well, THAT certainly left me moist and wanting.

cannot wait.

Mifune · Mar 28, 2008

Pretty cool viral campaign. I could go for more of these faux-Errol Morris docs.

It's a shame they show older footage of the game in the actual diary though.

Deepblue · Mar 28, 2008

Am I the only one that actually watched through the documentary piece only to be frustrated as hell when they didn't show the "goblin?"

That's for Part 2.

The "Goblin Man of Norway" is now viewable at the website linked in the IGN Diary. The urls were all broken this morning, but they're up now with more information about the film.

I watched the first part which was awesome - very well done. However, I still got broken links for the 2nd and 3rd parts. I'll try back later.

Definitely intentional. There may be a game tied into unlocking the second and third videos or they may just be released as we near launch.

You and me both.

Mifune · Mar 28, 2008

The reason we don't see the Goblin is that the whole "doc" is a recreation of what happened based on the interview subjects' stories. Ala Errol Morris.

Geoff9920 · Mar 28, 2008

I've got to admit, that Goblin Man of Norway vid was cool. I'm curious to see what it looks like.

opkal · Mar 28, 2008

Pretty neat documentary, though they straight-up copied the NFB's logo, hell even the language selection page is exactly the same as the NFB's.

Maybe that's the point though...

Yeah, I enjoyed it mainly because of it was clearly using the style of Errol Morris, right down to the Phillip Glass type music. The Thin Blue Line is my all-time favorite documentary.

clashfan · Mar 28, 2008

This documentary is real, right? They found something, right?

jet1911 · Mar 28, 2008

Obviously

not

FrankT · Mar 28, 2008

Awesome vid, really interesting to boot, some of the environments in this game just look so beautiful. Anyhow, the game has come such a long way in regards to game mechanics and animation, in about every respect really.

Give us a demo and a hard date so we can all rest at peace at night.

Blimblim · Mar 28, 2008

Btw we have the diary available in case you couldn't get it in HD from IGN:

nubbe · Mar 28, 2008

The "documentary" made me google for Goblin Man.

It would have been fun if they had made some articles or so to make it more valid.

Ark-AMN · Mar 28, 2008

As usual, it left me wanting more. Everything looks more and more polished every time we see more of it. I can't imagine that there will be that much of a wait left, especially as noted, with the fact that its been rated by the ESRB. I have to guess that a demo would be in either late April or early May.

FFChris · Mar 28, 2008

What... is this?

Are they ever going to show more of the game than that one area? We must have seen that 20 odd times now.

It was only part one.

Plus if you've seen any Too Human footage at all, you've seen the metal Goblins more than once.

CowboyAstronaut · Mar 28, 2008

Wow I'm a complete idiot. I thought they actually found something that supports SK's re-imagining of the Norse Mythology.

Just like that one about the crusty old dude that served with Master Chief.

Sydle · Mar 28, 2008

That was great. Moar plz.

Told you!

The TH documentary isn't real. You guys know that? Right?

clashfan · Mar 28, 2008

Just watched the documentary again. It sent chills down my spine. What else is hidden in those glaciers?

The streaming was pretty awful from your site which is a pity considering I favor Gamersyde high above ign.

clashfan · Mar 28, 2008

That documentary proves my hypothesis that alot of lost human history is locked up in the polar ice caps. What will they find next?

fin · Mar 28, 2008

I'm pumped for this game.

Do want!

It's fake man. Jesus I hope you're joking and not that fucking stupid.

Reallink · Mar 29, 2008

That is, without question, the best viral campaign I have ever seen. Incredibly unique and entertaining.

BenjaminBirdie · Mar 29, 2008

Finally saw this. Big kudos for the first game related footage ever released in pure 2.35:1.

;D

But yeah, can't wait to see more. Great design work on making all the title cards and book covers look authentic. I wonder if this is part of MS' marketing or SK's moxy.

Djungelfrukt · Mar 29, 2008

Wow, can't wait.

Seriously.

I can't wait.

godhandiscen · Mar 29, 2008

This viral marketing is pretty sick. It shows the degree of confidence MS has in the game. I want to see the goddamn robo-gobling now.

MS, being the publisher, probably is 100% responsible for the funding and setting up of marketing and advertising for Too Human. I'd imagine though that SK would have a say in the ideas behind the strategy though.

Fuck you Urk, my history professor told me that Sony changed all the history books to not let us know what really happened. The Chief did die for all of us. That right there is a relic of war.

Jibber Hack · Mar 30, 2008

This was quite the awesome diary. Really enjoyed the film at the end. They almost had me.

Hannar · Mar 30, 2008

Really one of the more excellent things I've seen in marketing recently. This could work very well. Trying to introduce the idea of a cyclical history and some of the things behind Too Human isn't exactly easy, so I'm hoping the final two chapters really come together nicely.

Watched the diary and that doc had me fooled in so far that I believed they were serious, not that I believed what they were saying. Pretty cool.

Parts 2 and 3 have not been released yet.

Draft · Mar 30, 2008

Haha, that's actually pretty good viral. Didn't Sony do something similar for SOTC? Monster in the ice discovered, IIRC.
