rd person but is it like alot of confusing options in a fight or just a simple button press. please tell me.

  • @kingkong381 Have you played Gothic? Than you know Risen. The game is very good if you look the gameplay from gothic.

  • The song seems a bit glued together, doesn't seem to run as smoothly as it could...

  • it isn't the original song, this is modified

  • Oh, okay then. Fair enough. Still think the song is stronger than the trailer itself!

  • this game sucks >_>

  • Gnnnn... with quite a bit of the audience having played Gothic II and already heard The Poet and the Pendulum, the trailer somewhat feels "puzzled together". I would've used Folk Metal or something.

    Immediately, the Sacred II trailer comes to mind as competition. Against that one, which uses an original song and actually has the music fit in, this one really isn't too good.

    Though probably, Goth... errrrr Risen, sorry ;) is the better game.

  • This seems like your classic medieval hack and slash. I've been waiting for a game that doesn't look like its light filters were run through dirty mop water. This actually looks like a good game.

  • LOL everyone who writes bad comments about the game has never played it and with this video u cannont nearly imagine how the game really is ! Dont write ur fucked up bad comments before u have played the game cause its one of best games since gothic 1 & 2 !!!

    Look in the sell charts of Saturn(german Electronic market). Its three days after release the best sold game there (even the collectors edition is sold very good)!!! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!

  • lmao, so just because some1 doesnt think the same as you do it means they are morons?

    and just because it SOLD good it doesnt mean its a good game..i'd say any game from blizz (this is just an example, so dont say anything like: its not blizz which created this) would easily top best seller, its all about marketing the game. Imo, your the moron here :)

  • you and some other people who dont like these games have 2 write their comments here. the most people who like the game are not interested in mind of 0.01% (like u) so they dont even answer and i wont answer again 2 u retarded piece of shit

  • thats true most dumbass who writes comments here didnt even see the game and they just have to put their stupid comments here so everyone should think they are experts on games...so fuck you all and to respond on Dumbullen yeah blizzard has better games than this is but i cannot simply think of ANY other company with better game recently..look at the shit in the shops now..fifa XX always the same and pro evolution soccer as well...and not to mention really big shits like Mortyr omg..Risen rocks

  • @Dumbullen I agree, most gamers buy a game based on a variety of factors and, in the end, the game may, or may not, be any good or may appeal to a very small market. I tried playing Rappelz based on the ads but was never able to get into the game.

  • Hatte mir direkt zu Release die Collectors Edition gekauft und ich suchte das game nur noch! Super geil! Ebenbürtiger (inoffizieller) Nachfolger zu Gothic 1 & 2... Risen ist das bessere Gothic 3 eben^^

  • very good song... not so good game

  • NIGHTWISH !!! NIGHTWISH!!!

    geilste Band ever

  • Der beste Trailer den ich bisher kenne für mich. Dieser Trailer baut stimmung auf ohne ende vorallem mit dem Nightwish schon, da haben die ENtwickler, zum glück, voll einen rausgehauen. Bessere Musik wahl hätte es nicht geben können. Alle Daumen hoch, freue mich auf dieses Spiel wie ein kleines kind aufn en schokoriegel :D

  • i feel like the game is more of a trailer for nightwish than nightwish is a trailer for the game.

  • really? this is right this is a game trailer not a nightwish trailer

  • true but I found this on the bans site. game still looks cool though but its Nightwish thats pulled me in honestly if NW help endorse it I tend to like it lol.

  • @kingkong381 They may have only licensed the music, it may not be an endorsement. Unlike how SA is trying to create a Winterheart's Guild game.

  • Nightwish is linking directly to this preview, so who knows?

  • Song isnt stictched together properly

  • well atleast it has GFW cert. which means atleast it isn't filled with annoying bugs and so on, but I don't think this game is too original, we'll see...

  • Both game and song seem epic.

  • I'm excited that they used a Nightwish song, but I agree that the game doesn't seem worthy enough.

  • You're right, the game doesn't seem like it's good enough. They couldn't even keep up with the pace of the song.

  • Fable-esque?

  • This game is not epic enough to use this song!

