Whether or not we have a switch that allows you to turn on PvP out in the general world is something that we'll just have to experiment with and see what happens."Īs far as the number of players being able t o do co-op together, Schaefer feels the team will be able to allow a maximum of four to eight players at a time, otherwise, it "becomes a little bit ridiculous". What we'll probably do is give you a very simple arena where you and your friend can go in and fight and see who wins. "It's something we haven't really put a lot of work into at this point. "But again, the emphasis of the gameplay really is co-op. "We don't want to make it an emphasis, but everyone wants to see if they can beat their friends and so we will give you the ability to do that in a fairly rudimentary way," he said regarding PvP. While Torchlight II isn't an MMO, Runic are looking to include some rudimentary PVP within the game. "You may run across the old town of Torchlight at some point but it will not be a major part of the game." It's all a part of making an interesting and varied world. We're doing multiple cities this time, so there will be places you go that are a little less developed and places you go that are a little more developed. "You may have to go out to outposts and far away cities. And the outer areas are randomly generated as well like the underground dungeons, so it will be different every time you go out. And it makes a huge difference over all that we had before in a lot of different ways. "We'll have snowy areas and desert areas and right now we have some really nice rocky cliff areas to explore. So to be able to explore and overland world makes it feel like a real game world and it lets us do a number of different environments.
"One of the other things we hear a lot about Torchlight was that it was a little claustrophobic because it was just a city with dungeons underneath it you just went straight down into the dungeon until you finished the game. "We have got a few overland areas working right now and it just makes the world feel completely bigger and more open and it's really exciting stuff," he told GameShark in an interview. Runic Games CEO Max Schaefer has said the firm's not only looking into some PvP elements for Torchlight II, but it's also very excited folks will be able to go out into the Overland this time around, instad of being stuck in the underworld most of the time.Īccording to Schaefer, the overland area will include different environments with elements of snow, desert, cliffs, and lots of areas to explore.
