Nick - So we'll start with the big one: Are we going to see Too Human this year?
Denis - Yes! Our Launch date is officially going to be August 19th.
Nick - The game's been in development for some time now, it's on its third platform, is it meeting your original vision for Too Human?
Denis - I would say overall it's surpassing it. When we started thinking about the original vision, it really was from a contextual point of view. We wanted to bring up the invasion of technology in society, and that message is very strong in Too Human and will be strong in the trilogy. As we started working with and partnering with Microsoft, we became very ambitious on other levels. The one was combining action with RPG, and when we first started thinking about it, it was kind of funny and ironic in a way. We wanted to combine action with role playing as well as hunting and gathering elements. It's perfect for co-op which is what we wanted to do from the beginning and we just went ahead and did it without thinking about it; without thinking about how challenging it was going to be. And it was challenging. To see those things interacting now near the final stages, I'm confident and everyone here is very happy with the game, Too Human is a game that I can confidently say like no other I have ever seen. The gameplay with the fusion of those two elements alone make it something really really special. The graphics and engine, all that stuff is really really awesome, but the gameplay and fusion that we did really stands apart."
The action-RPG by now-defunct Silicon Knights is now free for Xbox gamers! Check out the Too Human free direct download link with armor sets here.
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.
I completed it and kinda liked it. Controls were iffy but overall, I dug it. Shame Dyack was crazy. xD
I have never played this, mostly because I didn't own an Xbox prior to a few months ago Def. will check this out
It certainly has a cool story and its a good game. it was just marred by long development time and kind of egotistical creator.
i really liked this one too. Always wished for a sequel, but sadly i don’t see it in the cards
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.
I can't count the number of times I finished this game gridding for gear. Weird control but I liked it
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.
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.
I remember that I played the 1st stage. The control was so bad that I couldn't force myself to continue.
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.
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.
Liked not loved. It's like a cheap dominos pizza it's not great but it's serviceable if your starving
I liked this game. It has it's flaws but the story and mechanics are pretty good. It still holds up today.
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
He worked in the game industry since the early ‘90s
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.
