"Silicon Knights' console answer to Diablo finally shows it's a man.
After a famously disastrous showing at E3 in 2006 and the extensive fallout from founder Denis Dyack's unfavorable reaction to the media coverage, Silicon Knights hasn't been particularly eager to show off the progress it has been making on Too Human.
The developer recently chose to show the first new playable code to journalists in the controlled environment of its offices in St Catharines, Canada, and though not without its flaws, the project appears to be finally shaping up into something that could match the initial hype."
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 was beginning to forget about this game.
From the recent previews, it looks like Too Human has gotten back on track. Before the e3 demo, journalists were calling this game an epic like no other. Looking good for the 360 in 2008. :)
cool some more info, lets hope its as good as we hope
Seems boring to me.
The combat is it's weakest link. The combat just looks very awkward, hit detection is way off, animations are almost comical and it's just overal lacking any sense of impact.
Perhaps if I actually play it myself It'll be fun, but just looking at the combat is like watching an elderly couple trying to breakdance. :P
What I'm hoping to see in Too Human is plentiful beautiful, epic, and especially DIVERSE environments. And I hope there will be at least a couple of these 'space hubs'. You know, like the Citadel in ME with NPC's wandering around, shops to buy upgrades, do some mini-games, find some sidequest missions etc. This is where ME disappoints and I hope Too Human really delivers on that aspect.
The story seems very interesting and the graphics are sometimes a bit meh, but overall actually quite nice looking. To me, with this game, it really comes down to the exploration/loot/upgrading mechanics. If they nail those, I'll be very pleased.
