No In Extremo in Gothic 1 Classic PS5
Okay, so this is a mini rant of mine. I've been playing G1 on my PS5 for couple of hours (chapter 3 so far) and I'm pleasantly surprised with the things that were restored into the game. Like two toll collectors near New Camp. Working pillar in the old monastery, that can be pushed now, to create a bridge. I believe that it didn't work in the PC version back in the time, since I have vivid memory of me learning acrobatics to get there and then be dissapointed with the loot. There is also a pair of orcs near the old colosseum, which I think that they were not there before (I might be wrong on this one). Couple of hobo camps now have occupants that will attack you. I believe that those camps were empty. Those are the most notable changes that I've seen so far.
With than in mind I'm kind of disappointed that In Extremo event didn't trigger in the game. I know, it was promo only in the german version of the game, but I believe, that now on steam version of the game, it works without any console prompt.
It's a shame, since it's a very cool easter egg and it was always fun to come to Old Camp and hear them blasting those bagpipes.
With that amount of things that were restored or added it's kind of baffling that this iconic part is missing. I have suspicion of copyrights being involved, but that only my theory.
So I love this new Gothic port. The new inventory system is amazing and enhanced graphic option is also very nice. The fact that you can switch between original and new is perfect for those who want to play G1 like back in the day, and for those who want to enjoy better shadow and light effects.
It's 9,5/10 for me. It would have been 10/10, but In Extremo missing is the only chipp in this gem.
