Dyack: Xbox 360 is Very Powerful

"TGR was lucky enough to have an interview with CEO of Silicon Knights Denis Dyack to talk about upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Too Human. Since this is Silicon Knights' first game for Xbox 360, we thought it would be good to ask Dyack how the experience has been and his overall thoughts on the console"

As is the PS3. Each console has strengths and weaknesses. None are perfect.

1.1 - yes
fanboy dev I hate them. This is almost as bad as Kojima. Too human is garbage (my demo impressions) and it should be delayed. "Powerful" is all based on what that person's perception is.

1.2 - If by Powerful he meant to sustaint a garbage game called Too human ...
Then yea its powerful.....seriously that demo was $h1t, this guy should never be allowed to make games... omg that demo was terrible should have been made for the Wii. ahh that felt good infact i would purchase Haze(if i owned a ps3) over this garbage.

Seeing as how Too Human will probably flop, anything that comes out of Dyacks mouth is really meaningless.

Bubbles for you cain141. You're one of few unbiased people on this site. It's true. Both consoles have their advantages and disadvantages. I made my console choice (can only afford 1) on game selection, which is in the favor of the 360 for me. Now, I'm not saying that PS3 doesn't have a lot of good games, but the 360 has more of my types of games. I have no bias based on the consoles themselves.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two graphically. As long as the gameplay in a game is good, I'm more than happy.

I am sure it is powerful, just in comparison to what?

@1.4

I had to do the same thing. If I could afford all three I would, but as I'm still in college, I don't have a huge budget.

I plan on picking up a PS3 this year, but until then I've still only got a 360...

1.7 - Just a fun fact...
This weekend Snoop Dog came was in RI for a concert in MA and I got the pleasure to meet him as I was one of the promoters for the concert. On the way to the hotel I got into the conversation about gaming and it turns out he's a HUGE 360 fanboy! LOL He even actually called the hotel, (Crown Plaza) and made sure they had a LCD and a 360 turned on and waiting for him for when he got to his room.

I also got his gamertag but, I won't be sharing it. LOL

But anyways, back to the topic. I think both the 360 and the PS3 have proven they are both strong systems.

Yeah, I'd love to pick up a PS3 myself, but at the moment, college makes me poor. I'd really like to play some of the exclusives, and I have no friends that have a PS3.

@1.7
That's freaking awesome, haha. I envy you. I think I heard once that he's a big fan of 360, but I don't recall where.

@joe382 bad question because your balls surely can not render one single polygon. This guy only licks powerful balls from what I read above. Good for him bad for you. Man there are so many fanboy developers though. I guess it helps some times though making console games is like pulling teeth for fun!

The Wii is just a GameCube x2. But the Wii is more focused on its controller, cheap price, innovation with games and such. PS3 and 360 are both great powerful systems, nuph sed. XD

Hideo Kojima has made games for all platforms like the Saga Saturn, the Game Boy Advanced, and the XBOX.

1.20 - If I were putting out a game on only one platform ...
I'd talk up the console too.

1) It makes the people who own the console think it is optimized for just their console.
2) It indirectly talks up their game by talking up the console
3) The only people you piss off can't buy your game anyways.

Why not talk up the console? Worked great for MGS4.

Yaaawwwnnnnnnn.
zzzzzzzzzz

Once again a developer feels obliged to sing the praises of the console they have just churned a game out for.
They all do it and it's always dull as dishwater sucking-up drivel.

Do they think we gamers were born yesterday and don't recognise a 'suck up to the paymaster' when we see it.
Please gimme a break

From what I've seen, a lot of the power of a console is how well a game is developed for it. You can make a game for PS3 that looks like a Wii game. A lot of it comes down to the developers. Yes, the PS3 does actually have more physical power, but it's also been said that it's hard to learn to develop on it, which I know has hindered a lot of games early on. The 360, on the other hand, is pretty standard to develop for, taking some strain off development. It all comes down to one question. How dedicated are the developers? In the end, the PS3 can definitely put out a little more than the 360, but that comes at the tradeoff of a high learning curve.

Personally, I couldn't care less which console is more powerful as long as the games stay fun. The difference in graphics is neglectable if you ask me.

But what the h3ll is going on with our edumacation system?
"Sell" is a verb, not a noun (well, it could be used as a noun, but not in this context).
You want "sales".

That's a stupid comment.

That's like me coming last in a race and saying wow, that car is fast.
The reason Too Human and Haze suck is not because of the hardware. It's the devs.

Let's all agree on one thing...you don't judge consoles by their WORST performing game. That's just stupid.
You judge them by their BEST games. In that case, they all rock.

5.3 - Too human is trash
almost as bad as Haze. If you give the most powerful piece of hardware to a crap dev guess what you will get. This game has looked like garbage since we first looked at it. Games like this are bad because it opens up the flood gates for other garbage games.

Too Human is the bottom of the list in terms of showing off the 360's technical performance. Gears of War 2 and Bioshock prove that the system is powerful; it just takes the right developer.

After finishing Haze and Halo. All I got to say is HAZE=HALO. Both suck. Too Human on the other looks very interesting. Will wait for the complete version to come on the PC and then... PIRATE IT :P

It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that they had to not only switch engines mid-development, but had to BUILD THEIR OWN ENGINE in the middle of developing a game.

Considering what they've gone through, the game looks great. The more important thing is that it's fun.

The Xbox 360 is a powerful system.

However Too Human is not a powerful game.

Seriously though the Demo sucked.
