We captured the trailer directly on Nintendo Switch on a pre-release version that had additional graphic features included. Unfortunately, we were not able to optimize these in time and so we decided to leave them out of the vanilla release version. Our plan is to ship these features with an upcoming patch as soon as possible.
I was unhappy with the launch of the switch port, and aired my grievances on the steam forum. Devs directly acknowledged my comments and sent me here. Seems like all will be well soon and good communication on the part of the devs. Very hopeful for the future of the Gothic franchise.
The most iconic and the best RPG ever created by a man. In Poland we say, "you can't call yourself Polish if you haven't tried pierogi, schabowy, and if you haven't played Gothic when you were a kid". :)
@@user-qe1pz6lp1q I obviously made up this saying, but it's insane how popular this game was and still is. It's like a whole generation of gamers (including me) grew up with this game in the early 2000s. I think it's mainly thanks to Polish dubbing, it was very decent and cool, and back then it something new, because not often games were fully dubbed.
A huge thanks for adding all those fixes and gamepad controls to PC version! Gothic 1-2 are my all time favorites along with Fallout 1-2, Thw Witcher series and Demon's Souls. I hope there will be a physical edition at least on Switch to add to my collection!
Ordered it right at the announcement and can wait until sometime next week because your store is unable to ship on time (not even shipped). Thanks THQ...
Hatte es vorbestellt und um Mitternacht schonmal angespielt, finde die Portierung sehr gelungen, mir sind allerdings ein paar Ungereimtheiten in der Steuerung aufgefallen, zum Beispiel funktioniert der "Fokus", sowie das "Schleichen" nicht. Zudem pariert der Charakter oft nicht nach dem Hieb mit dem Schwert, was mich oft das Leben kostet. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit "Bugs" zu melden? Danke für die Portierung, wird mir ein paar schöne, nostalgische Stunden bereiten :)
Gothic ... un videogioco intramontabile che ha fatto la storia degli Action RPG. Una perla che solo pochi nel suo genere sono riusciti ad eguagliare. Se amate giochi di ruolo, allora non potete non dare una chance a questo meraviglioso e profondo mondo di gioco. Bentornati alla Colonia! Un grande saluto da Luparo ✌🏼🐺
Ye Cuz unfortuanetly Gothic Remake would be only for ps5 but I dont want to buy A ps5 for one game only :/ atleast they should bring gothic classicnon ps4
gothic 1 and 2 are still the best game i ever played even in those times and cyberpunk, bg3 and so on… gothic had soul its not only game its masterpiece
Oh come on. Watched the Intro till the end. The camera freezed viewing Diego. I can walk out of the frame but cannot use "A" to talk to Diego. Great start! Another example, why preorder is for dummies! I wanted to enjoy Gothic from the start! Not waiting for a hotfix for an 20 year old game.
Thanks for bringing out a port for the Switch! 🎉 In addition to bug fixes, would it be possible to optionally add the shadows and water effects seen in the 3. August announcement trailer?
Всё прекрасно, но раз уж переделали инвентарь, то можно было и в стиле Готики его нарисовать, а не прозрачные, серые, квадраты да кнопки. Поглядим да поиграем)
To see Gothic ported to the Nintendo Switch. To quote an old man from a cartoon: what a time to be alive. No joke, it's honestly nice to see the game get itself a port to a modern day platform.
This is awesome. Having classic Gothic playable natively with controller and better UI on PC will be so good. And I am buying remake day one if it is good.
Gothic is a classic, one of the games of my childhood. 🖤 I really like how they enchanced & improved certain things (and that this remaster is coming also to PC) and not just transfered the game to Switch. 👍
I really like the improvements that seem in line with the immersiveness and will even try out the motion controls... most of all, i am happy that the new sh*t will also come to pc players, really want to play those mods with a gamepad
Nice scam using DX11 mod for the trailer while the actual switch version looks the same as vanilla game and is full of bugs that were not present in the original. I am concerned about the quality of the Gothic Remake if you pull off dirty tricks like this for the console port.
THQ Nordic - *Where's the physical release in the USA?* Evan a limited one like Risen got on PS4? Hell, even if you give it a "limited" physical release & I'll buy it ............................................ (again).
There are still a lot of bugs, but they are not that annoying and sometimes fun (but they are still glitches, which is not good). Everything is in the tradition of modern game development - the game waited for release on the Switch for 22 years, but it came out crude.
Overall it's done really well. Don't care for the auto lock on combat system it locks onto the wrong target too long A should lock on like control on pc along with down on the dpad for block then it'd be perfect
Habe mein Exemplar schon gestern per Post bekommen. Dankeschön! Antesten füllte sich schonmal gut an. Freue mich darauf meinen 101. Durchlauf erstmal auf der Couch zu vollziehen
Habe es Anfang August bestellt, mir wurde noch nichts zugestellt. Muss ich noch ein/zwei Tage geduldig bleiben... Wo haben Sie bestellt? Viel Spaß beim 101te Durchlauf!
I am not pleased. Today is the day of the premiere and my copy of the game STILL ISN’T SHIPPED. But maybe that’s better. You will have time for hotfixes -.-
This is not the Remake. It IS the original just ported to switch :o. Remake is still in the works for PC and Consoles (I think?) Edit. Sorry I think I know what you mean now. So hyped to beat this for 20th time on Switch
It's nice to see the game coming out for a newer generation but I wish they didn't mislead the community by doing so. The graphics are nothing like they promised it would be and it stutters heavily sometimes. how they managed that on way newer hardware than what was available when the game first launched is just very disappointing.
Not the newer hardware is important, but the old engine. It makes porting more difficult. And due to performance spikes we didnt include it and used the original Gothic renderer
@@timurkhodyrev I understand completely but in my opininion it would've been a better move to delay a few months to fix these issues which I'm sure the fanbase would've appreciated. oh well we're here now so I hope you guys can find a solution and thanks for introducing this gem to the newer generation!
@@IronMaiden4ever probably wouldn't work anyway. Remember that it's sphagetti code from over 20 years ago, wrote by the students and highschoolers (KaiRo was 18 y.o. back then if I remember correctly) who barely knew what they were doing. It's pokemon Red/Blue level of bad, you would need to resurect Iwata to make it work. I'm not a developer, but I know this game well enough to say that you don't want to mess with it too much, because instead of fixing you can actually break even more things.
@@timurkhodyrev to be honest, I'm suprised you were actually able to implement so many other things, like motion controls, new menus, etc. Maybe I'm not the biggest fan of some changes (I personally hate HD textures on old models, like the swamp camp plaza) and I personally hope that "vanila" gothic will still be available on PC, but still - kudos to the entire team for making this port happen. Preordered physical ed. on day1, it's one of my favourite games ever.
@@timurkhodyrev well looks like I'm taking back what I said. You guys have the gall to just do the same false advertisement AGAIN with the gothic 2 trailer. You people are truly shameless.
Bethesda rpg's could never capture the amount of atmosphere, quest-depth and that hardcore style through you know the battle system. I always knew from back then this was a one of a kind rpg. And not too many people have played them comparitively, they should. I won't play until the remake as I know those games totally from back then.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU im excited to think that i have a chance to play it again and most important i can play it in my native language ver. which is very iconic in my country. Thx for that possibility to enjoy world of gothic with a little fresher touch. Best regards to all gothic funs :)
Schade das man den In Extremo-Auftritt im Spiel nicht sieht. Überlege sogar ob ich das Spiel doch noch storniere. So werden Kindheitserinnerungen zerstört... 😢
I have annoying bug with the 10/100 division that more ore is calculated than you get. Hope you fix this yet, because this is a new bug in the old Gothic there was not the bug. Please fix 😊
To właśnie DX11 jest tutaj ogromnym downgradem, jak można w ogóle stwierdzić że to oświetlenie i cieniowanie na modelach i teksturach z 2001 roku dobrze wyglądają.

Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
When is this graphic patch?
Then WHY release it in an unfinished state? Man, I miss the old days of gaming. Modern industry is a complete mess.
Vote for Gothic 2 Gold Edition - Switch Version! ❤
Excellent port on the first one!
Wish granted!
@@jamyskis maybe if I write....
"Vote for Gothic 3 - Switch version....
Excellent port of the first two!"
I'll get lucky too 🙏🙏🙏

This is the game of my childhood, I am so excited that 20 years later it gets the love it deserves! Can't wait for the remake on PC as well!
Amazing, I love it! Gothic really really need to finally get the popularity it deserves
My favourite moment of the whole trailer was seeing at the 2:48 the guy in the back running endlessly. Trully a great port!
An authentic port lol.
As intended
What a surprise. Ive been wanting to jump into gothic for a long time and this is a greatvway to start. Congrats.
Btw, great voiceover!
Can't wait for Gothic 2!
Vote for PS5 and XSX version.
They are remaking it and it will probablly be on both
@@chrisvaccaro9062 I will definitely buy it, but I also love the original version.
I'd prefer they bring these improvements to Steam, with achievements, but yeah ps5 would be nice, too.
Well you're in luck
Gothic 3 please!

Gothic 2 with night of the raven would in fact be the greatest

I would like to add STALKER SoC to the list. It is not a RPG but an atmosphere is there. All are my favorite games
We really need Playstation/Xbox port, please THQ Nordic!
This trailer is not only hilarious, but also conveys the creators really understood what made the game great 🤩
Unfortunately not. They changed too much imho
what did they change too much? The UI interface needs an upgrade@@its_oz
Ordered it right at the announcement and can wait until sometime next week because your store is unable to ship on time (not even shipped). Thanks THQ...
Вот это я понимаю порт, привет Рокстарам. Спасибо за улучшения, и за то что они доберутся до ПК в том числе.
One of the best games ever, now it has Got a bit old, but forever will stay in my heart
We need this on the PS5 and XSX. Really weird decision from THQ to only release it on nintendo switch, of all the possible systems.
Yeah it would be great to play it but I'm still waiting until you fulfill your part of the deal and ship the damn thing to me
Same here
Same, THQ Store sucks! This is safe and not for the first time...

No ETA, sorry
Really excited that this version comes to PC too, I really wanna play gothic on my Steamdeck
gothic 1 and 2 are still the best game i ever played even in those times and cyberpunk, bg3 and so on… gothic had soul its not only game its masterpiece

Maybe I missed something, but where are the promised dynamic shadows and new water? They were in the first trailer.
2:47 It ain't Gothic if there isn't an NPC walking in the texture in the top left.
Amazing. Please Gothic II and Gothic III port Nintendo switch!!!!
I'd like to see original games on Xbox consoles as well. Why don't do this?
All consoles deserves this port imo. Many people around the world want to play these games but don't have a pc or nintendo
Ребята, спасибо вам!
PC version when?!
insane, the first PC port to switch without detail or performance loss
But it has a ton of both. Even a lot of new Bugs.
Very sadly it does have performance loss :/ Fps varies alot
This is truly next-gen for the switch cant wait.
Where is the promised update? 😢
Mh, nicht schlecht! Bin gespannt wie flüssig das Kämpfen mit den Joy Cons sein wird.
