I'll be impressed when i see a video, even though the screens are pretty sweet.

The book is All Too Human, but it doesn't really matter, it's obviously where the name comes from.

Too Human shits all over other 360 games. This is a game that doesn't even need to be commented on the graphics department. The art is astonishing. Nintendo are retards for letting SK go. It's the only game I'd buy 360 for (currently) and if it plays as good as it looks I'll definately buy 360 for it.

Blood Omen was fucking great too, although I didn't have time to finish it. And I repeat. Nintendo is retarded.

This really looks very nice. I like the subtle use of colors in all the scenes. The robot designs in the first picture is the only thing that's not quite up to par with everything else, IMO.

Wasn't there also something similar to that in Eternal Darkness? It's been awhile since I've played it but for some reason I kinda remember there being a monster that shared the same design elements.

Um...
When I saw these screens, I thought it looks alright for a PS2 game...
Then I read that it's on the 360. AND everyone is amazed.
WTF

game would be more fun with a revo controller =(
If this game sales then it will prove that nintendo has made a mistake. If not, SK will have really established themselves as a low profit developer. This is their third chance in recent memmory, they have to make it work

Mechanics:
* Like Eternal Darkness, the player will not need any control over the camera. The system is designed so that the player can see what he or she is doing at all times without the inconvenience and distraction of worrying about camera placement.
* Context-sensitive controls are used to give the player more abilities when the timing is proper.
* As you've seen in the trailer, the animation of Too Human is a key feature of the series. This makes the game much more fun to play, and better for casual gamers.
Gameplay:
* Because there is no manual camera control, both analog sticks are left open for combat use, which opens up many new possibilities for gameplay mechanics.
* Too Human features a mixture of gunplay and melee fighting techniques weaved together. Silicon Knights has even hired consultants from Hong Kong that have worked on box-office giants like the Matrix and Chronicles of Riddick to make sure the moves that Balder busts out are more stylistic and than those of the average videogame.
* Like the original Too Human for PlayStation, cybernetic upgrades give the players new levels of character customization. Players will even be able to transfer their customized character from the first game into the next installment.
* In addition to the single player experience that Silicon Knights has always delivered on, there will be an extensive Xbox Live component to the series as well. Denis Dyack told IGN, "A big part of this game is its Xbox Live functionality. I love MMORPGs, I love Diablo and games like that, and so Too Human will definitely take advantage of online in a way I'm really excited about." Perhaps players can reenact the type of battles seen in the single player game between Balder and his men against the machines? That would be pretty awesome, but at this point we can only speculate.
Story:
* Players take the role of Balder, the Norse God of light. When some malevolent machines driven by artificial intelligence arrive on your planet, it's up to you to lead your men into battle.
* At the start of the game Balder is apparently "too human" and thus can upgrade to become more powerful. His upgrades may include things like cybernetic legs to help him run faster or eye implants to give him infrared and x-ray vision. Players will likely be treated with the moral dilemma over the fusion of flesh and machine. Perhaps the quote at the beginning of the trailer sums this up all too well: "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become one himself. - Nietzsche" (Interestingly enough, Nietzsche wrote the book Human, All Too Human)
Release dates:
* An official release date has not been announced, though a July EGM article listed Fall 2006, and a new Microsoft fact sheet has it listed for Holiday 2006. Denis Dyack revealed that Too Human Part I is about %50 finished at this time.
* The releases of parts I, II and III will come 12 months apart from eachother.

So, I guess Dyack was over there after all.
Guess this clears up a few things. On the one hand, I am pleased it's turning out to be a more "styalistic" version of Eternal Darkness, but on the other hand, at least at the moment, I'm a tad dissapointed in all the deep storyline that had been planned for the original concept seems to have been lost.
Oh well, I can't wait to play it myself and that will probably happen at E3

I feel kind of dirty for liking Too Human after all the crap I've given to SK. Well done guys, you got me interested again.
Now I just hope that it doesn't turn into another generic action game, I love beat 'em ups but I want something with a deep storyline and I do dig the idea of cybernetic gods.

Same here. As the Nintendo fan I am, one of my most anticipated games for the Cube was this Too Human, but the concept I had is totally different to what it´s been shown and what´s been told it will be about. Since I´m not getting the Xbox360, I cannot say that I´m disappointed, but well... I just hope the whole trilogy isn´t a total waste of the great concept they once had. For their own good, since I´m not gonna enjoy it v_vArk-AMN said:

I like what I'm reading about Too Human so far (though by splitting it into 3 episodes, judgment as to each episode's $ value will be under greater scrutiny), and while not the most spectacular trailer and screens ever released, they look good and don't do any damage to the enthusiasm either....
Looks great: techno futuristic done right.
Nice art direction too, those screens clearly show a well-rounded sense of composition (balanced lights/darks even color tones, blah blah blah.) Reminds me of what a next-gen Deus Ex might look like.
For some reason it also makes me want a next-gen Vectorman :lol
