Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry - open world pirate action-RPG from Two Worlds developer

[Morkar Left]

I always think it's a shame that promising titles end up badly mostly because there's not enough funding to develop it long enough.

 

[Perkel]

So no Two World III then ? What a shame.

Couldn't get enough generic single-player-MMO-meets-Oblivion with laughable writing and shitty combat?

Yeah but it was "fun" as game didn't take itself seriously. Especially magic system in which i could create dead bodies rotating shield.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Their modern games (Two Worlds and especially - Raven Cry) sucked many dicks, yet TW might have some cool elements (whacking mobs or looting or crafting) but their older stuff were better, including Earth 21xx (Moon Project was noice).

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Well, at least I still have the modded TW2.

Earth games are good, it's a shame most people think of it as the "red bull game".
On topic: what will happen with RP's shitty drm?

 

[Perkel]

including Earth 21xx (Moon Project was noice).

It is a shame that 2160 happened. Spend shit ton of time playing 2140 with expansions and then spend even more time playing mostly ED in 2150.

I think 2150 is one of the best RTS games i have ever played. It took Warzone2100/Homeworld idea of starting with resources and units from previous mission, upgraded that with much more robust unit research and creation system + experience and then it featured 3 distinct factions + goal that wasn't end all mission but gather resources and send them on orbit.

2160 basically went full backward on Earth core design and stripped away everything that was fun.

Beside Warzone 2100 and Battle Isle Andosia War i don't remember any other RTS that had as good base management as 2150.

Dat heavy laser towers !

edit:

Also loved their take on damage systems. Plasma, temp and normal damage. It made player to create squads that did one thing good but lacked in other thus you had to for example set up squads with proper AA defense because your laser tanks wouldn't do shit against them or you could build simply tanks that had overall lower power but each had AA gun in case of air assault.

Emost people think of it as the "red bull game".

I don't know about this. Please, can you explain?

Isn't it a bit too harsh, even for the codex ?

2140 had a big red bull ad right at the beginning of its intro.

I wonder why that hasn't become industry standard? Free money!

Most corporate brands probably don't wanna be associated with the shit games coming out these days.

Meh, a liczyłem na Two Worlds III... Nie ukrywam, że jest to jakieś wielkie zaskoczenie, bo po ultra słabym Raven's Cry należało się tego spodziewać. Za dużo było kombinowania. Studio zamiast rozpocząć pracę na Two Worlds III po sporym sukcesie "dwójki" to zaczęło się strasznie motać. Ok, dodatek do Two Worlds II był jeszcze do zaakceptowania, tym bardziej, że pod względem historii jest to najlepszy TW. Ale późniejsze projekty... Sacrilegium prezentowało się ciekawie, ale zostało zawieszone, Iron Sky to bardzo średnia gierka, choć mogła dać chłopakom odpocząć po klimatach fantasy.Wtedy nadeszły kluczowe wydarzenia dla Reality Pump: odejście Mirosława Dymka, który zajął się tworzeniem gier na smarfony i tablety, a nieco później otwarcie krakowskiego oddziału CD Projekt RED do którego odeszła większość załogi. Myślę, że po tym wszystkim nawet gdyby zaczęto tworzyć Two Worldsa III nic by z tego nie wyszło.

Interesting.

Translato di potato, s.v.p.?

TopWare denies that Reality Pump is bankrupt / will be closed.

Update: Following this morning’s report, TopWare replied to our queries to reassure us that Reality Pump has not, in fact, been closed. According to a representative, Reality Pump is divided into multiple business units, and just one of these has applied for the local equivalent of chapter 11. This has been widely misinterpreted as the entire studio closing.

“We see this more as a restructuring as it happens from time to time,” TopWare told us.

Looks like someone is trying to get rid of some debt.

There's still "hope" for Sacrilegium then.

I don't feel bad when bad developers go out of business. Their games have been, at best, mediocre and even that is being charitable.

 

[Baron Dupek]

. Their games have been, at best, better than AAA tier of RPGs but that's not difficult.

Two Worlds 2 wasn't better than Skyrim. Not saying Skyrim was great but TW2 is vastly overrated here for some reason. It was shittier than Oblivion.

I'm not completely sure about this, but TW2 was certainly shit. Not in the broken way but it was just so banal, generic, boring and unappealing. Crafting and spell systems were pretty good but nothing else in the game was.

First Dymek left to make smartphone garbage, then most of the talent/veterans left for a new CDPR studio in Kraków, so nothing could really save Reality Pump at this point - not 'even' a Two Worlds III.

This game summed up in one image:

Good LP of this trainwreck: http://mendrinkincoffee.com/2015/04/ravens-cry-episode-1-dreadful-pirates/

 

[pippin]

There are more than one kind of swordfighting styles depicted in that gif.

 

[Mustawd]

Can't wait for Raven's Cry 2.

 

[FUDU]

I heard it will be out shortly after the golden babies fly. Can't wait.
