Sony has Two Worlds pub "hopping mad"

Eurogamer: "The Two Worlds II release saga continues: now Euro publisher TopWare/Zuxxez is "hopping mad" with Sony because the PS3 version of the game wasn't made on time.

Everything was paid upfront, TopWare/Zuxxez CEO Dirk Hassinger explained on the Zuxxez forum (reported by Eurogamer Germany) - but a bunch of "lazy buggers" at Sony meant Tuesday's European Two Worlds II launch only happened on PC and Xbox 360."

How is this Sony's fault? What am I missing?

[MeatPopsicle]

Xbox fanboys at Eurogamer still think it is 2006.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

:) well on Dragon Age Ultimate Edition UK/EU version they forgot to put one DLC on disc, which is horrendus, I'm still waiting for a patch rather than a code from EA until I buy it. I know it's Ea's fault but the disc must have gone through Sony's hands in the process.

[Heartnet]

Didnt manufacture the discs on time ^^

[OmarsAccount]

They were supposed to finalize the discs. Even if you're a sony follower, things like this are unacceptable. It would be for any company.

[Seijoru]

I think they swapped it to print GT5's discs hehehe.

[jukins]

unacceptable you mean by not allowing your game to be pirated early like countless pc and xbox games?

[BillOreilly]

Yes that sucks especially since Arcania isnt out on ps3 yet, Two Worlds 2 isnt either, Ps3 missed out on Risen and Divinity 2 along with waiting a year for Mass Effect 2. The ps3 is not the place to be for wrpgs. Heck Oblivian and Dragon Age are the only ones on the system. I would be pissed if i was a ps3 only gamer. Two Worlds 2 looks damn good imo.

[Chubear]

When the hell did Two Worlds become anything close to being important? o.O

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

''not the place to be for wrpgs''

¿Seriously?

1. Risen, was not even ''good'' to mention.

2. Arcania 4 was a letdown, and you can see that just playing it, besides, is worse on Xbox, the best way is to play it on PC, but still, overall, the game is a letdown for the series, besides the Glitches and Bugs.

3. Divinity II: Ego Draconis, again, same case like Arcania, a poor version for a Console, which is the Xbox version only, and a letdown, best way is to play it on PC. Even IGNorant said, they not recommend to get it for Xbox, which is the console version.

Two Worlds 2, is looking at least good, for PC only. Because just to watch the console version of the 1st Two Worlds, please, avoid that.

So, actually, PS3 owners are not missing something important, why PS3 Owners want poor versions and letdowns.

Better, they, the PS3 owners only, they will have the GOTY version of Mass Effect 2, instead of poor wrpgs games and poor series with Glitches and Bug-fest.

You are trying to justify the amount of poor games to make look bad the PS3 Owners only.

¿Seriously?

[OmarsAccount]

Most of your arguements involve saying that they look better on PC.

When that's the case for almost every multiplatform game that PC/360/PS3, so that's not really a viable arguement. Also, those games seem like solid games, especially for the avid WRPG lover. All except maybe for Two Worlds, but Two Worlds II definitely looks promising, and don't judge its graphics on its poor predecessor on console graphics.

[Seijoru]

Maybe they made the PS3 version so buggy that its taking a while? Isn't this their first game on PS3?

[A Cupcake for Gabe]

I don't think they put this trash on PS3. But here's a link to show you how amazing two worlds was /s

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Nothing to break a sweat over.

[kanedaakira]

?

[Heartnet]

This is Two worlds 2.. and if ur relying on met scores then ur missing out on a whole bunch of good games.. Two Worlds 1 was glitchy as fuk and graphics were poor but it was a solid rpg that lasted for hours which few games do..

Two Worlds 2 is avererging a 90 meta score from what ive seen from the reviews so in ur eyes this game is awesome and must be on par with your beloved Final Fantasy or CoD or whateva shit u obv play

I find it very hard to believe that Sony would just suddenly fail to meet a printing schedule for something that's prepped weeks before hand, but it is possible.

Most important thing to remember here is that we shouldn't go based on just one side of the argument. There may have been things 'unfinished' and out of Sony's control that caused this delay.

I mean, seriously, release schedules have been pretty set in stone for everyone else, it's just very hard to believe that a fairly streamlines task like this would result in the failure to produce them on time.

[Heartnet]

Release schedules set in stone.. cough gran turismo 5 cough hehe :) and Sony have niether denied this or said anything about it so its all their fault for not making discs on time end off :)

They are probz to concerned with other tasks as this game doesnt come out in the UK or US for like another 2 months.. bloody south peak

[Sackdude]

CVG, EuroGamer, Kotaku.... are 360 fanboy website.

just you need to get used.

