Now that we have an official date and so much more information, we're finding it progressively harder to contain our Too Human excitement. What about you?

So what do you guys think about them pulling local and 4 player co-op?
DangerMouse @ May 13th 2008 1:57PM
What? No 4 Player co-op? That's not what i was promised. I think I'll take legal action.
Lakewell @ May 13th 2008 2:44PM
I totally thought this was going to be at least 4 player co-op. I was looking forward to a spiritual successor to PSO for the Dreamcast. I'm pretty sad about this.
embassy @ May 13th 2008 3:05PM
wait, no local co-op? at all?
not even 2-player?
that's just...well that's just mean.
JerJer @ May 13th 2008 1:35PM
this.... this.
THIS. is awesome.
Fernando Rocker @ May 13th 2008 1:36PM
It's awesome...
But too many news today... I guess you guys changed the news for every 15 min instead of 30 mins.
tmacairjordan87 @ May 13th 2008 1:41PM
Tell me about it I get on about 30 minutes ago and get bombarded with news/trailers of a bunch of big games coming out. My senses are kinda overloaded right now
Fernando Rocker @ May 13th 2008 1:41PM
Yeah, I feel the same. I kinda liked the news every 30 mins.

Not if it was Nintendo news right? lol I keed, but I know what you mean. Its kinda slow at work today so this is a good thing. Banjo3, Gears2, and TH are shaping up very nicely. Now...wheres mah Ninja Gaiden 2 demo?
Dirty @ May 13th 2008 1:37PM
I think this video shows off a more accurate idea of what the combat will be like. I was a bit worried about the "look" of it before, with all the sliding around and slamming things wildly. I think this game is right up my alley, and it comes out the day before my birthday.....hopefully.
phobic99 @ May 13th 2008 1:40PM
I agree. I was having a hard time understanding WTF was going on with the combat. Thanks to this video, my feelings towards this game went from "meh" to "Wow, not bad".
Garrett @ May 13th 2008 1:40PM
This is the only 360 game I'm really excited for the rest of this year. Hopefully it'll be as good as it looks.
xFenixKnightx @ May 13th 2008 1:41PM
Looks phenomenal, just as I was hoping it would. The music in this game is going to make it feel truly epic, no pun intended.
arrrgh @ May 13th 2008 1:43PM
'I hope they keep that feeling in tact for the release
el serpiente @ May 13th 2008 3:33PM
It looks like the deformed child of Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry.
If it was born in Sparta, they'd throw it in the ravine.
=D
Whiskey Jak @ May 13th 2008 1:46PM
Looks really, really good. I've found that I'm much more satisfied with the combat footage since I take a look at it as a diablo-esque game (which is what the game is) and not as an action game à la DMC (which is what the game isn't).
I'm really looking forward to play that game comes August 19th.
Bigga Fanboy. @ May 13th 2008 2:12PM
Wow, after all this time passed and a new engine created from the ground-up due to Unreal not working,and this is what it looks like! I can play this right now it's called Scrapland for the original Xbox!
What is up with the HUD color arrangement?
Can you say Mass Effect for PC.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ May 13th 2008 2:11PM
Oh wow. That looks actually pretty damn good.
Looks like I'll have to buy this game.
Mike @ May 13th 2008 2:15PM
This looks about as much like a "Diablo" type game as Hellgate London was. And just as bad. Mmmm, Hellgate London with a game pad. Hold me back.
Lorem @ May 13th 2008 2:20PM
Looks ok.
Toasty @ May 13th 2008 2:26PM
This game is like an optical illusion: when I look at it as another 3rd person hack n' slash, I think "meh", but when I look at it as a successor to Diablo, I drool on myself. Weird.
arrrgh @ May 13th 2008 2:31PM
lol drool
joe @ May 13th 2008 2:31PM
the more and more i see this game in motion it comes across like they spent too much time developing the backstory, and the games backend(item mangement,EXP system,ranking system) and not enough time with animation, collison detection, and these canned animiations, it just feels like its going to be a super smash brothers rpg. a button masher lord of the rings meets Mass effect RPG system.
i mean this is probly a nitpick but when that guy hit his hammer on the ground and knocked those four guys into the air, it was the exact same animation for all the enemy characters even the get up animation was exactly the same, like a mirror copy of all of them getting up at the exact same time, with the same motion, i guess euphoria has spoiled me.
fyreblazer @ May 13th 2008 4:40PM
I agree Joe. The backend looks incredibly complex while the actual action looks like a poor mans Marvel Ultimate Alliance. It doesn't look THAT bad, but I think I'll wait on MUA2 for my kicks.
Sean @ May 13th 2008 2:59PM
Wallet so sad...
KiraXD @ May 13th 2008 3:20PM
looks like any other UE3 game.... oh wait... no yeah, looks like any other UE3 game.
I guess its their stab at Epic.
Also, Whats up with the Rainbow HUDs and Meters?
skullivan @ May 13th 2008 6:47PM
It's not running on UE3. They had to build their own engine from scratch after the problems they had with UE3, that's what the lawsuit is all about.
My anticipation for the game jumped up when they announced the release date and was swiftly shot down as soon as they announced that 4-player co-op was gone.
My most anticipated game of the year has become my most anticipated rental of the year. :p
KiraXD @ May 13th 2008 8:57PM
i know its not UE3 lol i was joking, basically the fact that it looks exactly like UE,like thats their way of getting back at epic :P
Benny @ May 13th 2008 3:32PM
Looks much better than I expected. Futuristic Devil May Cry with an uber-complex-looking stats system? Japan hold onto your seat!
Just kidding, the 360 will never sell in Japan! Does look pretty decent though.
Trev @ May 13th 2008 3:38PM
It looks really stiff and like nothing has any weight to it. Combine that with the Joystiq impression of "hold the right stick toward enemies, the game does the rest" and this looks throughly disappointing.
Alex @ May 13th 2008 5:03PM
I'm not taking the pee-pee, but what is this game about? I haven't bothered to look into it because when I first heard about it it just sounded like another game like 'The Darkness'.
