It does have potential, the quest picking herbs for Yberion would be a lot more tense with bigger noodles like thst. Would help the atmosphere as a whole.

Unfortunately they've already shown they're fucking up the entire game so nothing to evencthink about.

Remember when a game only took 3 years to make? Those were better times.

But diversity hires, motion captured bear sex scenes, and etc needs money!!!!
Still, the fact that they are not showing any of it three years into development isnìt exactly signal-boosting confidence on their side.
Modern A/AA/AAA game developers takes 5-8 years to make a game and most don't reveal too early for this very reason^

A very small studio in assembly wrote Rollercoaster tycoon in about 2 years. How much years a electronic farts with modern engines and hundreds of incompetent diversity hires would need to make the same game?

Watched a video of the demo, why is it so ugly and shitty? Did they have to do everything wrong? How hard is it to just take Gothic, give it better controls, and decent graphics, and leave the rest true to the original?

You are exaggerating 3.5 years is not a long time by current standards. Showing the gameplay when it is not polished is also a stupid idea. I doubt whether they will show anything special until they announce the premiere date.

I doubt it's going to be as ugly as the demo, they probably already have scrapped everything that was shown.

And yeah, that means it could also look worse.

Elex wasn't the greatest game ever, but I had fun.

Admittedly, not as much fun as Gothic, which is what they should be measured against.

Looks like they want to make a generic console action RPG with Gothic assets. I hope they don't include dodge roll and stay with the original combat system which was awesome and tactical.

The more I experience everything from this remake the more disgusted I become. These devs can fuck off saying they loved original Gothic, just straight up lying to my face.

I hope they add more visual noise in the full release, I can almost see what's going on in these screenshots.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Doesn't look terrible, I actually like nuDiego, but why is the outside so suffused with grey? With occasional tinge of greenish grey?

The original wasn't exactly giving Kingdom Hearts a run for its money when it comes to gaudiness but it wasn't as drab either.

Where has the color gone? I get it, it's supposed to be bleak and all but at least let the grass be green.

I see that picture of....whoever (Diego, Gomez, dunno) and think of the Highlander quote "I'm not Spanish, I'm Egyptian."

That's Gothic with a (very well made) texture mod on your pic though. Yet the original still has greener grass than the stuff the remake portrays to be grass:

I like how the original Gothic looks with high res textures and DX11 mod, except still being blocky and lacking proper grass it looks great. I am not certain remake will look better if they add piss-filters, blurs etc...
