Too Human developer wants to hear your feedback

The director of Silicon Knights, the developer of the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive game, Too Human, has talked in his latest blog about some of the new features that his team are implementing.

These include:

A solid 30fps frame rate
Redone character models
Polishing the 18 different weapon classes

Denis Dyack said that the feedback they got on the game in the forums was great, "but we want to hear more!" He said the response to the game over the last week was "universally positive" and that his team were really happy to "see so many people share our excitement for our game".

"We have not started optimizing specifically for frame rate yet, but we will have a game at a solid 30fps when we are finished "

Well I sure as hell hope so. 30 fps is the LEAST acceptable frame rate. 60 would be nice (some people can tell the diff. between 30 and 60, I can). I guess a rock solid 30 is better than a stuttering 60...

Yeah, I know what you're saying mate. Halo and Halo 2 were at 30fps if I remember correctly and I had no problems playing them, it was the excellent controls that really made it so playable.

On a console 30fps is fine but on a PC I think you need a higher rate because if you're using the mouse you need that to be able to aim accurately extremely quickly. Hence you're moving the camera around very quickly and a low frame rate would be very noticeable in those situations.

I remember playing Red Faction 2 on the Xbox and it had a very smooth frame rate, but like some other people, I always used to get motion sickness if movement was too "smooth" - it just didn't seem realistic to my brain. I never had the problem when using a PC with mouse and keyboard just with controllers when the motion is unnaturally smooth.

With a console controller it's more imperative you got get the right balance of frame rate and control sensitivity me thinks!

Silicon Knights are about to get paid.

30FPS is good enough. The movies on the TV are shown in 26 (or something like that) so I don't mind the lack of 60fps. What Silver Bull3t says:

"I guess a rock solid 30 is better than a stuttering 60..."

It's looking better and better every update.

RazzerRedux2156d 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.

excaliburps2156d ago

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

IanTH2156d ago

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

Marquinho2155d ago

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

Nitrowolf22156d ago (Edited 2156d 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

darthv722156d 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.

Looper2156d ago

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

Kribwalker2156d ago

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

excaliburps2156d 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.

Fantangoooo2156d ago

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

Neonridr2156d ago

sounds very Polybius to me..

Poopmist2156d 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.

DerfDerf2156d ago

I actually really enjoyed it.

RamRod882156d 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.

HyperMoused2156d ago

I though it was great too, yay us

Anomander2156d ago

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

glennhkboy2156d ago

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

morganfell2155d 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.

Chronicle7802155d 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.

darthv722404d ago

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

Kribwalker2404d 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
