X06: Too Human Vanishes

While Too Human makes a weekly appearance in blog form at blogs.IGN.com, Silicon Knights unfortunately did not show the first of its trilogy at this year's X06.

Too Human, a third-person action game steeped in RPG elements and Norse mythology, had a rough showing at E3, garnering criticism for its odd camera angles, poor framerate, and average, linear level design. Microsoft quietly mentioned Too Human in its press conference, and only when prompted did it admit the game was delayed until Q1-Q2 2007.

While a handful of first- and second-party titles were delayed -- Forza 2, Mass Effect (originally slated for "holiday"), and Crackdown -- only Too Human was completely missing.

Microsoft admitted these titles had un-realistic release dates at E3. Microsoft Game Studios General Manager Shane Kim explained that while it's true, a handful of titles did slip, he doesn't want to release a game before its ready. "I'd rather delay it and give it time then ship it early."
