Gabriel Knight 2 The Beast Within Real Life Locations Tour

[GKFAN4LIFE]

Hi all,

First of all, many apologies for writing this thread in English as I'm afraid I don't speak German.

I'm a big fan of the Gabriel Knight series and I've done a series of videos visiting the real life locations featured in the FMV game the Beast Within (A Gabriel Knight Mystery).

I visited Germany in 2008 and also in 2009. I wanted to see what game locations I could find and how similar they are in 'real life'. I took my camera along and captured some of the simularities and differences. I also had a bit of fun at Gabriel and Grace's expense using some of the more random and funny quotes from the game throughout.

I thought I'd post the links here for anyone who might be familiar with or a fan of the game. Its been a lot of fun putting these together.

These are the final videos I've just completed and uploaded to youtube :

Grace spent about 3/4 of the game being rude to people...so I thought it was about time Gerde put Grace in her place....Footage is used from throughout the game to hopefully humourous effect...

Thx for the info and it's nice to see that you could complete your "munich-visitation-video-collection".

I've already watched some of your videos a few months ago and have been impressed that you found all these locations. I didn't even know, that all of the locations were real. I thought that some places, like the zoo, could have been in the US or somewhere else. I like GK2 too and I'm going to visit the places myself, if I get the chance to travel to munich-region. Haven't been there yet.

I watched the videos a few weeks ago - absolutely great stuff!
I visited some of the places myself years ago and I really enjoyed the feeling "being in GK2." It was a lot of fun to see how they sometimes changed reality for the game.
I'm especially impressed by your videos in Rittersberg because I didn't even know that this place really exists.
