Molyneaux Doesn't Like Too Human

Always a vocal person, Peter Molyneaux recently talked about the games he is looking forward to this year, noting, in particular, Too Human, which he felt to be "slightly off", noting that he would have done things differently if he were in charge.

"It has some gems in there, but they're hard to find," he said. "I quite like the combat and felt it was accessible, but I just… If I got my hands on the game, I'd rip out a few of the things they did and just concentrate on the core."

"It just slightly forgot about what it was trying to be," Molyneaux continued. "In a way, it tried to be something it was not. It felt - and again, I thought it did some things really well - that there was something slightly off about it. I'm sure that Dennis Dyack is going to come and kill me now!"

Well this guy seems to be the only developer I've seen thats actually put in an honest 2 cents. The thing about Too Human is the game is good but just like he said something is off and will hopefully be fixed if they plan on releasing a part 2 and 3. Console war is also right though and I too believe that Sony fanboys and there developers other then ted price should take note from this man.

@Jamie Fox... I'm glad to see you have become an unbiased gamer, agree and bubble for you!

To the sony fanboys... How can you judge a game you have never played? I can understand you giving your opinion of why you don't like a game. But for someone to say a game sucked, when they never played it... I don't get it?

'How can you judge a game you have never played?'

Kind of reminds you of Haze and Lair, doesn't it?

LMAO.
Denis Dyck. He probably still thinks his game's perfect and that we (gamers) are the ones that don't get it. Which means Two Human 2 will be just as bad as the second since the guy doesn't take critics.

3 - Well sack_boi
i think that he knows the game sucked even though he had a good concept going.

But even knowing that it is hard to be excited about Too Human 2.

Those of us who actually played instead of just talking out of our asses are certainly looking forward to it.

He even criticized his own game. Just for that I hope his game is really successful. Which it most likely will be since every 360 game(besides too human ironically) somehow sells over a million copies regardless of how it's recieved. lol Fable 2 looks good though and it's coming out around the holiday season.

1 dev that tells honesty about his product... something that would better but also ruin the gaming community if known. If we knew how bad Haze and Too Human were (not ripping the people who bought the games, just speaking for the majority who didn't like them and it's a lot)... we wouldn't have even given them any credit at all. So not being completely honest keeps us some what compelled in their games. But to know maybe a little something or other just didn't add up, is just nice to know the dev admits a fault... truth never hurts, and if it does the honesty makes it noble none the less!
