Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
THQ Nordic recently released a free demo of what a reimagining of the original Gothic by Pyranha Bytes would look like, called Gothic Playable Teaser.
I figured we could talk a bit about it and didn't find a thread on either the Gothic or Risen series, and while Elex only has one game, Elex 2 has been confirmed since before the first one launched.
The Gothic Playable Teaser is not looking to be Gothic in a modern engine but more like "what if we make a game with the characters and setting of Gothic in 2019", I played it all and got what I think all the alternatives to the few quests that you can play and I think it's absolutely great, at the very least it's as good as Elex (which you should play if you haven't already), though it's a bit rough around the edges and it has some weird graphic settings that you can't turn off, and both the protagonist and Diego who serves as the guy who tells you what's going on in the game feel like they talk way too much and the protagonist seems to have conflicting personalities, I think that these are things that aren't necesarily how the game would turn out if they actually go forward with it and more of "lets just throw everything we have so far and see what happens".
The combat is really good, it's not very groundbreaking or anything but once you get the flow of it is very fun, though at the end of my first playthrough I think I glitched all the enemies' AI so they could only dodge my attacks, in any case it's certainly better than anything in Gothic, Risen and even Elex.
The few quests that are in the game can be resolved in a few different ways and depending on what you choose to do and how you solve them the consequences are different, so I think it's a promising demo.
