Too Human Drops Cloak Of Mystery

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."

No preview?

Dennis Dyack said over and over how bad previews are for the industry after their disastrous showing which was anyone but their own fault...source: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3158015 [1up.com]

I listened to the podcast argument about this, which was very entertaining, but bottom line, end of the day, what happens? Previews come out for Too Human. Seems awful hypocritical to me...
