It appears as if Too Human's long and painful development has finally been put to rest and, presumably, Denis Dyack can go back on his meds again. That's right, Too Human is gold and ready to go.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the (not very enjoyable) Too Human demo has reached 900,000 downloads on Xbox Live. Helped in no small part, I'm sure, to Dyack's online bear baiting and perpetual tantrums during the game's development. Who needs to make a good game when controversy sells even better than quality? Not that I'm saying Too Human is a bad game, just the demo. I'll wait until I actually play Too Human in full before making my opinion known. And believe me, I will.
Destructoid will of course have a review up for your enjoyment, although I doubt Denis will come to Destructoid and do what one game developer did when we had our last review. No names mentioned.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos. With his passionate argumentative style, controversial opinions, harsh delivery, and dedication to brutal honesty Sterling is a name that you can't help but recognize.

...and 2 other analog sticks for the camera and proper aiming.
Combat, not so much. :(
Furthermore, why does every new game have to be a part of a planned trilogy? Why can't we have one game that has a full three chapters worth of content.
It was good, for a game that came out in 2004.
Then Duke Nukem Forever must be the video game opus that will eclipse everything ever made
Prey would beg to differ. :)
The camera and the combat system was just bloody awful...
Then again, don't let me stop people from condemning a game before they've given it a chance. Everyone knows the age old saying, 'Judge a game by a few minutes at a convention'
I liked the demo enough to def wanna play it. I'm not sure I'll buy it at full retail price but the loot and upgrade system was addictive enough for me to waste a bunch of time which is more than I can say about a lot of other games I've played.
Plus, I really like the story and setting and wanna see what they managed to do with such a cool concept story-wise.
we don't need a review from you to understand this game will be a fail
Seriously, I'll sell my body. Any takers?
This will do for Dennis Dyack, what the Virtual Boy did for Gunpey Yakoi.
There are too many other games coming up that I really, really want for me to spend any money on this game. Hopefully, their next game will find my interest.
srsly gaiz u lyk dissapoint me :(
Now, normally I wouldn't care to be so dramatic about the quality of a demo, or any game for that matter, however given this games history and hype, I believe it is warranted. The Turok demo sucked too, but who cares? Nobody was saying it was going to blow all our balls off for 10 years.
Zing!
The Norse myhthology is interesting, at the very least different from most other games.
@Quest
Zing!
Your still trying to get a job at dtoid by sucking them .... loll pathetic
Truth is, if I hadn't played the demo I prob would have bought this game at its release. Thats hype for you.
As for the targeting on the stick, it goes where you tilt the stick, as for the guns? Meh, it's ok, I don't plan to use them much, I'm in it for the hack n' slash.
Did you guys even try the other weapon types? Axes, hammers, staves, etc.?
