Brütal Legend

[HappyPalooza]

Official Website (http://www.brutallegendgame.com/splash/)

Jack Black stars in "Brutal Legend", a new game by Tim Schafer, creator of "Monkey Island", "Grim Fandango", and "Psychonauts". A roadie named Eddie Riggs, played by Black, is setting up for a show when he gets injured and starts to bleed. The blood gets on his cursed belt buckle, which takes him into an alternate dimension in the past where demons rule the human race.

It'll also star Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy (bass guitarist/vocalist for Motörhead), and Rob Halford (vocalist for Judas Priest).

The soundtrack is set to include brand new music by Zakk Wylde, Tim Skold, Wolfmother, Judas Priest, and Ronnie James Dio, with extended guitar solos by Judas Priest guitarists K. K. Downing and Glenn Tipton. Tim Schafers' long term collaborator Peter McConnell is also involved in the soundtrack.

HD Teaser (http://www.gamevideos.com/video/watch?video=15850&largeFormat=wmv)

"Brutal Legend" will come out sometime in 2008 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

So, anyone else think this'll be pretty awesome? I mean, you go around chopping demons in half and doing guitar solos that literally melt faces off! Looks promising.

[BAN ME PLEASE]

Hell ya. This guy has such a great such of humor and I've always imagined a game where you can kill people with guitar riffs. It looks like the perfect insane type of game that only Tim Schafer can come up with, and if Psyconauts taught us anything, this game will be great.

[I_Smell]

Oh my god this game will rock my balls off.

[peteaboda1]

Oh my god this game will rock my balls off.

Second.

I heard about this a few months ago from a friend, when I heard about literally melting faces off I was sold.

[I Lick Vaginas]

It was only officially announced about a month ago you liar :mad:

Anyway, I've decided Schafer is my future husband. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts are my all-time favourite games, so I've pretty much been orgasming since I heard about this game. Schafer really is a comedic genius (check out doublefine's (http://www.doublefine.com/) blog thingy), and as far as gameplay goes you can melt peoples faces.

[peteaboda1]

It was only officially announced about a month ago you liar :mad:

:pop:

Well it has felt like months to me :wail:.

[Ziggy St. Valentine]

This will surely be one of the most awesome games of all time. Lemmy is in it for fucks sake!

[Shmuh]

I can already tell that this game will fucking rule.

[TheLameSauce]

I heard about this game shortly after it was announced. It looks amazing. Unfortunately as I have no current gen systems, I'll only be able to play parts of it at friends' houses. :wail:

[Smooth B]

Hell yes. DIO :rock:

[Seriodor]

Yeah, its going to be Amazing. It's gonna have alot of great bands making the tracks for it, and Eddy's gonna be voiced by Jack Black.

[Android]

This is a brilliant idea for a game, too bad I don't own any of the systems it is being made for.

[TheHighwaySong]

Anything with Jables is GOLD.

[Tempest]

I was reading about this game last night, and it looks really cool. I like how they're actually setting it in a past that is based around rock and roll, as though it were part of the world. There will be huge amps for cliffs and stuff like that. You can modify the car that you build, and recruit minion-types to battle with you. Instead of magic, you play his guitar, and it's like casting spells, which is a really cool feature.

[Demoir]

I hope that the song on the teaser will be on the game, Mob Rules is an amazing song.

Yeah, Ozzy's in it too, now.

[SODA]

When is it being released? That 2008 ETA seems to be a bit off.

[HappyPalooza]

October 13 for North America, the 16th for Europe.

[ZonariAn]

NO PC?? Blasphemy!!! Can anyone make out that black metal logo on the main character's shirt? It does seem oddly familiar but for all anyone knows it could be fake.

Anyways, I hope I have a fucking 360 by October.

[SourChicken]

I remember reading that his belt buckle is similar to the cover of the Bastards album by Motorhead.

Also, fuuuuuuuuck. I've had a boner for about a year over this game now.

[Metalhead636]

Christ, I forgot about this. I thought it was dead.


I will buy this game just for the soundtrack.

ROCKTOBER

[CnGy]

This looks like Diablo meets Guitar Hero.

I like it.

[ZonariAn]

This game does actually look fun. If the gameplay really is open-world like it says, then I'm in.

[Ziggy St. Valentine]

Should be awesome for a laugh. I'm up for it.

[Pachycephelosaurus]

Bump, for I have played the demo.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I was this impressed by a game. I looked in the mirror, and my face has literally melted off my head.

This game projects that whole "SHIT YEH! HEAVY METAL, MOTHERFUCKER!" vibe perfectly, and the humor is absolutely spot on. The characters and world are amazingly detailed and intricate, the fighting mechanics are fucking perfect (you can catch people on fire with power chords), and I can't remember ever laughing this hard at a game. Ever.