[frostypants]

It's also ironic for the developers of one of the sloppiest developed games of the decade (the original Two Worlds) to call anyone else "lazy".

[big_silky]

it's sony's fault because they're the ones who press the discs. they run the pressing plant.

"The PS3 version wasn't delivered on schedule for release. We can choose our pressing plant for PC and 360, but unfortunately not for PS3."

as i've said before, nobody associated with sony has a fire under their ass about anything.

[Godmars290]

If, by a comment someone made on the article site, BR disc production got prioritized for something called "Man Furismo Jive" then they were just unlucky and got bumped.

Not really fair to them if true, but still, flaming up like that when Sony has bigger things to deal with, I could see them dumping Two Worlds II altogether and not bat an eye.

[Nariko-2011]

Would your comment be so sympathetic? Answer me honestly please.
ps, that is no way to conduct business, I'm glad Sony do not take the stance of their fanboys or they'd make lousy business people. I'm sure there's a better reason and even if there isn't, they wouldn't be so cavalier about it

[Godmars290]

But in all honestly, who really gives a damn about this game? If this is about getting GT5 out at the cost of this title, GT5 wins hand down. If Reach had to be pushed back under similar circumstance, few with a 360 would answer differently.

And sure someone on Sony's side needs to be reprimanded if not fired, an apology given, but its just as bad business practice to take something like this public. Especially if you're talking about Sony screwing a 3rd party dev who's publishing on two other platforms to get their own product out.

[ExPresident]

Very well said Godmars290 - have a bubble on me. Sony is looking at the business side of this just like these guys are. That being said, I guarantee Sony is looking at a priority scale and I'm sure Two Worlds isn't up there.

[callahan09]

I agree with you. I am a fan of Sony and the PS3, but they don't have a fire under their ass at all.

[jack_burt0n]

it needs space to breathe so lets release it just after christmas oh yeah loads of space in jan feb.... do these ppl even look at the ps3 release list, morons.

[Darrius Cole]

Two Worlds sucked. I am sure no cares about Two Worlds II.

[Jazz4108]

Same could be said about killzone 1, so you might want to give it a chance.

[RandomDude655]

Boohoo...developers are such crybabies.

"The PS3 version wasn't delivered on schedule for release. We can choose our pressing plant for PC and 360, but unfortunately not for PS3."

They should have planned ahead for this and sent the game earlier then.

[NexGen]

I thought this was an actual pub throwing a Two Worlds party in the UK lol. Noooooow it makes sense!

[RandomDude655]

lol...well played sir.

Kinda wanna go to that pub now......

[blackburn5]

So something goes wrong and your first action is to go public and blow your top? Why? What does that have to do with us? Isn't that a personal gripe you have with Sony? Is this guy 3 years old or something? The level of developer professionalism has really gone down this generation. I am sure this is something that could have been worked out. @ big_sliky, do you ever stop trolling for even a second?

[rdgneoz3]

Yah, love the professionalism of some developers this gen. Then they wonder why their games didn't sell.

[GrandTheftZamboni]

They have to make up excuses to investors why the game will have flopped.

[Cyrus365]

They can choose their pressing plant for PC and 360, cause there like 100's of DVD pressing plants...there like 4-5 blu-ray plants.

[Gambit07]

DLC, Two Worlds II: Second coming of 2 evil twins.

[The real killer]

The PS3 version was allready messed up, bumped down the game to fits the 360 version and they acuse Sony.

Well, GT5 is much importent than a bumped multiplat game from topware. They can also use DVD becouse the game is allready bumped down, so why Blu-Ray if they do not use the capacity?

[NoOoB101]

Honestly I was happy it got delayed. Only because I was going to have to choose between this and Fallout new vegas but now I can wait till jan to pick it up.

[TANUKI]

Well, there's still plenty of games to play, before TW2 arrives, so...

[dkgshiz]

No thanks.

[TronEOL]

As soon as they said the people at Sony are lazy, I stopped reading. When that shitty developer makes a game as good as Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, Littlebigplanet, God of War 3 OR even Modnation Racers, I'll give them another look.

The last Two Worlds game I played was utter shit, and I'll be waiting for Dragon Age 2 for my fantasy wRPG fix because of it being obviously vastly superior to this garbage.

[maxcer]

"As soon as they said the people at Sony are lazy, I stopped reading. When that shitty developer makes a game as good as Uncharted 2, Killzone 3, Littlebigplanet, God of War 3"

naughtydog, santamonica studios, guerrilla games and media molecule made those games not sony

[email protected] owned yes, but the developers make the games not sony

[PirateThom]

Yes, those companies certainly aren't owned and operated by Sony.