  • geile scheiße! kann man da nur noch sagen! geile welt geiles flair, coole sprüche und stimmige musik. kurz ein perfektes spiel mit wenigen bugs die sowieso nmd stören der gothic fan ist bzw. war! ich werde mir das game auf jedenfall ORGINAL zulegen um Piranja Bytes zu unterstützen. Macht weiter so Jungs!

  • Too bad they sold the use of their song to such a crapy looking game.

  • I used this song in a school movie project. Its so film-like and awsome. Hollywood should definently recruit Nightwish for some soundtrack work.

  • I agree that the cuts are bothersome, but they had to use them, otherwise it would be a 14 minute trailer.

  • hey wird das überhaupt ins englische übersetzt also in usa und so rauskommen ??? naja die ganze vertonung der gepräche und so ..... :D bin schon nen bisschen stolz dass es von deutschen entwicklern ist, glaube aber dass das game nicht die verdiente anerkennung außerhaslb deutschlands kriegen wird

  • As a Nightwish Fan !I were linked to this Vid by their homepage. The game doesn't really seem to be interesting for me... but nevertheless the background-song right here is great^^

    (If you know the song pretty good like me, it's just disturbing to hear those cuts between, where the music suddenly breaks and gets replaced by other scenes :}

  • That last cut at the end was pretty sweet though.... :)

  • I agree. Maybe it's just those who have listened to the songs like 100+ times, but the cuts sound a lot more obvious than I expected. not to mention I expected there'd me more songs incorporated, or at least some background noise from the song. it seems rather amateurish

  • The details on the buildings are awesome! NIGHTWISH #1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i WAS gonna buy this game but In Australia they just had to friggin ban the game. PEOPLE LIVING IN AUSTRALIA THE GAME HAS BEEN BANNED!!

  • download from a torrent site for pc

  • very good music choice :p

  • OMG! I wanna play this soooo bad! And I am glad they chose Nightwish to pick some music from. Great choice!

  • Why isn't it for PS3... It looks cool and the music is definately great :D

  • Gothic 3 was an epic and beautiful game. I hope Risen will be at least as good as that! =) (And I think it. =))

  • Nightwish music? I would buy this game just for that reason!

  • AGREE!

  • @orlibloom4 Agree :D

  • Just from this trailer, a lot of you say you are going to buy this game. Do you even know what it is or what it's about?

  • Have to buy.

    And, it was like Tuomas maded TPATP to this trailer :)

  • Be-autiful! Gonne give this game a try :)

    They picked the right sound, Nightwish rocks ;D

  • Fucking epic trailer!! im so buying this game now! i love nightwish, tuomas is a genius he composes and writes his songs so well.

  • What kind of game? Video? Ps2? :F

  • first time ive seen nuclear blast on a game cover!

  • Music from Nightwish

    Publisher is Deep silver

    ok i buy this game

  • wow <3!!

  • gave me chills

  • GREAT

  • Vader in "Witcher" was better. Watch "Vader - Sword of The Witcher"

  • wow, No more Ragnarok Online for me =)

  • finally its used in a trailer, this song was far too good to just stay on the album

  • The music is too good for the video! lol. Adrenaline-pumped music to the riveting sight of... farming scenery...

  • Mm hmm. It needed more action.

  • reminds me of the game Oblivion

  • this game sees fucking amazing!... principally because its music =D.. of the best fucking symphonic metal band!!..

    i can't wait more to buy this game!

  • Land scape graphix are good........Nightwish is my second favorite band next to Rush.....and its guna be good on the 360

  • Reminds me a bit of Sacred 2, where Blind Guardian made the soundtrack ^^ But the game seems to be good, hope it won't be that expensive -.-

  • It's well known that Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish's main songwriter) is heavily inspired by film music. The use of his "magnum opus" in this trailer really showcases that to great effect. One wonders if the soundtrack will feature more Nightwish music.

  • Nightwish and rpg... man Im definely going to buy this game

  • Whoot whoot NIGHTWISH!!!  \m/

  • they totally cut out Anettes singing, lol

  • could be the instrumental vers. Singing in a trailer can be distracting as well :P

  • It isn't an instrumental version. Hear at 0:30, Anette's singing :D

  • It's a boy singing there, that's too high for Anette. You can see him somewhere in the early videoblog of Nightwish, when they were recording DPP.

