The Too Human Hype Thread

[Jerry!]

Thats ok, just lets not post stupid "Good riddance" threads when you will be back in a matter of weeks.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

It's easier to just leave a post instead of answering e-mails from several people as to what you're doing.

 

[블라스]

Exclusive new trailer.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Well... that was certainly a let-down.

Wow...

Just... horrible.

 

[블라스]

God of War >>> This.
Sorry, but it's true

 

[WhatsHisFace]

From the look of things, Dynasty Warriors > This.

 

[블라스]

Hahahaha!

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Hahahaha!

Back in the summer, this game was looking extremely good. I wonder what happened...

If it doesn't shape up... what will I do? We're running out of good viking games.

 

[블라스]

There's a (maybe) good Viking game coming out, remember?
It's by the guys who did Spartan: Total Warrior (which was very underrated, it sucks that people didn't give it a chance), and it's about real Viking stuff, not sci-fi Vikings.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I don't mind sci-fi Vikings. Silicon Knights has a really cool concept behind Too Human. The gameplay videos just look completely awful. I was expecting the combat to AT LEAST look as good as Fable's, especially since that's one of the focuses of the game, but instead it looks like Heavenly Sword.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

hehe I've been saying this game is going to be a huge let down. All the hype over nothing, all that time spent..over nothing. good job SK!

 

[블라스]

If only we had listened to you from the beginning!
I am NEVER trusting a game developer again, what the hell do they know anyway?

am i rite?? lolz

This game looks a lot like Lair.

-Former Nintendo second party making it
-Published by a console maker
-Developer relentlessly complains when people say it's crap
-Had amazing screen shots but people barfed when they played it
-Seemingly cool concept that will probably just end up being overwrought (Dragons as war weapons, sci-fi version of Norse mythology)
-Probably too ambitious for its own good

Maybe SK will prove me wrong, but I kind of doubt it.

I'd like to see this footage of people barfing when they played it!

I doubt it will be as bad as Lair. I mean, that would have to be quite a disaster...

 

[Timstuff]

Previews for TH have been quite disastrous.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

which it will be....

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I think at it's worst, Too Human will get a 6.5/10.

But Lair was like, 4.0/10 I think.

my thoughts exactly. anyways mass effect looks better.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Mass Effect is only a few weeks away though.

This game can go f**k itself. Seriously, someone should send over one of Team Ninja's animation gurus to show SK how in-game melee combat is done. :

After so long a time of Dyack saying "just trust me" like a used-car salesman, I've had enough. I can't trust the guy anymore, and I don't know what the hell Microsoft is doing letting SK get away with this crap but not let BUNGIE do what they want.

Here's a preview. Doesn't sound overly positive nor overly negative.

I think we've got a high-concept, but mediocre game here.

 

[Fenrir]

The combat and animation seem to have been stuck in the previous generation. And even in the game's cinematics it looks choppy as hell. I've no hope for this title anymore.

I think the animation is a little behind the previous generation. Prince of Persia, Ninja Gaiden, Resident Evil 4, God of War... pretty much any decent title had better animation than this.

Baldur seems to run too slow in combat, like his motion, though tied to the response of the controls, isn't as fast as a warrior like him should be.

He should be zipping around like Ryu Hayabusa on Deus Ex's nanites.

It all just makes for boring combat. And I know this game has more to it than just combat, but even Oblivion, which is mostly an RPG, had seemingly better combat than this.
