HEXUS.gaming interview Topware Interactive managing director on its upcoming rpg, Two Worlds: The Temptation.
"HEXUS: With comparisons made to one of the most iconic RPG titles, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, do you think it had a negative impact on the success of Two Worlds and the way it was received with the gaming media?
James I think the comparisons to Oblivion helped get interest in Two Worlds initially, but ultimately hurt it in reviews. On the surface, both games are similar in that they're open world fantasy role-playing games. Beyond that, though, they differ quite vastly. It seems like most everyone had it in their hearts that Two Worlds was essentially going to be Oblivion 2, and when that didn't happen we got torn apart."
