For those that want a key from a less sketchy source.

Anyone seen any reviews for this one yet?

 

[PnCIa]

I played it early at the release party yesterday - its Gothic 1 through and through with modern graphics.
As a fan since 25 years, i was very skeptical if they would A.) dare to make a game like this in modern times , B.) if they would be able to pull it off. They kinda did, the AI reactions and the way to world treats you are all intact, even somewhat amplified since the early enemies like Scavengers do a bit more damage than in the original. Also, the combat was great, they really took the feedback from the demos to heart.
Bought it right after. They don´t make them like this anymore...until they did.

I got my keys from gameseal. The soundtrack preorder bonus came as a second key.

Omg really? That may be the breaker for me... Cant do 30 no more. They gotta patch 60 in at some point I'd hope

 

[adamsapple]

And locked to 30fps in consoles

Even that 30fps is poor, lol.

No performance mode on PS5 Pro, either.

The full release looks and runs just as bad as the PS5 demo did. Many textures look reminiscent of the PS4 era, the game runs at max 30 FPS on PS5 and PS5 Pro, there is no performance mode and there are constant texture/shadow pop-ins. Overall it runs like a poorly optimized PS4 game from 13 years ago

Now we know why the review embargo was lifted today lol

My copy's already shipped, hoping this is some miracle case where running at 120hz unlocks the fps on Xbox or some shit, at least leverage that part of the equation.

 

[pudel]

There is supposedly a day one patch...and all reviews are without it. Just keep that in mind. But I dont know if that helps for PS5 performance.

Just watching Lirik playing it and it runs pretty well on his 10k machine.

I can live with 30 fps if they are stable I know most of you guys cant.

Honestly Unreal Engine 5 is such a mess in terms of performance, it looks good but the performance is terrible and these consoles are not powerful enough for this engine

Thanks for reporting in. Guess I'm out. Enjoy everyone

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

I gotta believe they KNOW they need to implement a performance patch, right... Right???

 

[JusticeForAll]

This game running at 60fps on ps5 pro is unacceptable, I'm sorry. No performance patch, no buy. Very disappointed, I looked forward to it very much. I actually stayed up yesterday to finish the bond game to be ready for this, haha.

They needed to take some extra time before releasing this, that much is clear.

 

[MrRibeye]

Good lord what happened most reviews are absolutely awful

 

[Luipadre]

Its not a journalist friendly game so probably most of them sucked and hated it.. I wouldnt trust reviews on this one. If you like games like this, it looks like its a good one

I'm sorry, but the performance on ps5 pro is unacceptable. That has nothing to do with being "journalist friendly" or not.

 

[J3nga]

Looks super junky but it's what fans wanted right?

 

[Infested Goblin]

I thought it will have around 5-10k concurrent players on steam but for now its almost 50k lol

PC Gamer:

6/10

Gothic 1 Remake may have made concessions for new players, but remains an RPG for people who think Daggerfall was the last good Bethesda game.

Me:

 

[Gonzito]

Almost 50.000 players on Steam, not bad for the type of game

I want to see how the slaves look, do they still look like men or not lol

 

[Sentenza]

I have immediate purchase regrets because I'm getting absolutely abysmal performances (high 40s to low 60s) even at the lowest setting and with the most aggressive form of DLSS 4.5 activated.
There may even be an amazing remake here, but performances on my system which for the record is relying on a 3080ti) are preventing me from enjoying it.

P.S. PC Gamer and iall its insufferable whining about "punishing outdated design" can go to suck massive cocks on an gas station restroom, anyway.

Dont use 4.5 on a 3000 series card

 

[GymWolf]

Is it me or this game's dodge is dogsh...very peculiar? dude barely moves

Not even elex dodge felt this bad but it has been a while since i played that one.

Game run well and look ok for now, forced profile M so even dlss perf mode looks great and i can pump up the other settings.

Idk, but i've read they have a questline for you (even if its small one)

 

[Hudo]

There is a somewhat big hype around this remake here in Germany, unsurprisingly. Unfortunately, I can't understand the hype. I never "got" Gothic. I was playing Morrowind instead back when Gothic 2 came out.

Every animation is bad at first because your character is a nub. You will improve overtime and the animations will get better too

 

[Topher]

And locked to 30fps in consoles

Welp.....returning the PS5 version then

 

[Denton]

So far so good. I can feel the Gothic atmosphere here and I am pretty sure I will love this like the original.

but performances on my system which for the record is relying on a 3080ti

I have the same GPU with 5800X3D.

On default "Gothic" preset (which is very high) and 1440p with DLSS quality, I had 60fps stable no problem.

HOWEVER, there were few "loading framedrops" as I got closer to old camp, and once I aggroed 20 guys by stealing, my framerate dipped into 40s. But that was CPU related because UE5 is a trash engine. My GPU is completely fine. And outside of camp (and inside it when not aggroing) I have 60fps stable.

Make sure to update drivers if you haven't.

I played both Morrowind and Gothic 1 and 2 when they came out.
I liked Morrowind but loved Gothic. It is a better game overall by significant margin. Morrowind had terrible dialogue system (wikipedia style) and horrible combat. Gothic had better systems for both and was generally more down to earth game. Morrowind had great atmosphere and brilliant music (although Gothic does too).

I know. I actually talked to Mike Hoge once. Albeit very, very briefly.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Topher can you get your son to create an 800MB animated gif for this OT?

 

[GymWolf]

I know that is the case for attacks with weapons but does the dodge animation change? because for now it feel beyond terrible

Btw just discovered that enemies are finite and dont respawn, and i thought i was smart when i attracted 10 dino thingies into the guards and let them do the killing to collect the loot...time to restart a new game

which dlss quality are you using and what graphical settings?

 

[Diseased Yak]

Well, I went ahead and bought it, why not? Gothic remains one of my favorites from back in the day, heck I even liked and beat the sequels. I'm looking forward to it, despite any jank present.

 

[GymWolf]

I only have a problem with the dodge, if that improve i'm gold.

 

[amigastar]

Watching Cohh playing it for about 2 hours i really like what i see. Also the 4players review of 90 really helped the MC Score to get better and i think it deserves it honestly.
Also game looks quite nice for an AA production or whatever it was.

It looks quite good actually I agree

 

[Skifi28]

It's extremely faithful to the original so far (2 hours in). Almost 1:1 with the obvious visual improvements.

 

[pudel]

Some graphics benchmarks (german site). Game is pretty gpu heavy.

[Kiru]

I'm glad it does the original justice. I loved how Gothic immersed you in a merciless and unforgiving world without any guidance. In this case, not 'modernising' the gameplay is a good thing. I'm going to play it whenever I get to upgrade my PC.

 

[kittoo]

WTH I thought the game would do like 3-4k CCU and it's already sitting at more than 60k! Those are some amazing numbers. This is a hit already!

 

[Denton]

I am LOVING THIS

Trying to kill scavengers with random shitty pick axe is hardcore xD
