Lair bombed because it sucked. I reckon Too Human will be a high-eighties averaging game that will do mediocre sales wise because of the horrible marketing it has received. I mean the game looks awesome. There hasn't been a single decent action RPG this generation ( I consider Mass Effect a pure RPG).

But I think this game will be awesome.

You think it will be awesome simply because it's coming to the 360.

What's stopping Too Human bombing because it sucks?

It doesn't look great from the videos I've seen. It's sort of similar to 'Alone in the Dark' in my view; some bits look quite decent, while other sections look clunky and terrible.

Watching this small segment of the game I could deduce a few things: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/30753.html

-Enemy AI is woeful.

-The main characters movements look a bit jerky

-Some textures look a bit strange

-Gameplay looks a bit bland and repeditive

Now It could turn out to be a decent game. Mass Effect had it's own issues like framerate etc. Yet, went on to be a (from what I've heard) a great game.

I'd be cautious though before saying this will definetly be awesome. Some things are just indicating it perhaps won't be. When game flaws, much like the case with 'Alone in the Dark', are evident in a trailers at this late stage in development you might have reason to worry.

At no point did I say it will be definitely be awesome, I said I think it will be.  But then again, at one point I almost bought a PS3 for Lair.  Thank god I held out a week for the reviews.  We have very different perspectives on where this game is going.  Personally I think the action looks fun, the graphics very nice (nothing revolutionary here), plus I'm holding out for a good action orientated RPG to hold me over till Fable 2 (although Infinite Undiscovery and Tales will take care of the JRPG front).

At the same time, your absolutely right.  At this point, all either of us can do is speculate.  If Lair proved one thing, it is that an awesome looking game doesn't always live up to your impressions and hopes.
