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.."

360 - Too Human - Live: Mirror's Edge Less Popular Than Its Own Demo

"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."

Molyneaux Doesn't Like Too Human

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - Molyneaux Doesn't Like Too Human

Always a vocal person, Peter Molyneaux recently talked about the games he is looking forward to this year, noting, in particular, Too Human, which he felt to be "slightly off", noting that he would have done things differently if he were in charge.

"It has some gems in there, but they're hard to find," he said. "I quite like the combat and felt it was accessible, but I just… If I got my hands on the game, I'd rip out a few of the things they did and just concentrate on the core."

"It just slightly forgot about what it was trying to be," Molyneaux continued. "In a way, it tried to be something it was not. It felt - and again, I thought it did some things really well - that there was something slightly off about it. I'm sure that Dennis Dyack is going to come and kill me now!"

Too Human update fixes connectivity, nothing else

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - Too Human update fixes connectivity, nothing else

Joystiq turned on Too Human this morning (no, really) and found an auto update. Hoping it might have shortened the Valkyrie death sequence, they immediately unequipped all weapons and armor and ran naked (figuratively) into battle, only to be faced with the same 15.5-second consequence. They also thought the menu screen loaded faster, but that is all apparently just in their heads.

In a forum post this morning, Silicon Knights president Denis Dyack revealed that the update "fixed some connectivity issues and was done prior to release. It does not contain any balance or gameplay changes." Better luck next time.

CliffyB Defends Too Human from Critics

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - CliffyB Defends Too Human from Critics

After so much hype and so many years in development, many were surprised by the lackluster critical reception for Silicon Knights' Too Human. Count among the surprised Epic Games' Cliff "Don't call me CliffyB anymore" Bleszinski, who defended the game from its harshest critics in a recent Giant Bomb reader review.

Bleszinski says he found the game more engrossing than either BioShock or Call of Duty 4, pouring 16 straight hours into it on his first sit down and readying for a second playthrough after a 42-hour quest. While admitting that the story "isn't God's gift to writing," Bleszinski still insists it compares favorably to a lot of other video games. His main beef, though, is with critics who derided the game's combat as too simple simply because they weren't willing to delve into what Bleszinski sees as some complex strategic depth. "It will require some attention to learn," he warns, "If this is too much to ask, do not fret. There is always the Wii." Ouch!

6 Things That Would Of Made Too Human A Great Game

360 - Too Human - 6 Things That Would Of Made Too Human A Great Game

Addict Gaming Writes "A Manual Camera System (Similar To The Force Unleashed's)

The one thing that really gets on my nerves in Too Human is the awful, random camera system that does deliver on a cinematic appearance, but adds pointless difficulty into the game just because you can't see your enemy. If they removed the awkward analogue stick sword control and just but a bog standard camera system into the game, we would of had a much more enjoyable game."

Dyack is All Too Human

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - Dyack is All Too Human

SPOnG recently caught up with Silicon Knights founder and director, Denis Dyack - game director of Too Human, arguably one of the biggest Xbox 360 games of 2008 and a title that many seem to think has been stuck somewhere in 'development hell' since the original PlayStation era of the late 1990s.

While, like many, SPOnG can't wait to get stuck into his game. Dyack was, if anything, way too sensitive over any perceived criticisms and - as expected - outspoken in his criticism of 'the preview process' in the games industry and the machinations of fan debates in open forums such as NeoGAF.

"The whole idea that this game has been in development for over ten years is just a complete myth," Dyack told SPOnG. "We have tried to say that for the last four years, but nobody seems to want to listen, so you would a service to everyone by saying that, once we hooked up with Microsoft and started collaborating is when the REAL development of Too Human +started."

"The people who don't like it generally just don't get it," Dyack tells OXM.

"And it's because we've created something so innovative and different," he explains. "It's ironic, it just shows that human nature of if you don't understand something, you immediately attack it. It's pretty interesting in that regard."
