FAIL topic...

Too Human wasn't hyped anywhere near as much as Haze was. Haze was supposed to be a system seller (It did have massive sales considering how crap it was).

Too Human scored better in most reviews and is considered a better, although still very flawed game.

Too Human will sell less than Haze overall because of blind fanboys on the PS3 buying it (the sales so far HAVE PROVED this theory), along with the GENERAL SHORTAGE OF QUALITY TITLES ON THE PS3 AS A WHOLE

El falso:

Please don't make me make the typical list of games, either already released or unreleased.

Whatever, Uncharted, MGS4, UT3 (mods) Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, GT5:P, Folklore, LBP, Resistance 2, SOCOM, KZ2, etc......

The thing is, Haze wasn't hyped. When we talk about about "hype" we are referring to the general "feeling" and atmosphere months or weeks before the game is released. And, excuse me but I didn't get that feeling. No one said it was the new Far Cry or Halo or Half Life. And apart from some 13 year old PS3 owners, who have never played a descent FPS in all their -short- gaming life, nobody said that Haze will redefine the genre. But the game wasn't too bad, wasn't too good either. And the crazy and lame thing that happens in this generation, started again. "ZOMG, it didn't get a 9 on IGN-FLOOP, BOOOMB" etc etc. Pathetic

Talking about Too Human, it did get TONS of HYPE. NEGATIVE hype. I still remember the reactions to the 2005 (or 6) E3 that the game was atrocious. And may I tell you, there is a lot of improvement in there, when a game from "atrocious" becomes fun, addictive for the first 25 or so hours, and rewarding (lots of customization, different classes, variant gameplay).
But then, there was Dyack. And there were all the BS he said about redifineing the genre etc etc. And there was the biggest HATE expression I have ever seen on the net for a single game. Just read the goddamn Destructoid review. The guy acts as if Dyack stole his wife or something.
And there is a valid point in this thread, made by BAROZI, which is really worth noticing. The Variety of the scores in different reviews indicates the confusion of the reviewers and reflects the hostility against a game, not because of the quality of the game, but because of its creators. Pathetic and sad if you ask me. Moreso, I read that Too Human toped the rental charts for the past weeks, and this is just another evidence of how much confused the consumers are.
PLAY the goddamn game, bought, rented or given from your friend. It worths the time...

I'm laughing at the claims that people are making about Haze actually being a hyped game. I never found one credible website that had Haze as a "top 10 most wanted", ever since it's first public demo.

Who would hype a game with horrible previews that gets released after GTA4 and before MGS4? Lair and Heavenly sword were games that had hype, Haze had a bad reputation since the day it was shown, the delays didn't help the "hype" either.

The demo arrived on May 6th and the game on May 20th. There isn't much time to make a new "Top 10 Most Wanted PS3 Games" list.

Beside that. Here's a nice most wanted list from 1UP written in mid February 08

Haze on 1st place.

Haze was not hyped that much at all, it stopped getting hype back in January

Too Human also stopped getting hype after the big delay back when the release was supposed to be Fall 2007

 

Haze was hyped not Halo ot GTA IV hype but hyped and Too Human was a mixed hype we all new it was like 7 years in dev so that always does not bode well for a game. 

 

Game Rankings

HAze  56.9%

Too Human 69%

Both games arenty going to light the world on fire, but too human should outsell haze

 



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

Two exclusives that were hyped to the max, but met with hostile reviews and poor sales.

I confess that I paid good money for Haze upon release in Japan.  I'm not even going to try and defend it, but at the very least I could have spent the time playing worse.  I beat the single player, then got about 3/4 through in online co-op, which was reasonably entertaining.  Then I sold the game (probably about a week after buying it).  Ultimately though it was pretty poor.

I can't speak for Too Human.

Anyway, the games have been compared to one another before, and it looks like for good reason too.

Haze sold about 400,000 to date.

Too Human did OK in the US during the first week, but pretty badly elsewhere.

So which one will win?  In other words, which one will sell the least?

If figure Too Human might win it.  Shocking sales in Japan and Others, and at least Haze being an FPS meant it had some brief legs, where Too Human is some unusual RPG/action type game.

Bit sure if either qualifies as a bomb I think they didnt live up to the hype, but they will both sell close to a half million
