Fans of cyber-Norse mythology rejoice! Microsoft has announced that Silicon Knights' Too Human has officially gone gold. That means that after ten long years, it's done. The press release also notes that the Too Human demo -- currently available on Xbox Live Marketplace -- "has already been downloaded more than any other action demo on Xbox LIVE Marketplace in its first week of availability and has been one of the top played titles on Xbox LIVE overall." Keen observers will note that the Too Human demo landed at number 8 on the most recent list of top Live games played. The game is scheduled to hit retail shelves on August 19.

I must say, I have been so hot-cold-hot-cold and now hot again on this game. I have actually pre-ordered too human making it the first pre-order for me in 2 years! Unfortunately, the release date falls on my 1 year anniversary with my lovely girlfriend. August 20th FTW!

Congrats and Godspeed to Mr Dyack and the whole Silicon Knights Team. Hopefully this game sells a bunch and it all turns out good for them.

Congrats to you too Diggystyle.

The post didn't mention it but the demo has already surpassed 900,000 downloads in the first couple weeks its been out.

Also since it's been downloaded more than any other action game demo that means it's beaten both ninja gaiden 2 and devil may cry 4.

to be fair, Ninja Gaiden 2 didn't have much demo love before the game came out.

Too bad the game kinda sucks. For me, story is most important (hence why MGS is probably my favorite series, as well as JRPG's like Lost Odyssey), and the story in the demo was laughable. The characters were unconvincing, and the story was just stupid and predictable at best.

It combat is decent, but nothing to get too excited about.

SadisticHam said...

What was predictable about the story? o.0

It barley made any sense, in fact I'd go as far as to say their was little to no story to predict because it was a demo. XD

MGS's story was silly by the end. It just added way too many elements and emotions that really were boring.

The_Punisher said...

Your opinion golia. As a huge fan of the series, i loved every minute of it.

As for Too Human, it's one of the first stories i literally lol'd at it was so bad. It was like those parts in Halo 3 when it took itself too seriously.

(oh, i went there)

Arnon said...

Punisher.. I don't think you realize that there was no story in the demo. Possibly due to the fact that it's a demo, and you only played through half a level.

w00t!

The two biggest selling games on the 360 (Halo 3 and GoW) don't have downlodable demos. It's ridiculous.
But then Too Human and crap like Vampire Rain get demos. Why not put the Xbox's flagship franchise on a demo?
