In this second part of GamesIndustry.biz's exclusive interview, they talk to Dyack about the evolution of his development studio, how working with Miyamoto and Kojima has influenced the company, the key areas of focus for upcoming Xbox 360 title Too Human, and why there's a real need for only one home console format.
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.
I'm not sure I agree with Denis Dyack about there being one console in the future, but I do see where this is very possible.
The trilogy thing only works if the game in truly imersive and has an impact on the gamer emotions or the story line is equally compelling. I hope this is the case because I have made plans to buy this game.
God of war is a powerfully action packed game with a equally killer story line I will be happy if this game comes close to that by at least 80% - 90%. Over all I expect a totaly awesome game.
But more and more I am begining to love this guy. I was reading his conversation about Marketing video games ...and this guy gets it! Gaming critics are just glorified fanboys for the most part right now...we need more actual critics. Anyway, he has passion and sensibility in the industry which is a great mix.
Interesting times are ahead of us and I can't wait to see what the future holds over the next couple of years! There may just be one console for a generation one day but I just want a virtual age to begin to make me a happy man! I have a lot of good faith in Too Human and think that Dyack is going surprise us all once it drops! It must of been a great learning experience for him working with Miyamato and I think it's cool how he doesn't favor 1 console over another!
