New Too Human details News
Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell
Silicon Knights has revealed new details of Too Human, the first instalment in what's billed as a "three part trilogy" (as opposed to a four part trilogy?) of epic action games.
Too Human, you may recall, was long ago announced as being in development for the PlayStation and then the GameCube - but it was finally confirmed as an Xbox 360 exclusive back in May.
The game sees you playing as "Cybernetic God" Baldur, who finds himself tasked with fighting for the whole of humankind after an army of monstrous machines goes on the warpath.
We're promised a "non-stop barrage of action powered by the seamless integration of melee and ranged firearms combat," and an intuitive combat system that will let you perform complex manoeuvres with the press of a single button and execute long chains of combos.
The game is being developed using the Unreal 3 engine for "unparalleled visual fidelity", and we can expect cinematic quality graphics apparently. There's a proper orchestral score, too, which "sets the mood for heartbreak, anger and bloodlust." We find the same effect can be achieved with that new Sugababes record but if they want to get all fancy that's their business.
Too Human is due out next Christmas.

"if it's an fps, I'll settle for the obviously better (controlwise) PC version
Don't. Even. Start. |

Sounds like God of War.
Given how long they've taken to release the first part, I'm surprised they've been brave enough to announce it as the first part of a trilogy! Look forward to seeing part two on the Xbox 720. :-) Should be good, this one. Silicon Knights haven't let us down yet, dev times aside. |

The outline sounds a lot like Gow, and I don't like fps' with melee strings so I won't hold my breath for this one.

it's 360 exclusive, so you'll have to wait a while for that pc version you're looking for.
anyway, this isn't an FPS as far as i know, but there may be some 1st person elemnts at points. |

"an intuitive combat system that will let you perform complex manoeuvres with the press of a single button"
Developing games for the masses it seems. Same deal for the games Im working on. The thought of achieving 'complex manoeuvres' through player skill alone is non-existent any more? Pah I dunno. I just hate seeing comments like that. The harder the better for me ;) |

Yep, the fifth book was described as:
'The fifth book of a trilogy in four parts" |

This game would be one very good reason for me to eventually buy an Xbox 360 - I loved Eternal Darkness.

Doesn't "non-stop barrage of action powered..."usually mean that it's boring (just kill-'em-all)
"..by the seamless integration of melee and ranged firearms combat" and this part usually that you'll end up using just firearms or melee, because either the areas are too large for melee to be worthwhile, or too closed for firearms. Possible they'll dodge both mistakes, but still worth being wary. Also: "melee and ranged firearms combat"? So, melee firearm -combat exists? |

If they specify "ranged firearm combat" you'd think there was a reason for the "ranged" -word. In case of your example it would be "there are also single-decker busses?".
edit: although, anyone who has watched Equilibrium could say that there is, indeed, such a thing as "melee firearm combat".
