Teaser Trailer:
 
If it's going to be anything like the 2 previous games in the series, Diablo is probably a more accurate comparison than Dragon Age is. Personally I'm not overtly excited about this. The first 2 were decent enough, but really nothing groundbreaking.

I really think the idiots at Square shot themselves in the foot when they said that we'd be blown away and then announced this.
 
Not to mention that they're bringing a PC game to a console. The first two played like Diablo, and the console port to that wasn't all that great. I can imagine them completely fucking over gameplay on this to make things easier for console gamers.
 
I recently re-played (and finally finished) Dungeon Siege, it had so-so combat and the graphics certainly won't impress many, but something about the world design and layout kinda struck me, i played more because i wanted to explore "that next area" then really much else, i guess you could say thet DS had a really brilliantly designed gameworld that was actually fun to explore. Legends of Aranna, the expansion added a few nice touches, but ultimately it was just that "an expansion", nothing very impressive.

Now i'm playing through DSII and it honestly feels stripped down, like if they sacrificed the game world's design in order to implement combat thats more exicitng and prettier visuals. It's fun, but can't really compare to the original.

I'm actually looking forward to DSIII, not because it's an "OMG, i need to have that game as soon as it's out", but more like "It'll be interesting to see how this turns out". If Obsidian can at least nail the exploration aspect i liked about DS, they'll be on the proper track to making a fantastic game, but if it devolves into another Diablo clone.....bleh.

Yep, that’s what I said. Now, before you go on yelling and screaming saying I haven’t yet finished the full game or that I’m a well known Obsidian fanboy, hear me out.

Over the past few months I’ve spent a considerable amount of time with Dungeon Siege III on several occasions. Not once did it freeze, crash or glitch out. Not once were there animation issues, not once were there any texture issues, not once did I go “ooooooh they’re gonna have to fix that for retail.”

Obsidian Entertainment has a well earned reputation for making well written and engaging role playing games that sadly suffer from an abundance of bugs, and a lack of polish in comparison to other games in the genre they know so well. Their last two efforts, Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas, were both praised for their role playing elements and storytelling, but nearly universally panned for their buggyness and overall lack of polish.

That Ain't Right...

So, why should you think Dungeon Siege III will be any different? What makes you think it’s not just going going to be another flawed Obsidian game that “could have” been a classic.

Well, for starters, they’ve got their own engine now. Obsidian’s new Onyx Engine is capable of both stunning visuals and smooth gameplay. It makes it easy to build worlds and create deep and branching quest narratives in both isometric and full 3d environments. Quite frankly, it’s perfect for RPGs.

Behold some HD gameplay totally not recorded by me (I’d never die that much or skip dialogue!)


You should take note of the smooth animations, detailed textures, lovely shadows, dynamic lighting and impressive water and fire effects first off, as well as the great detail put into making the inventory and ability menus as streamlined and easy to use as possible. Did I mention there’s also practically no loading screens? Yeah, that’s a pretty nice feature too.

Don’t believe me? The Dungeon Siege III demo is available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 right now. Go play it yourself, then come back and tell me I’m wrong. Tell me this is going to be another unpolished and buggy “could-have” been great RPG from Obsidian, I’ll be waiting here to tell you I told you so.​

Update#1

In keeping with the release of Dungeon Siege III this Friday, the launch of Square Enix trailer shows the role-playing.

In Dungeon Siege III, the player assumes the role of a four legionaries in the disintegrating Ehb Kingdom and fight for his fallen comrades. The conflict is omnipresent and all decisions have far-reaching consequences, it is possible for the players to turn the tide of history. He can fight as a lone hero or on the side of up to three friends. And with advanced AI is also the co-op a seamless entry and exit possible without this affects the campaign or action to be interrupted.
