Too Human is not a good role-playing game. The five available character classes (Berserker, Defender, Champion, Commando, and Bioengineer) initially offer some strategic gameplay differences because of their proficiency in certain skills — the Berserker is better with melee weapons, while the Bioengineer has regenerative health. But beyond the first level, these differences become less substantial. Methods for defeating enemies are largely the same for all classes because almost every single enemy attacks with the same rushing-horde mentality.
id’s post-apocalyptic open-world shooter Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac) will look worse on Xbox 360 due to the compression needed to fit the game’s assets on two DVDs, programmer John Carmack revealed at tonight’s QuakeCon keynote.
According to Carmack, the royalty fees to include a third disc in the Xbox 360 version would be so high that it simply isn’t a feasible solution, with the programmer hoping for Microsoft to make a concession. He stressed that the issue is merely a storage problem and has nothing to do with the power of the Xbox 360 hardware, while adding that the PlayStation 3’s Blu-ray format is Sony’s one leg up on the competition.
Carmack also noted his belief that neither Doom 4 or Rage will be digitally distributed online, as id isn’t looking into that sort of distribution for its major titles at this point.
Ok John, what about installing games on 360’s HDD to improve performance and minimizing loadings? Sounds weird, because Microsoft said you will be able to install games on your HDD, and it’s not joke. Why don’t you use this? Just like optional features, wanna get less loadings and more stable framerate - install game like you got PS3, don’t want or don’t have free space - play regular DVD’s with bigger loadings and less stable framerate?
Microsoft has just announced that the long-awaited title from Silicon Knights, Too Human, has gone gold. After years of speculation and constant speed bumps, the development team at Silicon Knights has managed to finish Too Human.
Well, it looks like the years of development have finally come to a close and the game will begin shipping to stores on August 19th.
The editors of 1UP.com and Electronic Gaming Monthly have recovered enough from this year’s videogame preview overdose to place their votes for the best games seen at E3 2008. Some games, like Gears of War 2 were naturally expected to leave a big impression, but this year saw its share of unforeseen knockout punches with high-concept surprises like Flower, or the every-bit-as-good-as-promised showing made by Little Big Planet, which took Best of Show, and surprises like FF XIII announce on Xbox360.
