Two Worlds interview - What went wrong and how things will be put right with The Temptation

8
It's fair to say that Two Worlds didn't get the best reception when it finally hit the shelves.

With an average rating of 50% a lot of criticism was thrown at Two Worlds - it wasn't polished, the graphics were awful, the dialogue was bad and it just wasn't that much fun. In the aftermath of Oblivion, Two Worlds just didn't have the confidence to step out of its shadow.

So OXM asked the developer, Reality Pump, what went wrong with Two Worlds and how they plan to fix it with the sequel, Two Worlds: The Temptation.

1 - Yeah --
I've got to admit, I surely hope their second game is a lot better. I wasn't a big fan of Two Worlds;)

2 - My friend....
insisted that the original was better than Oblivion. With him though, I can never even tell if he's serious or not.
Anyways, I hope this game turns out to be much better than the first.

3 - didnt impress me
I played the demo. Thought it was basically an uglier version of oblivion which is why it got canned in reviews i guess.

I beat Two Worlds and it wasn't really that bad of a game, the ending was stupid but I had fun with the overall game. The first hour of playing Two Worlds was horrible, I wanted to bring the game back, I kept playing cause a friend insisted I keep playing and I actually enjoyed the game when I learned how to really play it. Don't think I'll buy the new one but I'm willing to try it out.

I must say that when i first played the demo i thought it was awful, but..... my girlfiend got a copy cheap so i thought i would give it another go.
It takes a while to get into and used to but overall i would say i prefer it to oblivion.
The draw distance is better, the weapons upgrade and magic better and also the level up system.
Yes the frame stutters time to time and it has problems but overall i have enjoyed it. I will definatly get the sequel.
And also any game where i call an orc 'the master of many lingering smells' is a winner in my book.

6 - Two Thumbs Down
Sorry to say, but I find it rediculous for the bloke to come out now and say "we were unfairly compared to Oblivion" since anyone who's played "Two Worlds" knows that it was an attempt at an Oblivion clone. Hell, when they were pitching the game all you heard was that they were going to do ____ better than Oblivion, and such and such better than Oblivion.

6.1 - Right on
The only thing unfair was the product that was released on fans as compared to what was expected. This is one of those times where I am glad I listened to reviews. Oblivion was excellent (except for the leveling issues).

Still - if there are significant improvements than I will probably pick up the second one - I like RPGs.
