Ok, the video does not show really much. The atmosphere in that video see s to be ok from what's in there. I really hope they can remake that game but I really have my doubts. Gothic 1 is still a quite good game if you can life with 2001 graphics and a horrible interface +controls 
I still like it

The original demo was absolutely terrible, and the fact that this is what they chose to show off over two years later doesn't exactly get my hopes up that things have improved.

I'm hyped. So many people in here downers.
At least someone is trying to remake a classic. One that was barely playable at the time with the shit controls.
One thing is our nameless hero better have his triangle ponytail or no buy (I kid, I will get this, big time Gothic fan)

Target audience is Gothic fans. As part of that audience, I liked the trailer because it was very true to the original while still looking modern. I hope they can pull it off.

IMHO the controls in the remake demo were even worse, which is an incredible accomplishment.

The playable teaser they released a couple of years ago made A LOT of steps in the wrong direction, but I hope there's some truth in their successive claim that they ditched most of what was shown there to stick closer to the original.
I loved the first and Gothic 2 in particular may be up there as one of my top five (Action) RPGs ever made.
P.S. I hope the shitty For-Honor-inspired combat got the boot as well.

I'm highly sceptical, not only because I've been playing the original back and forth and know the game "like my best vest pocket" as we say in German, but because the Gothic series is still the benchmark for immersive, engaging and consequentially open world design; no level gating, no scaling, natural borders and difficulty zones, player skill that matters, character skill that matters, skills and attributes that makes you progress in strength noticeable and not only with infinitesimal small percentage increase, natural and breathing world with routines and behaviour independent from the player, a reactive world/environment that feels almost like an immersive sim but is an ARPG.
And I wonder if they gonna destroy all this because games 'have to' follow the UbiSOFT formula for open world games.

1 and 2 are masterpieces.
Open world RPGs. Not really welcoming.

It just needs a coat of paining, that's it.
But I'm sure they're gonna ruin it with a decentered camera and more "modern improvements".
