Too Human Drops Cloak Of Mystery

Posted by Zonk on from the and-it-doesnt-look-half-bad dept.

That 'other' RPG hybrid, Too Human has been in silent running mode since their disastrous 2006 E3 showing. Thankfully, the game has progressed to the point where the team felt comfortable revealing the game. For the moving picture show, GameTrailers has you covered. For a more textual experience, 1up, Team Xbox, and Gamespot all chip in with their two cents. From Gamespot's post: "If you're familiar with the loot/drop systems in MMO games and action role-playing games, such as Diablo II, you'll have a reasonable idea of what you can expect from Too Human. Many of the enemies that you kill--most of which are robotic variations on classic fantasy goblins, dark elves, and the like--will drop weapons, armor pieces, or item blueprints for you to collect. Items are color-coded according to their rarity, and unsurprisingly, the most powerful items in the game are those that drop the least frequently. The rarest and most powerful items in Too Human can only be obtained by collecting a blueprint for their design from an enemy then spending a significant amount of money on having the item crafted."

    Seems to be a big day for referencing Diablo II on /..

    Great to see a new game copying everything thats been done before by successful developers but adding a banal twist. I look forward to not playing this.

    Silicon Knights made Eternal Darkness, quite possibly one of the most unique and interesting games to grace last generation's consoles. The idea of Norse mythology playing out in a futuristic setting is an interesting one and leaves a lot of room for creative and unique story telling. I can't fathom why everyone has this inbound hatred for a game that seems like an excellent concept and will most likely go down in history as one of those oddball gems, much akin to Eternal Darkness.
