Two Worlds demo is up, title update coming

Posted Nov 8th 2007 9:30AM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: News, Xbox Live Marketplace

SouthPeak Games has informed us that a demo of the open world RPG Two Worlds is now available on Xbox Live. Just to be sure, we checked, and sure enough it's up there. Two Worlds is pretty much the closest thing we've got to Diablo on Xbox Live (apart from Phantasy Star Universe and the upcoming Too Human anyway), so if you've got a hankering for the demon slaying and loot gathering of yore, give it a spin.

SouthPeak also lets us know that a title update for the retail version of Two Worlds is on the way, and will include several fixes and updates asked for by the community. Check out the list of changes after the break.

Two Worlds releases in July, not August

Filed under: News

Two Worlds has seen so many release date changes it's getting hard to keep track of them. Back in May, Two Worlds was set for a release in July. Then we heard just last week that the game would be released in August. Now, speaking to GamingTalkHQ, SouthPeak has announced that the game will be coming out in July after all. Specifically, a SouthPeak representative said that the game will release on July 31st (assuming that this time the date is correct anyway). Whenever Two Worlds does come out, we hope it's worth the wait.

New impressions of Two Worlds roll in

Eurogamer recently got their hands on an early build of the Xbox 360 version of Two Worlds, the open world RPG from Reality Pump and Southpeak. Eurogamer notes that the game's constant comparison to Oblivion is not unwarranted, and that the games actually share quite a bit as far as aesthetics and genre are concerned. Like Oblivion, Two Worlds gives players many, many opportunities to avoid the main storyline. Yes, there are sub-quests aplenty, so many in fact that you could probably spend dozens of hours in the game before beginning the main quest at all. The article does note, however, that many of Two Worlds' graphical elements (particularly human faces) don't hold up well compared to Oblivion. Likewise, the combat -- both magical and melee -- looks as though it could get repetitive quickly. Eurogamer remains hopeful that combat will be spruced up in the final version. They also believe that Two Worlds' much vaunted multiplayer mode could become the feature that sets the game apart. All in all, Eurogamer wasn't floored by Two Worlds, but they're looking forward to spending more time with the finished version.

Our question to you: is a free online multiplayer mode enough to make you consider Two Worlds?

RPG fans denied: Two Worlds delayed

The official Two Worlds website revealed today that the Xbox 360 version has been delayed. Though a reason has not been given, we know that the game will not be releasing alongside its PC cousin on May 9th. The official website does note, however, that the console development "ran like clockwork" and that the final product "leaves nothing to be desired." In other words, it sounds like the game is being held up by the publishers, not development. Of further interest, according to the Two Worlds site, a German magazine by the name of 360 Live has given Two Worlds a 9.3 out of 10 saying, "A fantastic RP experience, full of life and ideas... who would ever have thought that Oblivion could be dethroned so fast? This Two Worlds is indeed a worthy successor!!"

Any Oblivion player will tell you, those are hefty words of praise. It will be some time before 360 owners can judge the veracity of this review, as a new release date has not been set.

New Two Worlds trailer impresses

It's been some time since we've seen or heard anything new about Two Worlds, the upcoming online RPG from Southpeak Interactive and Reality Pump. Lucky for us, a new trailer for the game has been released. The trailer shows off the the game's environments, characters, and some combat as well. Graphically, the game is looking mighty impressive, with visuals comparable to (but not quite as good as) Oblivion. The towns feature some particularly nice textures. There are several different weapon types displayed in the video, including swords, staves, maces, and spears. The video also shows glimpses of dual wielding and magic. All in all, Two Worlds is looking pretty decent. Check out the video and tell us what you think.

Monster Madness: a little too scary

Filed under: News, Fan stuff

We had planned on posting these impressions yesterday, but we were just swamped in ~~Oblivion~~ paperwork. A Monster Madness demo dropped yesterday, and we were raring to give it a go. Being big fans of dungeon crawlers like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and more recent titles like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, we were excited to give Monster Madness a go. A typical dungeon crawler with a twist of horror movie camp? Sounds great. At least, it did.

Two Worlds date confirmed, MMOG confusion

Posted Feb 5th 2007 10:45AM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: News

Having uncovered the UK release date (May 9th) for Two Worlds, we would not be satisfied until we had a US release date in hand. Having contacted the game's developer, Reality Pump, we can now confirm a worldwide release date of May 9th. Two Worlds, for those that don't know, aspires to be a multiplayer, open ended RPG in the style of Oblivion. With any luck, it could bring solitary, single player Oblivionites together.

In other news, there seems to be some confusion regarding the recent announcement that Two Worlds has gone massively multiplayer. According to IGN and 1UP, only the PC version will be an MMO and the 360 version will remain restricted to 8 players. Other sources, however, maintain that both versions will make the MMO jump. Meanwhile, the official Two Worlds website makes no distinction between the two versions. Finally, the official press release makes no note of platform exclusivity either. Whatever the 360 version's fate, we're still excited for some multiplayer RPG action.

Check out the press release and make your own judgments after the break.

Two Worlds becomes massively multiplayer

Posted Feb 2nd 2007 3:30PM by Richard Mitchell
Filed under: News

Hot on the heels of the official UK release date comes the news that Two Worlds has become a true massively multiplayer online game. Previously restricted to 8 players online, Two Worlds will now accommodate thousands of players online at one time. Players will be able to form groups competing to solves quests, fight in the arena, form armies, or simply enjoy a pint in the virtual pub. Not mentioned is whether or not a monthly fee will be instituted now that the game has become an MMOG.

If you've been looking for an alternative to the twitch action of Gears and Rainbow Six, Two Worlds might just be the game you've been looking for. The idea of an open ended online RPG in the style of Oblivion makes us positively giddy. How about you, are you looking forward to Two Worlds now that it's an MMOG?
