What's best about this is it seems they're sticking to the old content, but also supplementing it with new. A welcome addition, because there's a lot of unutilised and underutilised areas in G1.
It also looks like they scaled down the world to be more closer to the original in size, the teaser was unnecesarily large.
Not gonna preorder, but it might be a first week buy for me.
yeah i'm a big fan of that too, since Ultima 7... Best experience when it comes to that i've had is with Oblivion. Obviously with tons of mods... if this comes close to that it would be awesome, but i very much doubt it. I doubt we'll see other adventurers (like yourself) in the world etc.
I remember in some Gothic (/Risen) game being bullied / thrown out from some camp or town, like a ragged poor peasant with no armor and a stick as a weapon.
And then returning later as champion, max armor, upgraded weapons, bad ass one-hitting everyone.
That's fucking progression and character development! You know... just like... in real life...
Other thing i noted is there is a knock back effect when you get hit now looks like which would save you from getting mobbed to death in seconds by scavengers.
Honestly looks pretty good, graphical style is excellent
edit: saw people complain about the colors, well i dont remember G1 being colorful.. G2 is the one that had a lot more lush forests etc. Although G1 had the swamp. I do agree the questlog with the check boxes are shit and the UI is too clean and lacking flair but it's still a modern game and this is the current style of our times.
the colors are good. G1-G2 are very cartoony. G3 much less so and it's G3 they should also look at (for graphics) because its a more modern game and how the devs realized Gothic when they had better budget, engine, more experience etc.
i realized in the demo you don't play the nameless hero, that's why he has a different hair/look.
Look man, what kind of idiots design such way of controling the character / especially in combat?! They never been in a damn fight?! They never studied any kind of martial art?!
Just read they will not be "modernizing" the game by pushing agendas. So the penal colony for male convicts will not get suddenly turned into a lgbtqwertyz camp for mentally ills.
I think at this point of development it might be too late to drastically change the tone.
I hope.
Oh and they really are planning on filling in the gaps, which I have no problems with. Gothic is great, but by Beliar does it have a lot of unfinished areas.
some news, these things sound especially good (translated from polish or whatever it was):
Quote:
NPC daily routines have been expanded. Even animals have daily routines. The core idea is to create the illusion of a functioning world. Characters, for example, go to the mine and will tell you this when asked, and you can encounter them on their way there.
NPCs also react to the weather; for instance, they will take shelter under a roof when it rains.
The four friends will be more developed, and a connecting moment will be added in the remake so that the player can experience more shared events with them.
The soundtrack has been expanded, but it does not contain any synthetic elements and is more authentic. It is now more dynamic than the original, described by Kai as "livelier with more ups and downs."
Burning torches can be stuck into the ground, allowing for free hands.
Locations have been expanded logically: for example, the trading post now has a sleeping area for guards, as it makes sense that they would stay overnight there and not return to the Old Camp every night. After all, the trading post is also fortified with a gate.
The original voice actors will be used for the new voiceovers (dubbing) of the characters, but not all have been confirmed to be available yet.
Cooking is expanded with food recipes
More demo gameplay (hope they release the demo publicly)
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
