Dyack Bets Internet On 'Too Human'

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Thursday, June 26, 2008 2:43 PM

Denis Dyack, president of Silicon Knights, is making a bet with the posters at insider videogame bulletin board NeoGaf. At issue: will upcoming shooter Too Human be awesome or lame? Any thread about the upcoming game is filled with doubters, haters and other nere-do-wells, but Dyack has had enough, so he's putting his reputation on the line, sort of. Specifically, Dyack is asking whether posters are "for" or "against" Too Human. Then, someone is going to eat crow.

If gamers don't' like the game when it's releases in August for the 360, Dyack's username will read "Owned by GAF," where if the game is good, everyone who voted "against" will have names that read "Owned By Too Human."

Hey, Denis Dyack, we appreciate your passion and belief in your game, but seriously, you're a grown man who heads a company, you don't need to get in flame wars with the damn internet.

Johnson what are you talking about? No human is above the lure of the flame war.

Im seriously thinking on getting a 360 so I won't have to play my boys when Gears2 comes out. I might give Too Human a try.

notice he didn't offer a refund as part of his wager.

It looks like a repetitive hack n slash that belongs on the PS2. The 10 year development period dosen't help much either

Posted by sfubear - Thursday, June 26, 2008 5:09 PM
Wow this was like two days ago, pay attention G4

@savage1
hahahaha how typically uninformed that opinion sounds. The entire game has one load screen so and it still has good looking graphic, even if they aren't the best on the market. The game play looks good and some of the videos make the game play especially co-op play down right fun as heck.
But i guess there has to be that at least one person on each thread that has to insult a game that no one has played yet, I bet you were one of the guys that was looking forward to Haze...douche

@sfubear

Well apparently there are a ton of people who feel the way I feel or else Dyack wouldnt have to defend his game so much.

Also, no I was not looking forward to Haze because I am not a fan of Free Radical.

But I bet you were lookin forward to Ninja Gaiden 2, one of the 360s most hyped games. It sold only a few more than Haze and is nowhere near 1 mil.
Ninja Gaiden 2= FAIL....douche...bag

savage1 Silicon Knights has many games that own i have not played 1 crappy game from them so stfu.

Wow now I know xbots are kids, so many insults. Shouldn't you be playing Viva Pinata instead.

I didn't say anything about Silicon Knights but this game is being attacked because it looks lame.

Now you two kids run along and help Daddy Dyack defend his PS2-ish quality game on neogaf before mommy catches you in her room. I'll be waiting for something that wasn't in development for ten years.

queers.

Posted by raziel_hell - Thursday, June 26, 2008 6:54 PM
savage1 get ur facts straight also ninja gaiden sold 261,110 week 1 haze total now is 298,105 in 5 weeks

Posted by Lithidous - Thursday, June 26, 2008 7:01 PM
I love it when people like Mr Savage there or others like him, think they are the next Dr. Phil and analize what others say, and decide "oh they must be kids". With that thought in mind, Savage Im gonna assume your 7 years old due to the name calling, douche bags or queers. Cheers, now go watch Barney and Friends.

Posted by I_RRODed_AGAIN - Thursday, June 26, 2008 7:03 PM
I know it sold more but it was hyped to be a AAA title same as Haze and both failed.

Posted by I_RRODed_AGAIN - Thursday, June 26, 2008 7:10 PM
@Lithidous

Its actually a name an old friend of mine gave me, and you have to talk on children's level for them to understand.

Posted by I_RRODed_AGAIN - Thursday, June 26, 2008 7:26 PM
You guys can play this game that the creator has to constantly defend, I'll be waiting for Gears 2, Fallout 3 and some real Next-Gen games.

Posted by Slash5150 - Thursday, June 26, 2008 8:15 PM
I would just want to see everyone vote the game as crap, just to see his name get changed, then after that, pull a total 180 on attitude

,so nice to hear what u discussed here, i have enjoyed the game for nearly half a year, and so lucky i find my romance during the game...A handsome boy, and now we have taken all the games to our own space on multiraciallove.com where many interracial singles and couples are enjoy their games as well as romance .....

Posted by capthavic - Friday, June 27, 2008 12:38 PM
I want this game to do well (not that I want any game to fail) but this is just stupid. Does he really need to pull an Uwe Boll? Maybe instead of making infantile bets he should be, you know, working on making a good game.

Posted by Syrionus - Monday, June 30, 2008 5:35 PM
Almost positive that this is not a shooter. Yep, just looked, it's still an Action RPG.

Posted by Tasomo - Tuesday, August 19, 2008 6:59 PM
Well, given that Dyack's banned from NeoGAF I think it's pretty safe to say no one's going to be changing names.
