Too Human (Almost) Dated

Denis Dyack confirms it won't be out this year, but you won't have to wait until 2009 either.

When Xbox 360 game Too Human got a scathing reception at E3 in 2006, Denis Dyack, head of Silicon Knights and the man behind the long-in-development title, went on the rampage.

He called for an overhaul of the way games are shown before release, saying that creators should wait until their games were done before letting anyone play them.

Dyack has mostly kept to his own rules, showing little of Too Human over the past year. Some fans of the company are now starting to lose faith. But when one poster on a fan forum asked whether anyone else was losing patience, Dyack stepped in to provide a few soft facts.

A release anytime this year is not going to happen, but neither is a delay to 2009.

"Too Human will be out in 2008," Dyack wrote on the TooHuman.net forum. "A firm date with tons of new info is coming soon."

And while Dyack has been critical of letting those in the games media get their hands on incomplete games, giving out controlled tastes appears to be more palatable.

Dyack said that after giving out release details, Silicon Knights would have a playable demo that "will speak for itself".

Too Human has been a decade in the making, meaning an extra few months shouldn't make too much of a difference. For those early boosters of the game now questioning their allegiance, Dyack has a short message:

"Hang in there."
