Two Worlds Achievements revealed
Two Worlds: Oblivion with Live co-op
IGN posted a quick and dirty un-preview of Two Worlds. They had planned to actually play the game, but were foiled by a hardware failure (3 red lights?). Still, they had the developers on hand and decided to ask some questions. Two Worlds -- as we've reported in the past -- is an open world RPG in much the same vein as Oblivion. The similarities are obvious: a huge world filled with knights, monsters, horses, spells, weapons, it's all there. What really separates Two Worlds is its online components. First and foremost, 8 players are able to join in multiplayer co-op, but we knew that before. Another very cool feature we didn't know about before: players are able to create their own spells by stacking different effects upon one another. Once players create a new spell, it can be named and registered online. If that player is the first player to register a certain spell, the name will permeate the online world. We can't wait to discover the fireball spell only to find out that someone else named it "n00b k1LL3R."
If there is one fault with Oblivion (and the Elder Scrolls in general), it's that the game is a very solitary experience. The idea of a similar game with online co-op is positively delicious. Here's hoping Two Worlds delivers.
Two Worlds official hype launches
The official website for Topware Interactive's RPG Two Worlds has been up for barely 24 hours and Xbox 360 News is already calling the game an "Oblivion killer":"According to Topware Interactive, 'Two Worlds' combines the extremely dynamic and sophisticated combat system with the meaning and freedom of exploration exceeding the accomplishments of other games of the genre. Their goal is to deliver a superior Role Playing Game to the PC and Xbox 360 market where players have a real chance to shape the game world with their actions - to an extent that has yet to seen in other productions. The game will feature a strong, non-linear storyline, mind blowing graphics, and stunning combat sequences. Can you feel the hype? However, these guys do seem to have good reason to lay it on thick, and until they are proven wrong, I will shamelessly believe every word they say."
Something tells me our readers will be slightly more skeptical, at least until they get a first hand look at ESIV on March 20 and decide it's not up to expectations. Check out the screenshots...sorry...moveshots and judge for yourself. Two Worlds is supposed to be out in November 2006.
