Something that's very different about Too Human is that the 'real world' is ferociously technological but cyberspace is very organic and natural looking. "Our cyberspace looks completely natural, as opposed to all of the hard technology that's available in the real world of Too Human," says Dennis. "For those who know Norse mythology, it's steeped heavily with the Yggdrasil and nature. By going around in cyberspace and exploring the wooded areas, exploring the caves, you'll be able to find technologies, download them and cybernetically enhance yourself. It's a repository of information, but it looks completely natural, so it's very different than anything that you would see in the real world of Too Human."

Too Human is, at its heart, a fast-paced action game, with a combination of melee weapons and gunfire. But depth is added to the formula with RPG elements integrated to give players more customisation and freedom of play style. "Quite frankly, some people who've seen the game briefly have said it looks like Devil May Cry or God of War; and while it does have similarities to those fantastic games, where we differ greatly is in the role-playing element and the online co-op. In some sense, Too Human resembles games like Diablo or World of Warcraft. You can cybernetically enhance yourself and change the way that the game plays... you can actually grow and augment yourself and cater for that style."

Naturally, online will play a huge role in Too Human, with co-op online multiplayer that allows up to four friends to work their way through the game. Offers Dyack: "Working with Microsoft, we really strongly believe that the online experience is paramount to good gameplay, and also it really can't be separated from the game itself. Even though you can play the singleplayer, everything you can do singleplayer, you can do multiplayer."

He added: "The enemies will be placed differently as you play the game through multiplayer; there's going to be many different things that will change as you play, to make sure that the [replay value] stays high."


Don't lag.
