Brutal Legend......F@#$ING AWESOME

[SargeantGunlock]

I've been following the production of this game since it was announced in 06 and I gotta say Its every thing I love rolled up in to a nice Game I mean look at it A sprawling world based on the art work of Heavy Metal Albums an Awesome cast and it look like its going to be fun to play any way thought...?

When I first heard about it in '06 I was somewhat excited. I forgot about it until E3 this year. I may rent it or extensively research it when it comes out before buying it...

Are we supposed to be discussing our opinions/predictions of how the game will be? If so, I think it'll be awesome seeing as how it's based around heavy metal and is being made by Tim Schafer. Can't really go wrong there.

Dude, no offense, but punctuation is your friend. Use it and you will be much rewarded in life.

On-topic, however, I completely agree: Brutal Legend is going to be absolutely amazing. Jack Black is an incredible voice acting choice, especially for a heavy metal story, and the setting just screams instaorgasm. It's going to be ridiculous in the best way possible. And, I mean, Tim Schafer at the head? If Psychonauts, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango have taught us anything, it's that this man is a genius of the highest caliber.

I simply can't wait.

GRAMMAR RULES!

Anyway... Yeah, it does look like one awesome game but *ah* only one problem... NO PC VERSION!!! *sobs and runs into the nearest corner* Tim is saying that the game is a console game, but I see no reason why it cannot be ported. I mean, if control is an issue, then just simply add an Xbox 360 controller as a requirement for playing the game. Not only that, but Psychonauts is a PC game as well, so why is he skimping out on us now, specially for something so awesome?

It's gonna be pretty kickass. I remember watching an interview with Tim Schafer and he mentioned something about a giant mechanical eagle. Hell yeah! Judas Priest's "Screaming For Vengeance" cover. Plus Rob Halford and Ozzy are in it and that is unbelievably badass.

I am going to buy it regardless, but from the clips ive seen dosent it seem a little repetative in the action-y parts?

 

[Hazy]

Agreed.
Saw the 16 minute commentary, and it looks funny as hell.

 

[sneakypenguin]

The previews i've read for it have been a resounding meh, masked in hopefullness.

Here's is a 16 minute walkthrough by Schaffer of the first part of the game: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/tim-schafer-brutal-legend/52371

It looks really nice. There's some nitpicks, like some awkward animation, but the design is great and so is the voice work. The combat looks pretty basic and floaty, but it's not a action-only game, so I can forgive that.

You know who makes the call on whether this game will have a PC port? The publisher does. It's up to them to front the cash for it (or not.) So if you're going to complain, do it to EA.

Looks like a good game, but...

Dio isn't voiced by Dio? What the-?

 

[Booze Zombie]

I looked at it, briefly.

Meh.

 

[Xyphon]

I read that this game's development was dropped. "

 

[rabidmidget]

I read that this game's development was dropped. "

that was ages ago, it was dropped when the publisher merged with activision, but it was then picked by EA despite activision complaining that EA needed to buy the rights off them even though they dropped the development

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I read about it in GI and i'm interested but i'm going to follow the Yahtzee protocol for new releases a little on this one. Excited but not to excited.
