Now the company is working hard on Too Human for the Xbox... The game will only be released for the Xbox and not the PlayStation 2 or GameCube.

Hmmm.. if this rumour is to believed, then Denis Dyack sure has screwed Nintendo fans.

Awesome fantastico rad burgers! This is going to seem like a generic bitter Nintendo fan's response, but I wasn't too interested in this game when it was kinda slated for a GC release anyway. Really. =\

I still have no desire to play Eternal Darkness or Metal Gear Solid: TITS K*N*O*C*K*E*R*S
Take that Mr. developer!

Make that: PS fans first, then Nintendo fans second!

......maybe Xbox fans will be the third? oh noes, SK has delayed the game for the millionth time, now making it Panasonic 3DO exclusive! lol....

I'm with Infernal mostly, I was never interested in Too Human to begin with. I have no idea what the game even was going to be, and the fact the game has been delayed for so long I am not even sure the game still even exists. Is there any proof, unequivocal concrete proof that Too Human is really still even being developed, or is all the rumors about the game just rumors by people that refuse to let the game go where games go when they die?

Anyway, as I own a Xbox, I will not say that I won't buy the game, if the gave even really does exist and this is not a rumor, but if I do buy the game, it will have to be so damn perfect that nothing about the game is false. Perfect, not the idea of perfect, but the actual meaning of the word perfect. I am being a butt, but that is my right. I spend my hard earned money on Eternal Darkness and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes both and this is what we get. So the only way I will buy Too Human is if the game is perfect If it has a weak camera, or poor character development, or any of the other fallible things that a game can possess, then I will spend my money elsewhere.

There is no perfect game, sorry...

"There is no perfect game, sorry..."

What about Tetris? How could one possibly improve on it?

Anyway if Too Human turned out to be a PS2 exclusive I'd be annoyed but would agree with the decision from a business perspective. The PS2 is the market leader and virtually every game would in theory sell better on it than on Gamecube. The fact that it may be an Xbox exclusive however pisses me off big time since the Xbox is NOT the market leader and is NOT a system where games are guaranteed to sell better. The only reason SK would dump the Cube for the Xbox is because of moneyhats from MS. I don't approve of Microsoft outright buying "name" developers and I significantly lose respect for developers that MS has bought out be it Bungie, Oddworld, or Rare. This is the sort of monopolizing giant corporation tactic that people were afraid MS would ruin the industry with and Xbox fans claimed wasn't an issue.

Sure Sony and Nintendo have bought developers but they're usually small unknown developers that they take under their wing or third parties they have a strong relationship with. Sure every company pays for exclusives but MS does it in a much dirtier way. Sony and Nintendo will get a third party to make them an exclusive title. MS buys developers to snatch up exclusive titles already being made for another platform that already have hype. Halo, Munch's Oddessy, Shenmue II, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, and now possibly Too Human all got their start on another platform only to be nabbed by MS at the last minute. Nintendo has inadvertingly promoted THREE Xbox exclusives at past E3s because of this. Those are strongarm bully tactics and they're the sort of thing I don't want to see in the game industry.

I'm not buying Too Human on the Xbox. I was told that when I bought a Cube at launch that Silicon Knights and Rare would provide exclusive Cube support. They changed the "deal" on me so I'm not going to support either of them.

So if this is true, then well, remind me why we care about this game anyway? Xbox 3 should be it's expected launch.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #8 on:** June 30, 2004, 09:41:10 AM »

If it's true I'm going to be extremely pissed off, because the game sounded so incredible, but if you ask me it just sounds like some speculation based on the whole SK leaving thing. We still haven't even gotten a press release or anything out of either company.

Source? Source? A birdie? Corroboration? I'll pass.

SgtShiversBen · « **Reply #10 on:** June 30, 2004, 12:23:58 PM »

What's the point anymore. This is just getting too out of hand. I remember reading in the early days that EVERYONE was all excited about the GameCube and then now it's all "It sucks, no online, I have mono" BAH!! If Sk decides to make it for X-Box, then damnit, who cares. All we need now is for Retro to be all "Nintendo doesn't pay me enough, Microsoft, want a ****job???!" And dangit, I want my E3 2004 Zelda and oh how I wish for a new Wind Waker (BUT NO!!! The "majority" wants a "Realistic Zelda" BAH!!! HANG THE MAJORITY!!!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #11 on:** June 30, 2004, 12:40:26 PM »

But Retro is 1st party...

Even though I don't really care for SK's games, I still have a sinking feeling that anyone who believes this is falling right into Dyack's hands...

SgtShiversBen · « **Reply #12 on:** June 30, 2004, 03:21:21 PM »

I thought Retro was 2nd? Probably not, but anyways, so was Rare and look what happened there. Even though the only game I though worthwhile was Goldeneye and POSSIBLY Perfect Dark...but now...OY!!!

Because Eternal Darkness is one of the best games ever.

Flames_of_chaos · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2004, 04:14:50 PM »

well Microsoft calls Rare a first party since their wholey owned by microsoft, and retro is wholey owned by Nintendo so its safe to say their 1st party.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #15 on:** June 30, 2004, 04:15:55 PM »

Nintendo created Retro themselves, though, so they're more a part of Nintendo than if they had just bought them out completely, like Microsoft did with Rare.

How the hell is Tetris not a real videogame? The thing practically invented the puzzle genre, and it deserves just as much credit and respect, if not much more so, than any other game out there. Never downplay the role Tetris played in this industry.
