Microsoft axing big-name project? 'It is definitely not Too Human'

Next up on the list was Silicon Knights' Too Human. Given the prolonged development cycle of the game and the legal battle being waged between Silicon Knights and Epic Games over the former's licensing of the latter's Unreal Engine 3, such a cancellation would not be entirely surprising. However, when contacted by GameSpot, a Silicon Knights representative shot that suggestion down as well, saying, "It is definitely not Too Human."

An Ensemble Studios poster on the official Halo Wars forums didn't specifically deny that the high-profile real-time-strategy spin-off of Microsoft's sci-fi cash cow was cancelled. However, he did post a picture of a man in a tinfoil hat in the thread on the subject, showing exactly what was thought of the suggestion.

As of press time, representatives with Cryptic Studios, developers of Microsoft's upcoming Marvel Universe massively multiplayer online game had not responded to a request for comment, and a browsing of the studio's forums failed to turn up any Cryptic-penned posts on the matter. However, a MMOG attached to a license as powerful as the Marvel Universe will likely get every chance to succeed, and Cryptic's recent sale of its interest in City of Heroes and City of Villains to NCsoft suggests the developer's other projects are going well enough that it doesn't need a safety net to fall back on.

don't leave out the last two paragraph about Cryptic... because you're making it like it's the MMO that's getting canned while GameSpot is basically saying it's not.

why is this rumour being taken so seriously

Danja6009d ago (Edited 6009d ago )

because maybe it's not just a rumor and maybe true that a first party game got the axe....

HALO WARS...haha

sanderFVCKINcohen6009d ago (Edited 6009d ago )

its.....(no need for drumrolls this time).......

"HALO WARS"

I said so many times already....

Its not Banjo Kazooie3, cuz Rare has somehting to prove,inplus Microsoft needs a platformer game. Its not Too Human, there has been to many updates of the game so far, and they also have something to prove. Its, not Alan Wake, not a 1st party developer. Finally, not Fable2, if you had an xbox youll know damm well they just barely released there 3rd diary, now there 4th is on the way.

Halo Wars, I think itll just be suspended, for NOW. I just read recenctly Microsoft needs more staff on Peter Molyneux's upcomeing project which is code named "The Dimitri Project", and ill be the fist to reveal it. it is....drumrolls.....B.C., not cancelled just suspended. It was suppose to release in '05 but MGS out of no where cancelled it. I guess too remake it on the 360.

mesh16009d ago

microsoft axe lazy devs that why ull notice only AAAtitles in 360 i think sony shud tAKE notice opps forgpt sony does not have a software division like Microsoft's game studio hahhahah aowned

Gahigiddy6009d ago

Halo Wars then.

Not Banjo, Too Human (awww), Alan Wake...that's it for "1st party" MS games. Even AW isn't 1st party.

Looking weak MS, and after losing around 15 exclusives they axe another game. Christ.

Bladestar6009d ago

No way is halo wars... we've seing too many videos, and the game seems to be too advance into the development cycle to be trashed... also... we are talking about a Halo Themed game... who will sell lots of copies...

supermandead6666009d ago

You're right, us long as that halo name is on the cover of the box retarded xbots will buy it no matter what.

The Chief of Mjolnir6009d ago

There is something called fans, numbnut. I am one, and I will buy it.

There is a difference between fan and fanboy. Learn it, then come back.

ngg123456009d ago

I'm sorry, but that is the only first party game that has a chance of not being made.

power of Green 6009d ago

Its possible its a secret game thats in development people are hoping for. PS3 fanboys opinions are not even valid as if they know whats being developed in secret for 360 thats 1st party.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran810d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto9d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia10d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger10d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie10d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos10d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie10d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh9d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog144d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned144d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c144d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb144d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal144d ago (Edited 144d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72144d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman144d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows143d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
