"We knew that X06 would not be the right time," says Silicon Knights boss, Dennis Dyack
Dyack has explained why his long, long in the making action-RPG, Too Human, was absent from Microsoft's X06 last week, despite having been playable at E3 earlier in the year.
"This decision to not show at X06 was made immediately after E3," said Dyack, speaking on his blog. "We made the decision to next show the game when we are ready and we knew that X06 would not be the right time."
He continued: "When we do decide to show the game, our goal is to give everyone a true impression of the game -- one that includes story, audio, game play, artwork and technology. Things are going very well and Too Human is shaping up to be our best game to date."
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
Fun fact: I'm one of five people to have completed Too Human and actually liked it. It should be noted that the other four ended up in mental institutions....sadly.
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.
Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
I know they were a disappointment at E3, but I am hopefull this game is going to be much better than its firt impression.
I bet it will
From what I know this game is being funded enormously by MS. So it is in MS best interest that this game becomes a system seller or no less than AAA title. Silicon Knight are no lazy ass's, they can develop some serious titles, I have no doubt that this game will become a stellar title...
so im very glad to hear that they want to polish it off so it would aww when shown.
I wasn't too worried when the developer admitted it might have been a mistake to show the game in it's E3 form. I still believe in this game.
You have to rember with Microsoft they show gameplay even if it is not great. It's cool that they are honest and real with the gamers.
