Too Human wasn't hyped. the only reason why its in the public eye is because of Dyack and his flapping mouth. Most people knew that they have a long road ahead of them when designing that game looking at the demos and E3 booths.

Haze automatically got a "system seller" brand name beacuse its A. a PS3 exclusive FPS and B. Designed by goldeneye experts Free radical.

In any case, why don't we forget about both and concentrate on howmany overhyped and crappy Wii games sell million copies?

So are you seriously telling me that Too Human wasn't hyped like Haze?  I mean, there had to be a lot of hype surrounding this game.  Microsoft signed up for the trilogy of the game before the first one even hit.  They did it with Mass Effect too, and we can all agree that game was hyped correct?  So how come Too Human "wasn't hyped"?  It just seems weird that people would say that Too Human isn't hyped when it obviously was.

Again, how was Haze a system seller?  The Haze hype died after IGN's preview, and the second delay (in March).

Microsoft signs lot of 3rd party devs for trilogy games. Thats what they do...they don't have as many in studio devs as sony.
Otherwise Too Human may have been hyped but pretty much every preview of the game going 2 years back was shutting the game down and saying how its horrible.

As far as Haze, I had a ps3 when the game came out and I got the demo. I see how this potentially looked like a cool game to the previewers. It would have worked had it been done cell shaded style with humor and some gameplay tweaks. I beleve there was far more positive press about haze than too human.
