Niggles: Why was a remake needed?
The original has not aged well on a technical level.
While the graphics can be overlooked, especially the controls are simply bad, compared to modern games.

I never played the Gothic games back then and these are the reasons why I don't want to play them today, unfortunately....

Yes, sadly.
I still count Gothic 2 Gold as one of my favorite games of all time. But i can't play it anymore. The controls just do not work for me anymore.
I really hope that the Gothic remaster turns out well and is successfull. I *really* want a remaster of Gothic 2 as well.

Ranayna: Gothic remaster
Not a remaster, but a full, from the ground up remake, as it also says in the title.
A remaster of the original Gothic would be this one.

*Remake (like CMIQ said^^)

Yes, this would be great and probably the perfect way for me to finally play something in that world!

Does anyone know if there's a release date? This game has been in development for quite a while now...
Eh. Been playing Gothic 1 for the first time over the past few days and the controls are completely manageable. Keyboard only is fine unless you need to look down a cliff or something.

The best comparison would be the original Tomb Raiders. If you haven't had problems playing that, Gothic 1 will be the same.
Gothic is just the type of game that can (potentially, ideally lol) benefit a lot from a good remake that brings that setting to life

If it goes wrong, well, nothing can sully the original
Remake aside, I wonder what happened to those Switch remasters of Gothic 1 and 2 that were going to be released on the PC as well.

If they're good enough, that's probably the way I'm finally going to play through these games.

I really don't understand why the controls are hard for others.
I played gothic 1 and gothic 2 gold several times even changed the controls to gothic 2 like it was in gothic 1 and it is simple to swing a weapon holding control and then left or right or up or down.
You can even let go control and simply press down to go back a little which kinda means you won't get hit in most casses in gothic 1 and 2.
Also haven't played the game in some time.

Has there been any indications what will be kept, what will change (hope not)?. I mean its a remaster. Just do up the graphics and controls if they need to be done. Hopefully they arent doing their own whacky spin on stuff that already works in the original

TQ II updates? Here's hoping they don't screw it up. Really hopeful for it to be the best upcoming ARPG.

Showcase 2024 Trailer

"Prisoners, it's time to face reality and embrace your fate. Make yourself at home in the Valley of Mines, a place full of danger, crime and greed. You will stay here for a very. Long. Time.

In Gothic 1 Remake, you get thrown into the colony, a massive outdoor prison with no chance for escape. Strays or loners won't make it far here, so get to know the three different camps of the valley and join one of them to survive.

Dive into a living world and experience one of the most immersive atmospheres you'll ever see in a video game. Learn how your choices affect the story and even the entire fate of the colony.
Welcome to the world of Gothic. Welcome to the colony."
Here's hoping that's just a teaser for something more substantial (like a 20-30 min deep dive) to be shown at gamescom later this month.
Looks promising.
