Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Dyack has said that he no longer believes gamers want to play hugely long epic games.
“Legacy of Kain had about sixty hours of play, but games have changed,” said Dyack. “People don’t want that any more. I don’t care how good the game is I don’t want to play something that’s one hundred hours long.“
Dyack, speaking of the planned Too Human trilogy, goes on to say: “If we’re going to craft an epic story we decided we had to divide it into manageable chunks for the consumer. At the same time we wanted to do a game that it has a chance to evolve and take advantage of development changes.“
Although planned as a trilogy, Dyack also revealed that each of the game will be accessible to newcomers.
“Too Human will be self-contained across each game of the trilogy. There’ll be more background for those that play all three,” said Dyack. “We’ve got a lot of things to say in Too Human and we couldn’t do it in anything shorter than three games.“
Moving the topic away from Too Human and towards the industry in general, Dyack had some strong thoughts on the future of gaming.
“I think there are too many games. The market is over-saturated and there’s too many consoles. I think we’ll eventually migrate to just one console. It’s inevitable. I love all three home consoles, but as a person who creates games I wish there was just one console,” he concluded.
Too Human is expected for release on Xbox 360 later this year.
