ToScA- · 2007-03-14 10:58:14

Too Human is rumored to be shown some day next week; something that I am currently highly anticipating. Somewhere between 19-25th of March is the day to look out for if this is indeed true!EGM had a little podcast with Denis Dyack, the president of Silicon Knights. And he does indeed promise quite a lot.The podcast can be downloaded from the following link:http://zdmedia.vo.llnwd.net/o1/Podcasts/EGM/031207.mp3Some details that I obtained from the xboxyde forum:http://xboxyde.com/forum_8_18493_1_en.html* Wants Too Human to 'compete with Hollywood in production values'* Dyack says UE3 engine tweaked to the point that it's almost unrecognizible -- TH has 4xaa, [which UE3 doesn't do]-- but won't elaborate further.* There WILL be a playable demo out.* Multiplayer heavily integrated into the singleplayer.* No one knows what Too Human really is...people will be shocked when they see it.* Seamless jump in and out of 2-4 player co-op.* Massive story-line across 3 games, but each game is self-contained. Reminds people to remember that SK is known for their story telling and just because it hasn't been shown for TH, expect nothing less. Theme of the 1st game is 'Discovery' - second game is 'Revenge' - third is 'Enlightenment.'* Release date is set but he can't talk about it.* Diablo-like drops system for armor and weapons (rare chance at epic loot etc.), powers and skill-trees to customize baldur (i.e. ranged or melee, etc.).1Up goes on about the podcast:http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157968Denis Dyack vs. EGM...Fight! Also, Too Human UpdateOutspoken developer goes head-to-head, podcast-****By Jennifer Tsao03/12/2007Be a fly on the wall during a marathon therapy session as Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack confronts editors Mark MacDonald, Shane Bettenhausen, and Bryan Intihar about EGM's too honest coverage of his upcoming Xbox 360 game, Too Human.The too controversial creator of Eternal Darkness and Legacy of Kain takes us up on our offer to share what he really thinks about the state of videogames, opinionated-previews, so-called playable demos, working with Nintendo versus Microsoft, and so much more (you may want to keep this video handy during the he said/she said portion of the program to decide for yourself whom you agree with).Plus, hear our thoughts on PlayStation Home, Little Big Planet, and a special trivia question straight from Dyack's mouth about Eternal Darkness.

[QUOTE="donalbane"]Sweet! Silicon Knights makes awesome games, even though they always get delayed. Eternal Darkness is still one of the best games I've ever played, and it got bumped a year.JiveT

People tend to overrate ETERNAL DARKNESS imo. The gameplay got pretty stale after a few "time zones" and it started to feel like a chore more than a cool experience. It started off strong then came to a screeching halt. I didn't bother finishing the game I got so bored with it. I really liked their legacy of kain stuff though.

Really? I loved that game. I've played it through 6 times. I love the Lovecraftian influences.

[QUOTE="Timstuff"] I really wish this wasn't going to be a trilogy. It's bad enough that SK is wasting this much time with ONE sucky game. They should cancel it IMO and get started on Eternal Darkness 2! :evil:

Do you even read the fanboy-babble that you post? :? 1. Just because they had a mediocre E3 showing doesn't mean the game will be mediocre, Halo is evidense of this, as was Eternal Darkness. I suppose I could attack your alliance by mentioning how mediocre Lair's E3 showing was, yet cows still hype it... 2. As far as Eternal Darkness 2... the original wasn't nearly as developed as Too Human. Silicon Knights have had this idea in their heads for over 8 years, and the trilogy is already fully developed (as far as story goes), down to the smallest detail. According the magnificently talented company (which, in hoping for an ED2, you appear to agree that they have talent), Too Human will be the game(s) which defines the developer. Try listening the podcast, and inform yourself rather then attacking with a blind eye. The only real problems the game suffered at E3 was the framerate and the camera, both of which have been heavily improved since then.

Is this bound for a 08 release? It looks to me like MS can take the luxury to release this on 08 because the xbox360 has such a strong library this year.

ED was probably one of my favorite's Survival Horror/Phsicological thriller game of the last gen generation, even tho it wasn't as scary as some other well known titles, yes I liked it more then RE4(runs aways ):P . Its interesting to hear the hole case going on with the ED rights, maybe Nintendo had to do more with that game then alot of people are willing to admit and it will be very interesting to see how this hole thing will turn out in the future, anyway SN have said it themselves working with Nintendo again some time in the future is always a possibility so who knowns.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=10931&type=mov&pl=game Most notable issues would include: - Poor framerate. - The camera was typically too far out. - Mediocre effects. - Clueless AI. Of course, all these issues have likely improved, drastically since that showing (nearly a year ago). Some argue that the graphical quality wasn't the greatest, but we know that has improved:

Short answer: that was nothing but a squashed rumor. Long answer: http://www.gamersreports.com/news/5221/too-human-delay-rumors-quashed/

Umm... Firstly, this will be an amazing game Secondly, anyone who thinks E3's showing is relative can go die! Lastly, I doubt that after Silicon Knights' head honcho blasted EGM, and the industry for showing games before they are finished, will show Too Human at any other stage than finished

In the podcast, he suggested that they were going to show Too Human once it was ready for public viewing.
