We have the first first footage of Two Worlds 2 in-game cinematics, which I’ve posted below. It’s… well. It made me laugh, anyway. The trailer accompanies the teaser website, and check out horn-helmet’s shield. Man!

I have a soft spot for TW1, but this did make me rofl.
10/11/2009 at 09:43 Flint says:
I’ve no idea who I was supposed to root for.
10/11/2009 at 09:45 cheeba says:
The “WHAAT?” gets me every time. Truly ridiculous.
10/11/2009 at 09:46 blankvanish says:
At 1:12 their bodies intersect, yet the backhand delivers. Fantastic!
10/11/2009 at 09:49 qrter says:
Two Worlds 2, goo goo g’joob.
10/11/2009 at 09:50 blankvanish says:
Your supposed to root for Oblivion
10/11/2009 at 10:05 Klaus says:
It has really become apparent to me that murder is taken all too lightly. In games.
Root for the orc(?) guy, the other is obscuring his face, so you know he’s dishonest.
10/11/2009 at 10:06 Schadenfreude says:
What a confusing trailer.
10/11/2009 at 10:16 Okami says:
wut?
10/11/2009 at 10:20 robrob says:
next-gen consoles?
10/11/2009 at 10:23 hydra9 says:
Launch title for PS4 and X720.
10/11/2009 at 10:24 Jack says:
stellar. imagine that action as a movie.
10/11/2009 at 10:27 SirKicksalot says:
If the game is intentionally made in this Frank Zaggarino fantasy epic manner, I’d buy it.
Knowing German devs and their weird humour (Sacred 2 RAWK CONCERT lol), I hope they actually intend to make a parody. That would save the franchise…
Hell, I can totally imagine a fun combat system that looks just like that.
10/11/2009 at 10:40 Okami says:
I believe the developers of this one are actually czech or polish.
10/11/2009 at 13:16 pierec says:
Topware is from Poland AFAIK (but with some German investors behind them), they’re the ones that delivered quite good Earth 21xx series.
10/11/2009 at 13:18 Jim Rossignol says:
Reality Pump and Topware are both Polish, I think.
10/11/2009 at 16:16 dingo says:
Topware was German but went into bankrupcy in 2001. It had offices all over Europe.
The Polish subsidary was saved and is “Reality Pump” today.
10/11/2009 at 10:30 Isometric says:
What just happened? I’m so confused.
10/11/2009 at 10:38 MD says:
What the… *shplonk* Gaaa!
10/11/2009 at 10:50 Isometric says:
*stab* hoooooarrh
10/11/2009 at 10:57 Samuelson says:
That was absolutely terrible, put some effort in next time… PLEASE!
10/11/2009 at 10:58 Bahamut says:
The trailer is like a Lynch movie. Or maybe just something made by a drunk trainee.
What is the link between the escape and the fight ? There is no sense at all.
Or maybe, this time, players will incarnate some kind of minion, forced to obey to a red hood master.
10/11/2009 at 11:11 Dave says:
That was fucking brilliant!
10/11/2009 at 11:16 Kong says:
Here I thought silly helmet design was a thing of the past thx to Peter Jackson. In movies they never fit and almost always look silly, like in this trailer. Why guard only half the face, leaving the jaw vulnerable? Not to mention the fucking horns.
10/11/2009 at 15:49 Spoon says:
Lots of period helmets leave the jaw unprotected, especially if you were throwaway troops. It is probably so weird looking because it is ALMOST there. It does look like it’s missing an inch of material.
10/11/2009 at 12:03 Frans Coehoorn says:
This is the Dragon Age of 2010. Really.
10/11/2009 at 12:04 DarkFenix says:
The first game was so awful I don’t think it matters how good this one is, I’m afraid of even touching a bargepole that’s touched it (with a bargepole I might add).
The first game is up there with worst voice acted games ever, worst balance ever, worst storyline ever and worst (rpg) gameplay ever.
10/11/2009 at 12:39 Hmm-Hmm. says:
Um. All I can think of saying is: ‘Why?’
10/11/2009 at 13:13 Gutter says:
I wouldn’t have dared to release something like this… Wow, that was shit.
10/11/2009 at 13:14 Amqz says:
Gotta love that backhand. Also, when exactly do you see horn-helmets shield?
10/11/2009 at 14:01 GewaltSam says:
The shield is on the homepage which is linked in the news. I have to say, this one is really hilarious, just like the trailer. Watch it for a few moments, you will see :)
10/11/2009 at 14:07 Kenny says:
Need more meat
10/11/2009 at 14:20 RagingLion says:
Lol at the comical and incongruous slap sound.
