Forums - Gaming Discussion - DYACK WATCH: He speaks the truth but incorrectly applies it.

Taken from OXM interview here:

http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=5792

I think we took for granted how innovative the game was. First of all, the demo got a tremendous amount of attention. We've had over a million downloads, the reception has been by and large extremely positive.

But what we're also seeing is for the people who don't like it, generally just don't get it. And it's because we've created something so innovative and different. It's ironic, it just shows that human nature of if you don't understand something, you immediately attack it. It's pretty interesting in that regard.

He's 100% right. Just look at how the self-procliamed hardcore gamers (read elitist pricks) treat casual gamers, casual games, and Nintendo Wii. Innovation is scarry. But Denis is trying to apply this truth to Too Human, which suffers not from innovation-hate but suffers from being mundane. Comments?

Tell Denis Dyack to put the next two Too Human installments on hold to make the Eternal Darkness sequel he himself rumormongered.

The Wii could really use that game.



ED2 would be awesome.

So people who do not like a game, are the ones who don't "get it"? :)

Yeah, hack&slash games are really THAT hard to "get".

Dyack is fast becoming one of the people in the gaming industry that need to STFU

If we "don't get it" maybe he should explain "it" to us.

Of course I think most people "get it" and by that I mean they "get" that when someone tells you that you just don't "get it" they are just being an elitist snob too wrapped up in their own view of themselves to admit "it"s not as good as they've convinced themselves "it" is.

Hopefully he gets over "it" and tries again, from what I've seen of Too Human its not a complete miss, "it"s just got poor execution in some key areas. Perhaps a little more listening to his play-testers instead of telling them they don't "get it" and "it" could have been good...who knows?
