Thought he said the demo would hit just before the game. And we still dont have a date for that do we? :'(I think it was announced to be Q1 08 back in august 07.
Dyack promised a demo.:lol :lol
Where the fuck has art direction gone this gen? It's been wiped off the face of the earth. Barely any games have real art anymore, they just throw the shit in middleware and that's it. smhassassin's creed my love.
I've liked everything SK has put out in the past (yeah even Twin Snakes)Undeservedly bad reputation. Twin Snakes is still the best MGS game that I've played (I've played through 1 and 3).

good.you are not a masochist yet.
I played Norath, I'm close enough.
I put over 70hrs in to that game.
I'd love to get hyped for this game, but why bother? Silicon Knights has never made a good, solid game. Blood Omen was more than a decade ago, Eternal Darkness had a pretty nice presentation, but it was busted to the point of unfunness, and Twin Snakes was just a lol, though I am not sure who gets the full blame for that.the game won't be good on it's own, 4 coop however...

It remains to be seen if this pisses on Norse mythology and cultural heritage with a stronger or weaker beam than your standard Japanese "Valkyrie Odin of The Fenrir Crystal" crap, but so far it doesn't look promising.
I've never played Twin Snakes, isnt it just a remake? How can that suck unless the original material is shit?
Also I've enjoyed ED, the gameplay wasnt 100% tight, but the overall product was fun.
If you guys are going to base your like for the game on how close it follows Norse Mythology, you shouldn't even be playing games.
Read a book, Kosma.
This game looks like garbage. People that get excited for this are insane.
That said, it was the worst demonstration I ever had the honor of playing. Really. It was such a colossal failureWow. I thought that the footage shown was unimpressive, but I never would have guessed that it was that bad. Ouch.
First of all, I'm probably the only one here who has actually played the game at one point - and it was awful then.
The art direction is piss poor and Silicon Knights has no track record. This is like getting excited for a Uwe Boll movie, but at least those as entertaining on a pure trainwreck level.
You played it at that horrid E3 presentation?
If so, fair enough. But since then, every publication who played it had nothing but good things to say about the game.
I still think people hate on this game with no reason to.
As someone who has done videogame previews for a living before - trusting previews is hysterical. You realize, that as a games "journalist" you say almost nothing negative in a preview? I was told point blank by my editors to regurgitate the press release for the game I was covering, throw in some quotes and fancy words. Tada! Instant preview.
Previews have been positive, there are lots of features in the game worth being excited about...
so what do you have to hate about the game?
And its fine that to you, you need a good story to enjoy games, but how many of the best selling games out have good stories? Gears of War? Army of Two? Most people don't give a shit as long as the game has something that catches them.
FYI: I am neither a Dyack nor an Xbox fanboy, Willco. Pretty much the opposite to be honest.
I am only a Diablo fanboy.

You do know that diablo gameplay + loot tables isn't an automatic guaranteed win. Play any Diablo clone that's come out of the former Soviet bloc in the past several years.
In the land of the blind one-eyed man is the king.
Ugly called, it wants its ugly back.Yeah, the gameplay shots are incredibly ugly--both technically and artistically.
I think Mythos will be king Borys. Space Sieg might be cool too. But Mythos is looking so hawt hawt hawt. God I hope I get into Beta.
Too Human on 8.12, not 8/19
We have reduced it to 2-player co-op. The reason we did that is we looked at it, and the way the game is really frantic, and when you have a lot of guys zooming around. We weren't sure that would play out the best. There were also all kinds of balancing issues. That's where we are spending the majority of our time now. People say it looks finished, but we are balancing the RPG system. In order to do it right, and make sure co-op is the best it could be, right now we have it at 2 players. We though that was the absolute right thing to do for the game, and from a gamers point of view....
And I just went on a fucking super defense on this game yesterday.
Jesus christ.
Wilco redeemed.
You guys are fast. I guess if there's one thing that can be said about Too Human, it's that it's remarkably easy to hate, and effortless to troll. It's almost Geist like in this way, practically self-trolling.
Or like Haze :tomato

Watch Gears have 4p co-op.
I honestly can't believe the hate this game gets. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous and out of proportion.... so much so that I hope to god that TH turns out to be a huge commercial hit.
Fucking automatons.
Its pretty warranted at this point.
I don't doubt people are disappointed with it or that they just don't give a rats ass for SK in general but the vitrol being thrown their way is so disproportionate to what's being displayed that I really have to wonder about what the hell is actually swiming in people's heads sometimes.
The automaton comment was more or less directed towards the thread I read at GAF not to the fine bunch of gents we have here.
I'm not bothered by the lack of 4 player co-op, but over-promising and under-delivering is never a good position to be in. You'd think they'd take more care to avoid it.
It goes along with the bullshit habit of announcing glorious trilogies before they have so much as released a demo for the first game. I understand that internally and especially in terms of publisher relations, doing the most with a new IP is very important, but really, make a good game and then talk about sequels.
