Too Human: Flop or Xbox 360s Next Big Hit?

Too Human is produced by renowned Canadian developer Silicon Knights. The masterminds behind critically-acclaimed hits such as Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Eternal Darkness, Silicon Knights brings a wealth of knowledge, story-based design and gameplay expertise to usher in the next-generation of video gaming.

Too Human has been in development for well over a decade dating back all the way to the PS1 era. Now after all this time it is finally nearing it's release. The development road seems to have been full of stumbling blocks related to the Unreal Engine 3 initially. Along the way the UE3 powered Too Human even led to a lawsuit between Silicon Knights and Epic.

With Silicon Knights citing their discontent with Epic's technology, they eventually scrapped the engine in favor of their own build. The early game previews were met with mixed results. So the real question is will Too Human be the next big hit in the action/RPG genre that Xbox 360 enthusiasts have been waiting for?

it's the next big hit, IMO.

in bettween. Id say a 7.5 to 8.5angelkimne

its cant be flop becouse no one think he will get more then a A or AA scores

so he can only suprise with a AAE or AAA scores

The early game previews are no longer relevant. Most recent previews, especially those from 1up, have been far less cynical.

"Says the guy with a Too Human sig." That's right. There's a reason it's in my sig-I used to be more cynical in regards to this game than the average person, but then I started to research it and it actually sounded good.

So is this hyped AAA? It'll probably be the second "flop" for the 360 this year. I'm probably gonna get this, although I'm not sure if I'd call it a "Big Hit".Floppy_Jim

no.... he hyped A or AA max

if he gets more i will be superised

I predict that the game will be a big hit, it looks like the kind of game I would like, so much so that it makes me regret selling my Xbox even more. But a game that's been in development as long as Too Human is quite likely to have something to show for it.ONLYDOD

Well the thing is I do still go on Xbox Live on my brothers 360.

For me personally, I think it will be one of the best, most epic games released for the 360. However, I think that it will more than likely end up being a greatly misunderstood and under-appreciated game for the most part. I do firmly believe that will definitely take more than a few by surprise though.

There just seems to be so much hate and an over all underestimation for this game in my opinion. It is almost as if there are people who want to hate this game, and look for reasons to. And what is funny, is that a lot of the disdain comes from the gameplay that was shown at E3 in 06', lol. The game is quite a different animal now, to say the least.

Too Human for 360 is like Haze for ps3 ;) meaning it will be a flopmingo123

Yes, because both games are so much alike, right?

Not sure, it sounds good on paper, but when I saw gameplay vids it didn't look to oimpressive. Highest I see it scoring is AA.EuroMafia

Well, by diablo 2 videos, i would rate diablo 2 a 2/10, i mean it seems so boring and tedious and crap, but when you play goes to 10/10 addiction status

Same for Too Human, only now Too Human looks great in videos, in a next gen way

And then there is the cyberworld adventuring, and the VAST customization

I agree, but it may be working in the overall feel of the game, remember this is more like diablo than DMC for exmple, and is a huge step ahead of diablo click around combat

It's probably going to flop here and sell a million copies in the real world..heretrix

I think it will do fairly well on review sites. But not sell very many copies.

Like hellgate london was? :S ...

Even if it does flop, I'm just glad it is coming out and they can get started on Eternal Darkness 2 or something.EmilioDigsIt

It's a trilogy.

It's a trilogy.

Its hard to say, looks like it plays pretty much exactly like Hellgate: London, a game like this will require alot of balance and depth to avoid floppage.Meu2k7

it will be a hit , but not a big !

8.0-8.5 !

i love the underdog aspect (especially considering the awful previews) so i want it to be a hit, maybe AAAiLikeTheWoods

weres the awful previews show me atleast three and dont show me any pre gdc 2008, the game has been fixed since then.

i cant beileve people think they could conmpare haze and too human, haze was a generic fps, too human isnt generic in any way.blitzkid1

are you kidding me?

The diablo "inspired" gameplay (now tih only two players!!!). The horrible story and cutscenes. The automated gameplay. The stupid quasi futuristic setting that takes "inspiration" from norse mythology. The terrible graphics

C'mon man, i expected better from you

you did ?

whatever but i think the story looks good and the cuts cenes also look good, i stand by what i orginally said.

flop

nothing i've seen from this game has got me excited

i hope they release a demo so i can play the game for myself and make a final decision, but my instincts are normally right

this doesn't look that fun

you did ?

whatever but i think the story looks good and the cuts cenes also look good, i stand by what i orginally said.

blitzkid1

Sure i did

you're normally spot on when it comes to RPGs. and you can't honestly say that this looks good

So, you think the game has not been polished or improved any since E3 of last year?:lol: That is borderline trolling, my friend. Besides that, just because the game does not appeal to you, it in no way means that nobody else should be interested in the game.

You think it looks horrible, congratulations. You are surely entitled to your opinion, but do not try to come off as being superior to anyone else who happens to be anticipating this game. As you only make yourself out to look quite arrogant and elitist.

Hit

AA exclusive

8.5

But not AAA.
