I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. I really want a Gothic remake. The story and setting are unique but the originally hasn't aged that well.

But I don't know enough about the remake to be super excited, so I'll do the sensible wait for the reviews thing.

I have only played Gothic 2, so it's time to revisit the games at some point. I heard there is a full-game-sized mod as well.

Played the intro/demo thing they had up a while ago. The world and stuff seemed promising. The combat was slightly better but still quite similar to the original game. Which imo is not that good of a thing. I'm still gonna play it, cause I love the game, but still.. was hoping for a bigger improvement in what I consider to be the side of the game that most needed jt.

Looks like an incredibly generic fantasy game with mediocre combat. I know that Gothic is more than that, but they've really not emphasized those bits in this trailer. If I didn't know about Gothic already from other sources this trailer would give me absolutely zero desire to play the game.

I didn't get to play the original and is not clear to me what the game is about from watching the trailer. What should I expect? An RPG,a survival game? Is it story based, or maybe more of a sandbox open world style?

I played at least two demos, and the last one felt generally close to the original. It was however just the entrance bit. A few things were changed, like you can no longer jump straight up.

The original do work perfectly fine today for anyone that wants to experience the game.