  • Oh ehm.. ehm.. Fuck..

    Hokay but there's still SOMEONE singing. :D

  • that's a boy singing i watched it on a "making of" video

  • Lol, well, it isn't a music video.

  • reminds me of gothic somehow and i do think appelsipod is right, other music would have been better, but its still okay. love the track, btw :D

  • well the game seems to be cool and the music is cool to but it don´t matchs maybe another song would be better

  • Watched this video because I love Nightwish but I dislike everything Microsoft.

  • do u have anything against Microsoft?

  • Nightwish <3 Only reason why I looked at this video. =D

  • After Gothic 3 with more bugs than features i'm not touching anything from Pyranha Bytes

  • this games is just the of Oblivion

  • Will the game contain nightwish songs? If so I'll buy 3 copies!!

  • according to the nightwishsite only poet and the pendulum. wouldve been awesome thoufgh:P

  • 1:21 and on... "EPIC!!!!"

    The other part before 1: 21 was ok... but the game didn't look as epic as the song.

  • and P.S. the game looks really cool although the editing of the video to go along with the song could have been better but I think the song fits it very well.

  • Colonna sonora grandiosa speriamo che il game si all'altezza delle aspettative.

    Anker, curioso e impaziente........

  • That's what you call effin' sweet! Can't wait. Another kick-ass game with a kick-ass track from one of the better bands out there.

  • Everyone seems to have watched this video because Nightwish's song is used, not because of the game itself lol :)

  • Comment removed

  • That's called good promotion. :P

  • Yea .... I actually never heard of the game xD But it doesn't look bad. Just hope it's not 360-only -.-

  • It'll be released on 360 and PC

  • thats a fucking tuneeeeeeeee

  • Why on Earth would you be upset that a band you like is being enjoyed by other people?

    What do you care about more? Their music, or the fact that you're 'special' for liking them?

  • Optronyx..unfortunately alot of people think that when a band becomes too popular or "mainstream" that their music will change to keep the masses happy instead of their loyal fans..and by doing so they are no longer good or different which is completely untrue. Same thing has happened to numerous bands a good example would be Metallica..Seems to me that the band really has nothing to do with who likes them.

  • Nightwish ftw

  • I first thought it was similar to Dungeon Siege. It does not look too shabby. I am a little disappointed that Nightwish is becoming so mainstream, but such is life.

  • well i now know what game ill be getting this fall

  • I almost wana buy the game just because they used Nightwish in their trailer. o.o

  • THAT IS FAN FUCKING TASTIC! I'm so happy for Nightwish and their success! <3 True, now they will be more known and popular and their shows will be HARDER to get into, but I am still happy for them deeply!

    -Lochness

  • just Panings? you used one of the most epic songs and you just added PANNINGS?

  • I will surely buy it!

  • I've grown up playing RPG's, so I'll probably end up getting this for the 360 when it comes out. I love the trailer for it though!

  • This poorly edited video makes no justice to such an amazing song. The music just doesn´t fit in it. It makes the game look utterly boring and the song loses intensity.

  • Awesome song, I don't care what anybody else thinks. Nightwish is unfailingly epic.

  • Nightwish rules the world man! They really are the best!

  • The trailer is underwhelmed by the music. The song is amazing, just a poor choice by the software company to put next to a less than epic game trailer.

  • sieht gut aus und das Lied ist eh total geil!

  • it's not the weakest by far!

    Part 4 of Poet And The Pendulum is far from it!

    If you think the whole of Poet And The Pendulum is weak, then you have hardily heard any Nightwish!

  • Of course, I've been listening to Nightwish for as long as I can remember with them being one of my favorite bands, but just because I disagree with your opinion I mustn't have heard anything by them! Brilliant logic there. I agree it has it's epic moments, but the song feels like it's just trying too hard to be 'epic' and it fails both lyrically and musically, despite the occasional couple minutes that prove to be an exception here and there.

  • Awesome!!! Can't wait till it comes out :)

  • amazing video the game looks alot like Fable

  • die musik ist nicht schlecht auch wenn ich anette eigentlich nicht ausstehen kann...^^

    aber die Grafik für die 360 ist ja miserabel

  • Great music!!! Ehhh... but not so great game..

