They just had a short demo today at Gamescom in Germany. I'm not sure if the melee combat will be very similar, it looked very slow even after learning level 2 one-handed

[@INTOHD]

O you did a demo? NICE thay did say that is only beta and things will change. SO big hope this will change also. Because Big part of gothic experience is progression in combat

[@bulanet271]

@@INTOHD I mean the change is there, using it one-handed instead of two hands but it still looked clumsy like a swing to the right or left was done with the body turning hard in that direction too, with a big pause afterwards. Because action RPGs since 2005 play very differently than gothic I am in doubt it will be the same in the final version. Even untrained in gothic you can still chain left-right attacks pretty fast, and trained/master level is much faster and easier to chain. Looked very slow here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGSyhX2par5gptksi=vHUMC8MIpaGJJA2w At around 31:00 where you eventually learn lvl2 from Kirgo

@@bulanet271 yeah you right. damn doesn't look good for the game :(.

@@INTOHD I just recently replayed Risen for the 3rd time,probably their best game after g1,2 although I actually really like gothic 3 but it wasn't a great gothic sequel. So Risen is very similar to most other games where you can't swing around like a madman because you get punished for it, you can abuse charge attack+ dodge for the most part but it's nowhere like gothic because every hit stuns and interrupts your combo, whereas in gothic that doesn't happen and you can keep fighting, and usually the armor keeps you alive even if you aren't good at blocking. But after gothic 2 every game that came out has this system where you either dodge or get stunned. Example at the end of Risen, level 30 with 600 health and 100 armor, a sea vulture can technically still win if you spam mouse1 and the vulture dodges and counter hits you. In gothic, once you get some armor you have a lot of room for error, and you can still fight back while you're getting hit, which to me made it satisfying. And the fast swings looked very graceful. Ultimately, in gothic you feel like a god because your armor protects you and almost nothing prevents you from beating up your enemy (no stuns), but in Risen I can be max level but can still be beat up by a pack of low level enemies because they are experts at avoiding my attacks and interrupt me constantly, so 90% of the time I have to be on guard blocking and wait for the enemy to make a mistake first. So it's very different from gothic gameplay, the pace is slower

@@bulanet271 haven't played Risen maybe i should try it one day :)

[@thevikingsock8527]

Keep in mind many things were the way they were, because it was a DEMO

[@INTOHD]

@@thevikingsock8527 yes and it may change

[@anon_y_mousse]

I completely missed the original. Never even heard the name before. But if I can find a copy I'll certainly give it a try. I don't use Steam, so the fact that it's on there doesn't matter to me.

[@INTOHD]

Get it on GOG sometimes its like 5$, great game, the second one is even better.

[@anon_y_mousse]

@@INTOHD I forgot about GOG, and now that I know it had a sequel I'll look for that too.

[@lettnecker13]

Just saying it's pronounced goth-ic like when one says sick it's the ic at the end never hear it said that way but I think there is a movie called gothika

[@INTOHD]

@@lettnecker13 thanks for the correction :) next time i will say it right 👍

[@bulanet271]

​@@lettnecker13I think it's gothika in slavic only

This is my favorite game too. Here are my thoughts: I did not have problems with anything. Maybe the animations could be better. I need to see more to tell. I feel like people nit-pick too much for the sake of having some sort of opinion. Don't forget how jank and flawed the game was. It's not a bad thing to have flaws. I loved most of the flaws of the original. Animations are a pet-peeve of mine though. So many high budget games get this wrong where gothic 1&2 got it right. I hate animations that look like a drunk person under water. To understand what I mean compare tekken (bad) to any 2D fighter (good). We don't know if the game will be good, but one thing is for sure, even if it's crap I will still try my best to enjoy it, because it's GOTHIC.

[@INTOHD]

@@oredaze same I will do the same. But you know, you can't blame us for hoping for the best :)

[@humblehornet621]

This week I tried the Gothic Remaster, not to be confused with the Remake. In the remaster the animations for combat are different(also the mechanics), also walking has one animation for everyone. At first I was not feeling the combat but after an hour the Gothic magic made me look past that and now I am having a blast. The game runs super smoothly, has some quality of life features that make the experience worth while.

[@INTOHD]

@@humblehornet621 did you got early access or what?

[@humblehornet621]

@@INTOHD it is out now officially. I have the steam version - right click Gothic 1 Classic, from the menu select properties, from there go to Betas and for Beta participation you should have the option unrealbeta - Gothic classic in Unreal. I hope this helps 🙂

[@INTOHD]

@@humblehornet621 o nice, thanks

[@Kainvverd]

My honest hope is that Gothic Remake is going to be like a potato... Nothing special but reliable and comforting.
