PlayTM: Too Human Preview - Too Good to Be True?

The potential saviour of the exhausted epic action (hack-and-slash RPG, if you prefer) genre could soon be upon gamers. The 3D action RPG creation known as Too Human has been in development off and on for almost ten years, believe it or not.

It first appeared at E3 1999 as a PSone game. Since then it has gone through several iterations and formats, including a prominent classification as vapourware - never to be released. But it has always remained a core project of the under-rated Canadian development studios Silicon Knights.

I am seriously praying for an august release date.

celticlonewolf5847d ago

Looking forward to this game. I got the same type of feeling(excitement) as I got for bioshock and I love that game.

rosebowl235847d ago

Not sure why anyone would be excited about Too Human. Have you all seen the videos? It looks mediocre at best. It pretty much plays like Dynasty Warriors. Just a regular ol' generic hack and slash that could have easily been done on the Playstation 1.

green5847d ago

Mass Effect,Too Human and Alan Wake have been my most anticipated titles for the past 3years.

Mass Effect exceeded my expectations and i am very sure that Too Human will meet my expectations.Can't wait.

celticlonewolf5847d ago

Mass effect was amazing Im so looking forward to the second installment

GiantEnemyCrab5847d ago

I am so looking forward to this game.

I really believe this is going to surprise a lot of people and go down as one of the best titles of 08.

Silicon Knights have a great track record for making great games.

RazzerRedux1397d ago

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.

excaliburps1397d ago

I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD

IanTH1396d ago

Glad to hear it! So, when did you get out of the institution?

Marquinho1395d ago

Too Human was "The Order: 1886" of the 360.

Nitrowolf21397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out

darthv721396d ago

It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.

Looper1396d ago

Hey!! I was told survivors had all signed an NDA! I'm telling!

Kribwalker1396d ago

i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards

excaliburps1396d ago

Yeah, it had a solid story and game mechanics. I remember the controls weren't smartly implemented, and every time you respawned, the animation was so long.

Fantangoooo1396d ago

I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it

Neonridr1396d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1396d ago

Me and my friend beat it so many times. I got the best armor mathematically possible in it. Great game imo but their needed to be more tutorials on how runes work. The one that spawns singularities upon hitting someone was cash.

DerfDerf1396d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881396d ago

I beat it too. The controls were weird, but once I got use to them it was okay. I found the story to be actually half decent. Too bad there wasn't a sequel because I really believe if they have fixed the issues the first game had(controls, camera, etc), it could have been a great series.

HyperMoused1396d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1396d ago

Beat it as well. it had a good story line. Overall it was decent.

glennhkboy1396d ago

I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.

morganfell1396d ago

Fun fact...you're actually one of six :) That game was the reason I kept an Xbox 360 running until they released the very last B/C titles and it was among them.

Chronicle7801396d ago

I thought the game was ok, clunky but ok. Every time I go back to play it though it takes 20 minutes for the controls to 'click' again. Pity most of the advanced combos and controls aren't listed anywhere in the game.

Phoenix Down 87.0 – Too Human

Denis Dyack would disapprove.

darthv721645d ago

I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.

Kribwalker1644d ago

i really enjoyed it when it came out.

It was free recently on xbox through BC. Id love to see this revived but sadly i think the legal issues would stop that

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.
