Too Human Did Not Take Ten Years

green - 526 days 5 hours ago

This is my comment in a previous Too Human article

"Too Human was originally in development for the PlayStation as an action game on multiple disks. It was shown at E3 1999, but shortly before its completion Nintendo announced an exclusive partnership with Silicon Knights(they became a second party dev studio for Nintendo), and the game was moved to the Nintendo GameCube in 2000.

A teaser trailer was shown at Space World 2000 showing what appeared to be a re-building of the PlayStation game. The game never surfaced.Development on Too Human then ceased and they went on to other projects namely Eternal darkness and Metal gear Solid: twin Snakes for the Nintendo Gamecube.

In 2005 Silicon Knights and Microsoft announced a partnership to develop Silicon knights trilogy for the 360.So as you can see 5 years of inactivity on Too Human because they where working on other projects.

And also, if Sony announces in 2015 that 8 Days and The getaway are being developed as launch games for the PS5 in 2019.Will you say that those games have been in development for 10 to 11 years come 2019?Would you choose to ignore the put on hold/cancellation date of 2008 to 2015?

Let me give you another example.lamborghini wanted to make a small supercar in 1990 to sit under the Diablo.they commissioned an Italian coach builder (i think it's Pininfarina, but not 100%) to design a concept car, which he did.

Funds became low for them and development stopped and recommenced when Audi took control of Lamborghini in 1999.The project was then revisited and the Gallardo was launched in 2003,completely different from the original proposal apart from the fact that it was an entry model with 4wd.If you ask lamborghini when development started they will tell you it started in 1999.

You can not add the years of inactivity as development time."

only the worst fanboys claim that. perhaps they think too human runs on a ps1 engine aswell?

anyway, just hurry up and release this great game. the demo is awsome, and i want this now

Yes, the demo was really great, and thanks to a guy called "highwayman" who showed me how to unlock the defender its even better than SK intended it to be. Thanks again man!

Have you ever heard of Duke Nukem Forever? First release date was listed as 1997, still in development for possible release this holiday... its been an industry joke for, well, 10 years going on 11 now!

Read the article. In that ten years they put out 2 critically acclaimed games on the Gamecube (Eternal Darkness and Twin Snakes), while ALL DEVELOPMENT on Too Human was stopped completely. So how did it take them "10 years to get their act together?"

Since you are obviously very intelligent, made apparent by your amazing skill involving replacing the letter s with the @ symbol, I'm going to tread lightly here. It took them 10 years to get their act together because it was 10 years since the game was first pondered until it finally will be coming out. Don't be so offended by a comment that clearly has nothing to do with you personally. I'm sorry I so deeply insulted a company so much so that you felt you needed to lash out at someone.

This game is capable of potential but the movement to Microsoft assured this potential hit a push aside for games that do not innovate in any factor.If this game arrived on a Sony console or the Dreamcast,a strong franchise would have been created.Shame

what Sony fanboy is saying it took 10 years non-stop?...most are saying that the development process for this game was completely riddled with problems...which it clearly was...

its not supposed to take this long for a game to be released...and its especially not supposed to take this long and be awarded luke-warm previews and a general mediocre feel...with as arrogant as the guy behind this is...he got what he deserved...

and I did play the demo by the way...not crap...but definitely not something that deserved the hype 360 fanatics have been giving this game for the past 2 years...should average in the 7's is my guess...although it is a 360 exclusive, so maybe low 9's is more realistic...
