Too Human makes spiders friendly again

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 2nd 2008 at 1:30PM }

Let's face it, spiders are scary. They're creepy, crawly, sometimes hairy, and they are positively loaded with legs. And eyes. They also make webs and have nasty pincer mouths. Nobody likes spiders. Anyone who claims to like spiders is lying. They would be lying ... unless of course they were talking about the awesome robot spiders in Too Human! Yes, we've been hit with yet another video featuring Silicon Knights head Dennis Dyack extolling the many virtues of Too Human. This time it's about spiders, helpful little robots that can be summoned to your aid when crawling the cyber-Norse dungeons of Too Human. They can help you juggle foes, destroy incoming missiles, and oh so much more. Watch the video above and sleep well knowing that not all spiders are evil.

Spiders with lasers = sweet

A spider with laser missle deffense system? That doesn't sound very reassuring. Especially when said system only works 1 out of 6 times in the most perfect of conditions.

I really dug my henchmen in Diablo II so I am glad they will replicate that feeling with the spiders.

Nice!!!

Firstly, I agree with #1 wholeheartedly.
Secondly, WTF is up with that video? Way too dark to see anything properly (I watched the SD one).
Thirdly, I want my own robot spider.
Fourthly, anyone remember that film with Tom Selleck in with the robot spiders (amongst other things)? He was a cop I think.
