1 - 'very exciting'
That`s not what most of the reviews say......

Who knows there might be a crowd for it, that would support a trilogy.

MSFT **needs** some SOLID NEW PROJECTS, IMO anyway.

Are you kidding me... Too Human's story CAN'T even come close to matching its story with SW or LOTR.

Then your perception of 'exciting' is flawed.

Stupid Microsoft, I don't want a trilogy coming out of a game that is more than likely going to suck going on reviews. Spend your money on other developers and other games.

Too bad some 360 owners (POG) will buy this game just because it is exclusive (like the people that bought Haze lol). MS needs to get there act together and start spending there money on new IPs that I would want to buy, not STUPID Lips, or you're in the movies. GeOW2 is the only game worth buying for 360 this year (and maybe Fallout 3)

The difference here is obvious, while two had big budgets and were good and well loved, one has a big budget and isn't.

It's even worse. One is a not too well received video game, while one of the others is considered the world over to be a literary masterpiece and has probably sold more copies than the bible.

I have no ill-will wished upon Too Human (it's got enough problems of its own already), but this is just ridiculous. Then again, it makes sense that they would say something like this considering they're the ones that hold the publishing rights to this IP.

Well at least the negative reviews will give Too Human 2 some idea of what it needs to be great. Who know it could have the turnaround of the century. Lots of games go from being good to having bad sequels, it can always work the other way round.

Example.

Uphill- Guerilla Games/Media Molecule

I bet that only applies to Too Human and not for Killzone 2, right?

Well Killzone 2 has been said to just be a standard shooter with no innovative features to call its own, so it will likely score in the 8's region if its lucky. Also Killzone 1 was so bad all you can really do is go up, and i doubt Too Human 2 can get much worse

@ HighDefinition
How has Bungie gone downhill H3 single player was a bit of a letdown but the multiplayer is still the best around, not to mention its one of the highest rated console exclusives (rated same as MGS4 infact)

i'm not talking about scores rly, what i find funny is that killzone has a metascore of 70 with 67 reviews, too human meta of 67 with 14 reviews, but according to omega4 "the spinner" it is obvious that killzone 2 will get bad reviews (since killzone 1 was just an average game) but only too human 2 (which of course will be better, it's too human TWO) will learn from past mistakes. i mean hey one is for ps3 the other for 360. clearly only the devs at silicon knights are capable of *gasp* "learning".

Funny, I don't remember you being so forgiving when Haze got poor reviews. Strange huh? The difference a platform can make. Oh, plus a little bias.

They've got the engine and the basic game. I think despite the tepid reviews it will sell pretty decently, so I don't see why they won't have a sequel. Denis can either take to heart and fix the shortcomings of the game for part II or he can ride around on his high horse and complain how no one "got" his game and deliver more of the same.

Story at the same level as StarWars and LOTR, HOLD IT, thats plain embarrassing, come on, its never gonna get even close to these two classics.

I understand that an average game needs some PR, but this is so wrong it is gonna hit in the wrong direction.

12 - I'm excited as well, not like gears of War 2 type excitment but why wouldn' MS be excited?
No body in here has played Too Human and if this is a trilogy then who knows they could fix whatever reviewers feel like were flaws and even ad 4-player co-op next time around.

Never cease to amaze me how fanboys want franchises to just fail. Hey we all now who they are.

If your not getting a 360 or Too Human, then why even comment about the trilogy. This is MS's game, so I'm not sure what some expect them to say, I mean if you secure a trilogy for a franchise, it doesn't mean the next installment will not fix flaws(based on these reviews). I think this game went through lots of issues and still managed to keep it together and actually come out.

I have not played it but liked the DEMO. I welcome a Trilogy, as well Eternal Darkness. I think there will be less problems next time around.

"Very exciting" MS?

Is that why the title got such a massive showing at E3 this year with tons of videos, hands on demos and a central showcase at your press conference of upcoming 360 games?

Oh wait...
