360 - Too Human - Dyack: Gamers Think Hyped Games Will Cure Cancer

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a press event in London last week, Silicon Knights boss Denis Dyack has revealed that some gamers often have ridiculous expectations of games.

"Some games get so hyped up, gamers actually believe that when they get this game it's going to cure cancer," stated Dyack. "So actually releasing a demo brings everyone back down to earth. But with Too Human it was just so skewed across the board, we had to say hey this is our new game, it works really well, it's really different, it's a genre bender, and we felt we had to release a demo or we were dead. So far it looks like to be the right choice in this case."

360 - Too Human - Too Human 2 to take less time

Denis Dyack reveals that "There won't be any more engine re-writes or anything like that".

Too Human has had a troubled development, but it will finally arrive in the UK on August 29 (August 19 in the US). This is all well and good, but what about the next two games in the planned trilogy? Speaking to VideoGamer.com at a recent press event in London Dyack confirmed that the plan is still to make a trilogy of games and that the next game won't take so long to complete.

"It's certainly going to be faster than the first game. The whole idea of doing the trilogy was it was meant for the 360. Plans are still on track, nothing has changed." stated Dyack. "We're not announcing anything on the second or third game here. We're here to talk about the first. But people should be fairly happy at the development process from here on in. There won't be any more engine re-writes or anything like that. So it should be a lot smoother waters."

Too Human Demo: All Classes Unlocked - "I was uncertain at first . . . but now, it's grown on me." (XboxOZ360)

360 - Too Human - Too Human Demo: All Classes Unlocked - "I was uncertain at first . . . but now, it's grown on me." (XboxOZ360)

What the heck... ALL CLASSES?

Okay so I'm in the camp that was not sure about the game when I started playing. But after replaying it and getting used to its controls and camera, I've spent several hours loving it... particularly since I learnt to unlock ALL THE CLASSES in the demo.

I was immensely disappointed when I initially loaded the demo that I couldn't play as all the classes. But armed with the knowledge that Silicon Knights has a penchant for hiding secrets a plenty in their titles, along with Denis Dyack dropping heavy hints over at Gamespot, I decided to hit Google to see what I was missing...

The cheeky buggers at Silicon Knights had inserted an Easter Egg to unlock ALL CLASSES in the demo!

We've placed Dimascus' instructional video at the bottom of the page... but if you'd prefer a layman's guide in the most straightforward of ten steps, look right below...

Peter Molyneux: 'I feel sorry for Denis Dyack'

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - Peter Molyneux: 'I feel sorry for Denis Dyack'

Legendary head of Lionhead Studios Peter Molyneux has said he feels sorry for Denis Dyack, the developer of upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Too Human.

He told VideoGamer.com: "I feel sorry for Denis Dyack because you know, I think a few things were said wrong, there was that really unfortunate showing at E3 a few years ago. Everyone got on the bandwagon of saying things about Too Human. Now I've played it and, you know, it's a good game. It doesn't deserve a lot of that harsh criticism. But as soon as something starts it's very hard to turn the tide and pull it back again. Unless you've got something in your back pocket to say "Ahaa, but what about this?" then it's really really tough."

"While developing games for Xbox 360, developers not only have to think about the core game, but also ways to keep the game going once consumers have completed it. Games such as Oblivion have had their replay value increased with DLC, and it seems Denis Dyack, CEO of Silicon Knights, is a fan of the whole downloadable content scene."

"Too Human's release on the Xbox 360 is edging closer and closer and with that, TGR sat down with Silicon Knights CEO Denis Dyack at this year's E3 to talk about the upcoming release of Too Human. One assumption that everyone makes in regards of Too Human is how long it took to develop, starting on the Playstation 1 and finishing up on the Xbox 360 with ten years of development time. We thought it was about time we got to the bottom of this and asked Denis himself."

Too Human Reclassified MA 15+ To M, PC Version Hinted At?

360 News from N4G | Too Human

360 - Too Human - Too Human Reclassified MA 15+ To M, PC Version Hinted At?

Kotaku writes: "The OFLC's classification database is packed full of surprises, both sad and delightful. The most recent of these was not one, but two ratings for Silicon Knights' Too Human. Why would a game get two (or more) ratings? Most of the time it's because a game is released on multiple platforms, but not simultaneously, so the later release has to be classified separately.

However, this is not the case for the Xbox 360-only Too Human.

1) Australia has the same version of Too Human as everyone else;
2) The OFLC classified two versions of the game, with the M-rated one sent to retail and;
3) Both entries are marked "Multi Platform". Does this mean a PC version is on the way?"
