TOO HUMAN - Rumored Next Week Showing - New Details Inside!

Too Human is rumored to be shown some day next week; something that I am currently highly anticipating. Somewhere between 19-25th of March is the day to look out for if this is indeed true!

EGM had a little podcast with Denis Dyack, the president of Silicon Knights. And he does indeed promise quite a lot.

The podcast can be downloaded from the following link:

Some details that I obtained from the xboxyde forum:

http://xboxyde.com/forum_8_18493_1_en.html

* Wants Too Human to "compete with Hollywood in production values"

* Dyack says UE3 engine tweaked to the point that it's almost unrecognizible -- TH has 4xaa, [which UE3 doesn't do]-- but won't elaborate further.

* There WILL be a playable demo out.

* Multiplayer heavily integrated into the singleplayer.

* No one knows what Too Human really is...people will be shocked when they see it.

* Seamless jump in and out of 2-4 player co-op.

* Massive story-line across 3 games, but each game is self-contained. Reminds people to remember that SK is known for their story telling and just because it hasn't been shown for TH, expect nothing less. Theme of the 1st game is "Discovery" - second game is "Revenge" - third is "Enlightenment."

* Release date is set but he can't talk about it.

* Diablo-like drops system for armor and weapons (rare chance at epic loot etc.), powers and skill-trees to customize baldur (i.e. ranged or melee, etc.).

Denis Dyack vs. EGM...Fight! Also, Too Human Update
Outspoken developer goes head-to-head, podcast-****

Be a fly on the wall during a marathon therapy session as Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack confronts editors Mark MacDonald, Shane Bettenhausen, and Bryan Intihar about EGM's too honest coverage of his upcoming Xbox 360 game, Too Human.
The too controversial creator of Eternal Darkness and Legacy of Kain takes us up on our offer to share what he really thinks about the state of videogames, opinionated-previews, so-called playable demos, working with Nintendo versus Microsoft, and so much more (you may want to keep this video handy during the he said/she said portion of the program to decide for yourself whom you agree with).

Plus, hear our thoughts on PlayStation Home, Little Big Planet, and a special trivia question straight from Dyack's mouth about Eternal Darkness.

The week deadline is not official and Dennis said that he wouldn't show it until it is done. He did agree that in the next few months, we might see something.Berserker_2

I see.

Thread title edited, as well as the first post.

god I hope they fixed it from E3. seriously, what were they thinking? from the close up camera you could barely see your character then they went down some stairs and the camera stayed above it so your character was the size of maybe six pixles? what the hell is that?FlawlessSeasons

It was Microsoft's dang fault. They forced them to show up the game at E3, which is still, to this day, BEYOND me. You don't show up a game in that state at an event such as E3 if you want to be taken seriously. I was soooo let down.

I'm still looking forward to this, and after reading the recent updates on this game, I'm highly anticipating it again. The anticipation has, however, been severly scaled down compared to my Pre-E3 2006-hype.

I really wish this game to be great, but too much of this reminds me of Advent Rising.

Lemmings love to diss Killzone left and right, but Too Human sucks beyond repair. Interesting that they hype it, no?Timstuff

So, just because the game had a weak E3 showing equals it's going to suck?

Do I need to remind you of how horrid Halo looked the E3 before it was released? And that's just one example. :|

At least Silicon Knights has a nice track record, the same can not be said for Guerilla Games.

I chuckled :D

Oh wait..it's my own thread:lol:

Sweet! Silicon Knights makes awesome games, even though they always get delayed. Eternal Darkness is still one of the best games I've ever played, and it got bumped a year.donalbane
