Two Worlds: The Temptation Delayed

SouthPeak Games and ZUXXEZ now name the fall as the release date for Two Worlds: The Temptation, the Windows and Xbox 360 RPG sequel that was previously expected in the "first half" of this year. The announcement also provides a few new details about the game:
Karlsruhe, MARCH 20th, 2008 - SouthPeak Games and ZUXXEZ Entertainment today announced that it will be releasing a sequel to its popular open world role-playing game, Two Worlds. Entitled “Two Worlds: The Temptation”, the game is slated to be available on Xbox 360® and Windows PC this fall.

Taking place shortly after the events portrayed in the first Two Worlds, The Temptation takes place in Eastern Antaloor, in the regions surrounding Oswaroh and the Drak’ar Desert. Featuring as much content as the original, Two Worlds: The Temptation will feature more intricate missions, improved voice-overs and animations, retooled horseback riding, completely revamped combat, and a new game engine that delivers visuals that have to be seen to be believed.

“Our entire development team is now putting their all into making Two Worlds: The Temptation a game that is far and away better than the original,” said Miroslaw Dymek, Chief Developer with Reality Pump explained. “We’ve taken to heart all the comments made by gamers about Two Worlds and we’re going to give them what they want with the sequel.”

“I’m sure fans of RPGs will be pleased with the vast amounts of new content and massive improvements to the core gameplay in Two Worlds: The Temptation,” said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “It’s an ambitious, yet refined title that will surprise a lot of people.”

It does run like ass on a console, I'd guess the FPS rarely got above 30, if ever, when I tried it.

I didn't play it till the US PC version came out and that version already was patched pretty well. At least I think that's what happened. I'm pretty sure this is one of those games Europe beta tested for the US.

Yes, I'm basing this non-opinion off my brief stint on a friend's 360. Terrible game.

So you are mad because your crappy little console can't run a game that belongs on a PC? It is great on the PC. Read what I posted. sheesh.

Now, that being said, nin also said it ran like crap on his console, so I downloaded the demo to try this weekend on my 360, since I have the newest hardware. See if it matters....

Did the folks complaining actually install the latest patch? The patch matters a lot.

Gothic 2 still beats Two Worlds by miles as an "open-world RPG with a story-line," but this game was not the utter crap some are saying.

It's not a matter of opinion, that's why the game has poor reviews. The game had severe mechanical problems at release. It's customary not to go back so many patches later and change opinions; it's called accountability.

Beyond the horror show of Two Worlds' graphics, looking past the amateur-hour-at-the-Apollo balancing, and even ignoring the bitingly bad dialogue, Two Worlds manages to raise the bar for technical issues as well. In spurts from every few minutes to every few seconds, the game will come to a complete standstill as it tries to load its unimpressive-seven-years-ago graphics. Magical effects (like healing) will also tend to create fatal slowdown, and the framerate isn't all that hot anyways. AAA bugs that require restarting your 360 also abound, the perfect frosting to a cake made of garbage and offal.

It's rare that a game releases that is so shockingly incompetent. Online options don't make it any better; they're simply a chance to play a terrible game with other people, in a few innovative modes like "Team Deathmatch." When something this just plain malign comes out, it's cause for a sort of celebration, because every other game will seem better by comparison. If you absolutely insist on playing Two Worlds, at least you can rest easy in the knowledge that every other 360 game you play afterward -- and we're including Sneak King on that list -- will be a better, more polished experience.

The designers had a good handle on what they wanted and they've created a game with a ton of depth. Unfortunately, the execution is flawed. On both Xbox 360 and PC this game is buggy and unpolished, and these quirks will prevent it from duplicating the real key to Oblivion's success: mainstream appeal. The game has some very real issues that should not be overlooked.

Constant lag and freezing — yes, I had to restart the 360 — really drove me away from even wanting to attempt multiplayer again. You're lucky to have a multiplayer match going for longer than 10 minutes, or getting it started, for that matter.

If you're looking for a sub-par RPG with a sub-par storyline, sub-par gameplay, sub-par sounds, and very sub-par multiplayer, then sure, pick up Two Worlds, but I really wouldn't recommend it unless you're a die-hard RPG fan just looking for something new. If you do decide to get Two Worlds for some reason, please do so for the PC because the 360 version just isn't playable at the moment.

Yes, I'm basing this non-opinion off my brief stint on a friend's 360. Terrible game.

Speak of the Devil.

Two Worlds is $14.90 (just got a madness e-mail from gogamer) but the link is broken and goes to a different game, then when you do get to Two Worlds, it says $19.90.

Wait til tomorrow, It is a $14.90 game. I wouldn't pay anything over 20 personally, but then again, most games I don't.

Opinions don't really fit into it.

My bad, I was unaware that if I liked something and you didn't I was, in fact, not of a different opinion. Just plain incorrect in my thinking. Maybe I should see a doctor or something because I enjoyed Two Worlds. After all, if it's not a matter of opinion, but fact, my opinion goes against the reality of the situation, that it is indeed a terrible game.

That's a fact apparently, after all, you said so yourself.

uh - did you play the game? The loots are random in relation to your level and ability......soooooo....mind expanding?

Opinions don't really fit into it. I couldn't get into Two Worlds because it was insanely buggy, combat was bad, voice overs were terrible, it was graphically fubar, etc. etc. Mechanical flaws

Did you play it on 360? The demo for PC? Looks great, runs great, beautiful on my machine. (patch 1.6)

Had the game been from a more capable developer. Gothic III suffered the same fate: from the opening battle the abysmal combat and combat animations determined here was a game I would never play again. I suppose if you like Two Worlds you just have a higher tolerance for bad game development than I.

I know, it's fucking amazing we have different opinions than you. It would help if you'd post first everywhere so we could make sure our opinions match yours.

To be fair, I too thought Two Worlds was a piece of crap. Horribly unpolished, mindless combat, terrible voice-acting, boring quests, etc.

Co-op on the main story arc would be the cat's ass.

A cat's ass is not a good thing. It poops and it smells bad.

I am 'tempted' to get this. Get it? Temptation? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA I AM TEH FUNNI!!!

Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. Please, stop it. You're embarassing me.

Yet another clown not stating why it was terrible. Fausticle just grabs his Game Pro rag and goes by what they say.

Sure TW wasn't earth shattering, but the engine was great, the horse fighting was cool and a first for me. The regular fighting wasn't bad if you had all the skills/tricks but could have been better of course.

Wasn't stellar, i give it a 75%, but it was the closest game I have ever played that gave me the feeling of a Diablo III in 3D that did it right.

Gamerankings seems about right.

I have NEVER gone by those rankings.
Them and Meta Critic - look through the top 20.
Most of those I would never EVER purchase.

One idiot gave Dig Dug (via XBLA) - less than a 50 score.

Christ, I thought this game was terrible. Couldn't stomach more than an hour. Granted it wasn't on the same level of fail as Gothic III, but 65% on Gamerankings seems about right.

The community and a new developer have patched Gothic 3 up to 1.6, so I tried it again and now it's a damn good game.

Crap, I had held off because of what people were saying....but this may be a reason to pickup another bargain. Thanks!
