Too Human goes gold; 900k downloaded demo

Not UE3 powered.

Seriously, that's what the lawsuit was all about....

Er... well there were rumors going around a few years ago about Silicon Knights dropping UE3, but they were debunked. SO far as I know, TH is indeed powered by UE3.

The lawsuit was over an alleged breach of contract on SK's licensing of the engine. Wrongfully or not, they felt that Epic hadn't held up their end of the contract by providing a finished engine to them. Not sure whatever became of that.

Well, Wikipedia says I'm wrong, but I'll be damned if I can find an article about that on Joystiq.

You're damned. Hope you enjoy eternity!

So wrong, but no one is counting.

thanks!

May I ask what do you gain if this game fails?

I hope you are completely wrong and it turns out hit. That way you fanboy dream world is ruined.

I played the demo and loved. Already pre-ordered the game and I am sure I will enjoy it.

Meh, i hope it fails. I gives me happiness that DD failed after 10 years working on one game.

Man, I tried this game, and I just didn't like it. All you did was flick the analog stick around to attack with sword. Then, you held down triggers for ranged. It was very repetitive, not very fun. I will certainly pass.

Whoa, look at me, I'm The_Punisher! I still think that not liking stuff for no reason is cool! Dur!

Well that is an amazing coincidence then...

we dont not like the game for no reason tho. The reason is its a bad repetitve game thats not fun to play. I was actually going to buy this game, hearing so much about it, then I played the demo. No thank you. I think ill stick with braid for XBLA or something instead until saints row 2 comes out, which should hold me until GOW2, which should hold me until starcraft 2, which should last me until xbox 10 is released (I still play starcraft 1 :p )

Alot of people (Myself included) downloaded the demo to see if all the fuss D.D was making, was indeed warranted. After playing the demo, it's quite obvious that he never had a leg to stand on in the first place. I'm sure he'll rationalize it as being the fault of Epic, since he had to fabricate a new engine from scratch after UE3 wasn't good enough for him (it's good enough for Gears of War 2, but not Too Human? Ugg).

After playing the demo (went back and played more classes after they became available due to the stupid time lapse insanity....you get one chance usually with a demo to impress someone, and you keep what you think is an ace up your sleeve? Why?) I can't really describe the game as anything other than a mere shadow of the Diablo series, with much less involved combat, and just a general feeling of mediocrity. To be fair, it's absolutely true that the games engine was created in a very short amount of time, but even if you feel sympathy for D.D (After his insane rambling on the 1up yours podcast, I don't) it doesn't make the game a AAA title, or even just an A title.

I realize that everyone likes different things, and that there may be a ton of people out there that like Too Human in the end (I doubt it), but I'm going to go ahead and predict that it's sales won't go past half that number (900k) during the first week, if not month. If it hits a million sold total this year, I'll be pretty surprised.

You should change your name because you're clearly a fanboy. I actually have all three consoles. I hate the Wii, and i hate Micrsoft. I love the 360 however, i just hate the way MS handles it (charging for pictures?).

This game, however, sucks. You can't defend it, it's a joke. From the title screen, i knew it would be bad.

The_Punisher,
How am I clearly a fanboy? I like all of my systems; they are all really great at what they do. I just can't stand whiny morons that bitch about everything. I mean, seventh grade sucked enough without having to listen to it all over again from idiot posters on Joystiq.

i liked 7th grade

I might play my DS more than my 360 but seriously, the graphics were fantastic, and I don't know what you're going on about even jokingly saying it looks like an Xbox 1 title.

One more time.

@velocitySTRIKE

Seriously? I play my DS too and I thought the graphics on Too Human were really meh. In-game cinematics looked super robotic, pull up the menu screen where you outfit your characters and the textures looked really low res...

What it did do right were lighting effects (the bullets and swords as they arced in the air), and the environments, but other than that I wasn't too impressed.

Controls were really fun.
Graphics were fine.
Camera didn't bother me due to large open areas, unlike other games like DMC that have fixed cameras but also close-quarters corridor fighting.

I've always liked using right stick for combat in games.

Hey I played with my Nintendo Ds today...And I wish the system had something more than f*cking JRPGS.

No hate. Its ok it if its not your cup of tea.

We really shouldn't engage with homophobic racists. To think, what would your mother say after such potty language? For shame, Mama Squirrel will be extremely disappointed.

Look your odvoiusly trying to run me off joystiq (and the internet for that matter) Prince Bowser. It's not gonna work. Whenever I give an opinion...you pop up and attack me instead of giving your thoughts about the topic.

And it seems your the only one doing this. See I know the next step, your gonna try and rally people in here to run me off simply becuase I'm irrelevant to you and becuase I don't like the homosexual lifestyle.

Give up ok, becuase I already predicted just about every move your gonna make to get me banned or something...but it's not gonna work becuase I haven't done anything to anyone.

Instead, why don't you do something more important than attacking me....like...uhh...tell everyone what you think of the Too Human demo. Yeah, that'll work.

Yes sir.

Using the right stick to aim where you're going to hit is far more satisfying then pushing a button to me. And yea, most people just wont give it a chance due to it being different.

"I suspect the ratio of: people willing to play the game until they unlock the new skills and get used to the camera : number of people who'll play it for 10 minutes and then bitch on the internet, is not in their favour..."

Unfortunately, I think this is true. I played it for a couple of minutes I had to spare and found a lot of things that annoyed me, the first being as you mentioned, that the right stick didn't control the camera. I really didn't have a good time with it.

Then I decided to go back later and give it a real try and play all the way through the demo a couple of times, and I had a blast once I got used to how everything worked.

Sadly though, I'd guess that a huge percentage of gamers out there won't have to patience to try it after their quick 5 minutes of being annoyed.
