'Too Human' Looks to Be the Next Xbox 360 Hit – And it's Not Even Out Yet

Microsoft Game Studios and Canadian developer Silicon Knights – best known for their Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver games – are in the process of releasing a new game, "Too Human," and this one also promises to be a hit.

With more than 900,000 downloads for the action-RPG's Xbox 360 Live demo, the game has had more downloads for its first level than any other action game demo to date, with more plays as well.

1 - Why are they hyping this game...
When the demo sucked...I get it that the final game might be good...but so far this is not a GOD of war killer or anything on the level of Gears of war..

I don't know much about this game but I would just like to say. Bring Soul Reaver to the next gen please. Is it to much to ask?

Of course it has been downloaded and played the most because there are more xbox owners everyday. It's also the summer and with no xbox exclusives for a couple months already.

1.4 - Why is it that only PS3 fanboys say Too Human isn't good
When all 360 users that downloaded this demo actually liked the game???

And why are there so many comments from PS3 fans within no time at this article?

Be sure. Too Human isn't a game like the PS3 got. Games like Lair got hyped up as AAA and became the joke of 2007. Games like Haze got hyped up as the Halo 3 killer and became the joke of 2008.

This game will at least get an solid 8

@ Topshelfcheese (below)

Dude, there are just a lot of Sony fanboys jumping on Too Human news every time. I am not saying on personal preference you couldn't like the game.

Have you tried to play it another time? With most people that played I heard they got hooked after they played the game for the 3rd or 4th time and understood the gameplay better.

@THE Mart

Why do you care what other people think. Not everyone in the world is going to like every game be it from 360 or PS3 or Wii. I played the demo and its nothing special. The camera is definitely an issue, I'll probably end up buying it when it drops in price.

@Mart again

I understand the gameplay just fine. I had some issues with the camera, and the cutscenes annoyed me a little. Its a flashback, but your wearing whatever you equiped 5 min ago. Its not a bad game, just not a day one buy for me.

This will be alot like Halo in that the game will be mediocre, but will get huge reviews by pro XBOX sites.

Own both 360/PS3 & I can honestly say this game is str8 garbage, gameplay sucks, graphics are subpar, plus it's linear & generic.....rather play river city ransom or street fighter 2010 instead. Hurry up gears 2 & GOW3

Silicon nights didn't make any Soul Reaver game, they only made Legacy of Kain.

It's funny though that those that have the good sense to stick to playing the demo a few times, are the ones that realize there is more than first appears with this one.

As first impressions go Too Human is a stinker to some but give it a chance and you will likely be very much looking forward to it's release.

Bags of depth and combo are compelling

"developer Silicon Knights – best known for their Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver games..."

Shows what these top notch "journalists" know. Crystal Dynamics made every game bearing the Legacy of Kain title except for the first one, Blood Omen in 1996. The franchise was created by Silicon Knights, indeed, but they didn't have anything to do with any games beyond the first.

You're talking out of your anus pal.

People have been *RAVING* about how terrific the Demo is. Preview after preview (like this one, and the one last week) have been saying how awesome Too Human is.

You **WISH** it wasnt the case, but this article is 100% dead-on: Too Human is going to be a massive hit.

It is a genre-busting RPG/Action/Adventure game -- and it plays great, looks great and has a serious amount of re-playability, depth and innovation...

It is going to be the game that future RPG/Adventure/Action games are measured-by.

Before you run off the Sony-Defence-Force talking points, maybe you should take your head out of your anus and actually **PLAY** the Demo.

It is 100% spectacular.

1.22 - geez
stop it already with all these claiming like "ALL 360 owners who downloaded the demo loves it" or "most people downloaded the demo said it sucks" or "ps3 owners is bashing the game when all 360 owners love it" etc.! there's no proof for all that and there is no definitive proof either for the number of downloads will project the number of sales!!

people downloaded the demo, and turned out 900,000 or more people did! it's a demo, which is free by the way, of a game which had been in development for 10 years and finally finished and being hyped sky high and it's an exclusive! need more reasons for that? then, some liked it and some hate it and they posted it on the net but those are just opinions - like reviews! so take it with grain of salt!

will Too Human be a hit? maybe or maybe not! though I'm not betting anything on it to be a hit because some major sites gave bad previews for it but why the hell would true gamers be bothered by those? if you like the demo and for you Too Human is good, buy it and enjoy it! for those who hate it, nobody is forcing to buy it, so leave it alone! every game has their own audience! if it's not you, it's somebody else's!

2 - Lol, this game is overhyped IMO
The demo put me to sleep. Very boring gameplay.

