Too Human: Ten Years in the Making�Will it be worth it?
August 29, 2008 on 1:24 pm | By admin | In TechnologyWhen is too much time a little too much? Too Human, the new action RPG from Silicon Knights, will finally be released this week after ten grueling years since the plan for the video game was erected. But with so much time invested in research and development, one should expect this game to reach the pinnacle of all RPGs. From the demo and online video samples, nothing seems to stand out. As the first installment of a planned trilogy, lot of similarities can be seen from previous RPGs such as God of War and the Final Fantasy anthology. So what differentiates this RPG from others?
When the player assumes the role of Baldur, a Cybernetic God, the player is responsible for the protection of mankind. What the public has been waiting for is the graphics and the gameplay of the video game. One can expect a nonstopping bombardment of action which utilizes flawless high flying hand/sword battles and is combined with long-range firearm combat. Players will have the chance to play online through Xbox Live. With Xbox Live, two players would have the opportunity to participate in co-operative gaming as they both try to save all of mankind.
If you still find yourself asking what makes this different from the other countless number of RPGs, do not fret. We’re thinking the same thing. There seems to be nothing special about the game despite all the time that was invested in creating the game. But, will it be a hit with gamers? Only time can tell if the game will turn out to be a success. But so far, all we have learned is that time is the only thing the game has going.
