Forums - Microsoft - Too Human a flop?

Jo21 on 17 August 2008

the styling is nice but it won't be a AAA title

looks too much like monster masher like ninety nine nights.

if the story would be is saving grace.

And here I though a flop was based on sales and profits...

I don't think Too Human is going to be as bad as some expect but the demo doesn't exactly make me hopeful of it being much more than mediocre.

The demo is great...why would you see it as a negative?

 

 

You state that the demo was great as if it were a fact, however I didn't find it to be all that good.

We all have different taste I guess.

This game won't flop. It may not get the best reviews in the world, but it is going to sell well. They'll get a million out the door pretty quick.

For all the Sony Fanboys who keep saying that this is the 360's Haze and that this game is crap, grow up. It is a new IP and offers a new take on controls in a hack-n-slash. Silicon Knights has gone a bit of a different direction for this game and people should hope that it succeeds, regardless of fanboy alignment. It encourages developers to step out on a limb every now and then. If they don't, it'll be GTA19, GT37, GOW9, and so on. I'll be quitting gaming for certain at that point.

 

If you read the reasoning behind it being the next Haze instead of looking at the word Haze and assuming it's me saying that it's a FPS, then you'd understand that it was a comparison about a mediocre game being hyped up because the main company backing it, has invested way too much money on the game.

 

If you read my post (no need to read between the lines or for intent, as it is clear), this game won't flop.  A flop means a sales dud, doesn't it?  It's going to sell well.  Will it end up being review well, in total, once there are a bunch in? Maybe.  Maybe not.  The review score won't label it a flop or not -- just a good or bad game.  Sales will determine if it is a flop.

So, on to the Haze comment (mine wasn't directly aimed at you but since you took it that way, I'll respond)...  Haze WAS hyped -- and hard.  Does the term Halo Killer mean anything to you?  Microsoft didn't even discuss Too Human at E3.  Yes, too human is getting a lot of attention, but I don't believe it is getting anywhere near the hype.

Regardless, Haze, as a game, did two things exceptionally well:  Sales Flop, and piss poor reviews.  I don't belive Too Human will do either.  It will end up with decent reviews (not AAA) and good sales.  That would mean, of course, that this isn't 360's Haze.  This is all opinion, of course, and time will be the ultimate judge.
