Love me some jank ass Gothic.

 

[KyoZz]

Noice! It's cool to see demo making a comeback.

 

[Denton]

Nice, another European RPG that will show leftoid westoids how it's done

 

[Skifi28]

Let's see how bad it runs on my machine.

 

[Kurotri]

If you happened to miss it, they released a making of video 2 weeks ago:

Good stuff, you can tell they are passionate about it.

 

[Hudo]

Can someone explain to me why demos are only available for a limited time? Why?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Good, it's about time to see what's changed since the last time we've played the very early version. Hopefully they're aming for the second one as well, it won't take them as long to make since both games share some locations and parts of the map.

 

[DarkStream]

Dope. Gothic 1 and 2 are really underrated outside of Europe. So, so good.

 

[Labadal]

I'm not hopeful after their first try, but I will give it a shot.

 

[ahtlas7]

I never got into Gothic back in the day but willing to give the demo a go. I like the look of the remake.

 

[R6Rider]

Nice. I'll give it a try.

 

[Dazraell]

Someone did a comparison video between original game, Playable Teaser from 2019 and this demo

 

[Hohenheim]

Tried the demo for about 30 minutes. It felt quite bad.
Something feels off with the controls and it feels janky af.
Maybe coming right off from the smoothness of Black Myth made it feel worse than it could have been.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I know this is just a demo briefly available, but lame you can't invert mouse, not playable for me. I found out the ini could be edited, but eh..

 

[Diseased Yak]

Only demo, let alone game, that my UPS gave me a warning on too many watts being used...

 

[rubik's dude]

I found out the ini could be edited, but eh..

Can anyone really say they've truly played a Gothic game until they've resorted to editing the ini to make the game playable?

 

[bender]

Can anyone really say they've truly played a Gothic game until they've resorted to editing the ini to make the game playable?

That's my favorite mini-game in any game ever.

Alkimia Interactive Delves Into Its Approach To Art In The Gothic Remake

Alkimia Interactive delved into its approach towards the art style in the Gothic Remake in a new behind-the-scenes video.

wccftech.com

Ahead of the THQ Nordic Showcase that will take place at the beginning of next month, developer Alkimia Interactive has published its latest 'Making Of' video going behind the scenes on the development of the Gothic Remake, this time focusing on the studio's approach to the game's art style.

"We also decided very early on, we are not making an HD version of the art style of the original, that's not our goal," says the game director and studio head at Alkimia Interactive, Reinhard Pollice, at the top of the video. Pollice and the studio's art director, Daniel Candil, continue to elaborate on how they were working with opposing forces in developing this remake, as they wanted to make it look grounded and realistic, while also properly displaying the more fantastical and magical elements of Gothic.

Alkimia Interactive has even taken feedback from players who checked out the demo and committed to making several significant changes.

Currently, there's still no proper release date set for the Gothic Remake, though it's entirely possible that we'll finally learn of when it'll be on store shelves during the upcoming THQ Nordic Showcase in August.

Gothic Remake - Making Of #3

"Join the team at Alkimia Interactive and take a look behind the scenes of Gothic 1 Remake, diving deep into the challenges of reviving a cult classic RPG. From preserving the essence of the original, whilst setting Gothic 1 Remake up for a completely overhauled and overworked art vision"



------------------------

These guys seems to have the heart in the right place. Hope they took a long hard look at the feedback from the demo and deliver a great game.
