Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General same game, diff name?

As of what iam seeing so far of this new game "beyond Divinity" it is basicly the same game only a diffrent story. And yet its not DD2. I ask myslef why not make this DD2. I was even hoping for a add-on for the first one. But even so I will still buy this game because DD was simply the greatest rpg.

Larian intends to make DD2 in full 3d, not only the characters.
As for me, I'd make DD3 in 3d and think of Beyond Divinity as DD2.

Welcome, btw.

I am pretty sure that the 3rd game of Larian will not be named Divinity 2. It doesn't make sense.
And they have a lot of time to change this name at least 10 times before its release <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

The thing with sequels is, they often get bashed (not sure if that verb fits here, but it sounds nice) because they're "just the same" as the first game. I think that's somewhat the point of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> : to be somewhat the same as <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. Something between a sequel and an expansion.
I think this was the orginal idea anyway - maybe they've changed their mind by now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

you forgot ever..
i like that quote so much it deserves another run-by. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I've all ready set my anti-Santa traps, got the alarms in the chimney, the automatic machine guns, the sensors for the automatic machine guns, the huge roaring hell fire.

I'm all ready for the Holidays! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

1. Command & Conquer
2. Red Alert (set before 1)
3. Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun (set after 1)
4. Red Alert 2 (set between 2 and 1)
5. Generals (set between 4 and 1 (or another universe?))

There's no reason they can't use a different name. Divine Divinity 2 is the currently intended name for the game after Beyond Divinity because Beyond Divinity doesn't continue the story of Divine Divinity. It's just in the same universe.

Also, Divine Divinity 2 will have MMORPG support, I believe. (Or is it just multiplayer?)

Command and conquer and C&C: Red Alert are completely different games. C&C is set in the future, RA is set in an alternative world.

No they're not. Red Alert was advertised as the prequel to Command & Conquer. It explains why the C&C world exists. Instead of Hitler starting the war, it was Stalin. Different war, different technology. It doesn't explain Tiberium, though.

They just didn't plan on making so many more. And whatever happened to Tibreian sun Twilight? And how about Diablo, Blizzard came out with Diablo II right after. They didn't decide to make some other kind of diablo game.

I seriously doubt they will name it Divine Divinity 2. I'm convinced they will drop the Divine from the name.

And it's multiplayer support.

Second : Hm, that makes sense ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

you think <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />2 will noit have multiplayer yet?, interesting
about mmorpg,
i heard of a playstation2 game that SIMULATED an mmorpg.
thus you could check your emails, comunica with "online" friends, but you weren't online.
it simulated this mmorpg world.
euh? crazy?

This post is to relavate stuff and make people laugh

What game that simulates an MMORPG. NOOOOOOO it's the end of the world. This is how that matrix thingee started. Do not buy this game it will be the end of humanity. Hey who is that guy over theire with is suit and glasses. Agent smith you say. Didn't you play in Lord of the rings <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure if you are referring to me, if you do then I do think it has multiplayer support. Having a party system is the first step towards this.

I see what you're getting at. This is now the Divinity franchise so they won't worry about sequal numbers, they'll just have different kinds of Divinity. Maybe...

Yeah another good example is.........

Metroid
Super Metroid
Metroid 2
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2

Those titles are all messed up aswell, although I can't remember which ones go where, and I'm too lazy to research. Looks like divine divinity is going to be yet another one of those titles that are given as examples why games that are going to be games that are going to be used as examples in the future actually make perfect sence, if you know what i mean.

98% of the people hated "Divine" being included in the name.

Larian was kind enough to remove it for those people and I doubt we will see it again.

Goodbye "Divine" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
