Forums - Sales - Battle of the Bombs - Haze Vs Too Human

And since sales/reviews were poor what now?

Does it give you some sort of satisfaction to continuously have a game to point at and ridicule?

A lot of games bomb, good or bad. Good games like Okami, Ico, & Beyond Good & Evil are all bombs. I'm not saying either game is even close to those but I don't get the whole need to throw a poor received game (whether it be in sales, reviews, or both) back in somebody's face. I owned Too Human and if you separate some of the Dyack hate I had a enjoyable time with it. More than other games that reviewers told me were better. Haze I tried as well, but didn't enjoy quite as much. I just don't get the point of hoisting either game up to be some sort of fanboy ammunition to start forum battles with. But more power to the people that want to.

I picked it up last wee (used for 29 bucks) and Too Human is quite fun for people that actually play it. I have rockband 2 and merceneries 2 collecting dust until i finish too human with my buddy.

People that make thse Too Human bombed! posts have never played it and are mostly trolls...

I dont know about haze but im sure some good gaming can be squeezed out of that package as well.



Too Human will sell less, but it was a better game than Haze. I rented TH and liked it.

You make (another) major point there. Anyway, Haze had issues, and it was a mediocre shooter. And there are LOTS of mediocre shooters out there (for example, blacksite area 51 is MUCH better than Haze).

Too Human had some issues too (and a lot of hate), but it was not a mediocre Hack n Slash. It was high above mediocre. And keep in mind that there are not many h'n's games out there. Still, officialy, Too Human BOMBED much worse than almost any other game of its potential.

I don't know if this point has been brought up (cause I don't feel like reading through what I know is gonna be nothing but hate spew) but Too Human built their game engine from the ground up. They have 2 more games to put out in their trilogy that will cost WAY less to make than the first one. I'm done.

People still think there will be a trilogy? Lighten up. Both games were hyped, and both failed.

I will be getting Too Human for Christmas I played the demo and thought it was pretty good



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

5-6 hours in the game (35%). I mean Too Human. This is a very strange game. First you need to force yourself not to use right stick for camera, but for attack. You can't just pick it up and play. Only after 2-3 hours you can get used to it, if you have enough patience of course. Story is just to stretched to follow it. The graphics are good. I like it art design. Enemies are well animated, but the main characters models are bald and out of charm. The game force you to check for new stuff and updates constantly. If you refuse to do this enemies will kick your ass, cos they level up with you. There are some moments where you can do nothing to stop the waves of enemies - you die and start from the same point with full heаlth to finish them. This is the most annoying thing for me.

Too Human is possibly the biggest bomb this generation given it's rumoured budget.

We can all speculate as to the 'hype level' attached to either project, but in reailty when the production and marketing costs far exceed the overall revenue of a project, it constitutes as a bomb/flop. Not when it fails to meet critical expectation or 'hype' (A project can still be a financial success without those).

It would seem as though Too Human comes off the worse to wear in the financial department, ergo making it the bigger 'bomb' of the two.

I guess that is open to interpretation.

Given the game was in development with Sony assistance on the PS1, Nintendo assistance on the Gamecube, then finally got out the door with Microsoft assistance on the Xbox 360, it's fair to say this game bombed hardest for Nintendo and Sony, as they saw literally zero return on their investment.

What? I doubt Sony or Nintendo gave SK any money at all. Wasn't it published by Microsoft? 

It doesn't even matter what console it was on. The game had an astronomical budget and it bombed, badly. Haze probably had an average budget, judging by the graphics. It has sold 410,000 and has a chance to break even.



Too Human and Haze were both ordinary games. Can we please forget about them and just talk about the good games out and coming to both PS3 and 360.