  • YESSSSSSS!!!!! This is so awesome my fave NW song!!!!!

  • *goosebumpshiver*

    Damn. This looks excellent. Great song choice too |D

  • Wow...that's one bad trailer...overpowering music, boring shots, no action and repetition of the same boring shot as part of the awful editing...in sound and video. Invest some money into a real trailer - I won't buy this game despite NWs great music.

  • ehhhhhhhhhh.... It's only for 360 and PC booo!! What about PS3. And YAAAAAAAAAAAAY Nightwish!!!

    Iove them soooo MUCH

  • nightwish is just awesome.... no other band could ever be better...hope my english is okay :D

  • Totally agree! NIGHTWISH ROCKS!!! :D

    And by the way, your English is fine! I'm a native speaker and I understand perfectly! :)

  • für mich is es das eigentliche Gothic 4. Allein schon der type hat so viel ähnlihckeit mit dem "Ich", also der Hauptfigut aus Gothic

  • OMD DAS KAUF ICH MIR!

  • Comment removed

  • I must say, these graphics are the best I've seen in game trailers in a few weeks. Looks really promising. Can't wait for the demo.

  • im only gonna play it because of nightwish

  • LOL

    nice

    i wanna play cuz this does look pretty fun....but i admit great song of choice lol

  • ja also die musik ist ja mal am besten, oder ?? NIGHTWISH 4EVER !!!!

  • COOOOOOOOOOOOL :D

  • That's a fairly lame trailer. It's not too bad I guess, but a) there was at least one TERRIBLE cut of the song, b) you can't have dramatic music with long shots of people standing around doing nothing and c) the music does not seem to fit the visuals at all. The game looks to be set in some semi-tropical area, when the start of Poet always makes me think of winter. Okie dokie, /rant. ^__^;;

  • I totally agree with what you said here..big music like Poet should be put to a LOT of action in order for it to be done justice. I always thought of it as a wintery song as well :)

  • Das wurde ja auch von Piranha Bytes mitentwickelt :D

  • Oh i see my answer in the end of the vid. Sorry :D

  • It looks very nice. Does anyone know when it will release in Germany ?

    I´m very sorry for my bad english. I hope you can understand it :) .

  • Die Grafig sieht für mich stark nach Gothic aus!!

  • es wird auch sehr an gothic 1+2addon erinnern ;)

  • I LOVE "THE POET AND THE PENDULUM"!!!!

  • Nightwish rules. ANyway, what kind of game will RIsenn be? An RPG? MMORPG? Or RTS?

  • Du hast anscheinend keine Ahnung von irgendwas -.-

    Bob!

  • Wenn Nightwish kein Metal ist, was dann?

  • Nightwish isn't wannabe metal, your just jalouse they used the best band ever and not Inextremo.

  • oh, du bist soo true!!!

  • das eine hat mit dem anderen nix zu tun.

    und 1:14 wird die atmosphäre völlig zerstört...was ich damit sagen will ist das die musik hier völlig unangebracht ist.

  • generell is des lied einfach gruselig zusammengeschnitten und meinetwegen auch unangebracht. aber für mich ist es trotzdem kein wannabe-metal.

  • Game looks like shit, but nightwish rulez.

  • The game looks a lot like Fable regarding the graphics. Awesome choice of music tho!

  • Music is the best obtainable... game is still a thing of future, but acutally it reminds Gothic very strongly. =)

  • symphonic metal is right, neither gothic metal.

  • Game sucks but Nightwish rulez! Woooohoooo!!!

  • did you play it, that you can say it sucks?

  • Well, the graphics look terrible.

  • aggreed and i dont even think the nightwish track goes to the gameplay well

  • Nice Trailer! Wow theyve even putted it on their site! I love the song youve chosen to put in this video. Well congratz man!

  • Tuomas everywhere!!!!

  • great trailer with very great music!

  • ich hoffe mal es wird so ungefär ein gothic 3 ohne bugs und ruckler *_*

  • mit der selben storydichte? ne danke, ich hätte lieber eher ein g2
