Too Human absence explained News
Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell
Silicon Knights' Denis Dyack says the company didn't bring Too Human to E3 because it's too busy finishing the game.
The decision was made a while ago, apparently. "The reason for this decision was that we have another event planned in the future for Too Human that we thought would be more appropriate," Dyack told GameDaily BIZ.
Not that anyone could have blamed SK for staying away after all the negative publicity that its last E3 demo attracted.
But it really would have been there, said Dyack, were it not for the other event on the horizon - "as the game is coming along very well and we are excited for everyone to see it".
The other reason we didn't see it might simply have been one of release dates. Microsoft made a point of saying everything at its press conference (except for Resident Evil 5) would be released this year.
Speaking to Eurogamer afterwards about prospects for 2008, outgoing corporate vice president of interactive entertainment Peter Moore identified "Too Human, Alan Wake, Halo Wars, Fable 2, Banjo Kazooie" as five titles "that I think about for 2008".

Well, I'll be the first to disagree. Granted, the trailer wasn't the best cinematic they've released so far and it had its share of problems, but it certainly wasn't that bad. Too Human remains on the very top of my wishlist.

the game was moved to 2008 due to the large number of AAA games on 360
The game was moved to 2008 because Silicon Knights won't have finished it until then. Very little of this tactical placement bollocks goes on with large-scale long project original IPs. I didn't think last year's E3 publicity was especially bad for this to be honest. But now people are keen to rip on it, since the producer has so vocally been a whiny little bitch. |

I remember there were loads of pissing on Crackdown preview, being very disappointing and so on. Look how it turned out!
Yeah, not proven guilty or innocent, the jury still out until we get our hand on it and know for sure whether its stinker or not. |

Agree. The LIVE trailer was quite pants, especially the bit where he ran with the sword on the ground. Looked very gay.
And atleast they've stopped refering to them as gods. Makes the game more marketable. I still have hope for this. I mean, it's gonna be 4-player co-op on LIVE, in an action adventure. |

Exactly. I firmly believe that SK will deliver and redeem themselves. I mean. Guerilla are getting a lot of hype for KZ2, even though thier track record is quite average. SK, on the other hand have a brilliant track record. |

I mean. Guerilla are getting a lot of hype for KZ2, even though thier track record is quite average. SK, on the other hand have a brilliant track record. And Too Human is their dream project, the one they've poured all their energy into. One thing that surprises and somewhat amuses me is people complaining how Balder does this in the trailer, instead of doing that, without having any context in which to put his behavior (except for the context of original Norse myths, but I doubt most people dissing the game are well versed in that area). They complain about his seemingly weak guns without even knowing what kind of technology they use and whether there's a reason for them appearing so, well, wimpy (by the way, they're based on the existing Metal Storm technology which is closely connected to recoil reduction and elimination research). And probably my favorite complain is that the fragment of the story presented in the trailer is full of cliches (not talking about cliches in execution here) when in fact it's a modern retelling of the source Norse mythology material that has since been gimped by almost every modern fantasy writer. Of course it appears cliched, those themes and motives have been abused hundreds and hundreds of times already, but this is the original stuff - only told from the sci-fi perspective and slightly warped. |

@ insane cobra
Well, now that I know all that, I think it's the coolest, most fluid trailer with the best guns ever. Get serious, It still looks like crap. Not saying the game will, but I wouldn't have released that trailer. "but this is the original stuff - only told from the sci-fi perspective and slightly warped." ehm, that's a contradiction in my book.

Either way, I'm guessing many people here haven't read the massive IGN preview of the title, when they actually PLAYED it.
Sounds like a huge scope of a game. 4 player co-op action adventure? I too like insane corba think this will be a great game. Everyone carshed on crackdown (I'm included, to be honest), and look how that turned out? |

The trailer wasn't great, but as has been said, the proper unveiling of the game on IGN earlier this year looked absoloutly awesome! Trailer or no trailer I'd be willing to put money on this game kicking a whole lot of ass when it gets released next year.

What, like the court hearing with Epic? They're apparently suing them because Unreal Engine 3 is hard to use or something. |
