Too Human

A new ruling in the long-running case against Epic Games by Silicon Knights.

Silicon Knights isn't done with the Too Human series just yet. Despite the fact it's been nearly three years since the first chapter of the planned trilogy dropped (and subsequently flopped) for Xbox 360, studio head Denis Dyack has stated he's keen on finishing what his team has started...

From NeoGAF: Listening to the CAG Podcast,the guys where in a Limo during E3 and Dyack was in it and he said they are working on the sequel...I listened to the whole podcast,to make sure they didn`t mention this was a joke or something and usually these guys wouldn`t say something like this if it wasn`t true.

IncGamers can reveal that Too Human, despite contrary belief, was not in development for 10 years. In an exclusive interview with IncGamers, president and founder of Silicon Knights, Denis Dyack, said the title was only in development for four years, despite the press reporting otherwise.

Local company Silicon Knights is getting nearly $4 million in federal money to create a new video game, leaving community leaders gushing the region is one step closing to being a gaming capital. The St. Catharines company will use the money to create a new high-end game for multiple platforms and will immediately create 65 additional jobs. This is going to benefit Silicon Knights in ways that are profound and long-lasting, said company president Denis Dyack. The announcement was made Friday by MP Rick Dykstra at the company's offices at 1 St. Paul Street in downtown St. Catharines.

According to the Chinese notes of ex-Silicon Knights artist, Zhang Shao-yong, his previous work includes Too Human, and The Box (Xbox and PS3), on which he helped shape visual effects for explosions, smoke, water, fire, weather and so on.

It seems that despite the mixed-reactions to the original, the trilogy will continue. The post also suggests that such sequels will tout a 4 player co-operative mode – a feature that was initially hinted-at but never delivered..

The demos of Mirror's Edge and Too Human had strong online showings in 2008, but the full versions failed to captivate Xbox Live users in the same way, according to Microsoft's annual rankings of top-played games. Larry Major Nelson Hryb posted the rankings to his blog on Sunday, showing that the Mirror's Edge demo was the 12th most popular game for Xbox Live members. Its full-game counterpart was nowhere to be seen on the top 20 list.
