IGN GDC 2008: Too Human Progress Report

IGN writes: Microsoft kicked its GDC 2008 presence into high gear by showing one of its premier titles launching this year, Too Human. The development team, Silicon Knights, was on hand for the biggest public showing in quite some time to show off the latest build of the game and give attendees some brief hands-on time with the game.

In our short time with the game, we noticed a substantial improvement in the polish on the game. The combat feels tighter and the framerate is a bit more stable. We still had a few instances where the camera wasn't ideal and the game is yet a work in progress, but what we played felt on track. With such an epic game, however, it's tough to get a good idea on how the final product will turn out when you only get to play for 15 minutes.

Still dont know about this one. Id rather they forget about improving the graphics and get a stable frame rate.

Think its gonna be a rent first for me.

Anyone know when this is coming out?

adalwolfe6658d ago

may 2008... gamestop states may 6th..

I think it looks good graphically, i don't really notice the framerate issues you mentioned. Although I am a sucker for character customization and coop gameplay. Practically every coop game with customization/online coop/action is a buyer for me, unless its a complete failure.. *cough*two worlds*cough*cough*..

Genki6658d ago

hat's one of those games that was so bad that the whole world seems to have forgotten about it. PS3 haters don't even use it as ammo anymore, lol.

Blasphemy6658d ago

It's ridiclous that they are not close to finsishing this game. I seriously think this game is going to flop when it comes out.

green6658d ago

why do you think so?
personally i thnk its turning out to be a great game.Different from almost any game coming out this year on the 360 so i think its really going to do well.

Blasphemy6658d ago

It just the early feedback the game was getting. I just don't understand how you can have a game in development for that long and have people who are not impressed with it. Things look to be looking up now but I just don't know about this one.

THAMMER16657d ago

I'm looking forward to Too Human. From what they are showing this game is going to cross RPG and ACTION perfectly. MASS EFFECT was a perfect example of 3rd person shooter mixed with RPG.

RazzerRedux2151d 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.

excaliburps2151d ago

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

IanTH2151d ago

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

Marquinho2150d ago

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

Nitrowolf22151d ago (Edited 2151d 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

darthv722151d 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.

Looper2151d ago

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

Kribwalker2151d ago

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

excaliburps2151d 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.

Fantangoooo2151d ago

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

Neonridr2151d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2151d 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.

DerfDerf2151d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882151d 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.

HyperMoused2151d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2151d ago

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

glennhkboy2151d ago

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

morganfell2150d 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.

Chronicle7802150d 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.

darthv722399d ago

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

Kribwalker2399d 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
