Too Human screens

I can't say I'm impressed.

Anyone remember when MGS-genre games defined the Playstation and how Silicon Knights planned Too Human as a MGS style game with tons of player customization and monologue with multiple paths and System Shock like character building mixed with MGS stealth and exploration? I do.

Now fast-forward to modern day. Silicon Knights has decided to make Too Human into the defining style of the Xbox360. ONE AGAINST MANY EPIC SCALE ACTION SLASH/SHOOT/HACK-EM UP ZOMG!!!! Sure the graphics and art style are really good, but I'm not impressed one bit by how Too Human simply jumps from one popular over-replicated genre to another with no backbone.

Where's the Bioware stuff? I totally missed it. Shame on me.

It's now posted, but there's very, very little media.

I'm just generalizing. I don't know enough about these games, but I trust Bioware.
 
Holy crap this looks like:

3DMark (graphics) + Halo (grunts, weapons) + Metroid Prime (Phenandra Drifts)

N.I.C.E.
 
Wonderful!

I'm still pissed the fuck off that we're not getting the original Too Human concept, but you know, if it wasn't working, no point in giving us a bad game.
 
It looks good, but seriously, you guys are letdown so many times if you see someting decent you go wowowowowowowowowo too easily, in the wide open shot it looks good, massive but the character models for the two guys standing is horrible, serioulsy too many devs are going tooo big instead of really just for right now, give us more eye candy rather than roam around in massive Halo 2 look alike environments.
 
I'll wait for more detailed impressions before I believe Microsoft's (obviously overblown) press release in terms of what we'll get as far as gameplay goes.

Bioware released KOTOR and Jade Empire for the Xbox. Assuming this is pretty far along, 3 games is a very good possibility.
 
Looks really bland to me. I can't even figure out what kind of a game this is supposed to be? I see a dude with a sword (who looks like he's from LoK/Blood Omen) surrounded by a squad of guys with guns (who looks like they're from Halo). It looks very Zion/Matrix inspired. Textures are really flat and bland and were probably created for the Gamecube. I don't see any of the Xbox 360's texture effects being used at all.
 
Looks really good to me. Looks very atmospheric, the underground cave one especially, love the lighting as well. Hopefully we'll get some videos later.
 
i cant wait to see a trailer for this, it looks wonderfull. it really does look like a painting.

of course the screens indoors look much better then the one outside snow shot.

Yeah I remember. I mean, these screenshots look impressive, but they dont look like what Too Human was orignally hyped to be about. I was expecting a System Shock/Deus Ex type game with a killer story (ok, maybe not killer story after ED, haha).


Regardless, this new incarnation of Too Human looks great, and if it does manage to retain some of that MGS-genre stuff you mention I'll be happy...
 
I'm unimpressed. Looks bland and like it rips off a bunch of other games. That snow shot looks just like Halo.

This sounded awesome when it was a PSX game, but now it just looks generic.

And I'm one of a handful of people who actually LIKED Eternal Darkness.
 
I thought there was going to be ultra sleek gameplay to go with the ultra sleek screens... Now it just sounds like a "massive" hack-n-slash(-n-shoot). That could be cool under the hands of someone like Capcom, but I haven't been impressed with SK's combat design skills.
 
Assumptions, assumptions.

It's a clean slate, people.

Use what you have, but most importantly, wait for more.

Well, the first part is even called Too Human: Generic.

Let's wait, perhaps we'll see the PSX version as one of the game of the trilogy.
 
this looks pretty hot, and i actually like the sound of the gameplay. I had no expectations for too human and never knew much about the games former premise. i want to see video.
 
You could have said these photos were from any of a number of next gen titles and I would have never known the difference. Talk about generic.

Well, you're in luck, because it looks like it's all we're going to get for a year or two.

Huh. I didn't think of that. Here's hoping.

Anyway, it looks like MS has the dark dystopian sci-fi game market cornered.
 
It's The Matrix + Warhammer 40k

I don't really know what next gen game I could mix this up with...trying to think...

How are some you able to even start to assume what the gameplay will be like from these screens????

They're assuming it from Microsoft's description in their PR, which is also a faulty assumption in itself.

Yeah I'm not sure why some people are jumping to conclusions about the actual gameplay. I remember reading a Dyack post over at IGN about it awhile back and he said that it was much more than your typical action game but who wants to hear that when you can imagine it being a cookie cutter shooter! Hate! HATE! HATE!

Gears of War. Halo. That new Bioware game. That Bioware Ghost game. Metroid Prime.

EGM bills it as Microsoft's answer to God of War.

This is all for starters.

Dyack responds:

Too Human is anything but a simple hack and slash or "God of War" clone. We dont do clones . I am not going to say much yet because it is not the time but let me set the record strait with this: As I have tried to state many times in recent interviews: "smaller and simple" is not a direction that Silicon Knights is interested in. It is not a trilogy because we decided to make it simple or small . Has it changed - oh yes, has it ever. Has it been dumbed down to a simple hack and slash - no not a chance.

Well that's reassuring, I guess.

I hope it's good, because SK has lots of potential as a developer.

I suppose it looks a bit like Gears of War. A bit.

The rest I don't see (though I don't know what that Bioware ghost game is).

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

I bill it as my response to your post. jk
 
Okay, I'll shut up. It's only 4 screens, after all.

But I looked at those 4 screens and expected lots of hate in this thread. I guess this positivity is refreshing.

Remember Starcraft: Ghost? Or wasn't that Bioware? Whatever happened to that?
 
Ooooh right. Yeah, that's Blizzard/Swinging Ape. That game looks shit.

The snow screen isn't very impressive, but the rest are. Depp shadows, good lighting, nice effects. Good draw distance, interesting environments. Big, high polygon looking models.
 
yeah, some of that looks really fuckin nice.

hmm... Silicon Knights having good style for once? maybe we can expect improved gameplay as well this time around.
