Gothic 2 and Future Games

[Feomathar]

If the Game holds up to both Fans and new players, will you be making a Remake of the whole Gothic-Universe or a complete Reset and a possible Gothic->Risen Fix?

Really? That's top of the list as far as you're concerned?

Kai Rosenkranz said they would like to remake the others, but it depends on the success of this remake though. They hired new voice actors because they should be available for a potential Gothic 2 Remake and so on ...

Hey cool! I should really watch his Podcast more :D
I hope the Game holds up and is a wider success.

Although waaaaayy toooo early, but if successful it would be a dream to get G2-3 also. Especially G3 with a proper story implementation and gameplay that feels more engaging without that FG abomination.
In the remake they focus more on the "Orc enclave", as it was called and bring more depth to Orcs and their background, etc... This could indeed be a fantastic groundwork for a G3 story-overhaul.

And while we're here in this thread dreaming into the future: would be cool to get an Archolos port as well, from those responsible for it.

Edit:
Chronicles of Myrtana Team said no ;).

Gothic 3 is the game most in need of a remake, I really hope we get there.

Yeah. Also the one that would need the most preparation and (re)work.

[Feomathar]

I actually would vote, to change the size of the Game. Mirtana and maybe Nordmar seems finde enough.
The Desert seemed so rushed and had (in my opinion) huge potential for a standalone or later Addon like NotR.
Better to not make the same mistakes and have a huge empty world with just garbage loot and "collectibles" (Yeah...I mean you Elex -.-" )

[Bullwark]

Yeah, its size definitely was not a great choice compared to the actual content and environmental densitiy of the previous entries.
Although I'd like to see them try to make a huge and vast area interesting. Originally there were mounts (camels, etc..) planned, but they scrapped that idea for whatever reason. The emptiness suffered a lot from inaccessability rendering it bland and tedious imo.

All in all G3 story-wise might prove to be the most difficult to improve, because there isn't that much compared to the other games. It wasn't really going anywhere. The climax and milestones felt underwhelming.
I appreciated the new ideas and the will to actually try something different with the faction system. But ultimately for me it failed to deliver the story.

Alkimia eventually might get there while improving and adding lore, etc..to the previous ones and then build upon that.
At least it's fun to speculate :)!

If you can provide the source, please do

G3 remake would be a dream coming true.

Gothic 2 remake would be fantastic. Let's hope this one is worth the wait and performs well when it comes out so they can consider further remakes.
Gothic 3 and Risen are not my cup of tea though.
