If Blizzard had been developing Too Human and called it Diablo 3, it would be completely believable that this is the direction that series would take. The loot system is extremely similar, each class has a different skill tree and the combat has the same easy-to-use functionality, but it's more action packed and engaging; exactly where I imagine the next Diablo game will be going with its gameplay.

A FEW WEEKS AGO I had the opportunity to try out Too Human for Xbox 360. I've been following Too Human for a long time and had come to the conclusion that the concept had the potential to be a great game.

Or a mediocre game.

It would all come down to how it felt when you were actually sitting on the couch playing it. Now, I obviously can't speak for you, but so far I'm convinced

what it means if Blizzard made Too Human it wouldn't be getting a lot of hate for its animations and battle system.

It is surprisingly hard to get a Diablo like game right. There have been many that have tried, and none really have hit the mark. Diablo and Diablo 2 still have much more presence out there than any of their copy cats.

If Too Human was being made by Blizzard.... it would probably be looking to be a solid game. I imagine you are assuming people buy Blizzard games because of the name. This is true... but that's because Blizzard makes quality games.

A franchise name can always give a game alot of undeserved hype, just look at GTA IV.

I think the point the author is trying to make is that if you pasted the Blizzard logo over the Silicon Knights one and showed off the same videos, pictures and previews, the average gamer would be going ****ing bricks in anticipation. Instead because SK isn't as well known a developer (despite a solid track record) people rip on TH without any good reason. And I agree with him. Hell if Blizzard had spent "10 years" developing Diablo 3, people would see it as a positive.

are you kidding me? when it comes down to it people judge a game based on the gameplay and its mechanics. to alot of folks so far too human just looks meh. if it had the blizzard name on it, i would still think it is just meh... only thing is, blizzard pumps quality games almost all the time. the only game i didnt like were wc3 and wow. i love blizzard, but it doesnt mean i was gonna hype those games based on their name alone. i hate wc3 and wow, but i love diablo, sc series, wc1&2, and i am very interested in sc2. SK hasnt made a good game in a great while, and so far too human can either turn out great, or it can flop. im basing that off of the gameplay ive seen so far.

Anticipation is really growing for this title. Threads like this and, of course, Secret Police's threads, are building my hype!!

That the thing its like a Diablo game, but people are looking at it as a NG, DMC, or GoW type game when it isn't.

I'm sorry, but SK is not in the same league as Blizzard.

To all of you bemoaning the gameplay videos-look to ye olde videos of Diablo 2; at first sight, it looks dreadfully boring, repetitive, and shallow. Indeed, it looks that way incessantly until you are shown the RPG mechanics as well. At that point, you see the way in which the solid RPG aspects and the merely passable action aspects fuse to create something truly special. The gameplay for Too Human may not look like it is absolutely stellar, but, when you meld that aspect with the one that is not as readily visible in the videos-the RPG side-you finally see why people are so excited for this game.

It would be similar to Too Human, because of the skill system and battles, and definately most important, the loot system. However, there would be more then 2 players allowed in each game, 2 is just way to lot for an online game similar to diablo, where trading items, and pvping, is very important.
