Too Human demo soon - Dyack News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack has said a demo for 360 exclusive Too Human is in the works and should emerge at some point before the game's release in 2008.
He was talking in the forums of fan site TooHuman.net, where he reassured us the game had suffered no delays as a result of the conflict between SK and Epic Games.
"Too Human will be out in 2008. A firm date with tons of new info is coming soon. This will be followed up with a playable demo. The demo will speak for itself," said Dyack.
In July, Silicon Knights accused Epic Games of misleading it regarding the capabilities of the Unreal Engine 3, as well as not providing it with a final development kit in a timely fashion or offering enough support in favour of completing its own games Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3.
Epic denied the allegations and has since counter-sued, claiming Silicon Knights attempted to "take Epic's licensed technology, pay nothing for it, and use it any way it pleases".
Too Human is a trilogy of role-playing games exclusively for Xbox 360, with each instalment reckoned to be costing a record breaking USD 80 to 100 million each.
It's based around Norse mythology but set in a technologically advanced part of ancient history. You'll collect hordes of equipment, battle through waves of enemies, gain up to 50 levels and customise your character's skills and abilities to fit your play style.
It will have four-player co-operative play included, which will be a necessity when replaying the game on much more challenging settings to gather rare equipment for yourself or to trade online to others.
Microsoft was unavailable for comment at the time of writing.

Yeah right, demo in november 2008 then.
I still have hopes for this game. I must be a sucker for high dev cost, trilogy games (shenmue fan here). Still, if MS are willing to spend that much, then why not just return shenmue? That has atleast a 1million fans (the original sold some 1.2 or so mill). |

This is either going to be the biggest disaster of all time, or a Titanic-esque Lazarus act.

IGN has some recent videos, including rather unfinished gameplay footage. If you have enough time and patience, I suggest you head on over to the Silicon Knights' Blog and read all entries, from start to finish. It's an extremely interesting read for the most part; that alone pushed Too Human from the pile of games I couldn't care less about to the very top of my wish list. TooHuman.net is another good source of information. |

From what I've seen of this it looks incredibly generic/underwhelming.
It's never ever going to justify so much money unless it turns out to be a 90% + game - the sheer length of time it's been in development is very worrying (wasn't it a Gamecube game originally or did I dream that?!), and recent trouble with Epic can't be helping matters. |

Stalker came through to be a fantastic game after years in the wilderness. I have hope that this will do the same.
SK deserve a massive hit. |

Regarding Epic vs Silicon Knights more stuff from Digital Extremes (of Unreal Championship):
"Rather than turn to the Unreal III engine like so many other games on the Xbox 360 schedule, Dark Sector would be entirely custom-built. Game director Steve Sinclair tells us, “A lot of promises were made about the Unreal III engine, particularly on PS3. But as we see now, the time frames haven’t been met and now a lot of games using it are being held up.” " http://www.gameplayer.com.au/Home/PREVIE... |

Silicon Nights d ohave a history of taking ages to release games but them coming good in the end... Eternal Darkness, for example.
I really hope this comes good. I fear it may not... but I hope it does! Like Max Payne... oops, sorry, I meant Strangehold.... a demo would be very much appreciated. Hopefully, Like Stangehold, it will convince me to buy the game!!! :D |

I LOVED eternal darkness, so I'll continue to give them the benefit of the doubt for now (until the demo, at least!). The demo's have a bigger and bigger effect on sales if you've got a good game coming, look at how the bioshock one has raised the anticipation for their game...

The best example was, and still is, crackdown. That game got such a beating pior ro the demo. And look how that game turned out. |

I wish EG would call him Game God Denis Dyack, seeing as how he said he hates it. Asshat.

I think, if this game works well, i might get into it. I like MMO games, although the problem i have is, i pay my £10 a month and then "have to get my money's worth". Which involves playing it to death.

I hope they come through with this, they've been working on Too Human for ages and it sounds really intriguing.
Also, Epic won't 'win' the court case. It'll end up being settled out of court. |
