I have been hearing for a VERY LONG time over the internet about Too Human but i only know 2 things about it
1. Its been made by SK
2. It has been made for a VERY LONG time.

So i want to ask what exactly it is and what its about?

Thank you.

And: I LIKE PIE!

Ign's review

This is the psx preview of the game by ign, I think it should be sufficient to inform you of what its about. The story from what I hear will remain the same but the graphics are being supped up obviously, and gameplay mechanics modified for a even better experiance

I would just like to add that the game stays realy well inside what futur technology holds, Denis has kept as close to detail as in eternal darkness studying what nasa has in the works and other scientific comunities. This game will be monumental if it pulls off what it has claimed. Just wait and see this game will be the king.

Knowing SK they are probally still working on the sutle points of the games story.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this game "official on hold" since the team is currently working on MGS: Twin Snakes--which isn't a surprised.

ED really didn't sell to hot so Nintendo decided to go with a BRAND name game.

Too Human's always being worked on but it's never been SK's main project, as it would appear- it's origin even predates that of Blood Omen, so you can imagine just how long SK's been working on this. Like Ymeegod said, I hope SK at least gets some recognition after MGS:TS which will hopefully boost Too Human's sales.

Also, I reccomend IGNCube's preview of the game- it's still 2 years old but it's got info the PSX one doesn't.

Dude(s), Too Human's been sealed so long it might not come out as a software title at all -- YES I'M TALKING ABOUT IT COULD BE THE NEXT-GEN R.O.B. robot!

That G's just too human!
it's off da hook!

Personally, I would laugh my ass off if it got pushed back to Nintendo's next console. But I DO really want to see this game in my lifetime, so I would very much like to see it in the next few years.

longest development time ever.....
delayed through two consoles.......
damn.

this had better come out soon or we'll see a memorial for Denis Dyack himself during the end credits for this game.

If this doesn't become the best game ever then i will burn every Nintendo product i have, buy 10 PS2's and 10 Xboxs with 10 copies of every game out on each system, blow up all of Nintendo's HQs and never buy another Nintendo product again.

Please make the wait worthwhile Silicon Knights

the tech demo they showed at the space world years ago looked amazing (for too human)
if sk is able to push graphics like that then wow....
it seemed as though too human was almost completed on the playstation, but then nintendo bought out silicon knights
i think we dont have to worry about too human- after mgs comes out, i guess some questions will be answered

As Dennis said in his interview (and as was said in some other thread), SK does NOT like to can projects. After his hint to MGS in one of his interviews, I think we can take it that he will be dropping hints on all upcoming games, whether he realizes it or not. No wait, that's just what I want and therefore will interpret everything he says to mean what I want it to. Like that BERNY GETS THE FIRST COPY OF TOO HUMAN! AND MAYBE THE THIRD!

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2003, 12:14:47 PM »

The game hasn't been delayed, people- like I said, it's been a back burner project, and a release date has never been set through any of the 8 or 9 years of development, so saying it was "delayed" is wrong.

ThePerm · « **Reply #14 on:** June 22, 2003, 02:37:16 PM »

after seeing how pretty half life 2 is one wonders what too human would look like with an uber powerful next generation console...really this would be an ideal launch game...and perhaps sk realises that and are already preparign it for ythe next generation systems...perhaps after mgs we'll see ed2.... good things come to those who wait.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #15 on:** June 22, 2003, 04:44:07 PM »

I bet the Lord of the Ring Super Collector's Edition "Tower Castle" box set containing all 3 collector's editions and the Star Wars Super Complete Collector's Edition "Death Star" box set containing all 6 episodes and free light sabre toys will come out before Too Human.

I don't think moving Too Human to the GC 2 will improve it's graphics by much- besides the fact that the jump in graphics quality between this generation and next generation will be minimal compared to the jump between this generation and last generation, Denis has stated he believes that the in game real time graphics of Too Human (as it stood nearly a year ago, when he amde the comment) were as good as the FMV shots you can see in the IGNCube preview- pretty impressive, if you ask me.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2003, 02:18:06 AM »

I actually hope its released for the next system, that would be the best launch game ever.
Im actually slowly beggining to believe this game might go for the next system. 2005 is the launch of the next system, and SK might rather bring another ED for GCN.

This would sell millions as a GCN2 launch title, all they need to do is crank the graphics up a couple notches, hype it alot and Nintendo is back in the race for good. I just think that if this game is probaby the best game ever, it would be a pitty to release it on the GCN thats not doing so well.

I think you guys should pay more attention to the "

" in my post. ffs *rolls eyes*

Michael8983 · « **Reply #19 on:** June 23, 2003, 03:07:54 PM »

Yeah, I think Nintendo would be wise to make Too Human a launch title for its next console.
I think the ideal scenereo would be for Nintendo to have both a Mario title and Too Human as dueling flag-ship launch titles. Those two games, along with a plethora of great titles from Nintendo-friendly developers like Capcom, Namco, and Sega would make for the greatest launch line-up ever.
Unlike with the SNES, N64, and Gamecube, Nintendo should make sure it starts this next generation both on time and prepared (FOR ONCE!).

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #20 on:** June 24, 2003, 04:30:29 AM »

launchin the GC2 with a killer app as this one is great.
it would be an insanely long wait, but i think it's worth it.
but it's crap how SK will only really release two game on GC.

Oldskool · « **Reply #21 on:** June 24, 2003, 04:37:05 AM »

Its amazing that since their founding about 10 years ago, Silicon Knights released only two games! (Legacy of Kain: Blood Oman and ED.) But both of them were AAA-titles!

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #22 on:** June 24, 2003, 04:45:13 AM »

10 years and only two games?
really?

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #23 on:** June 24, 2003, 06:36:12 AM »

No, Silicon Knights also released two PC RTS games- Fantasy Empires and Cyber Empires. Then came Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, and Eternal Darkness. They had also started working on an original title with a character named Raziel a while back, but Crystal Dynamics didn't think the game would sell by itself so they took the game, gave Raziel the Soul Reaver, slapped the Legacy of Kain name on it, and released it, I believe- I think that's what also started the court case SK had with CD over the rights to Legacy of Kain, but SK dropped the case when Nintendo offered them to chance to become a 2nd party.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2003, 05:12:06 PM »

Actually Mouse Clicker, they released 5 games. No RTS games among them as far as I know. You forgot Dark Legions in your list of SK games.

All 3 of the games published by SSI were turn based strategy games, rather than real time.

Having played a fair bit of Fantasy Empires, I have to say that the game is good, but it's too hard, and I guess I am just not enough of a D&D fan to really appreciate it. (actually... I have never played D&D). I never played the game enough to know if it was AAA or not, but I think it would be more of an A rank game marketted towards a niche audience from what I saw. There were some rather serious gameplay issues, but I still think it was quite good for a developer just starting out.

Cyber Empires won "Multiplayer Game of the Year 1992" by Computer Game Review, and Dark Legions won an "Editor's Choice" award from PC Gamer in 1994 though. I think it's safe to say that Silicon Knights is definately someone to watch out for. Nintendo made a GREAT choice by picking them up as a 2nd party.