Oh...

[ZombieAssassin]

Pretty crappy deal for them, but honestly I bet he's just making noise about it so more people hear about TW2...because most people I know have never even heard of the first one.

[guzman]

Seriously, who gives a shit? Give me more Jrpgs like Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. Wrpgs can take a flying leap on 360/Pc for all I care.

[maxcer]

good game or bad that's not the point. its about honoring your contract. i bet if this was GT5 or some other hyped game everyone would be up in arms.

[Heartnet]

Not Gt5 hehe that game has been delayed so much people expect it :P

[Beahmscream]

Lol

[stonecold3]

the real final fantasy coming out which is vs 13 and kindgom hearts 3 exclusive for the ps3. thats my rest of rpg this gen unless demon souls 2 comes out peace out

[Heartnet]

Versus 13 will eventually become multiplatform since Square Enix like cash as does any1 :) KH3 i doubt will eva come out on ps3 and yes Demons Souls 2 would be sweeet since the first one was awesome apart from the shitty multiplayer as it was impossible to play a game quickly with your friends

[Nariko-2011]

Sony could murder a whole box of kittens and you guys would argue that the kittens had it coming. You guys are truly the Sony Defence Force.

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

M$ could raise the price of xbox live to $100 and you guys would argue that its worth it. You guys are truly xbox defence force

[edoman20]

Seriuosly guys was 3rd party support was made the ps2 great and its now helping the x360 to still pwn the ps3

If sony dont make things easier for developers and publishers, they are goona be scerwed big time in future projects (a.k.a PS4)

I got a PS3 but this sony elitist POS pilicy are hurting gamers big time

[Nariko-2011]

I want you to take a good hard look at this article and all the nonsense you were saying about a 3rd party publisher. Sony do not deserve to have have their games gimped, but you lot, you deserve it lol. I still cannot believe the blind loyalty I'm witnessing today. Am I being punk'd? Ashton! Ashton Kutcher you better get your skinny ass out here, it aint funny no more

[WIIIS1]

Consistent with everything else Sony being delayed.

[blackburn5]

People can be so stupid. I am sick and tired of idiotic fanboys going on and on about how we defend everything Sony does. Everyone takes a dump on them every chance they get. Everyone in the industry has been bad talking them for years. Everything they do is wrong, overrated or doomed to failure. Every problem is exaggerated e.g. the leap year glitch that everyone jumped on board the moment it was announced.Developers and sites jump on the slightest glitch their games have e.g. GT5 and the slightest mistake in judgement. Microsoft for example screws everyone over constantly developers and gamers and it barely registers. All the $hit they do and the media and supporters try to cover it up or downplay it.3 years of RROD with a 40% fail rate, allowing their system to be hacked, shuting down developers, making you pay for online, exaggerating, lying and blatently insulting the competition and you still support them. In short,people have some nerve to tell us that WE have blind loyalty. end rant

[Jazz4108]

Do you have any clue how many articles I have seen on here that badmouth ms and kinect....it goes both ways.

[BrianC6234]

Two Worlds II? Never heard of Two Worlds I. What in the world is this dumb game?

[Silber]

I play two worlds two on the xbox and it is a really great rpg. Much much better than arcania or risen. Even ghe graphics are good and it runs very smooth. They have learned.it lessons with part one. First class voiceover too in german. Dont know how other languages sounds like in the game. Every wrpg fan schoud buy this. Its great even with some script errors for the cutscenes.

[Masterchef2007]

Its not like the game is a mega blockbuster one or anything of the like. So in the end it is not a big deal

[Dark_Overlord]

forgot this article they made

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Bloody retards

[RandomDude655]

Lol at eurogamer.....do those retards working there actually research anything they write. What a pathetic site lol

[TwistedMetal]

its a rpg where u control one person. You better off playing wow as this games combat is so boring and slow its ridiculous. there is never more then 2 enemies on screen at once.

[radphil]

Despite the fact that this was a sour move by Sony, it still doesn't exclude these devs for trying to take the time to make a public outcry so they can get more publicity for Two Worlds II, which quite honestly I'm still trying to figure out how they got the funds to make a 2nd game.

I mean to be honest, what was the last good game Southpeak MADE. Keyword MADE, not published, made.

[wwm0nkey]

I am loving the game so far, even on my friends low end rigs it runs smoothly, so expect the 360 and PS3 version to be the same as you are seeing currently on PC because DX10 and DX11 support arnt in the PC version yet and will be added in a patch. If you have a PC you guys can buy the english version now too.

This is SONY's fault though they should have had the disc done and have no right to complain, the PS3 version will be out there so they just need to be patient.
