Too Human Demo was a huge mistake

Releasing a demo for too human was a huge mistake. 10 years in developement and ppl are already ripping on a game just bc of the demo. also a demo doesnt even show off everything u can get in the game, which is what too human is all about. ive never seen a game get so much critisism after a demo was released.

so what do u guys think? if u hated the demo will u still try out the real game? and how many ppl went from wanting this game to def not getting it?

maybe

edit: btw I liked the demo. so i will probably rent the game when it comes out at least. or if it gets good reviews, i'll buy it.

Ok the guy above me needs to realize what a demo is. A demo is supposed to get people who have not researched the game a lot, excited about the game. To look at what the game is. It is also supposed to get people looking forward to the game even more excited. I realize that it is a demo, but while gaming has become a huge industry the people who play games are not all die hards or even very deep with impressions. Many people who play look at the surface of the game and pass judgement. It is unfortunate but the world we live in.

As for the game, I thought the demo was horrible. It felt like they just took a random part of the main story and just cut and pasted to make it a demo. I would have thought the demo would have been great if they just put me in an arena gave me a tutorial and sent waves of enemies at me. I mean I do not even know anything about the universe and let alone the controls. I could read the advanced combat in the menus but even that sucks. It does not even tell me how to regenerate health. Do you just pick up orbs? People say Mass Effect's menus were bad then what do they think of Too Human. It's about 5 steps back from Mass Effect, and I thought Mass Effect's menus were great.

I was thinking of getting Too Human... Well the whole two person co-op was a huge let down but not a deal breaker. So it was between Fable 2 and Too Human. While they may not be the same they are similar enough since the co-op is what I want, and with Fable 2's showing at E3 it looked even better. With four player co-op it was hands down Too Human but not so much now. The scales have decided the die cast. Fable 2 has won my attention and $60.

10 years? that's before the first xbox... anyway, I wasn't hyped for the game based on the videos I saw. When I played the demo I wasn't too impressed. The gameplay was just ok to me, but the cinematics and animations appear as if it could use a ton more polish. I know that a lot of people could care less about motions, but I'm personally going to school based on animations, so it's hard not to pick it out.a55a55inx

Too Human is awesome. There's no point in trying to convince people that it is because it seems like the cool thing to do is to jump on the "Too Human sucks" bandwagon.

Not even going to explain why it's such a great game. I've done it too many times already.

yeh i agree they should of just released the game then people could fully play it.

Hey ppl....IT'S A DEMO!!!! Guess what that means? It doesn't have all the pretty details and next gen goodies that the full games does. What is up with everyone now-a-days? First it's the Youtube critics, now it's everyone is an expert game critic. Just give it a rest and put this burnt out topic in it's grave. Trazish

yeah, take a look at the motorstorm, f1, resistance, virtua tennis, conan, battlefield, mgs beta, jericho, ALL THE DEMOS ON PSN! they are exaclty like the actual games!

dont say it a stripped version and criticise what people think! its a level ripped from the game and is representing what its going to be like....

which is EPIC FAIL!

Well, I agree with you about it being terrible, but you're wrong about the 10 years. It was a concept that SK wanted to develop for the past 10 years. It hasn't been in development that long.

Demo's are not some, incrediblly stripped down version of the actual game. That's why they are released, to show you what the game is like. Not what it's like today with a year of development time to go.BlueTimber

Sometimes it happens though. There was a game (I can't remember the name I'll have to go back through my mags) that a game magazine reviewed and it wasn't even the final code! So basically they reviewed a demo. The mag printed a retraction and said that the game would be re-reviewed when the received the final build.This was a major magazine, I think it was EGM or GameInformer.

Damn I wish I could remember the name of the game!

I've played the demo 7 times and I'll be picking this game up on day one! Loved it...:)BioShockOwnz

I'm definitely with you, I played it twice and it just makes me excited to play the game, it's a definitely day 1 buy for me.

Agree.

Cant wait.

I think Silicon Knights puts out some good stuff..

Does everyone forget Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes were released during that timebmcookie797

Honestly, I'd rather have SK rerelease Eternal Darkness with a new 3D camera and updated polys/textures instead of Too Human.

I would rent it possibly buy it,

I like the story but don't really care for the controls, if they did it more like an action game i think i would've enjoyed it more
