Schafer Explains Move From Brutal Legend to Sesame Street

[Fuselage]

THIS. IS. AWESOME!!!!
*Ahem* Yes, I will buy this game because Sesame Street is good.

 

[Andy of Comix Inc]

You're watching this, and you're thinking, oh okay, you're teaching kids to count.


Then you get to, "count with me. One." And you realize it's a skit. Meta within meta. Clever beyond compare, certainly too clever for just some kid's show.

Seaseme Street is, and still is, a surprising breath of fresh air in kid's programming, and I'm sure Schafer and his team can capture the aimed-at-kids-but-taking-the-piss vibe more than expertly.

 

[Bujiraso]

Adding to the numbers above - with Double Fine behind this, I'm definitely not against buying this.

Also,

Does this mean there will finally be an EC rated game that doesn't bore 3 year olds and adults alike? [sub]Seriously, have any of you guys ever played an EC rated game? They're usually the shovelware to end all shovelware.[/sub]

a sympathetic "lol" to you.

 

[fundayz]

As long as Sesame Street keeps making fun of Fox News i'm all for it.

Not what i expected... I was kinda hopeing for brutal legend 2

Are we the only 2 sane people in the world?In fact I heard they cancelled making Brutal Legend 2

From what I heard, it wasn't their choice. EA didn't see a future in it so they pulled the plug. I want to see it too. not because I'm a metalhead, that's my brother, I loved the concept of being in an RTS where you aren't an omnipotent jackhat sipping coffee and sending soldiers to their doom. I hope Schafer will be able to bring some humor to this game.

So good!Its just EA's fault!So where should my tactical nuke go again

How could they not see a future? There was a cliff hanger with Ophelias Black Tear incident,Eddies parents,they could,ve made the metal fire beast a summonable creature!Brutal Legend could've been a hit!If Starcraft could do it Brutal Legend can do it 5x better!Two words. Missed oppurtunity.

AND ANOTHER THING.Speaking of Eddie's parents his mom was a witch.What if she had an army you ask?A NEW TEAM!

First of all, *SPOILER WARNING* second,

There was no cliffhanger with Ophelia, she just cried a black tear to leave the ending ambivulent. The "metal fire beast" was Ormagoden, basically god. Starcraft has 12 times the popularity of Brutal Legend, it'd be lucky to be 1/4th as popular. Eddie's mother wasn't a witch, she was a demon, and both of his parents are long dead. Finally, if there's going to be any new team, it'd be Lionwhyte, Fleetus, or even a Nu metal one.

Im dissapointed that it isn't Brutal Legend 2, I won't buy this, but I'm confident it will be a good game. Which in turn will make them money and allow them to make Brutal Legend 2, huzzah!

Yeah cause doublefine is famous for contributing to the endless stream of sequels.
Don't hold your breath.

I'd just like to see a continuation of the story, or even a prequel with eddies father leading the original up rising, I know there isn't much chance, but I'd like to remain hopeful at the very least

 

[Semudara]

So many people clamoring for a Brutal Legend sequel-- but not a Psychonauts sequel? I am disappointed in you all.

Anywho, I agree with the above that DoubleFine can pull off a really good Sesame Street game, because they are creative and awesome. I would honestly buy it, if I had the system.

 

[gibboss28]

huh...interesting

 

[DaxStrife]

Let him make any game he wants, I say... I just want Brutal Legend to get to the PC some day.

Even though Ormagoden was god dosent mean hes un-getable!*snorts
and is THAT why Ophelia cried kinda misleading
and Lionwhyte died halfway through
I geuss you were right about Starcraft but it was mostly just an example because I dont know any RTS's

We never saw Lionwhyte's body after, nor did we see him get impaled, the view was obstructed by another piece of glass. and when you talk to an NPC after:

Eddie: "Good thing Lionwhye's dead, huh?
Razor Girl: "You SAW his body?"

implying that He could come back. Also, Ormagoden died. That's how Metal, water, earth and music was made. When Ormagoden got Eddie, that was just the result of the spell casted on his belt buckle. It wasn't really him, just a magic avatar.

I'm so excited to get this for my niece, this sounds like a freaking holo-deck for kids, I know she'll love it!

 

[silent-treatment]

I loved Psychonaughts, but am I the only one who is a little afraid for Double Fine? I mean they basically went from a pure epicness, original IP that did not sell well (and I am also guilty of this, I only played because of the most epic Midweek madness of all time) to Jack Black's Jack Black game featuring Jack Black and now a licensed game. I really hope that DF will just get free rein one of these days.

 

[Sad Face]

I'd play this.

I honestly haven't played a Double Fine game yet that I didn't like.

Your quite the detective hats off to your good observations
Well couldnt that "magic avatar" still be usefull because it roasted 3 wussburgers in the opening or was that a "one time only" spell. Then again Eddies blood would have to be drawn every time Ormagodens "magic avatar" would come out.

The Belt Buckle was created for one thing, to take the user back in time to the age of metal. it has no use if it's already in the era of it's creation. it's basically just for style.

Now your just being a dream crusher. You have farted on every last bit of hope of there being a sequel to Brutal Legend
...

Bravo good sir.

No, there's always a possibility for a sequel. Just because I proved you wrong about a trinket in the game doesn't mean that Fleetus or Lionwhyte can come back for revenge, or that Nu metal can rear it's ugly head into the fray.

Tim Schafer is backing Sesame Street game, and developing it. You know it's going to be a good game, why? Because Tim Schafer isn't about just making some crapy game, he's about creating a work of art, whether it be a metal based RTS, a game about Psychic kids, a game that has Skeletons (that's all I know of Grim Fandago...sorry), or a dancing Kinect game starting Big Bird and Elmo.

Also, at least the dialog will be family based, not just kiddie based, so a well written game should be created w/ this
