How the fuck is this an argument? What do you know about game development? Do you think they've been making assets for this since 1997?

I know enough to know that for the amount of money and delays this game's developement has received it should look way better than this

 

[Defuser]

Wait till Dyack comes out and say you guys suck cause he didn't see any wrong with the images.

 

[Artanisix]

I like the first screen actually. The other two are questionable however.

 

[Cdammen]

The HUD is nice and yes, IGN compression at work but the environments still look really bland.

 

[DontStopTheTatakai]

 

[tedtropy]

Behold the awesome might of The Totally Not UT3 Engine (TM).

 

[Raging Spaniard]

The art is fine, the textures are fine and the designs are OK, the problem is that these arent well composed screenshots, plus theyve been showing the same level since the beginning now, the fact that it looks real empty doesnt help. It certainly looks distinct though, thats for sure.

On that awful E3 build, at the end of the demo they showed you a jungle'ish level for a bit that looked REALLY nice.

 

[Merovingian]

You know, you are right. But the thing is, its not, so its ok.

 

[Quagm1r3]

What the hell is with the HUD, and why do the environments seem so bland?

Blame EPIC?

 

[Sypher]

This is bannable.

 

[Salazar]

this game gets a pass because i liked eternal darkness. if it ends up sucking, i'll be the first to say so

You will have to be quick. Levels of speed not yet daydreamt of at MIT, I mean.

 

[arcader]

i do like the screens but im a bit worried about this game - I do have it preordered tho so i hope it turns out well.

 

[Diffense]

If only SK's finished games were half as EPIC as their development process...

 

[rollingstart]

well, you know, hoping for the best.

 

[Shawn128]

I never understood the hate for the hud. I actually like it. Quite different from most huds we see nowadays at least. As for the screenshots.....:lol

 

[Brimstone]

If you consider the context of the gameplay, I think the screenshots look fine. A diablo style game with 4 player co-op over LIVE has great potential.

Considering you'll have 4 player controlled characters with all their special effects fighting on the screen at the same time, the graphics are fine.



I think the HUD looks cool.

[Hitman]

The environments remind me so much of Eternal Darkness... anyone else getting that feeling?

 

[JDSN]

Yeah, they all look the same like in ED.

 

[Crow-kun]

What is this from it seems familiar.

 

[Borys]

First screen looks like Metroid Prime. Samus just froze some Space Pirates with the Ice Beam.

Graphics are really weak for such a high-profile, high-budget hyped game.

 

[ParticleReality]

I was the first to say this was a bad DMC clone. You just helped my case.

 

[Coen]

Too Human scenarios:

a. - The Metroid Prime scenario: Production is a clusterfuck. Game ends up being revolutionary. Critics hail it as the best game in years. Haters resent the game at first, afraid to admit that they were wrong, but end up loving it as much as the critics did.

b. - The Daikatana scenario: Production is a clusterfuck. Game ends up being merely ok. Critics burn it to the ground. They feel the need to 'punish' publisher and developer for making ridiculous claims. Haters feel vindicated and make the game a meme.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Looks generic. Will probably sell a ton to the userbase.

 

[Rhindle]

Looks like everyone posting in this thread is of the opinion that these screens suck and Too Human sucks.

Now we just need to decide on why this is the case.

 

[Tokubetsu]

I think everyone is sick of the controversy surrounding the game AND they'd just like SK move on to ED2.

I really don't see how it can end up as A. MP always showed a lot of potential but every new Too Human screen and video is like an offering to the giant Gaf too human pyre.

 

[Rezbit]

Bwuh? Metroid Prime 3 looks better than that.

 

[Bill_Duke]

It doesn't look bad, it doesn't look great. It's the gameplay I'm hoping to be great. On paper it really sounds like fun.

 

[Rexaur]

I was going to compare the level design to the Prime games, too. Though, more along the lines of why they look way better than this. It's gotta be the artists and designers, but this compared to Retro's games pales in comparison. Corruption on Wii totally kills these shots from a 360 game, however one could argue that they're just bad shots or the art isn't up to par.

That being said, hopefully the rest of the game looks phenomenal, and plays great too.

 

[Acosta]

I like the first screens, those ruins looks mysterious and impressive.

 

[Danielsan]

This game reminds me more and more of Nanobreaker.. that's not a good thing.
Dyack give us a demo on Xboxlive so we can finally conclude whether this game will be the shit or just plain shit..

 

[Timedog]

Hell no. Lego space from 1989 to 1993 was awesome.

M-Tron, Blacktron, Space Police, Ice Planet. Amazing sets.

Agreed.

 

[Prine]

this game is the new Lair.


Some games you just know will turn out to be shit. My pick of biggest loser from 360s catalogue of anticipated games

 

[slidewinder]

Looks pretty good to me. Hopefully they get the Diablo-crack aspect right.

 

[blackadde]

this game is the new Lair.

for some reason i have you on my ignore list (god knows why) but i wholeheartedly agree. the most recent e3 trailer looked like total horse-ass on gametrailers and all the EPIC bickering/screenshots haven't done much to help it's image.

 

[OatmealMu]

 

[RubberJohnny]

Hmm, Microsoft probably should have placed this money elsewhere.

Definitely.

 

[karasu]

I don't believe the HUD is ugly, but I do wonder why its angled like that. Is it for the in-game dude to glance at or the player? Would it not be cool if he just turned his head and said: "Nice still 100%"

:lol

 

[szaromir]

Definitely.

Maybe it's sleeper hit like Crackdown? We were very sceptic about that game, too (except MrBob). Not that it matters really, early next year I'll still be playing games from November.

 

[Zenith]

That robot looks SO TERRIBLE.

This game has looked horrid since the trailer from E3.

you mean since they ditched UE3?

What is this from it seems familiar.

Some Mars movie I think. the one with CSI guy and Trinity.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I maintain this is an art style from 90s CGI intros. I guess it's got online co-op...

 

[Dave1988]

Dyack May Cry?

 

[Hammer24]

Aaah, so thats what placeholder textures look like...

 

[Busty]

I'm counting down the days until MS dump this title (and SK) in a fire sale to a third party publisher who then gets some Chinese team to port this onto every system.

With the whole SK and EPIC lawsuit debacle and the fact Unreal3 looks stunning and this looks like a really impressive PS2 game (IMHO) this game is going to be a disaster. MS should just cut their loses.

 

[NeonBlade]

Looks like Mass Effect, but blander and more barren. Then again, so does Mass Effect.

 

[Phoenix Down]

this game looks very similar to mass effect

Because graphics alone make a good game?

Spoiler

Lair?

Besides Busty, I hope this game ends up really really good, because the concept was just so damn great.

Spoiler

And because you haven't got an Xbox 360 to play it on.

Killer robot build by man from a little Val Kilmer flick called "Red Planet".. Carrie-ann moss (Matrix Fame) had a bit of role in it too.

 

[quetz67]

Rare, Factor 5 and Silikon Knights...looks like Nintendo knew what they did!
