Meh...you'd think after 8 years of development, my eyes would explode and I'd need a change of underwear. But alas...it looks mediocre.

Mass Effect shits all over this. And you know what? It didn't take a forever to make it.

Mass Effect? Mass Effect is a role-playing game. Too Human is a beat-up-up action game. Why would you even compare these two things like that?

...because too human is a role playing game.

From Wiki:

Too Human is a third-person action adventure role playing game mixing elements of games like Devil May Cry and Diablo. It features twitch gameplay in the form of fast paced melee and ranged combat while also maintaining deep RPG elements including skill tree progression and dungeon crawling.

That's what I'm saying. Is it me or does it just look kind of like ass? I mean, for a 360 game? Just saying. It kind of looks like it can't hold up to some of the competition.

It's early. Maybe it'll get better.

It kind of looks like an XBOX 1 game.

@JerkFace

If this is early then what's late? 2015? If this doesn't come out until 2015 all the 'futuristic' stuff in the game will look dated. I mean, who needs a cyber sword and a gruff bearded viking pal when we're flying on Hoverboards(TM), jacking into the Matrix using a 'retro' PS2 brain-case-mod and having our daily food pill rations teleported into our stomachs from central command?

I don't think the game looks all that great, but complaining about a game's framerate after watching it on a highly compressed internet video is mind-bogglingly stupid.

I'm with you maylon, this looks terrible.

meh, it's ninety nine nights with different skins. Not interested.

It was one of the original 'high-profile' games on the 360. One of them that was supposed to show off the next-gen graphics and really blow all other games in it's league out of the water.

Each time something is seen of the game, the developer's just seem to be blowing their own horn a little too much. Especially like I said, it was announced relatively close to the launch of the system.

It was sapposed to be out on the GameCube originaly..

"So could someone explain why this game gets so much coverage?"

1. Developer Silicon Knights is highly regarded in the video game community. They created the original Legacy of Kain game (Blood Omen:Legacy of Kain), Eternal Darkness, and Metal Gear Solid:The Twin Snakes, which is an excellent Gamecube remake of the original Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation.

2. The story for Too Human seemed pretty epic. Spanning a trilogy, the plot is heavily based upon Norse Mythology.

I was originally really excited for this title, but because of the constant delays I eventually took off my reservation of the title. That does not mean I won't buy it, but unless it gets great ratings, I'm going to pass.

Which would be a shame, because if this game fails it will be a commercail failure on the scale of E.T., Psychonauts and Shenmue. For some reason, I could easily see this game flopping, or at the very least not getting back its massive production costs.

Remember Malice for the original Xbox?

No?

Well, Too Human is the 360's Malice.

@ Judd

I believe the real reason was Denis Dyack's rather loud talk about how his $80 million game would be the standard going forward and that the focus of the industry would be on monstrously expensive - and therefore monstrously successful production values. He then talked about how he'd been raised from birth by Miyamoto and Kojima, and how it was a shame Nintendo didn't see things their way.

Or something like that.

Because God of War was the first game to have "light trails" in it.

And Marty wins snarkiest comment!

Though I totally agree Marty. Kid was stupid.

Some people may be commenting on the look but I think the general disdain for this game based on this trailer is that it doesn't look fun at all. DMC4's combat looks like a blast to play, NG2's combat looks fast & awesome....and then you have TH which looks slow, stiff and boring.

HD... heh. As if that will magically make average looking games great.

I thought Phantasy Star Online was Phantasy Star Online but without the fun.

Please;

PSO kicked ass. PSU was Phantasy Star Online without the fun

I thought it looked good as well. Maybe I'm not all about bashing it because I never got overhyped about it. I'll at least wait until I see a finished product to bash it.

Twin Snakes sucked.
