Just watched The 1UP Show, episode 107 (25:28 into the video) where they have a nice discussion about the game, video, and interview with Denis Dyack. While the game sounds fun, looks ok, and supposed to have that Diablo addictiveness (I'll hold final thoughts for when the game is actually released, or a demo is given), I can't help but wonder if this game is really Trilogy material. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm all down for more of a great game, if it turns out great. I know it's too early to tell, but from all the videos and previews, I just don't see too many people being interested in this game long enough to stick around for the whole trilogy. I'm thinking it may do better for Silicon Knights to make the extra games as DLC instead. Thoughts?

Not even sure if its good enough to be made at all to be fair, but then again with each new glimpse of this game i think more and more of it, so maybe it will be a good game maybe it wont.

I dont think we can judge whether its good enough for a trilogy until we complete the first one.

I think the game looks good enough to be made, I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of people who are going to buy this game at day one. Just like I'm sure that there are a lot of people sitting on the fence for this one. If anything, when the demo comes out on XBLM, a lot of people those people will make their decision off of that, so hopefully SK puts out one heck of a demo.

I'm interested in the game, but the lack of news, previews, developer commentaries and the constant delays make that interest fade. I'm curious to see how it turns out, but I'm not overly optimistic.

I don't think it's too early to talk about a trilogy when the Developer themselves are planning on this game being a trilogy from the beginning. In those regards, it makes you think how much of the story are they going to skimp on because they already want to do two more games after this one.

Well Dennis D wants it to become a triology, and the material is definetly enough to validate a triology.

The Too Human universe is huge so i have no idea why you think it would be possible to use episodic content or something like that. It just wouldn't work. If it is as good as DD want's me to think it is it deserves a triology just as much as Mass Effect does.

Trilogys are the in-thing these days. Mass Effect's also going for "we've decided we're doing a trilogy before the first game has even released". To me, it just seems like they're coming up with an excuse for a cliffhanger ending before the game's released so people can't complain.

As for Too Human, I'm not sure about it. Silicon Knights have a fairly good reputation, but this game's development has been dogged by so many problems that I refuse to raise any sort of hope for it. Better to be pessimistic and surprised than optimistic and disappointed.

Skimp on the story? Are we talking about the same game?

Each of the tree will have individual full fledged stories + one continous story trough the triology(this isn't Halo :lol: ). Granted that the triology is made. Wich depends on sales if i remember DD's statements correctly.

Trilogy? The game hasn't even gone gold. And with at the litigation circling the company and competitors, I wonder if it will even be released. Haha, I want to at least play the game before commenting on a trilogy.

I understand that there's supposed to be three full fledged stories, but I'm not getting the feeling that it's as massive as Dyack would like. I mean, and not to start a war here, but Mass Effect is HUGE. I get that. Why, because it's been platered everywhere. All the interviews/previews, game videos, and what other articles tell you and show you just how huge the game is.

The only thing you really see on Too Human is hear about how this game is not what everyone thinks.That's nice. I get it, this game is not Devil May Cry. This game is based on Norse methology with a twist. Got that. Tell me why it's supposed to be gigantic then. Why is it that they cannot fit the whole story on the first run. Are they fleshing out the whole story so much that they can't fit into one game?

I don't want to sound like I'm flaming the game, but for how passionate DD feels about this game, I don't think a lot of people feel the same way.

All the things they talk about sound good on paper, but then I see the characters in action and I worry. The combat looks simple and the animations are god aweful. I don't see how a game who's chief gameplay element is combat can get away with that, and I don't think they will...

I feel like it is Xbox's answer to God of War. Hopefully it will be good but all I've really heard is This row With Epic and the Unreal Engine and that is not a good sign.

This game could be good. I'll wait till it comes out though. I'll wait for reviews and a demo.

I've heard. This game was originally suppose to launch on the PS1, then Gamecube, and now finally it makes a perfect fit to the 360. However, that doesn't mean it'll be that good. Look at Kameo. That game was developed for the N64, then it got canned. It was gonna go to gamecube and it got canned again. Then, the original Xbox but then it made a quick leap to the 360. That game came out good but with little flaws like "TOO SHORT"! It took so many years to make a game thats 10 hours long! I'm not saying that Too Human would be the same as Kameo. I'm actually looking forward to this.

I can't really say. It looks like a great game, but to determine if it's good for a trilogy I gotta see the story line first.

Well DD had to say those things over, and over instead of promoting the game because 10000000000000+ morons kept spouting nonsense. You should read the Too Human Blog on IGN.

As for an explenation why it needs a triology. Hmm i think they mentioned it in a video once. Something about portraying the immense ammount of fiction that the Norse Myth has to offer. I might try to look for it.

It looks so...eh.

Maybe a hack n slash rental.

No....Just no.
