Oh my god. My deepest condolences for having to perform this cringe af ad. This is honestly one of the worst I've seen and I wonder what marketing team for this game thought while coming with this idea.

[@DivergentDroid]

Looking forward to the release of the project as it's my only option for more Gothic. I can't play Risen because there is not a native first person view nor is there any first person mods. Thankfully, I can play Gothic 3 in it's entirety in first person.

@@andreiznexus777 hard disagree, G3 ost is the masterpiece of Rosenkranz Pieces like "geldern night", "vista point" and others I still listen to today.

[@inquerion8867]

@@andreiznexus777 Soundtracks for all Gothic games are great. Even Arcania had some good songs. Maybe you just like G1 "dark" style more than "epicness" of G3 OST. Everyone likes different things. I like both soundtracks. "Epic" OST fits G3 very well.

[@Mario7p]

@@andreiznexus777 I played G2 and G1(G2 is the greatest game ever for me), but in terms of musical score no songs made me go back to listen to them standalone like the ones from G3, although those are also great. I listen to a lot of game and anime musics.(fields of ard skellig for example). The exploration music in G3 was just magical.

Thanks for making this great video and mentioning our project. We really enjoyed watching it.

[@ditats5766]

this is the game of my childhood. I have been following your work for a few years, and i am impressed by how much you have managed to do with this game. greetings from Poland!

[@vagabondNS]

I hope you will soon release your project. And we can finally enjoy in our favorite series. 😊

[@BiaLy23PoL]

I was... like 15 when i first heard about this project. Now im 28, and still waiting... xD

[@randomdude2026]

Yeah. I think the project was anounced 2010 or so. But the members changed and there is not much left from the early years. So "real developement" started much later.

[@k.corleone794]

i'm very excited for this project. The team deserves a lot of respect. Greetings from Italy

[@histhoryk2648]

I hope that CSP will be a Chronicles of Myrtana for Gothic 3 Seems like Gothic entered his new renaissance era

[@OldNerdPlayingOldPCGames]

5:02 It's probably true that I've always visited Nordmar before Varant, but that doesn't mean it can't be the other way around. How to keep the chapters chronology then? Am I misunderstanding something ? 5:45 OMG, a reunion with Greg would be an amazing experience. I hadn't even thought about it before. He was a meticulously designed character.

[@crygreg8484]

It is astonishing to me how you did your research. Very informative with a lot of proper sources and showcases. About 7:05 : It means that other settlements are mentioned and acknowledged in dialogue. Their connection to one another is explained as well (prior to losing the war and after it). There are also other things: For every major settlement / location we have concept documents that fill the places with NPCs, dialogues and even side quests if necessary. They also change a lot to make the world feel more lived in and dynamic. For example, Kent will now be in Montera before chapter 4 and only then he'll be moved in the forest near Okara. Then, you can choose to bring him back to Montera as a mercenary or hashishin. Just as an example. About 7:55 : Of course Vengard doesn't look as ruined as in the original but remember that a lot of it is still Work in Progress, all of that can and probably will still change. The city in its final state will still be in ruins, however a few buildings will still have survived (and even an entire part of town because the orcs didn't stage their attack from that side but I won't spoil anything specific now). Thank you for this video. Personally, I'm looking forward to future development updates from you and I'm sure the others from the team also are.

[@click4gameplay]

This just made me even more excited for the final product! Thanks a lot for clearing that up. All that extra info about the settlements is great, and those new quests sounds like it will definitely make the world more lived in. Can't wait to see more updates! Keep up the good work.

[@Awoken0]

Happy to see that people are still keeping the Gothic love alive.

[@TheAquarius87]

My mind is blown that this is even a thing! Excited to see what they make of it.

[@berni5843]

Oh man that sounds amazing. Gothic 3 had potential to be one of the best open world RPGs in history in my opinion, a patch like this might finally show the game in its full glory

[@mcsmash4905]

its actually my most played gothic game , mainly because there are cracks through which you can see what this game could have been and wanted to be

[@mouteg2176]

i think they need to make it accessible like archolos, so new comers don't have to deal with installation.

[@spacemanspiff6332]

I'd also really like to see the Vengard barrier disappear and the city rebuilt after the main quest is completed.

[@Loki_Firegod]

I'm not sure if there was an official statement about that, but since there are now quite nice tools allowing to have AI speak with the "original" voices (see some enhancement mods for Gothic 1 and 2 for example), I think that a kind-of voiced version isn't out of the question - perhaps not by the CSP team themselves, but some other members of the community. Anyhoo, one of the factors why the CSP isn't finished yet (which you didn't mention) is that during development, both their skills and technical possibilities improved so much that they more or less had to re-do much of their early work in order to have consistent quality. This does take time of course. But they've also mentioned that while there's a lot still to do, they are making good progress. I hope we get an update soon :D

[@gabrielefried3853]

If there were chapters again, am I forced to play the game in a specific order? So it forces me to go to Nordrend for example, when I would prefer going to the desert first? That would be a negative point in my eyes. One thing I like about gothic 3 is the choice of going everywhere I want to at any time.

