Game designer Tim Schafer has one of the worst jobs in the world: He has to live up to his own reputation. Often lauded as the critical darling underdog of the console world, the man has the portfolio of near legendary PC adventure games behind him. Inevitably, as most PC developers do, migration to home consoles is just about necessary to stay viable. And sometimes that migration doesn't treat the PC-centric folks very well. It could be argued that it hasn't treated Schafer very well either. Psychonauts, an action/adventure/platformer on the last generation of consoles, was generally well received but lacked solid sales figures.
The heavy metal-inspired world of Brütal Legend oozes with inspiration and potential. Here’s why Brutal Legend deserves a sequel to help realize it.
These games don't get no respect! No respect! Each one of these five is secretly a fantastic title.
Dragon Age 2 was never a bad game but compared to Dragon Age Origins it was painfully clear that they didn't try that hard. Final Fantasy 13 and it's subsequent sequels will always be crap.
Wreckfest is an undersold game, it's absolutely brilliant and more pure fun and craziness than any game on that list.
I really enjoyed all these. I have no qualms with any Dragon Age game. My ONLY problem with DA 2 was how the story just kinda drops and becomes aimless. I was having a blast then... okay... what?
Brütal Legend launched 10 years ago on 13th October 2009. For the anniversary of the game’s release, here’s a list of things I’d love to one day see in a sequel for next-generation consoles.
