A "gamers" game, definitely, and it being Silicon Knights, I'm sure the cinematics and concepts and story will be a cut above the rest.

OMG, and THEN they said THIS:

OMFG! BETTER THAN HALO CONFIRMED! INSTANT BUY! SOLD! SOLD! SOOOOLLLDDD!

... seriously, when the XBox 360 drops to like, $100 or $150, I'm seriously tempted to buy it just for this game and its sequels.

Sup feature creep. When a game tries to be everything, it inevitably cannot do a single thing well. So I'm very skeptical at the moment because of all this talk about "features" and "visuals."

The hype surrounding this game since the PSX days has worn me out. Show me something tangible (and playable), then we'll talk about me possibly caring.

This is one of the few reasons I'm getting an X360 i watched the gameplay videos on IGN and i can't seem to find anything wrong with them, other that Baldur's animation, and the fact that Baldur is ugly as sin when everyone who knows who Balder is knows he is a beautiful man.

Last time I brought a console basd on potiental games was the Gamecube. At first I brought it for Perfect Dark. The rest is history.

I enjoy and still do enjoy my Gamecube, it has served me well. But be weary of buying anything based on potiental.

thats why i don't yet have a 360(the the whole $400 thing) and VF5 is gonna be out on it which is known to be a good game.

I finally watched all the Too Human footage. I hope that Microsoft has a complete new revision of the 360 w/ wireless and redesigned hardware by the time that game is out.

Keep hoping........

If Progress keeps going like it has on the game I'm sure the 720 will be out by then... I wonder how much money is already sunk into that game?
Yep, I'm now officially excited about this game.

A bit late, but...

It's interesting how different Dennis Dyack and Ken Levine's approaches to marketing are. Levine refuses to call Bioshock, a game many call an fps-rpg hybrid, anything but a shooter. He thinks that you have to say 'this game is a member of x genre, if you liked other games in x genre, you'll like this one!' if you want your game to sell. (source) Whereas Dyack is the exact opposite. He seems embarrassed to call his game an RPG. Yes, he says, Too Human has RPG elements - but it also has a bit of this genre and a bit of that genre.

...I guess that shouldn't be surprising. Their approaches to game design are very different, too. Dyack seems to want games to be more like movies, whereas Levine, who hates long, unskipable cut-scenes, wants the opposite.

Adrock · « **Reply #209 on:** May 30, 2007, 06:53:13 PM »

Hmm, I'm with Levine. I hate long cutscenes, even if they're well made. I buy games to play them.

And I think Dyack's approach is too broaden his audience. I see Too Human as mainly an action game and I'd say action games are probably easier sells. However, Dyack wants to draw in fans of other genres while not turning off haters of certain genres.

wandering · « **Reply #210 on:** May 31, 2007, 09:05:43 PM »

I realized I kind of painted a false picture with my last post. I made it seem like Dyack is for long cut-scenes and Levine is against them. In fact, Dyack is not necessarily for long cutscenes (Eternal Darkness didn't really have any, at least. Twin Snakes did - but then, that was remake.) And Levine is not just against long cutscenes - he's against cutscenes, period. He thinks story should be completely optional.

Also, I said that Dennis said something like 'Yes, Too Human has RPG elements - but it also has a bit of this genre and a bit of that genre.' I should have watched the videos again before posting. What he actually said was something like 'these games are action-adventures, like God of War, but they also have RPG elements, and elements from other genres.'

Anway. I agree with you adrock, that Dyack is saying his game has elements from all these different genres because he wants to cast the net as wide as possible. I also agree that long cut-scenes are no fun.

I personally hate when story begins to overtake the actual game play and I am stuck reading or watching my game.

To me I believe story needs to actually exist as much as possible in the real game where I can control it or skip it if I choose.

One game that I have really found to love is Earth Defense Force 2045 for the Xbox 360. What it does great is tells the story through radio contact during each level. Sure the story is paper thin, but it helps create the atmosphere, and you can ignore it or focus on it as a great War of the Worlds tale.

Be glad about that. Sandlot (the dev) made a DS game (Chou Soujuu Mecha MG) and in that they told the story through cutscenes. At first you feel like you're playing a Final Fantasy game or something, so much talk is in there. But then again, I got Custom Robo recently and it easily beats that in terms of time taken up by cutscenes...

I have trouble believing that people still care about this game. It has gone through multiple system and has been rumored almost as long as the next Duke Nukem. Sometimes delays help but when something takes this ridiculously long to actually be made problems usually abound.

Halo 2 turned out pretty good, I hear.

Halo 2 came out the same generation as Halo 1 and the third one will come out before Too Human. We've been hearing about Two human since the n64/psx it seems.

Did I say Halo 2? Crap. I meant Half Life 2.

When someone mentions Too Human, I giggle.

How long will it be before someone makes a music video of footage from this game pared with White Zombie's "More Human Than Human"?

"When someone mentions Too Human, I giggle."