[@King.Leonidas]

don't think it will force you but i guess you won't be able to progress the story?

[@JacktheRah]

I don't think that it would go this way. Given that the other Gothic games didn't restrict your movement like this either but instead forced you to go to certain locations for the main story.

[@randomdude2026]

@@JacktheRah But Gothic 2 restricted your movement. You couldnt enter the Valley of Mines or Jharkendar during the first chapter. As far as I know there will be similiar things in CSP, but the information I have is really old. I don't know how it is today exactly. You could just ask in their World of Gothic thread though. Unfortunately YT doesn't let me post the link. Go to the Gothic 3 editing and modding forum on World of Gothic. The CSP thread is one of the threads on the first page.

[@crygreg8484]

The first chapter plays in the eastern and middle part of Myrtana (Ardea and up towards Faring). Once you get to Nordmar, it starts chapter 2 and Nordmar is available as well. Chapter 3 opens up the rest of the world and from that point youcan go anywhere you want, basically.

[@net-twin-de]

#Idea The "Ring of Water" as a group, with Saturas etc. from the Gothic 2 AddOn, is unfortunately completely missing in Gothic 3, even though our hero even became a member of it. You meet some of the characters again in G3, but the group is generally is missing. It would be great to have this group back in G3 and to continue to be a part of it, the group perhaps as a support for all the tasks that are given to us. If the Ring of Water had a headquarter in G3, it would be a good place to park and change possible companions.

[@Meikitamemo]

[@jimboninho]

True. Love Gothic from Part 1 on and will play every single one of them again and again and again... ;p

[@jpteknoman]

you could say that the game was incomplete and in many cases the design was patchwork from the conversations with NPCs. there was one that stuck with me: the NPC says "we could see the orc army on the plains bellow and we were ready to fight them off. then Xardas showed up, did a ritual and suddenly all our magic stopped working". then i looked out of the town to the plains bellow and... there were no plains, it was a dense forest and you could barely see anything beyond the city gate. meaning that the dialogue and the world design were made separately and then stitched together in a hurry

[@El_Guapo74]

Probably you will have Gothic TTS where an AI creates the voices of the real voice actors. It works really good and adds a lot to mods etc. but I only know the German version

It would be amazing since I didn't finish this game , I played so many hours yet there is still a lot to do

[@maholics]

For me it doesn’t seem to be completed ever. Since more than 13 years they tell the Users: We are ready next summer/winter - since 13 years! And nowadays no news are released anymore. Come on.. I dont want to be pessimistic, but its more than clear that this project is something like „dead“.

[@Fingkregh]

hadn't heard of the parralell patch until this video, it really makes a gigantic difference no more having to wait a few moments upon loading for the game to stop stuttering etc, awesome!

[@simoSLJ89]

Man I'm more hyped by this than by the remake of G1 ! Will wait and see..maybe almost 20 years after the release, we could play an almost finished game? Anyway for the moment, just the G3 Parallel Universe patch improved the performance by a lot. But the most important thing..will they reintroduce the "à la Snaf" meatbug soup? I missed it! :D

[@MarJin727]

for the game to stop stuttering you need to set the rendering to max, at the beginning it takes a long time for the whole map to load, but after that everything works fine, it works in all 3 parts✌️👍

[@HaraldQuake]

That Mod looks and seems to be very promising. While I really liked Gothic 1 & 2, I never tried Gothic 3... I would like to see some new Gothic content that is true to the original series and I hope the new reboot will be able to deliver exactly that...

[@Marvinuser]

i truly never liked playing gothic three because of all the missing elements and bugs in the older versions and it has painted my opinion a lot about the game so i agree with what he said... yet i LOVE the old ones though, but this one was like the precursor to arcania.. and both were huge disappointments to me.. compared to the old ones... Chronicles though OH YEAH! they totally brought gothic back to life for me, with that.. brought me back to my childhood with GOTHIC II.. to me they simply revived a pleasure i thought long gone in this age

Gothic 3 is my favourite Gothic title. And yes I've played all 3 of them and Risen 1 many many many times... (We don't speak about Arcania 😅)

[@garnuch271]

you should really give it a try. although not finished, despite all the flaws, if you dont get hooked after montera and dont sunk in completety, its not the gsme for you

[@simoSLJ89]

Play it man! I suggest you with "only" the 1.75.14 community patch + the Parallel Universe patch (that reduces stutters)

[@brandonmcginnis580]

Gothic 3 is great but 2 will forever be my all time favorite game.

[@Lothien32]

G1(compleded more than 7x), G2 (completed over 10x), G3 completed almost 2x. Its a good game, but first two parts are way, way above g3 in terms of quality in my opinion in every way. This patch might improve it a lot.

[@Jurigag]

Well it will be really cool to see for example some actually travelling between cities, maybe stuff like caravans etc where you maybe some time could meet people, get some quest, protect them or just some random encounters, I feel it could fit a game pretty nicely.

[@youngimmortal4719]

They fixed the lag spikes and loading times of Gothic 3!? I didn't think that would ever happen, wow... Even if they weren't planning such a large overhaul of the game, just that gets me excited.

