Too Human Did Not Take Ten Years

"Too Human's release on the Xbox 360 is edging closer and closer and with that, TGR sat down with Silicon Knights CEO Denis Dyack at this year's E3 to talk about the upcoming release of Too Human. One assumption that everyone makes in regards of Too Human is how long it took to develop, starting on the Playstation 1 and finishing up on the Xbox 360 with ten years of development time. We thought it was about time we got to the bottom of this and asked Denis himself."

But people will still say it took 10 years, regardless.

That is the way this media is.

green5747d ago (Edited 5747d ago )

This is my comment in a previous Too Human article

"Too Human was originally in development for the PlayStation as an action game on multiple disks. It was shown at E3 1999, but shortly before its completion Nintendo announced an exclusive partnership with Silicon Knights(they became a second party dev studio for Nintendo), and the game was moved to the Nintendo GameCube in 2000.

A teaser trailer was shown at Space World 2000 showing what appeared to be a re-building of the PlayStation game. The game never surfaced.Development on Too Human then ceased and they went on to other projects namely Eternal darkness and Metal gear Solid: twin Snakes for the Nintendo Gamecube.

In 2005 Silicon Knights and Microsoft announced a partnership to develop Silicon knights trilogy for the 360.So as you can see 5 years of inactivity on Too Human because they where working on other projects.

And also, if Sony announces in 2015 that 8 Days and The getaway are being developed as launch games for the PS5 in 2019.Will you say that those games have been in development for 10 to 11 years come 2019?Would you choose to ignore the put on hold/cancellation date of 2008 to 2015?

Let me give you another example.lamborghini wanted to make a small supercar in 1990 to sit under the Diablo.they commissioned an Italian coach builder (i think it's Pininfarina, but not 100%) to design a concept car, which he did.

Funds became low for them and development stopped and recommenced when Audi took control of Lamborghini in 1999.The project was then revisited and the Gallardo was launched in 2003,completely different from the original proposal apart from the fact that it was an entry model with 4wd.If you ask lamborghini when development started they will tell you it started in 1999.

You can not add the years of inactivity as development time."

deeznuts5747d ago

Too Human the IP has been in development for 10 years. Too Human for the 360 has not.

dan-boy5747d ago

only the worst fanboys claim that. perhaps they think too human runs on a ps1 engine aswell?

anyway, just hurry up and release this great game. the demo is awsome, and i want this now

HateBoy5747d ago

Yes, the demo was really great, and thanks to a guy called "highwayman" who showed me how to unlock the defender its even better than SK intended it to be. Thanks again man!

supahbad5747d ago

cause if it took ten years to make they might have had enough time to make it good, lol jk jk

thor5747d ago

No game takes 10 years. They could not possibly have predicted the future limitations of hardware 10 years ago. The concept was thought up 10 years ago, sure, but actual full-time development could not properly have started until they knew what console it was going to be on and the specs of that console.

slugg5747d ago

Have you ever heard of Duke Nukem Forever? First release date was listed as 1997, still in development for possible release this holiday... its been an industry joke for, well, 10 years going on 11 now!

Erasmus5747d ago

that's an interesting revelation, considering everyone says that it was in development for a decade.

fafoon5747d ago

But give it ten minutes in the Xbox
And KABOOOOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!!!!!

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.

excaliburps1394d ago

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

IanTH1393d ago

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

Marquinho1392d ago

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

Nitrowolf21394d ago (Edited 1394d 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

darthv721394d 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.

Looper1393d ago

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

Kribwalker1393d ago

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

excaliburps1393d 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.

Fantangoooo1393d ago

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

Neonridr1393d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist1393d 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.

DerfDerf1393d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod881393d 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.

HyperMoused1393d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander1393d ago

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

glennhkboy1393d ago

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

morganfell1393d 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.

Chronicle7801393d 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.

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

Kribwalker1641d 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

2pacalypsenow1743d ago

I was worried it was Harry Gregson Williams.

AK911743d ago

Oh sad to say not that familiar with this man's work but RIP to this individual, his music must have been amazing.

SinkingSage1743d ago

Very sad news, I really enjoy the Eternal Darkness and Blood Omen soundtracks, masterpieces.
