GDC 08: Too Human Trailers Released

Whats the deal with all these 3rd person games. Am I the only one that fines them a tad boring?

Ahh Im just too old school FPS.

man does that ever look boring :(

These trailers look like some great fun, although the game looks rather bad in those. They certainly also make this complaint VERY much understandable:

"During that same August 12, 2004 visit to Silicon Knights’ offices, Tim
Sweeney also represented on behalf of Epic that the Engine would allow
many tens of characters on the screen at the same time. That representation
was reinforced by Joe Graf on behalf of Epic on or about January 3, 2005,
when he stated that the Engine would allow 40-50 characters on the screen at
the same time. As of May, 2006, when Silicon Knights had to begin creation
of its own engine to avoid losing Too Human and possibly going out of
business altogether, Epic had not delivered software, code, tools, and/or
information sufficient to, and had otherwise failed to, fulfill those promises.
In fact, as of October 30, 2006, Epic had conceded that it was only placing 8-
10 “pawns” on the screen at one time in the version of its own Gears of War
that it was (as of that time) hoping Microsoft would certify."

word, can't say these videos aren't underwhelming after how ever long it's been since the last ones.


But cybernetic viking future game is awesome, so fuck.

The sword-fighting reminded me too much of Ninety-Nine Nights. I'm now looking forward to this less.

Looks pretty sweet. Oh, I mean THAT IS NO CRYSIS, YUCK!!! LOLL!

these videos are reminding me of Hellgate a bit too much... thats really scary.

Totally honest question...why should I be excited by this game? Those videos looked really MEH to me. Art style is bland, you just sort of run around with a 3/4 view and smash on reptile like bad guys. Maybe when it gets closer the story/trailers will hype me up more. As of right now though...looks pretty bland to me?

I think the only hope for this one is that the backend is really REALLY deep. Like MMO deep. In that case it'll have the collection draw, and the multi-player will give people the requisite place to show off their lootz, so it won't matter that the combat looks like a terrible, over simplified rip off of much better beat em ups. I'm not really into that kind of prestige driven game anymore, but a lot of people are.

I'm sure it'll have a great story though. Eternal Darkness did. They screwed up the combat in that one too though. I can't believe that after all this time (since the N64!) this is what they came up with.

I LOL'd at the big robot with the sledge hammer arm.

I hate the art style but the game itself looks pretty rad.

Wow, flat bland environments!

I might be clueless, but in a genre that is crowded with games, what makes this one stand out? It looks no better than any of the countless dynasty warrior games that have come before it, only with a sci fi setting. I hate flat generic environments...HATE them.

If my game looked this boring i would sue Epic too.Good luck with the sales on this one...ohh wait its on 360 :)

A console Diablo 2 ... It could be great.

they need to show some story, character building, RPG stuff because they keep showing combat and it's so MEH MEH MEH

chars slide all over the place, hits connect on the wrong frames, NPC impacts are totally off (horizontal swing sends enemy up?), no movement inertia, etc.

I'm a HUGE Eternal Darkness fan, so it's hard to belive it turned out a bad game - but come on - show the good stuff SK!
