The most anticipated gaming craze is now rumored to be misunderstood than ever. Apparently, the first edition of Silicon knights Too Human Trilogy was earlier taken as anything other than a rock solid high-speed, one-player action game, but not anymore.
At least this is what Denis Dyack, the developer’s founder and president discovered when he had recently visited Silicon Knights’ Canadian office.
For beginners, Too Human has a completely story-driven line and in fact, those enjoying role-playing games with deliberate emphasis on loot collection are in for a real treat.
Though the number of players allowed to team up to play the game are not yet known, but an option of five different character classes to choose from are confirmed. Since camera positions in Too Human are more or less locked, the right analog stick could be well used to attack enemies in any direction.
It hurt to see the walls crumble around HD-DVD last month. With Toshiba calling it quits this week, I feel almost as bad as I did when the iPhone price drop happened. Although I’m not a huge fan of DVD’s, I had a chance to pick up the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player for relatively cheap and took advantage of it. For $180 I managed to snag the HD-DVD player with King Kong included, Transformers, Batman Begins, 5 mail away movies, and Heroes Season 1 Box Set. I thought it was a good deal, so I bought 2 and sold one, bringing my final price down to around $50.
I finally remembered to pick up my copy of Lost Odyssey today, after driving past the Gamestop I reserved it at for over a week. When I went in to the store, I found out that they didn’t hold pre-orders for more than 48 hours. After that they became regular copies that anyone could buy. Not sure if I agree with that, but I did pre-order it there so there’s not much I could do.
Today at the Game Developers Convention, developer Peter Molyneux announced some new details about Lionhead Studios highly anticipated sequal, Fable 2. Molyneux explained that players will be able to get a head start making money for Fable 2 before the game is even launched. Lionhead Studios has plans to release an XBLA game that provides you with a few different gambling opportunities to make you some gold. When the actual game launches, you’ll be able to import your money over to the game so you don’t start out poor.
With the success of Portal, one of the many games in the Orange Box, the debate has begun as to whether a three hour game can actually hold it’s own against giants like Halo. What exactly are we looking for from new games? Quality content or length? While some have voted Portal as 2007 Game of the Year, others have rejected it as anything more than part of a compilation.
