Don't judge a game by its boxart.

or a really stupid tagline.
Agreed there.
At least they are not aiming for a console release as they are developing right now (they are not, right?). They will have to be really fucked up shitbags to come up with a game that's only for PC at the moment but still retain more consoleish elements with dumbed down content and mechanics.

'A nameless hero becomes a legend'
Outch that one hurts. Even some antiquated line like 'The final chapters' could do better there (it would at least fit to that book sheme)
When do people finally start to be more creative?

I'm a bit disturbed by the fact that an image of English boxart is released first. Isn't this even US-specific? No telling if the German one won't be the same, of course.
I'd have expected it to feature the image of Xardas looking all villain-y, though. They use it everywhere else.
Here's hoping this is the publisher's work.

CD, prolly US box art.
I'd actually love to see Todd & Goons getting company by those nice gentlement from Jowood.
"Hi, I'm Todd Howard, and Oblivion is the coolest..."
"Shut The fuck up female and get me some more drink! HAHAHARRRR"

well i dont really believe its real ,could be photoshopped , and yeah tagline is a bit cheesy ,well i wonder how if the german tagline will be the same , "Ein Namenloser Held wird zur Legende" sounds not so bad . but thats just marketing crap , i believe in these guys they have proven me more than once that they are able to produce kickass games ,unlike bethesda....
Well, it'd have been more correct to say "He didn't become a legend before."
Of course, there was no need to be a prick about it, but that's the point of being a dumbfuck, I guess.
I believe I don't have any game box that looked really similar. More specifically, I don't believe any game I possess was ever sold in a similar box.
Some may come close, but were sold in a colourful wrapper. They don't count.

I think the problem is how closely it mimics Oblivion's box in style. Despite differences, the style really isn't so common that you could simply dismiss it as coincidence.Kraszu said:

I think it looks a bit bland, but I don't care that it has the same layout as Oblivion's

At least G3 won't have a stonehenge twat on the cover.

In this case I have to choose Oblivion's "Live another life, in another world" over Gothic 3's theme

Oh come on, that's more of a Sims 3 tagline. Or, obviously, an mmo.
"-Did ya hear that one legend, about this guy right?"
"-Huh.. Whua? Mein herren?"
"-Shh... Listen! D'ya hear this legend... Shit. Hast die gehören einer legend about dieser guy with keine name?"
"-Raus alle juden!"
and then it's all Ia Drang 1967 all over again.

Well, I'd hope that after Gothic, the devs would make a large sandbox RPG in the tradition of old RPGs letting you loose in a fantasy world. I don't really see it happen, though.
Gothic IS a story-driven RPG, continues to be so, and it's not exactly wrong. I mean, Gothic 3's scenario would probably lend itself much better to the "live another life" theme than Oblivion's immenent-not-so-imminent threat scenario. It just doesn't make sense to "live your life" during an invasion by demons, while it would during an occupation.
That isn't what the developers aim for however, you are the Hero, you do heroic shit. I wonder how the "don't side with anybody" plot will work out, though.
