Deep Dive: Gothic 1 Remake8:15 – 1:29:50

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:15

Is it just, is it Gothic Remake?

Jack de QuidtHost

8:17

What a beautiful title.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:17

Or is it Gothic 1 Remake?

Jack de QuidtHost

8:19

It's Gothic 1 Remake.

Jack de QuidtHost

8:21

That is the title of the game.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:22

Well, okay, but wait a second.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:24

I'm looking at the key art, and it just says Gothic Remake.

Jack de QuidtHost

8:27

But in Steam, it's listed as Gothic 1 Remake.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:30

Hmm.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:31

Maybe the, like, the T is supposed to be a 1, you know? Goth-

Jack de QuidtHost

8:35

Maybe

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:36

... goth- goth- gonik.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:37

It doesn't really work.

Jack de QuidtHost

8:38

Yes.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:39

Uh, this is a, this game, Gothic 1 Remake, is developed by Alche- or nope, Alkimia Interactive, uh, and published by THQ Nordic.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:49

It is a remake of the first of the Gothic games, uh, which originally came out in 2001 and was developed by Piranha Bytes.

A

Austin WalkerHost

8:57

Um, uh, which i- is, went on to produce, uh, a number of other Gothic games and then a number of other, um, I would say very, very idiosyncratic, uh, RPGs, the Risen series and then the Elex series.

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:10

Uh, and I believe now Piranha Bytes is unfortunately closed.

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:14

I believe they closed in 2023, 2024, um, uh, as part of the huge Embracer Group n- nonsense.

Jack de QuidtHost

9:22

Oh, my God.

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:23

Yeah.

Jack de QuidtHost

9:23

Last Venga Force fucked them over, too?

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:25

Yeah, I think that they were, they were bought from THQ Nordic.

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:30

They were...

A

Austin WalkerHost

9:31

I don't remember how it went.
