Update: Embedded the new Too Human co-op trailer above.

The unthinkable and the unimaginable has actually come true. Microsoft and Silicon Knights have settled on a Too Human release date and we've also confirmed that pigs can indeed fly.

Microsoft just announced that the ever so delayed Too Human will storm North America retailers this August 19th. And that's a guarantee! It was also revealed that Too Human will feature two player Xbox Live co-op gaming all the way through the entire campaign. So, enjoy the newly released screenshots below and the comforting knowledge that even though it had a rocky road into existence, we'll finally be able to experience Too Human this August. Joy!

Hmm, I thought this was supposed to be 4 player co-op. What with all the different classes and all. But no mention of that. :(

Jesse @ May 13th 2008 12:28PM

Yeah I thought the point was 4 player co-op. They have been repeating that for 2 years.

Tony @ May 13th 2008 12:30PM

It sounds like they dropped it... The fact sheet just says:

"Conquer the world of “Too Human” alone or with friends in advanced, online two-player co-op gameplay through the Xbox LIVE service. Online co-op play requires Xbox LIVE Gold Membership."

Truly assy. Why do some many games get the co-op cut back? There really aren't many 4 player co-op games out there and I was looking forward to Too Human for this reason alone.

How about local co-op? I know this is the future and all, but I do in fact still have people physically in my home. I know, I know, I'm soooo old school.

ZEBRA NINER @ May 13th 2008 4:18PM

You are old school... go play Rampage for your NES! ;) Actually, they should release that on Arcade.

Looks cool, I hope it's not too RPG-y. I don't want to spend hours learning spells and armors and weapons. I just want to spend hours killing things. They should have a button to optimize whatever equipment you collected.

Where is System Link? Can't be too hard to do and easily beats playing on Live.

Richard Mitchell @ May 13th 2008 2:11PM

So, a Diablo clone that only supports 2 players? WTF.

john paul @ May 13th 2008 2:54PM

This game's combat isnt really peaking my interest, but this story looks "badass"(damn this word got clichéd).
It kind of balances out with ninja gaiden :P

ShockMister @ May 13th 2008 4:18PM

i was planing on getting this just for its 4 player co op

not saying i wont get it just because its 2 player but im less sure now

i may wait for it to become second hand so i can save a few quid :)

Honestly it's not that surprising. Think of the toll it would take on the 360's GPU to run that. The game looks great already and with multiple enemies on screen. I think it could be very difficult for them to run it with 4 players on screen. Maybe it's not impossible but it would delay the game even further to add that. I'm fine with 2 players as long as it releases sooner then later.

YES
i didnt see this post before i commented before!!
this made my day even more then before!!
i love you guys

StevenRafael @ May 13th 2008 6:53PM

So I assume this isn't going to have split screen co-op either?

"It was also revealed that Too Human will feature two player Xbox Live co-op gaming all the way through the entire campaign. "

Man, I've only got one buddy at the moment with a 360. Everyone else is still sporting last gen tech.

Brandon R @ May 31st 2008 2:30AM

I think it is silly as well. I have two 360s, and it sucks I can't even do that, much less be in the same room as someone else. I hate multi-player games over the internet, especially IN MY OWN HOUSE!

On a separate note, which games *do* support some sort of System-Link play, if anyone knows?
