Too Human 'just days away' from done

by Jason Dobson { Jun 13th 2008 at 1:30PM }

Silicon Knight's controversy-fuelled Too Human is nearly finished, as company president Denis Dyack confirms on his IGN blog that the game "is likely just days away" from being completed. Writes Dyack, the team is currently working to squelch a pair of "rare crash bugs" before sending the long-in-development sci-fi Norse action game off for final approval.

The exec also notes that "there will be plenty of time for press to critique Too Human as they will receive evaluation copies well in advance of the release date." This means that when scores come rolling in this August they should not be based on rushed play throughs to meet unrealistic deadlines, at least that's the theory. We admit that part of us will miss the roller coaster ride that has been Too Human's road to retail, though we can't help but wonder what Dyack will be up to next.

Will there be a demo of this game? I want to try it out before I buy it, and see if the 10 year development was worth it.

Don't worry you'll get plenty of reviews before it actually ships. I guess from reading all of them you can get an idea on how good it is going to be.

Hopefully we will have another Mass Effect on our hands.

Jakka @ Jun 13th 2008 2:40PM

Yes there will be a demo.

"Hopefully we will have another Mass Effect on our hands."

Yes, but with MUCH better combat and a stable framerate... hopefully...

I preordered this damn game 3 years ago. 3 YEARS! It better be god damn worth it

Corey @ Jun 13th 2008 5:21PM

This morning, I was just flipping through an EGM from 1999 that was previewing this game for the original PlayStation...

"days"

Huey2k2 @ Jun 13th 2008 1:42PM

Several hundred days ;)

xFenixKnightx @ Jun 13th 2008 1:48PM

I looks to be Epic. Seriously excited for this!

xFenixKnightx @ Jun 13th 2008 1:48PM

*It

darnit :(

tcc3 @ Jun 13th 2008 2:09PM

No, not Epic. Silicon Knights.

xFenixKnightx @ Jun 13th 2008 2:12PM

I see...

Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Jun 13th 2008 3:22PM

Yes, there will be several Epochs. Baldur *IS* a god, afterall...

BananaBoat @ Jun 13th 2008 1:53PM

Just a few days till it comes out and sells worse than the tie in game for Kung Fu Panda. =p

Cyro @ Jun 13th 2008 2:08PM

You suck.

BananaBoat @ Jun 13th 2008 2:08PM

It's sad, but it's true that it'll probably do worse than Kung Fu Panda.

Vcize @ Jun 13th 2008 2:22PM

Dude the Kung Fu Panda demo was actually not bad, lol.

Try it out.

BananaBoat @ Jun 13th 2008 3:07PM

Really? Now I'm interested O_O

I'll save that for after I finish NGII

I gotta say after hearing Denis Dyack [sic] talk about the game, I am excited for it.

Man, I think I am going to get more 360 games instead of a PS3. There is just too much goodness in the near future. I'm gonna do a shopping list:

Too Human
Civ Revo
GRID
GoW2

Am I missing anything good?

xFenixKnightx @ Jun 13th 2008 2:00PM

Left 4 Dead
Banjo3
NG2
HaloWars

Superstar90 @ Jun 13th 2008 2:00PM

If you like JRPGs you are missing a lot of good.

Korova Pyro aspect @ Jun 13th 2008 2:27PM

I agree with

NG2
Halo Wars.

I am not heated about Banjo and Left 4 Dead. I will maybe try one jrpg, just to have a toe in that pool. Which one would you recommend?

MN Guy @ Jun 13th 2008 3:33PM

Fable 2

Superstar90 @ Jun 13th 2008 7:00PM

I would say Tales of Vesperia, get the demo this month. It comes from a great series that has been consistently good since the SNES.

Superstar90 @ Jun 13th 2008 2:02PM

I am a sucker for anything that has RPG elements and no turn-based combat. Hopefully this plays nicely, don't really understand about the 1-stick combat.

Needs a demo!

J.Goodwin @ Jun 13th 2008 2:24PM

The stick based combat and the camera are going to make or break this game. I was pretty stoked (with suitably lowered expectations) for Monster Madness, and it was just a terrible piece of crap.

It did a lot to temper my expectations for Too Human because they share the same perspective and aspects of the interface are similar.

At some point you just have to wait and see what finally releases I guess.