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

What wonderful news to wake up to, cheers bud!

[@jakubpodles538]

Project is indeed interesting and looks great. The only thing that concerns me is that they don't use armors from the newest version of Content Mod which look absolutely amazing

[@Kaucukovnik666]

I had a look and I have to say all those "improved" armors look like plush toys. Even the supposedly metallic plates feel soft and fuzzy.

[@JacktheRah]

Regarding the audio: In German some very smart and talented community members created a very good text to speech programme which imitates the voices of the Gothic characters. In the newest version it's even possible to translate spoken voice lines into Gothic voices. So at worst we can expect that the German version at least features the fitting tts voices, at best we can get a whole new team of people to voice the lines (and possibly even translate them into Gothic voices via the tool).

[@inquerion8867]

Polish version of it, "Gothic Bot" existed (I think they were forced to close project) too, but most voice actors in Poland hate it and wants it banned since they are afraid of losing their jobs.

[@Llortnerof]

I'm just happy they aren't using the old TTS anymore. That was horrible. It was less of a loss of immersion to have everybody just be silent.

[@Darthinfernov99]

Can't wait to see what this game brings to us!

A Interview with the original Piranha Bytes team of what is missing in Gothic 3 due to time restrictions would be awesome.

Oh my godness. I just tried the anti stuttering patch and it works like a charm. Freshly freed ardea first time since 5 years and not. one. single. stutter. Im baffeled this is even possible. And that raises the question why PB did nothing on this, as it is possible :o

[@brohvakiindova4452]

Oh that's actually awesome news, the thing that always killed getting really back into G3 were the loading times for me. Stutter was annoying but I'm just too impatient to wait so long on every reload.

How did you manage to have the NH with the ponytail?

I have recently gave gothic 3 another chance. Like the first time, I wasn't able to force my self to finish the game. So this a great news and I hope I will finally be able to enjoy the game. Gothic 1 and 2 are the best games I have ever played (I guess except chronicles of myrtana, that was even better the original gothic games).

[@bobankrsmanovic9398]

Agreed, but they really need to improve Gothic 3 combat, because it's awful, and if they can make combat like in Gothic 1 and 2, that would be amazing. Unfortunately, no mentioning of that in the video.

[@DarkDo7]

man i need to get that Parallel universe patch that for me alone is a enough to try this game again

[@DzondzulaKarakondzula]

They can now do the voice acting with AI. and have it be pretty high quality :)

[@chesirecat8928]

I'm really glad that old fans are still working on that mess that was Gothic 3. Few times I've seen such a hard affectionate and loving community. I loved the first two Gothic and still today are among my favorite games of all time, but the third was such a huge disappoint for me that I didn't even finish it. One of the thing I really hated about the game was the absence of the weapon mastery which influenced the animation and moveset of the combat, you could really feel the improvement in your fighting abilities because the character's weapon use was faster, more precise and could create longer combo. In the third weapon masteries only served for the purpose of equipping advanced weapons, but the moveset remained the same. It was a really cool feature and I don't understand why they removed it; maybe because of short time and few reasources? Other thing I didn't like: the AI, the placement and scaling of items you find through your journey (which I remember was very strange to the point of being absurd) and the clunky animations. I really hope CSP developers will fix some of these issues, so this may be the time I finish the game at least once.

[@daktaklakpak5059]

When looking at the combat system, then they didn't develop it at all. Its stuck in placeholder limbo. Never developed, never fixed. One example: Look how they hold two handed swords. Makes total sense to hold a giant sword with one hand gripping the edge... this is something that can't just fly by anyone in the design team. Its too obvious in your face, its too stupid.

[@SEDATEDSlothRecords6083]

I just dreamed about all the time. A perfect mastering of Gothic 3. Ive just played it with the current CP and it makes the game much more interesting already but I know there can come out a masterpiece again

[@JUVENTINO1602]

fkn awesome mate Gothic 3 was an amazing experience.

[@MasterCakeX5]

There will be at least German voice acting. The gothic community developed a really good TTS tool based on trained AI that is able to "speak" all the new dialogues in a very realistic way using all the original voice actor voices! If you understand German, check out the youtube channels of "Jorgenson" or "KhorinisPictures" and you will be amazed. Also, the German version of the community quest package is able to use these TTS translations already. Right now I am playing Gothic 3 again with new custom quests and a whole original-voice-actor TTS voice-over. If you want to know more about that, let me know.

[@Xardas_99]

I really wonder if they will start using A.I for voice overs, like Archolos has German TSS

[@eispfeil8410]

I wish they made the weapons much smaller. They are so oversized in the original game. And also it is quite disturbing how different the infrastructure in Gothic 3 is. While Gothic 1 and 2 were very late medieval, Gothic 3 ist like you went two centuries back.

[@Grachtnakk]

I wonder if they could change the weird bow animation to be vertical again like in G1 and 2. Also there is a Gothic Text to Speech Program that generates voices from G1 to G3, Risen and even The Witcher to be close the actual voice actors by feeding it the actual voicelines from the games. As far as I know that is only available in german yet. But i bet it would not be too hard to jist replace the voice actors with the english ones etc
