Too Human: Reflections on E3 2006, New Screen

By now, everyone's publicly aware of the hard time Silicon Knights experienced at E3 last year with Too Human -- an unfinished demo, playable on the show floor, that received constant criticism from gamers and press alike. Since then, however, the studio has "gone dark" and revealed next to nothing about the action adventure since.

They appear a bit more confident about talking about Too Human now, though, as Silicon Knights president Dennis Dyack updated the company's long-stagnant IGN blog with thoughts on the game's performance last May:

Looks like TH's coming along nicely!.

or Gears. All these sci-fi games are starting to look similar, which is kind of depressing. Either way, I hope they came up with a better battle system than last year.

[power of Green]

URT has a cartoony art style.

lol it's not like the 500 pound sword carrying girl-boy genre's diverse. lol

Quote: All these sci-fi games are starting to look similar", Too Human an RPG-ish upgradable 3rd person charector doing super human acts plus being a shooter with a realalistic martial arts component hmmm?. The only thing "similar" in these game are the solid charectors.

You do not care how 360 games turn out you don't want or own a 360 so stop making yourself look foolish.

[DJ]

I said "sci-fi games". Why are you getting all insecure about the 360 when I didn't even mention or imply that platform in my statement? Even you said this game looks similar to Gears of War in the article post...

I'm talking about Art Direction, but you made up some amalgamation of different genres trying to explain what this game does.

[power of Green]

I see you what talking about all the new sci-fi PS2 games and Wii titles seem "similar" ; gotch ya!. I was talking about the current graphical milston(detail in enviroments ect lighting basiclly the advanced effects) these two titles(GOW & TH) share Next-gen beauty all i was saying.

Stop with the childish BULLSHIT(insecure) lol nothing "similar" about these titles exept being next-gen looking using non-cartoon-ish art styles as time goes on, I'm sorry if this style and inovative mix of genre's in every MS pushed title is the current milstone for the 360.

#4.2 don't believe you, that was sarcasm in my post RFOM looks nothing like 360 titles it's not even the same genre.

Ok I'll stop with this pointless Bull you came in here to down talk the 360 simple as that.

[DJ]

360, PS3, etc.

[BIadestarX]

Actually DJ you are doing the same thing you always do. Trying to make xbox 360 game looks bad. You used these kind of comments before about Gears too; where you try to find negative things like Resistance for the PS3 is better than gears, etc. Now you speak of gear (a game you've being very critical of) to compare quality. Obviouly the creators of UE will know how to use it better. This game will have its audience and you will not be part of it, why? because it will never be on the PS3. Period! So, you can say anything you want but this game is going look and play better on the 360 since the PS3 is not getting it; period! Let others "want" this game and go play resistance.

[TheXgamerLive]

In fact somewhat incredible in some moments. we only had some sloppy/bad frame rates at times but in this games infancy it was to be expected.

Some, as to be expected with there tired comments will continue to bash in one stray form or another, so be it.

The game will speak for itself.

However, now it's more so in it's beta verison and we should be seeing somre pretty terriffic things.

I can't wait for this game, I think it will be much better than UT or most anything else cept a few Xbox 360 games such as Gears etc...

This is a truly "different" type of game and story line, I think it's going to rock out all of 2007. sales will also be 1 million plus in it's first week.

[coxyefc]

dj is right

[TheMART]

I can tell you one thing

DJ is never right, because he always lies and twists facts.

Thus, DJ probably is Barbie Ken's little cousin dancing around the room in a pink balletskirt using his PS2 with dancemat and singing star games.

FOr real, if you dislike Gears, you're like I just described above. Period

[RedGr3mlin]

Now we talking :)
That game is gonna rock big time.
Ut3 Engine,lots of weapons,Huge monsters,deep story... what more can you want? =)
BRING ON MORE PICS!!!

And of the record.
Have ANY one heard NOTHING about PGR4 or GTA 4?
I want those games soo bad

[FirstknighT]

Looking Good! It's a shame that this game got alot of slack from the crappy demo but was hailed as AAA title before it! Nobody complained about Motorstorms crappy demo! Anyway...this game will put action games like DMC to shame...

DJ, so what would your prefer? The overused anime style from final fantasy and dmc???

[DJ]

All I stated is that the majority of sci-fi games have very similar art styles, so much that it's hard to easily distinguish between them. And I find this disappointing because there's so many other routes than just the 'Unreal Engine' look. Take Killzone for example. Despite being in the sci-fi genre, it actually managed to look like nothing else within that genre, or on the market for that matter.

Overused anime style of FF and DMC? DMC is actually gothic in its art direction, and FF changes art direction with every title so I'm not sure if you know what you're talking about.

"And I find this disappointing because there's so many other routes than just the 'Unreal Engine' look. Take Killzone for example"

There is only one video released on Killzone 2 and..... it was then and is now and allways will be a CGI movie. Now Killzones “art syle” is the equivalent of a special effect scene from a Star Wars movie. It’s a scripted movie scene “CGI” trailer of a game made by someone else who doesn’t as far I know have anything to even do with gaming (Animation Studio “cartoon”) All of Too Humans “art style” is 100% playable real-time graphics and has been played by humans. So we go from Killzone an Idea to Too Human played. I don’t know what drugs they give you at Sony band camp but as far as I can read no one but Sony fanboys or Sony employees believes Killzone BS.

I wonder if you can control the camera or is it still static?

[vettle1]

yea, gears blows resistance away in all catagories except selection of vehicles. the comparison pretty much makes it clear unless ur a window licker. then i understand.
