Too Human finally given a date News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft has said Too Human will be released in Europe on 29th August, and in the US ten days earlier on 19th August.
This is the Silicon Knights action role-playing game that has been in development for a long, long time, and kicked up considerable controversy along the way.
It's part of a trilogy rumoured be the most expensive in videogame history, with each instalment said to cost between USD 80 million and 100 million.
The stigma attached to it resulted in rather negative feedback after a sketchy demo was shown at E3 2006, probably resulting in its absence at the event a year later.
Silicon Knights also kicked up a considerable legal argument with Unreal Engine 3 creator Epic along the way.
Too Human takes place in a futuristic Norse land set in an ancient past, confusingly. You play Norse god Baldur and slash or shoot your way through a storyline alongside other deities wearing equally fancy armour.
Perhaps most exciting is its four-player co-operative play where you and your friends can meet up in a hub-like area and tackle the game content on much harder difficulty settings all in the name of elusive loot to either keep or trade online with others.

Sounds suspisciously like another 'action-rpg' title with fancy electro-armour, set in an alternative reality where groups can gather online at a central hub to tackle the games content on harder difficulties and get 'phat loot'.
/breathes in Or Hellgate:London as it is otherwise known. Look at how that turned out. |

Finally.
I have high hopes for this. And it's coming out during the typically barren month. |

Finally a hopefully decent Diablo-esque RPG. I've been waiting for this one.

@Arbiter: Bioshock was released in August too....
Hope the game is good, the concept is exciting but the gameplay footage is a bit underwhelming. |

Bad news, SK wants to make a whole darn trilogy of Too Human before they'll do any more Eternal Darkness. And if you consider how long the first game is taking, that could be a while. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that SK's plan is not to make three separate games (with new features, engine improvements and the like), but just one and divide the content up over three shortened (but full priced) releases. |

I reckon Gnort has the pricing/release idea spot-on here. I'd still imagine that this will be value for money for those who like Diablo-esque titles.
I really had high hopes for this when first announced, but confidence has been chipped away by cinematics and some average-looking gameplay footage. Having said that, I reckon this title could find a hard-core niche that will buy-in to the entire trilogy and suck up any DLC SK can bang out. Who knows, if the co-op is good and it finds its niche, this could end up having legs.... |

personally I love RPG's and have high hopes for this. Just hope it does not turn out to be a disappointment like Mass Effect. Not that it was a bad game, you just play RPG's for the storyline and Mass Effects was derivative. I want something new frm an RPG not just the standard scifi/fantasy stuff. Would love a pirate RPG incidentally, in the vein of Monkey Island though not the sid meier stuff
