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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
