It looks good. Animations are shit but I didn't expect much from an AA game anyway.
I'll die laughing if it turns out that the Spanish make a better Gothic than Piranha

That demo looks very fucking Gothic to me.

For some fucked up reason, the testers seem to forget to show us a display of climbing - which was well fucking done from what I saw? Considering it was the hardest part to paste into HQ world. It should have been shown @4:30. That was one of the main features being a challenge to mimic. Everything else looks like it can be adjusted with ease.. including camera. Decentered camera isn't a sign that the game is going wrong. Yes, I agree that it matters and we should voice the issue/concern, but is it a red flag? I don't think so.

We have dialogue that works. We have Training that works, climbing works, combat works. There's no minimaps and tracking, highlight comes into play when you're facing the object like it did, they did everything right at the core level of design, just as they should. There's even a "Hey you!" when you initiate dialog*. Animations can be worked on. They are irrelevant to the core, or rather to this stage of development and they're all easier to fix/tweak or become optional than going wrong with something that was unique to Gothic. This is exactly the time to say "it's just a demo ffs" as a valid argument. What's important now is the goddamn structure, not details around it.


*although this is also a detail, it's an important flavor piece from Gothic's unique immersive interaction

Looks fine. Janky, relatively slow-paced. Hate the modern graphics, but that comes with the territory. Hopefully they can do something interesting/challenging with the combat to make this more than just "gothic but with ugly shaders obfuscating everything"

Yeah. That decentered camera is STILL complete garbage, by the way.
That remains true even if utter mongoloids like Momock seem to disagree.
Untrue.
I disagreed with this statement: "De-centered camera alone makes this remake garbage."

Now, from your own admission, the remake looks good despite the garbage decentered camera. So I was right. :cool:

Nameless one looks like a faggot with this cock on his head. Also player character moves like a vehicle, reminds me of Witcher 3 before they fix it with alternative movement type(which became a default). They made invisible walls so you can't fall of cliffs? This looks amateurish as hell.

Unbeknownst to occasional kurwas, the demo is a Nyras origin story. I gotta say, it was a hilarious decision to have that cunt come in wearing a manbun. Into prison.

"Welcome to the Colon."

Someone mentioned the decentered camera. I sure hope there's an option or a mod/hack to make it centered, otherwise it's unplayable for me.

It is beta, so I can`t actually blame them:

But loved that 7 mins of the 15 min timed Japanese demo I played at Tokyo game Show consisted of the staff trying to get the game unstuck after it locked when I was opening a chest.

Yep, This is the pre-patched gothic experience I`m use to.
