You got a taste of Too Human this morning with those leaked screenshots, but now we've got the mother lode of media straight from Microsoft's Gamer's Day. There are a few screenshots below and we've got the above video showing off co-op action in the game.

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.

xFenixKnightx: May 13th 2008; 1:45PM

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.

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.

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.

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'.
