Silicon Knights und ihr Legacy of Kain, waren seiner Zeit immerhin der Grund, warum ich mir ne PSX gekauft habe.
Eternal Darkness nicht zu vergessen
Hier ein neues Preview von Too Human:
First Hands-on with Too Human
In 1999 Silicon Knights announced the development of an action adventure game called Too Human for the PlayStation. Since then the game has gone from a four disc action adventure title on Sonys first console to a Gamecube title alongside Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes and Eternal Darkness: Sanitys Requiem to its current format - an Action RPG exclusive to the Xbox 360.
To say Too Human has history is putting it lightly. Nevertheless, I approached the title without expectations nine years is a long time and anticipation can dull.
Walking in without expectations was probably very beneficial to how I received Too Human a lot of Silicon Knights fans will expect something like Eternal Darkness, a deep and immersive story driven survival horror game which always kept you guessing. I expected
nothing.
Starting the game actually gave me a Mass Effect vibe you choose your class between your prototypical RPG classes - healer, ranged combat, tanking class, melee combat and the all-rounder (with sci-fi names like Bio-Engineer) - and the space opera begins.
The story is strong, and I hope it remains untouched from preview to final copy without spoiling too much you play Baldur, one of the Norse Gods fighting to stop an onslaught by machines. The title comes into play here, as you need to use cybernetics to enhance your body you are too human to defeat the things you might become.
Too Human is definitely an Action RPG though, the type of game which doesnt necessarily need story. The way the game attempts to overwhelm you at times with sheer numbers while simply pummelling you with massive enemies at others this game could do away with the story altogether and punters would still get it.
They're everywhere!
The control system takes some getting used to, but the learning curve is fair. Melee attacks use your right thumbstick, while movement uses your left. Triggers are used to fire and you can lock onto targets with ease. The game keeps the camera in a nice, cinematic position most of the time, but you can centre it back on yourself with the press of the button whenever you please.
Killing things is just a matter of chaining up combos until things stop moving. The fast paced, frenetic action is the games high point, and unfortunately the inventory system will have you pausing the action constantly to change weapons, armour and runes - bringing it all crashing back to the ground.
Most of the monsters you kill will drop loot, and when they do youll find yourself pausing the action to check it out. This is preview code were playing here, but the menu system is very clunky and it accentuates the jolting stop/start nature of the action.
If the team at Silicon Knights can find a way to address the menu system and keep the pace running throughout the entire game, Too Human will be a masterpiece. We're keen to see how Co-op multiplayer shapes up when the full game comes out too.
Its definitely a game to keep your eye on, but for now its basically how I would see Diablo working on a console and thats not necessarily a good thing.
