Why even bother with remakes. They always turn out to be terrible compared to the original.
Money... ?

I feel like you should know that.
For something like Gothic, it doesn't make as much sense. It is relatively obscure compared to other things that have gotten remakes.
Sure, it's rather niche but it certainly has its fans. Which means you can get away with some success despite using a smaller team and probably lower costs for the IP?

However, they could have just rerelease the original with a simple retexture, resolution support, and by allowing options to modify the control scheme and make more profit.

The thing that bothers me the most about this trailer is the whole OI GUV FUK OFF M8 style it's going for. It's complete missing the mark of the original, and you can bet your ass that it's all going to be like that.

I wouldn't know since I'm not aware what does the original Gothic sound like in English in the first place

No "welcome to the colony" punch in the face? No female whore sent in with the goods?

Man, I was coming here to say the trailer wasn't bad for a "day in the life of a digger" piece, to kinda give an idea of the tone and social dynamics (despite the weird British "u w0t m8" talk).

But fuuuck man, that playable teaser video just threw all that momentary optimism through the window. The overly talkative cocky hero, the "epicness" instead of starting at the low end, etc... Truly atrocious.

This is the vertical slice they made three years ago to gauge reactions and see if they can convince the suits to let them do a full remake. It's 100% shit, but it has nothing at all to do with what they are actually making. They know what the fans didn't like about it.

Oh alright; haven't been keeping up.

They did keep the british accents though, which just makes the characters seem posh rather than bottom of the ladder criminals.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing they are using the original recordings for the German dialogue, so there's that at least.

Combat in Gothic 1 has never been good and anyone who thinks so should stop taking their meds.
The combat literally consisted of constantly swinging the weapon right and left to stunlock the enemy.

Oh look, another moron who didn't level up combat skills.
Literally no matter how much your level your skills, swinging your sword right and left is the always fastest.
You can stunlock even a troll.

The atmosphere of the game will be lost with new graphics. Just add texture packs like the mods, the game looks great with those.
Perhaps it's my age, but imo Gothic still has impressive visuals and atmosphere even without mods. I don't need no gay remake either.
