First Two Worlds II Developer Diary Released

Improvements galore!

Following the UK release date confirmation they provided last week, TopWare Interactive has released the first Developer Diary video for http://www.trueachievements.com/Two-Worlds-II-xbox-360.htm.

The Developer Diary features TopWare Interactive's Creative Director/Project Manager for the title, Scott Cromie discussing the improvements which have been made over the first game in the franchise. The GRACE engine has been utilised to overhaul the appearance of the game. The character customisation mechanics have also been altered to allow more flexibility in the weapon stacking, alchemy and spell-casting options which are available. All of those elements are discussed in more detail in the video:



The Collector's version of the game, named the 'Royal Edition' was also announced last week. The 'Royal Edition' can now be pre-ordered exclusively from GAME for £69.99, ahead of its release on February 4th.

While the first sounds like an unwanted bastard child compared to the PC version (I'll find out soon enough as I have the console and PC version now) This game is actually drawing my interest. It looks beautiful, but hopefully not so choppy this time around. (and that was on PC!)

Alright then that makes sense, I got a bit confused by the wording.

Hard to judge what the visuals will be like at 720p or 1080i but it does seem much improved. The vid seemed pretty carefully scripted with too many promises for my liking. You'd think they would have learned their lesson. I'll be the judge of what's awsome, amazing etc. and I doubt many gamers will be 'blown away' by anything at this point. The last game had too many collectibles, you felt like a pack mule despite the stacking option and 650 armour sets was just overkill. A million spell combinations? Really!? What a waste of dev time. The weakest points of TW were ugly enemy and character models, the AI and voiceover. Hope they spent some money there. That said I'm one of the few buying it first day in NA after an unnecessary wait. Southpeak suck.

Was the first really THAT bad? Because the 2nd looks like a Fable wannabe.
Achievements are nothing, we get it. But thats not gonna make us stop getting them.
