Too Human 'just days away' from done
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
Korova *Pyro aspect* @ Jun 13th 2008 1:55PM
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.
Alex @ Jun 13th 2008 2:19PM
Looks like he's fighting Robocop 2.

Professor Lario @ Jun 13th 2008 2:22PM
Really looking forward to this one...
Professor Lario @ Jun 13th 2008 2:22PM
You paid like, what, thirty bucks for it back then? : )
juju187 @ Jun 13th 2008 2:23PM
i want to play this. norse mythology, ragnorok, cyber humans, skill tree, yea must have...
Ranko @ Jun 13th 2008 2:40PM
Is that a floating sword?
Wilhelm @ Jun 13th 2008 6:20PM
Haha, that the first thing I noticed.

Yes, there will be several Epochs. Baldur *IS* a god, afterall...
ApolloIV @ Jun 13th 2008 3:38PM
Yes, there will be several accidental comments. The comment system *IS* broken, afterall...
Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Jun 13th 2008 4:04PM
Yah, between that and the hummingbird ad it's enough to make me wanna pull my hair out.

**fingers crossed**
brokenscope @ Jun 13th 2008 3:54PM
Norse myth, sci-fi, and Nietzsche all in one package. It had damn well better be good.
D-5 @ Jun 13th 2008 4:14PM
You know, 10 years development to me screams inept programmers, disorganized staff and whatnot (For a gaming company anyways)
That being said, I hope this turns out well. Myself, I'm going to wait for the reviews first.
DP @ Jun 13th 2008 4:25PM
Looks to be a solid game but the whole idea of all attacks being executed through the right analog... sounds iffy.
Marty @ Jun 13th 2008 4:40PM
I just hope they don't pull a Haze.
ScottG13 @ Jun 13th 2008 4:58PM
I'm pulling for Denis. I'd love to see a good loot pinata game on 360. Not enough of those, if any.
Mr Khan @ Jun 13th 2008 5:08PM
I'm with Scott, this game seems like a spiritual successor to PSO, and i would like to see it do well
Then maybe Silicon Knights will get around to Eternal Darkness 2
Dirty @ Jun 13th 2008 7:51PM
They should release it early. Hooray!
juju187 @ Jun 14th 2008 4:40AM
eternal darkness 2 with todays graphics sounds good to me im sure if this is a hit we may see that.
