Not. Impressed. I'm well aware of the fact that, yes, this so-called "playable teaser" is but a proof of concept, the first build of a game sure to make the remaining twelve Gothic fans proud. However, as one of the fans in question, I cannot help but worry about this production, both from a game designer and a writer's standpoint. Simply put, the soul is absent. Gone is the dulled, gritty ambience of the Valley of Mines, replaced with a veritable lasagna of post-processing effects over Generic Unreal Engine Shader number whatever. Gone are the subdued and naturalistic performances, now a series of insipid action set-pieces and Bollywood quips. Not to mention the combat, which manages to somehow be even less responsive then what we had a quarter of a decade ago. No, no, this won't do. As it stands, the only thing this remake has to offer over the original is the number of polygons. And by Innos, if I have to listen to another word from our protagonist's mouth I might just do s...

another unreal engine garbage
No, no, no. The new Remake looks million times better, I am glad that this Teaser was thrown off the cliff.
mouse wont work in menu, no tutorial, opening intro took so long i fell asleep, pressed every button on keyboard and could not skip.
I didn't play the original Gothic games so I'm probably not who this is aimed at but for what it's worth I enjoyed this.
I actually enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere and quest design was very Gothic-like. Controls with gamepad do not feel that bad. The new demo subjectively was much clumsier with those.
«Gothic Playable Teaser» — это не игра, а интригующий, но спорный эксперимент, который должен был возродить легендарную серию, но вместо этого стал символом упущенных возможностей и фанатских разочаровани. Что это вообще было? Техдемо, а не полноценная игра: Выпущенный в 2019 году, P.T. задумывался как демонстрация нового движка для потенциального ремейка «Готики 1». Но вместо этого получился короткий (15-30 минут) и крайне сырой отрывок геймплея. Остров Хоринис?: Действие происходит в мрачном лесу с намёками на знакомые локации, но без глубокой прорабо...
