The Too Human Hype Thread

[Prolific]

So whats up with this game being delayed

 

[WhatsHisFace]

The game wasn't impressing anyone so they're gonna blow the deadline by another ten years.

That was pretty cool. It reminds me of the opening to Diablo 2. I was hoping they'd show some gameplay and maybe give us more to see of the game's camera in action, but I guess this isn't a 2007 and they'll have more chances to show it in the future before it releases.

By the looks of things, Too Human is like a second rate Mass Effect.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Then your eyes aren't working. Mass Effect is an RPG in the vein of KotOR with a combat system like Psi-Ops. Too Human is an Action RPG in the vein of Diablo with a combat system like Devil May Cry.

Mass Effect is a whole new universe set in the future based around galactic travel.

Too Human is set in the high-tech, distant past of Norse Mythology based around Ragnarok.

The games are nothing alike, their similarities being only their high-tech nature.

god, that was poor.


it looked buggier than the matrix: path of neo.


the explosions, frame rate, muzzle flash, animations, all looked pretty bad.


it might be the coolest game on earth, for all i know, and it very well could be, but it won't be winning any beauty contests.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Too Human is one of the best looking games in development.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i don't normally use this phrase... in fact, i hate it, but... lol.


no, it's really not. watch that trailer again. with the exception of the textures, which weren't too great (good, even very good, but not great) the game could have been last gen. the collision detection? the dust/smoke coming through the ground (not the cracks) the obvious lack of polygons, the jaggies, the frame rate?

seriously... that trailer was cool, no doubt, and i get that this is an exclusive, so you like, have to stick up for it, but those graphics were not great, at all.

and i know what you'll say next, that i'm a sony guy, and that's fine... but i own and love my 360, and have no intentions of buying a PS3 anytime soon, well, until some of their exclusives come out, anyway.

those graphics just weren't that great. i again, compare it to "path of neo". it just looked... choppy.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Please, show me a game that looks like Too Human, textures aside, on any of the last-gen consoles.

the collision detection? the dust/smoke coming through the ground (not the cracks) the obvious lack of polygons, the jaggies, the frame rate?

This game isn't coming out for another year. Do you know what "polish" is?

seriously... that trailer was cool, no doubt, and i get that this is an exclusive, so you like, have to stick up for it, but those graphics were not great, at all.

As the screenshots I have provided indicate, this is one of the best looking games on any platform. Feel free to post competing screenshots for argument sake.

Now it's my turn to use the phrase: lol.

okay, what i meant by "last gen" was the frame rate (choppy), collision detection (poor), the angles (ie: low polygons, from the look of it)... honestly, to me, it looks like the path of neo, mixed with escape from butcher bay, but with next gen textures, only not so much. does that make any sense? there are really much better looking games out there. the faces in killzone 2 look much, much better, as do the faces in mass effect and heavenly sword.

i didn't know this game wasn't coming out for another year... and like i said: i'll hold out final judgment until the game actually comes out. but that trailer posted just up above, the E3 one, doesn't look great... not in the least.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Let's see them.

 

[Mr. Credible]

The game wasn't impressing anyone so they're gonna blow the deadline by another ten years.

and really, this doesn't convince you that the game just isn't ready yet?

their last E3 show was pretty poor, to say the least, and, excuses were made.

this years? not much better. i really hope they delay it until it's right. i don't want this game to be bad.

 

[Mr. Credible]

Let's see them.

let's see what? the other games? how lazy are you?

you're a big boy, you can look up pictures from those other games... hell, they're only a few threads away.

i'm not hear to prove myself to you. i told you that i think those games look better. i didn't tell you that i'm going to try and convince you.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Well hey, you don't want to support your argument, that's fine. I wouldn't want to have to support an extremely weak and poorly-backed argument like yours, either.

 

[Mr. Credible]

yeah, okay big guy... lord forbid i just don't really care too much about proving someone i don't know or care about wrong on the internet. you've got me.

my proof is that preview posted just a little while up there... the newest one. anyone that watches that preview with objective eyes can plainly see that is it jumpy as crap. but hey, they've still got a year on top of the two they've already spent on it, right?

 

[WhatsHisFace]

A year is more than ample to fix a few framerate glitches and add a few particle effects.

 

[Mr. Credible]

you're right, we'll see what this game looks like in a year.

but right now, i'm unimpressed by the graphics. everything else looked great, considering they showed absolutely no gameplay (exactly the same thing you bashed the metal gear solid 4 trailer for, oddly)

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Only they have shown Too Human gameplay, and it's looking fantastic. IGN did a huge expose on the game and I really haven't seen any console game looking quite as good.

Mass Effect maybe has better character models, but the environments aren't as huge, and there aren't as many characters onscreen either.

 

[kainedamo]

I agree with Mr. Credible, it doesn't look that impressive.

There is a screenshot (all the pics on this thread are red x's to me, am I the only one?) where it looks like the main character is surrounded by clones of Paul McCartney.

Very, very poor.

 

[Phaser]

Artistically, there is no game like Too Human currently in development. Really, it has no equal. But technically the game always seems to fall short. Sure, the setting, the premise, the characters...everything has a visual richness that is unmatched. If we're talking Art Direction, I'd give the award to Too Human without hesitation.

But technically speaking the game seems to fall short yet again. The graphics themselves are pretty damn good (don't just base your opinion on the E3 trailer, watch the earlier IGN Too Human video features). The animation, sound effects and collision detection need a lot of work, though. Again, I am baffled as to Silicon Knights are consistently unable to show their game with animations as good as DMC's or Assassin's Creed's, mainly because these are the same guys who made Twin Snakes. I want this game to be good. It's a cinematic gem in every sense of the word. I just can't understand what the **** Silicon Knights are doing with it.

 

[Mr. Credible]

i'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks it doesn't look great.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Wow, that video was pretty bad. It looked like an Xbox game that could barely play on the system. I hope they make it better.

 

[Substance D]

I called suckage on this one from the get go.

 

[Jerry!]

Yeah I hope they fix this game, it sounded cool, just doesn't look good.
