Brutal Legend

[jim_doki]

ok kids, this is how you make "win"

take one heavy metal universe designed by god himself Tim Sheiffer
add a voice cast of relatable metal personalities like Jack Black and Motherf**king Lemmy
shake well with a rediculous storyline about a "Metal Universe"
add RPG elements liberally
Bake for a few months

There you have Brutal Legend

Moment it is on the PC I'll get my first grey ha-.. I mean it will be awesome.

Now all I want is a psychedelic game featuring David Bowie and I can die a happy man.

I think this will be another awesome game by Tim Schafer (just as funny, innovative, and charming as Pychonauts was, but this time it will actually sell because it appeals to the larger numbers of retarded mongoloid gamers, like casual ones, because the'll think it'll be a game by Harmonix who made guatar hero, those stupid beer drinking asshats, only to find out that they wasted 60$ dollars American on a game they have no interest in, those fuckin teenage idiots. Bottom line: It will be awesome, but it may suffer from pychonauts sydrome, in which it does'nt sell.

I dunno, I think a whole bunch of metalheads are those types of gamers you're scorning. They'll buy it and love the references, the metal atmosphere, the music and the action.

Thats find with me squid head (I'm calling you by your post picture Saskwatch).

The Great Cthulhu will make you pay for that.

Or, they may buy the game, find that there's more to gaming than Guitar Hero and discover Tim Schafer, the lucky devils. If only I could go back and play all the games for the first time again...

Brutal Legend better be awesome. If it isn't, i will gouge Mr. Schafer's eyes right out and stick them in his nostrils.

Despite owning an Xbox copy of Psychonauts for, oh, say 18 months now, I've still not played it. I guess I'm missing out somewhat. Despite that, I'm still so looking forward to Brutal Legend. It sounds and looks outstanding.

 

[Insane Serini]

I will probably buy this because:
A. There's Dio.
B. There's Dio.
C. There's Lemmy.
D. There's Lemmy.
E. IT'S MOTHERF***IN' LEMMY AND DIO!

Also Tim Schafer is amazing. I loved Psychonauts with a passion. Please, let this be good.

All I can say is that if it doesn't have an Epic Battle set to Holy Wars or a saving-from-the-gallows scene set to Hallowed Be Thy Name, I'll be severely disappointed. But then, I'll be even more dissapointed if there is no Iron Maiden and Megadeth.

I would be disappointed if there will be no Madonna music in the game. But in regards to Maiden it all comes down to licencing.

Why would anyone be disappointed if there was less Madonna music in the world? And since when has Maiden or Megadeth been a problem with Licensing?

No idea if it ever had. But Double Fine doesnt have unlimited amounts of cash in their budget.

Imagine running around killing things to the sweet sweet tones of Hung up or Like a Prayer? Bliss i say.

 

[sammyfreak]

Yeah, i guess you are right. And heck! Maiden are pretty decent for being a metal band.

 

[Strafe Mcgee]

Fans of RTS's

What? I thought it was just an action adventure. Does it have strategy elements as well?

 

[sammyfreak]

Yeah, i guess you are right. And heck! Maiden are pretty decent for being a metal band.

And what the hell is that supposed to mean? Maiden are fucking Gods.

But I digress. This is not about Metal vs. Shitty Pop music.

This game is looking to attract the following people

Fans of Metal
Fans of Jack Black
Fans of Psychonauts
Fans of Guitar Hero
Fans of RTS's
Fans of God Of War

Is there anyone, anywhere, who does not fit into one of the aboves?

Where did you get the Guitar Hero/RTS's ideas from? I havent managed to find anything about gameplay.

As long as it is easier then the final level of Psychonauts i am completely fine with any gameplay design choice what so ever.

People with no soul, that's who.
And yes, the game seems to have some strategy elements but I'd guess they're more along the lines of a simpler Kingdom Under Fire thang. Console action strategy.

Jack Black may be a bit of a sellout from time to time, but in a heavy metal themed Game, i cannot imagine a better lead voice.

Seriously? How about a man who epitomises metal at his very core, say, Dave Mustaine?

I'm not saying yes or no but I'm wondering, does Dave Mustaine have experience in comedy?
In b4 "does Jack?"

Someone likes their metal. Did you go and see maiden when they toured Australia?

Wait you are Australian are you?

Tim Schaefer could shit in a box and send it out and I would pay money for it. This game will ROCK . . . literally. ^_^ Now if only more people had played Psychonauts . . .

 

[Lord Krunk]

Please, it's Tim Schafer. Of course it's going to be EXCELLENT!

And sorry for posting a thread that apparently already existed.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Speaking of Tim Schaffuer(forgive spelling) Does anyone here think that if this game is a dud in the marketplace that Double Fine will go out of Business(Like Interplay and Troika(again forgive spelling)?

Maybe. Hopefully BL will sell better than Psychonauts through better exposure (like a cover story on Game Informer), and hopefully just cuz it's an awesome game as well.

I wonder if Double Fine is making money from Psychonauts downloaded from X-Box Live?

 

[sammyfreak]

I actualy heard that Psychonauts ended up turning a profit, but it might be a happy illusion.
