by Xav de Matos { Aug 19th 2008 at 7:00PM }

During the Too Human launch signing in St. Catharines, Ontario, Denis Dyack took a few minutes to answer some of our questions. While reserved, Dyack did speak fondly of the community Silicon Knights represents, the success of the demo and misunderstandings within the media.

Surrounded by fans awaiting a signature from the Silicon Knights development team, Dyack brushed off our questions regarding the recent reviews of Too Human, message board communities and the future of both the franchise and the studio's next announcement.

Is it me or does Dyack come off as a dick in that interview? Answer after answer was pretty much, "stfu, I'm not talking about that".

After all, he brought all of this shit upon himself... he should at least talk a [tiny] bit about it.

He's been getting shit about it for a decade now. I'm pretty sure he's really tired of it, and just wants the game to be released so they can move on. It may not have gotten the best reviews, but they did accomplish a lot to get where they are at. Perhaps they'll be like most other 360 games and get a patch to fix some of the problems, such as the framerate and camera system. Unfortunately, I'm sure everyone wished they had taken the time to fix this beforehand. It's like they dropped the ball inbetween Eternal Darkness and the 360 version of Too Human. Blaming it on Epic Games won't do you any good when the gamer base turns against you.

Denis was a great sport and a classy gentleman.

I know this must be a problem just for me, but where is the interview? There's a grayed out box/picture icon that's not changing regardless of how many times I refresh the page. If it's a link, any one have the url? Or is it a video?

Sorry for the trouble.

RockerAnimeFreak @ Aug 19th 2008 9:43PM

I second that. I am having problems as well. =( don't know whats causing it because flash works fine.

Xav de Matos @ Aug 19th 2008 9:51PM

Hey guys.
Sorry if you're having issues. I've added the MP3 so you can directly download the file.

Tomorrow it should show up in our iTunes and RSS feed as well!

Nevermind the interview is an mp3 on the bottom of the box with the x.

diplomatshomie @ Aug 19th 2008 9:25PM

Deezul @ Aug 19th 2008 10:20PM

Oh look, another day, another 2 stories on Too Human. I think if this was GoW2 coverage, even Dustin would say "Let up..."

Kizzle @ Aug 19th 2008 11:29PM

I'm done listening to this 'tard. If he's happy burying himself further, more power to him.

emirabal @ Aug 19th 2008 11:51PM

Whose Dennis DYack

haukke @ Aug 20th 2008 12:17AM

his feelings were probably the same as mine.the game could have been 10 times better then gears and it still would have gotten the reviews it did.i liked the demo and bought the game.the reviews were probably written a year ago and from what i read from the reviews they all went into this game hating it already.it is like alone in the dark it is broken but there is still fun to be had.alan wake will suffer the same fate.

What was the point of this interview? All I got from it was "no comment, no comment, no comment."

Anticrawl @ Aug 20th 2008 12:30AM

The first hour or so I was starting to regret my purchase, but after a while I really got into it. It's better than your average 360 game, but then again there are some pretty awful ones out there. I had to buy it regardless of the reviews because I've been waiting for it for so long, that and Shadowrun is an incredible game and look at the scores it got. Shadowrun has always been my fallback game when I got bored of the new releases. Can't get enough of it.