2.1 - Care to show proof?
My 360 Gamertag and PSN ID are listed. I don't believe you tried the demo let alone own a 360.

On topic: I didn't really care about this game one way or the other till I tried the demo. It took a while to get used to attacking with the right analog instead of using it for camera functionality. I almost beat the demo without ever switching weapons either. Once I switched weapons and learned the combat system I was hooked.

Edit: Rob0g0rilla- You obviously do care because you took the time to respond. I called you out. Show us proof you own a 360 or that you actually played the demo. What do you have to lose? Try to at least show that your comment has some credibility.

Eidt: elitewh0re- Because then he would be exposed. He can go to download a pic or go to a friends house to do a pic. But if he showed a gamertag then we could actually message him or know what games he has or is playing.

Deleted the demo awhile ago. Didn't like it.

@NowGen

Yes, overhyped......in my opinion. You might of missed that. I think a lot of people did. Played this demo 3 times and deleted it.

Anyone can make a gamertag. But here it is anyways. Bizarr0oo

Lol, don't get butthurt over my opinion.

This is what I've been seeing..

"-I didn't like the demo, it sucks and is surely an over hyped flop.

-Wait, what?!, you don't believe me?? Look, look, I got picks, my opinion is valid now and if I say it sucks and is over hyped, it sucks and is over hyped!"

It is getting sad really, can we just accept the fact that we are all snow flakes and have different tastes? I like the game, some people I've seen here also like it and can't wait to play it, can we be mature enough to respect that...in the game zone at least?

I respect the fact that some of you don't like it but can you pls stop shoving your opinion in our throats like it word from god himself? this is absurd.

I apologize. I stand corrected. I got your messages on Live and saw the pics. Please forgive me. Alot of people run around on N4G pretending like they own one console or the other or both and flame on some game or console that they have never experienced.

I can admit when I am wrong. Thank you for taking the time to set me straight.

I still disagree with your opinion about Too Human. But now I at least respect it as a real opinion.

Nice to see two people work out things reasonably instead of a flame war. That's certainly a rarity on this site. Props to you guys.

Now on topic, the game definitley has its flaws, and after all the bad press, I was starting to regret my pre-order. I'm glad they brought the demo out as early as they did, because that changed my mind. I did rather enjoy the demo. I feel its reviews will be somewhere in the 8's when it comes out.

dwd it's all about opinions.

go to the game critics awards site and check out the game that stood out with the most nominations this e3. lbp. THEY seem to find lbp NOT boring, and lots of ppl don't find it either.
lots of ppl don't like too human, anything wrong with that?

u really show ur true colors with that comment.

edit: u seem to have removed a big part of ur comment...oh well.

yeah i played it, at the beggining i didn't really liked it but i gave it a few more tries too to try out the different classes, and i enjoyed it. it is a good demo, and perhaps a good game, can't really say without playing the full version.
it took a lot of flak because of those lame e3 showings, that dyack vs epic crap, and all that stuff. he should have just shut up and made the game.
but there's something that seems to affect only me: THAT FREAKING ANNOYING JUMP ANIMATION! lol. honestly is it just me? the guy looks really weird when he's jumping.

also my first post, don't take it too seriously, i was just replying in the same way u replied to them.

2.15 - Every game is Overhyped IMO
Every game is, whenever i get excited for a game and i go look at Screenshots and little trailers and stuff i get hyped up of course... but the game is never how i thought or felt it would be and then when i play the game its not and im disappointed... well ive stopped doing that now and now whenever i play a game that is suppose to be awesome i really think its awesome... I hope i was able to explain that lol might be little confusing and i hope you all get what im trying to say... :)

anyway i just redownloaded it and giving it another shot and to really see if you get hooked after a couple of trys..

3 - I thought the demo was pretty good...
Nothing mind blowing but it was pretty fun. The thing I find funny is how some sites like this make it look like it is amazing but when Killzone 2 is being talked about there quick to say stuff like what is innovative about it, and so the same comes for this game, where are those questions since the demo I played I didnt find nuttin special about it but it was fun? Ill prolly buy this game but please lets not go over our heads over a few downloads. Did it ever consider to u that maybe many of those people who downloaded it was also dissappointed for example like how tons of people downloaded haze, but that game sucked a$$ but it did have alot of people download it to try it out. Im just saying that just because many people downloaded the game doesnt mean all of them will enjoy it.

You know the PS3 controller does almost the same thing (mechanics wise) as the 360's d-pad. The 360 just has a thing between the pad and the sensors.
