I didn't even know they were making this. I can barely remember the story, but hey, I'll be there.
I loved the original games, mainly for the visuals, the atmosphere, the world, characters and the story. Syberia 2 rounded off the story nicely but apparently this is a totally new story. The transition to 3D seems to have gone quite well (i imagine the budget isn't all that big).
It remains to be seen if Syberia 3 can recapture the spirit of the first two games but i'll buy day one for sure depending on reviews.
Edit: seems they got a new voice actor for Kate? Seems a shame.

I dunno, I actually liked Romansbourg and the Monastery, they had such a nice solitary feel to them. Also the latter part with the Youkol was quite fascinating. Forget it, the whole second game is great. It's just the ending that is a bit sudden.
Also, I'd be suprised if a large portion of Syberia 3 wasn't still among the Youkol in Syberia. ( The island, not Siberia,as a part of Russia)

Yes, I agree... and the second one had horrible puzzles too... Really did not like it nearly as much as the original (played them both on PS2).

I think it said somewhere that the voice acting was just a placeholder..
Honestly if they wanted to ditch the puzzles and make this into a straight 'walking simulator' that would be fine by me. What did it for me in Syberia was the atmosphere and story.

Finally, been waiting for a release date for like two years. I'm glad Microids took their time.

Physical release? Surprising, given it's been 12 years since the previous game...
I guess it would be fun to be a casual gamer who walks to the store and unexpectedly spots a sequel to that adventure game he played 10 years ago. Oh, internet has spoiled the world and its surprises for us.

I am so excited for this.
Sybera I and 2 hold a special place for me, one of my favorite adventure game series.
The world of them was just so unique and memorable and the story was quite emotional and heartfelt.
I kept waiting and waiting on this game. Since Microids went under I lost all hope, then they came back and announced this yeaaaars ago and went off the radar, I thought it was never going to happen.
Let alone if it did happen I assumed it would be done on a shoe-string budget and look like one.
I certainly did NOT expect the game to look like this, full 3d, actual up-to-date looking, animations and (thank god) a good quick running animation. Branching dialogue trees, lots of interacting with the environment and puzzles.
I can't believe it.

First off, this is what Lara Croft looked like when Syberia came out:
Kate Walker looked like this:
So it's actually the other way around, the newer TR games look more like Kate Walker.
As far as the puzzles and things go, it's in the video. There's puzzles and now branching dialogue choices that (at least according to the gameinformer article) can impact the story.

Pleasantly surprised with the games visuals compared to the original games, the budget surely can't be that big but they seem to be managing real time 3D pretty well.

It looks awesome. I absolutely love the music at the end of the video, too.

No new info about the game unless you haven't seen this Gamescom trailer yet. I just wanted to bump this to let new people know that now would be a good time to get into Syberia before it comes out in December. You can pick up Syberia I and II for $2 each on GOG.com for the next 18 hours.

Day one!
The Syberia games are some of my favourite, I love them.

Yup, that's Oscar.
The new footage looks great and I'll be getting this day one without fail. I played through Syberia 1 & 2 recently on PS3 and boy they're still janky as hell. I'm hoping for a much improved control scheme this time around.
Yep,the first was awesome...Oscar was great(played it in french).
Oh damn...oh well,whats a few months more after 12 years
That's a bummer.
Was really looking forward to playing this around the holidays.
Oh well. Take your time. Just glad to be getting another.

I actually have the first two on the regular XBox, but I've only played the first one for a couple of hours and have never played the second one!

Noooooo!
Hopefully it won't become Q2 and so on....
The project seems to be a bit ambitious for the budget they have but I'm really looking forward to it.
