Gothic Gothic remake from THQ Nordic

[Tacgnol]

Yeah the armor looks good to me.

Same, looks fairly practical and plausible as well.

The only minor criticisms I have is a) the retarded lighting for the armor shots and b) the grimace on the last armor seems more like a lion now, rather than orcish/demon

Looks like the Demon Back from Baki

That was supposed to be Shadowbeast, i like that they used that throat protecting piece to symbolise its horn just like in the original design.

The pauldrons don't look properly articulated. They look like they work weird if the user tried to raise their arms over their head.

Yeah I missed that, they look a bit stiff. Oh well, mostly pretty practical looking anyway.

 

[Dadd]

If they were 1:1 to the originals they would look too exaggerated with better graphics considering the realistic character models.

I do agree that I'd like the red to be a bit more vibrant. Modern devs are so terrified of color.

Finally someone who gets it lol, 1:1 recreation would have you look like a WoW paladin with those gigantic pauldrons

IDK man, they look pretty good to me, keep in mind the dark lighting in the picture

But then again I'm fully against the industry's current trend of remastering everything

Yes.
And frankly I wouldn't have a single issue with the second point, either.
If anything I would only prefer if more attempts at "remasters" and "remakes" weren't so blatantly low effort stuff.

Fun Fact: several key members of the original Piranha Bytes were really into LARPs which is probably why Gothic had these trashy armour designs

Seems like Thorus has been spending a lot of time in the sun.

 

[Wunderbar]

Thorus was always black.

Dude was always heavy on the melanin

 

[Jarpie]

Some screens.

The shoulder pads are like in klingon uniform.

They've not even bothered to diffirentiate bracers in the mid & bottom models, so it really show how they're not keepenig their eyes on the details, making this remake already inferior to the original. Game might be fun in the end, but now I can clearly see that they ain't no aiming to achieve masterpiece.

Not really, thats just wrong armor picture, though its still different from the original. Really i doubt that they had any choice here if they wanted more realistic look since original bracer was like from some larper imagination (yeah i know that studded bracers are common in fantasy etc. but at best they could be fashion accessories if we think about their practicality). Still for me this their worst interpretation for now, like is mail here under or over the tunic? They couldn't decide or what?

The hardest armor to be made in my opinion is going to be Heavy Temple Guardian armor (this picture clearly shows normal temple guardian armor not the heavy one). Yeah lamellar armor like in their version of normal Temple Guardian Armor is a good idea but then what? What even is this weird thing under armor? Mail? Rather not since original game had normal mail and it was clearly different.

Baseless complaining is just as annoying as sycophancy

A few years ago I said this an1me shit is gay on some forum, then I got banned. Now I look at that idiocy and I know I was right.
( I don't say all an1me is bad. There are solid works like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Berserk etc.. I'm talking about general an1me and people who defend shit like that screenshot)
( I would beat Jaina's ass like a Kodo Drum though

)

Find me 120 reasons why that armor is wrong. Protip: you can't.

The garbage wow art style has nothing to do with anime. That armor is inspired by Warhammer, which I find just as awful looking

 

[Justicar]

Look's like trash bitch boys.

 

[catfood]

Beach Boys? Go surf somewhere else, boomer.

 

[cherry blossom]

Does the Gothic remake have free climbing like the original? If not, screw it. Either way, I can't see them making combat similar to the original. It will most likely be a button masher, ie. boring.
