There is a Darkan 2 interview at the Armchair Empire, conducted with Alan Patmore, President of Surreal Software, about the game and its development process. Here's someting on what they will improve in Drakan 2, compared to the original game:
What have you done with Drakan: The Ancients' Gates that makes it better than the original?
A ton of stuff! The control system was completely redesigned to take advantage of the PS2. There is a light role-playing game element that allows you to customize Rynn. We added an economy, which allows you to buy/sell and repair weapons, armor and spells. Overall, the game is much more robust than the original. BTW, I always enjoyed the first Drakan on PC - t'was a fun game, imho. |
