    I Don't Care It's Clunky. Gothic Remake Is Looking Great!

    The creators of Gothic Remake showed me behind the scenes what they are working on. The game looks very good, but its appearance is just the beginning.

    Some people know that, by some miracle and the capricious fate, this biggest epidemic of love for Gothic in Poland simply passed me by. Well, I played the first game in my childhood, then I played the second one only a little bit and I completed one of the Risen games, only to eventually drop them and go back to Baldur's Gate. These are all my sins.

    During gamescom, I had the pleasure of meeting Javier Untoria and Kai Rosenkrantz, the developers behind the upcoming Gothic Remake. They showed me behind the scenes what they are preparing for us. Oh my god, I can't believe I'm writing this, but when the game gets released, I'm going to enjoy it.

    First impression? Give me the axe
    By the way, a word of explanation: the fragment of Gothic Remake shown at gamescom included a section of the road to the Old Camp from the beginning of the game. However, it was redesigned so the devs could present various mechanics during the fair, so you won't find this stage in the full version of the game. So I saw characters that shouldn't be where they are, as well as places or roads that didn't quite match - all in order to present the gameplay.

    However, returning to the main point: at first, I was scratching my head because this really does resemble Gothic, but with new, nice graphics. You will notice this especially when it comes to animations. Running or fighting looks like the good old Gothic, with all its incurable rheumatism. It's different with the surroundings - they are beautiful, sometimes even phenomenal. The level of drawing distance on the horizon, when we look from the cliff at the panorama of the camp and the adjacent estates, was very similar to contemporary games. Vegetation, rocks, buildings - everything looked either good or very good. Even the underwater world (which is often done in games, let's say, half-heartedly) looked nice and in addition, we can find something under the water surface.
