Now...about that release date?

No, you gotta phrase it in the form of a complaint.

 

[SPEA]

Cool update. Very interesting reading about the history of Too Human.

Heres the link for anyone who doesn't want to go fishing:

[PleoMax]

Hmm, they could use a larger team hein? I thought they were pretty big. Well that sucks to hear, probably a consequence of trying to work on more than 1 game at the sametime, with the Sega deal and all.

Doesn't sound like good news for the production of too human if the devs think they need a larger team.

Dammit, this game will NEVER COME OUT.....

 

[Wile E Bud]

Denis: Well, Scene 01 is finally done. It just got through the ESRB so we are all good to go: ESRB screen, Microsoft Logo, SK logo, Nietzsche quote, and then “Grendel meets Gungnir and the Sentient Sword”.

if scene 1 means the first too human and if its got a esrb rating already. i think the game might actually come out this year. well im hoping

I think it's just a trailer they are talking about...

 

[Dina]

Yupyup, looks awesome. Can't wait for E3 movies though. Motion > stills.

 

[EktorPR]

I think he's talking about the actual "Scene 01" of the game... the very beginning, after you load the disc in the tray.

No menus?

It goes straight to the game? Weird

 

[EktorPR]

Well, I don't know about the “Grendel meets Gungnir and the Sentient Sword” part, but what comes before it reads exactly as the way their last game, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, began.

Screens look hot, both technically and artistically, but I doubt that the game will have that sort of anti-aliasing.

Delayed till 08 sounds good to me. Take your time, Dyack!

From what I gather the game runs with 4xAA and all these shots are direct framebuffer grabs. So yeah, seems likely that it will have this level of AA!

Game could end up being something really special. I am not as worried about it since it seems like they have plenty of time with the game coming out in 08. A game like this needs to be balanced and polished to work well, that takes ALOT of time.

Take your time Denis.

Didn't Dyack confirm 4xAA? That would get us those results.

Yes, a while ago.

Think the same.

I dig the norse mythology, game premise and what they´re trying to offer and it really looks promising. I loved Eternal Darkness so i have faith they are going to deliver. I hope the new media takes away the doubts about the combat gameplay/camera.

Besides the trilogy depends on how well this first chapter may be received so if they need more time to polish i dont mind waiting untill 08 to taste it.

Full HD Versions now available and yes these are directly from the frame buffer with no edits.

Nice use of DoF there. Makes the monster look really big.

Edit: just noticed that the compression is really horrible. But then again... This is IGN, dude.

 

[Tieno]

Looks good, but horrible compression. 90kb for 720p screens?

 

[OverHeat]

Not bad...but the texturing look a little simple.

 

[urk]

Looks awesome.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

Looks neat. The last screen is weird though; the foot of the monsterbot seems detached from the ground. Is this just a matter of no AF making the blend between monsterbot and ground screwy?

 

[Tieno]

Are all the regular enemies robots?

 

[Uncle]

Are all the regular enemies robots?

Just a wild guess based on the backstory, but.... yes..?

 

[OverHeat]

I love the HUD by the way.

 

[Wile E Bud]

screen two is gonna look awesome in motion with the fire and stuff

 

[FFChris]

Are all the regular enemies robots?

You'll probably be fighting against the Gods at one time or another I'm guessing.

 

[Thoren]

Oh god, IGN really killed those screenshots with compression. Toohuman.net host some better ones, please!

 

[Tieno]

You'll probably be fighting against the Gods at one time or another I'm guessing.

I assumed that, but I don't really consider those guys regular enemies.

 

[Orodreth]

Some of them. Others look Gears level quality i think.

 

[FFChris]

I assumed that, but I don't really consider those guys regular enemies.

Yea. I'm not sure though, I haven't seen anything outside of robots myself either.

Edit: By the way, for the people who havn't read the article posted earlier. Those 3 new screenshots show the game from previous builds. Only the top picture is from the new builds.

 

[Ark-AMN]

WTF IGN? Do you consistenlty have to be so damn stingy on the compression for these pics? 90K for those size pics is simply unnacceptable quality.

Can't wait for unfiltered media.

 

[PleoMax]

I think the texturing looks great...

But we need videos, i want to see the animations and fluidity of the combat, etc

 

[Xamdou]

Well the Xbox E3 2007 Must See List shows a Too Human banner on top so I expect lot's of in-game videos during this year's E3!

 

[Ark-AMN]

Yeah, I mean, Denis saying "very soon" for more media kind of indicates that something is coming shortly. I guess with E307 they're gonna try to erase whatever image may still remain from E306. For me of course, that was never an issue.

I always believed!

 

[UncleGuito]

Looks good except for that action charging bar with the "Skullhammer." Ugly font.

 

[Karma Kramer]

Looks pretty good.

 

[CreepingDea7h]

I think the font looks fine, and actually fits pretty well with the HUD (which is very minimalistic and "clean" looking).

I keep forgetting about this game.

[FFChris]

Suffering a little from the plastic-metal syndrome. But looks great nonetheless.

 

[macksplack]

I can't put my finger on it but there something about the look of this game that i don't like. It feels cold in my heart.

That's the robots.

:lol

I guess it works, if that's what they are shooting for.

 

[pswii60]

Denis... if you're reading...?

I'm really looking forward to this game, but so far most of what we've seen is in very grey and brown environments. Are there going to be more lush environments in the game? Is the forest still in there?

 

[sprsk]

Guys, I know recently posting every ****ing bit of info for any game into one thread has become really popular, but you do realize this thread was meant for info that came out in April right.

Yep, the forest is still in - its cyberspace.
