It won't be four identical Baldur's in co-op though, unless you've all made exactly the same decisions in terms of armour, weaponry and downloadable furry tails.

I like the thing about players can combine their attacks into 1 big combo and such. I was wondering if that would be in it, and it is confirmed, which I can't wait.
Imagine all the "battle cry" attacks...gonna be crazy.
I hope the demo have online support as well when it gets released.

Well, not the whole presentation, but a pretty significant chunk of the playthrough with Denis doing some voice over.
Trust me, people can say what they want about IGN, but one of the reasons they were selected to do the preview was their capability to create and edit together some nice HD footage and videos. IGN has plenty to work with, and they're going to be taking care of you well in the next week.

If it is boring, get out? That is what people do when something don't interest them.

Well it is 1 in the morning here...Sunday, meaning no info.
But from Monday...let the waiting begin.

More Hanner Input
The preview level that you've seen so far only gives you a basic glimpse of some enemies, and really just the "grunts." AI complaints are valid, but those aren't the only enemies that will be occupying the game.
When you see the full play through, you'll begin to notice a few more variations in those enemies that will dictate player strategy a bit, but these guys are not your tougher enemies.
It was played in God mode, by the way.

Hahaha.
Anyway...older build? Meaning same one we saw or the E3 one?

He means the build they played in March wasn't the up to date current build of the game. This one could have possibly been 1-2 months old, or older, I suppose.

I have high hopes for this game.


I actually think E3 06(?) has given Too Human a lot of good things.
The poor showing has shown they are listening to fans
The are taking criticisms well and implementing them
They're taking there time with the game
Epic.

Yeah the first picture looks awesome. I also like the part where Baldur is walking by in the hall way, and as he passes the Guards all kneel before him.
also, anyone notice the Free Look button in that controller layout pic? And the control spider with the D-Pad?

Yea that spider thing might be used for downloading stuff in cyberspace and then you have it crawl back into you and upload new abilities or weapon schematics.
Interesting.. played in god mode...
"you'll begin to notice a few more variations in those enemies that will dictate player strategy a bit, but these guys are not your tougher enemies."
Well I already knew those weren't the tougher enemies, but I'm still very happy to hear it and that it wasn't the most up to date build they had at the office even better :D
Yea I also believe E3 06 ultimately did a lot of good things for Too Human. I'm definitely gonna have to disagree with Denis' no previews thing now as while I'm not saying the fans are responsible for how the game will turn out by any means I think the feedback has been valuable.
Well in the norse mythology he was invincible against everything except one thing which I wont mention, but in a nutshell the gods in norse mythology weren't really gods in the greek sense where they were immortal they were all well capable of being killed and they knew they could be killed or that they'd one day die, but I guess the message denis is trying to send with this game is the TRUE origins of norse mythology or SK's vision of it. They're viewed as gods because of their cybernetic enhancements that make them able to do things beyond a normal human. Baldur is the less cybernetically enhanced of all the gods, but is still so amazing and is sorta looked up to by the normal humans as someone they can relate with.

Uh, so my opinion.
I think graphics look great, very cinematic, story looks great.
I also think gameplay is not impressing me at all so far.
My hype? Super-low.
