The internet reacted violently to the news that the new Ghostbusters game was no longer in development, due to its absence on Activision Blizzard's release list. "It is not canceled and it will not be canceled", says Sierra PR.
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.
Yeah they marketed the game like it was a Heavy Metal GTA-ish adventure. And at the beginning of the game that's what it was. The game fell apart when the half-baked RTS stuff came in. I'd be interested in a reboot or sequel, but just go full action adventure and ditch the RTS. There really is something there with the Heavy Metal theme.
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.
how is Ghostbusters cancelled if they showed the product recently? its too late to do that now. Brutal Legend on the other hand...
They better not cancel Brutal Legend! the game was looking to be awesome!
If activision cancels those games, ill be pissed!
Ghostbusters isn't cancelled, way would they cancel it after spending money on advertising it
I hope Brutal Legend isn't cancelled because it looks sick.

obviously not cancelled
is that the game is definately delayed, the time it will take to find a publisher and choose and accept offers not to mention the contracts being drawn up will take to long and delay the game at least a month or two and may even push it to 2009.
the game is really good looking though, so a publisher may step up to the plate and get a deal drawn up quickly enough.
