Gothic Gothic 1 Remake from THQ Nordic

[sosmoflux]

Doing a making of in advance is extremely bold, especially for a touchy game like Gothic.

Comments and reactions look promising.

I dare not start to hope.

Sure as hell do not pre-order this.

Alkimia & THQ Nordic are owned by Embracer Group. This company is responsible for pushing diversity & inclusion quotas on developers. KCD2 is one such recent example. Warhorse was acquired in 2019, one year after they released KCD1.

Wait until release and see if it is infection free.

Apparently they have a mod active on steam forums. He reveals some info about the game now and then.

We will have different move sets for different types of weapons as well (swords and axes for instance). So not only 1h, 2h will have differences, but also 1h sword will have some changes compared to 1h axe.

This feature with axe passing happens only with an axe, but not with a sword.

We will give an access to magic in remake to players earlier, than it is in original.

The modification "The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos" isn't canon, but just an incredible modification.

We appreciate the work of the Chronicles Of Myrtana team for their creativity and dedication to the Gothic community.

In Gothic 1 Remake we will expand the game in different directions, as well as the stories and backgrounds of some characters, whose roles in the original game were not so significant.

There will be different body types, heights, sizes etc. It is all work in progress still.

Is mantling in the game or is freeform exploration not one of the pillows of the game according to the devs.

 

[sosmoflux]

We saw cliff scaling in the trailer which is worrying as that means exploration might be more restricted to pre designed places and less freeform

Gothic series is the god father of 3rd person western style rpg. It looks dark, dull, ugly, drab, gloomy and every characters look like neanderthal.

I mean, Gothic already had several black guys, and if they added some new lines for the game's female "characters" it would honestly be an improvement. The fact that all they said in the original was "you're not allowed to talk to us" was a bit dull. What are you expecting, a fourth faction camp of jews and gypsies you have to save from a pogrom like KCD2?

Probably the only thing we'll see is more black characters which isn't a problem because even in the original there was Thorus and Gorn who were quite important.
If anything it will be more realistic. Where else would you find a lot of black people if not in prison?

I fear they may take a more "mature" approach with the remake. I like the lighthearted tone of the original, where there are tons of killing and weed, yet no nudity, excesive gore, or hard swearing. It's a very charming balance.

There was nudity in the OG but it was censored in the international version. There was a pinup you could buy/steal from the cartographer and a naked chick bathing in Gomez' chambers.

They'll insert a bunch of alphabet people. Probably make a few pre-existing characters into cocksuckers - let's hope not.

They'll insert a bunch of alphabet people

And still not make all characters killable at any time.

^ Xardas tower I assume

 

[notpl]

I would guess Xardas's tower? The scale of it feels a bit absurd, though. Xardas is still a prisoner inside the barrier, he doesn't live in a palace.

The guy can build an entire tower in one day.

I've never played any of the Gothic games, but have always heard about them. I watched this video last year and knew the remake wouldn't have anything like what's in the cutscene at around 2:39 included now. After what happened with KCD2 I'm afraid about what maybe else has changed/been added too. Hopefully the remake is good and does the original some justice.

Care to elaborate on that?

I've never played any of the Gothic games,

And why are you posting on an internet forum instead of rectifying that mistake?

Hopefully, if there's any indecency in the remake, our resident modder Berzee will make one of his modesty mods and correct the situation.

​

He's already made one for the original gothic.

Because I'm a console pleb and never played games on PC. I don't even own one anymore either. Even if I did I would be too lazy and too much of an noob with computers to probably get something like Gothic running properly sadly. I know it isn't exactly hard to do as you just follow the guides etc. In all I guess I'm sorry for not being some PC gamer who has been on this site for many years.