10/11/2009 at 14:57 ZIGS says:
This is what happens when you hire a a Mexican soap opera director to direct your game trailer
10/11/2009 at 15:31 Gotem says:
no, if it was a Mexican soap opera an appropiate music would tell us who are the bad guys

“It’s just a flesh wound.”
10/11/2009 at 23:58 DerangedStoat says:
haha, I was thinking the exact same thing at the end there.
10/11/2009 at 15:34 Dave says:
There’s nothing wrong with that video that a writer, a director, a character design artist, a couple of experienced animators and the Delete key couldn’t fix.
10/11/2009 at 15:43 M.P. says:
Yeah, it was amateurishly done, but a lot of promotional material is in this industry, except for big releases with a massive marketing budget. 5 years ago we would probably all ogle and drool at something like this.
“Next-gen consoles” made me chuckle though. PS4 launch game then?
10/11/2009 at 16:31 Hug_dealer says:
after the terrible first game. Terrible AI, terrible balance, terrible voice acting, but i can live with bad voice acting.
I definately wont be giving this one a try.
10/11/2009 at 16:47 Max says:
In order to get your RPS embedded videos to play I have to:
1. Press play
2. Click HD
3. Press pause
4. Press play again
12/11/2009 at 01:27 Thranx says:
You are not alone.
10/11/2009 at 17:04 jeff says:
What about the back-handed bitch slap!? Isn’t that worth something?! ROFL!
10/11/2009 at 17:09 Meatloaf says:
Good to see that the atrocious blood effects are back, as is the generally confusing nature of the game.
As a side note, I like the retro-style studio logo in the intro.
10/11/2009 at 17:12 Wednesday says:
Can some one explain what the hell is going on?
10/11/2009 at 17:29 phil says:
At some point a focus group identified hot ninjas, big helmets and bitch slaps as the three key things missing from the first Two Worlds.
10/11/2009 at 20:33 Gutter says:
It seems that (the movie version of) Sauron sent a Clockwork Deer to find a prisoner who escaped a dungeon with the help of a (totally original) Elf with a bow, and a probably-Dwarf. The Clockwork Deer meet (and bitch slap) an intangible Orc with clown makeup, who manage to kill the Deer off screen.
The Aristocrat!
11/11/2009 at 01:28 manveruppd says:
I could totally credit the focus group story as true…
10/11/2009 at 18:25 mcnostril says:
I can’t stop looking at that shield.
It looks so happy to have vomited bats all over.
10/11/2009 at 18:54 Sam says:
The shield is far, far more amazing than I could have imagined.
10/11/2009 at 18:26 Nero says:
Ok then. Hope it brings us more video like .
10/11/2009 at 21:05 captain fitz says:
I think the running soldier dude summed it up nicely:
"My lord, something happened!"
10/11/2009 at 21:48 We Fly Spitfires says:
Um. Ropey combat and giant horns… O… K…
10/11/2009 at 23:59 Dracko says:
two worlds one cup
11/11/2009 at 01:28 manveruppd says:
Imagine the size of the cup!
11/11/2009 at 00:32 Bobby says:
LOL.
11/11/2009 at 01:04 Wasbrough says:
Forget the happy bat shield. How’s he holding that mace without a thumb?
11/11/2009 at 02:48 Grape Flavor says:
Watched the backhand bit again and again. *FWACK*
I don’t know if it’s the weird homoerotic embrace beforehand, or the sound effect, or the way his sword clips through the guy’s torso, or some unholy combination thereof, but it’s gold.
If the whole game is this shlockily hilarious I might just have to pick this one up.
11/11/2009 at 04:00 Mixmastermind says:
I hope the second game also deals with the infection of The Taint.
11/11/2009 at 11:58 terry says:
This looks gloriously silly. Two Worlds had the goofiest dialogue I have ever heard,and I can’t play without cackling with laughter and annoying people for days after shrieking “The Taint!” This appears to be more of the same
11/11/2009 at 14:18 PiP says:
I’ve got a hunch they were trying to faithfully re-create heavy-sword fencing moves in that fight scene. The problem is that these swords don’t look heavy in the hands of these enormous fighters. Not to mention animation is clumsy (lol I’m a poet now).
13/11/2009 at 18:26 DrChi says:
It did have bad voice acting and stuff, but I really liked the first one. One thing of note is their robes were great. They actually looked like robes, verses the “dresses” in Dragon Age: Origins.
16/11/2009 at 16:20 lethalfirestorm says:
The voice acting is awesome. I should know I’m in it.
30/05/2010 at 03:21 kaydee says:
I’m getting most of my kicks out of the comments on this post, even if I’m a bit late to it. You guys are awesome.
