Reality Pump admits that they bit off way more than they could chew with Two Worlds, citing total inexperience when it came to console development which led to the game's lackluster graphics and gameplay. Development on the title also got discombobulated (yes, that is a word) when their team "tried to fit in every idea" which ultimately "hurt the end product in that it had parts that were underdeveloped". Overall, this was their first step into the next gen ring and admitting to ones' missteps is, well ... very noble.
Reality Pump promises fans that they learned from their Two Worlds mistakes, have a new engine, new voice actors, a new writer and a more focused development schedule planned for Two Worlds: The Temptation. Hopefully the sequel can stand on its own and distance itself from the Oblivion comparisons because, no matter how great the game ends up being, we don't think it'll ever win.

Personally, I'm looking forward to this game. Two Worlds, with all its faults, was a decent rpg. Get rid of the Oblivion comparisons, and fix the broken parts, and I think this diamond in the rough will shine.

Very optimistic, I like it.
Though it still has the bad image of the fist to bring it down.

Oh this game is very tempting to believe in...(har har see what I did there?)
Anyway.. its got potential. I am optimistic for it. If they are good enough to admit their faults, perhaps they can fix them in a good manner. A decent RPG that is for the most part not that buggy is perfect to me. The console needs more RPGs so I think we better not scare away any RPG developers for the 360!

I loved the first Two Worlds despite all it's flaws. Nice to see they haven't given up on it and are creating a sequel which I will buy when it's released.

They should really have just separated themselves from their franchise with an entirely new game. And really, who likes the subtitle "The Temptation"?
Sounds silly to me.

The first Two Worlds seemed like it had some good ideas, but its nearly impossible to get over the massive technical flaws. Shite framerate, random crashes. I think textures not loading was the only thing not wrong with the game. If they fix those and improve the combat system it could be a fairly decent game. Right now its unplayable.
