"Brutal Legend has finally escaped gaming purgatory thanks to Electronic Arts. So how did Tim Schafer and company celebrate? Why, by releasing a new trailer.
Brutal Legend joins a slew of other trailers debuting at the Spike Video Game Awards, but it sets itself apart once Rock God aspirant Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black) starts commenting on how "weirdly sexy" one of the demonic bosses is. Yes, it seems that Tim Schafer's trademark sense of humor is alive and well.
So take a deep breath, then check out the video and see what you think of the new trailer. After everything that's happened the past few months, you've earned it."
Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
The world of Brutal Legend looks like something a 14 year-old metal head would draw on their notebook while not paying attention.
Liked the aesthetic, tone, humor, and action combat.
Didn't care for the RTS elements.
Never cared to finish it.
PS360 gen was special, then again it was still the mid 2000s. Everything went to shite in the teens
I think that was the breaker for Doublefine's creative ambitions and their mixing of genres (which was getting kinda stale). It was a nice to look at but it was more of a tribute to the many things Tim loves, was influenced by and has great admiration for....but the forced RTS stuff was like a drinking buddy's "great idea" that never should have come to light. The game seemed a lot more vast, but it ended pretty quickly too. And Jack Black. As much as I don't care for him as an actor (annoying and requires constant attention), this was absolutely made with him in mind and it worked. I mean come on, Tenacious D? For as Metal as this game was trying to be, even comically, it did little more than meow.
That was great! Thank you EA for making it possible for poor Mr Shaefer to release what is sure to be an incredibly fun game. Man, if EA keeps this up I may have to start respecting them... wtf!?
Its about time, I want to play it now.