If the full game is ANYTHING like the demo, it's game of the year. Hands down. In the first fifteen minutes, I saw a giant metal demon roar a metalcore band's heads off, murdered druids on top of a gigantic pile of corpses, destroyed a building with a power chord, put a fucking awesome car together, then proceeded to run over abut four hundred bazillion bad guys in said car with a hot chick in the passenger seat.

Let me repeat that.

Holy fucking shit. I'm gonna puke.

[Pachycephelosaurus]

What's this doing in this forum?

[SourChicken]

Yeah what the hell

WAIT THE DEMO'S OUT FOR 360?

[Pachycephelosaurus]

The demo comes out next week unless you preordered the game, in which case you get it this week :smug:

oh my god its so fucking awesome

Edit: Here's the opening video. FUCK it's awesome. (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14210507/brutal-legend/videos/brutallegend_trl_kabbageboy_91709.html)

I am totally ready for this game.

EDIT: SOUNDTRACKHOLYSHIT
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCtal_Legend#Soundtrack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Br%C3%BCtal_Legend#Soundtrack)

Mother of fuck, I was reading this in class and came so hard it shot through my desk and into the hair of the girl in front of me, and I'm trying to, like, kinda stealthily get rid of it before she notices but I don't know if I can.

I hope they release this soundtrack on a multi-disk box set of some sort.

[lolguy]

This game will melt my dick off.

[Ziggy St. Valentine]

Holy fuck. This game keeps getting better and better! And the soundtrack is awesome, aside from the FEW shit bands (Children of Bodom etc).

[Oberlin]

This will certainly piss off the black man living in the apartment above me.

[Desssert]

It's a pretty fun demo, except at the very end of it I had absolutely no clue how to do something. You had to close a gate, meaning destroying these engine-shaped counterweights. Apparently you do and Earthshaker move and they fall down. Even though they aren't even touching the Earth, so they couldn't have been shaken. But whatever, no big deal.

Not a big metal fan, but it's got a pretty nice soundtrack to it. And it probably has the best menu I've seen.

[The Muffin Man]

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST.

I am blown away. The demo was the most fun I have had in a long time. God its like a sick twisted mixture of god of war, great music, and orgasm. God its so good. Go play the demo right fucking now. This definitely is a solid competitor to MW2. Damn, I am blown away.

[DoctorButt]

I'm not a fan of metal, but this looks like a really fun and funny game.

[Fruitality]

I do like a bit of metal and the soundtrack looks pretty cool, but even the trailer posted up somewhere made me laugh and it does look pretty kickass. I'll probably definitely get this.

[Kass]

FUUUUUCK
I'm going to have to by an xbawks for this.

[pure_hatred]

FUUUUUCK
I'm going to have to by an xbawks for this.

It's on PS3 too.

[Kass]

who the hell would buy a ps3 over an xbox360?

[Lag]

who the hell would buy a ps3 over an xbox360?

You'd buy both just to get it twice. Then buy it 3 or 4 more times.

[SourChicken]

Holy.
Tits.
Just played the demo for Xbox. Solid, simple controls, smooth gameplay, hilarious dialog. I think my favorite part is you can choose whether or not to have profanities (I chose no, because the beep sounds are funny). Jack Black does an awesome job, it's not his usual over-the-top self. Definitely getting this as soon as it comes out.

[Arthenon]

Played the demo, creamed myself, got pissed that it ended so short. Jack Black was surprising, not what I'd expect from him and beating the shit out god knows what with an axe is awesome. Soundtrack looks like it'll be with the game quite well. Definitely pick this up soon after it's released.

[SourChicken]

That beginning video with the "metal" band is hilarious.

[LandMarkMoon]

This is a brilliant idea for a game, too bad I don't own any of the systems it is being made for.

Hahahaha nice custom name though I doubt anyone will understand it. And yes the game will rock

[Teflon]

I plugged my modem into the xbox for the first time in months just to download the demo for this but I couldn't find it. Is it because I'm only a silver account member or did I just look under the wrong name? I'm also in Australia if that makes any difference.

[Tempest]

Wow I didn't realize this thread was made 2 years ago. I've been waiting for this game for a long time. I need to unpack my xbox tonight so I can play the demo.

[SourChicken]

IT IS SO FUCKING COOL

I don't know if it's open to the public yet. I got it early because I pre-ordered the game.

[Chocoholic]

Am I the only one who didn't find the demo all that great? I thought the combat was mediocre at best. It was just generic hack-and-slash with a long-range "magic" attack that overheats really fast.

I found some of the dialogue to be extremely stupid too. Some of it was just so forced and ridiculous that I actually sighed a couple of times and shook my head. As much as I wanted to like this game, it just wasn't as awesome as I was hoping it to be. I think the only reason I would ever play it would be to hear Tim Curry and see how they worked in all the metal influences. But I'd be bored as hell the entire game.

[Teflon]

I don't know if it's open to the public yet. I got it early because I pre-ordered the game.

Ah that's probably it, I'll try again in a week or so.

[bunglejunny]

It's definitely out.. it's on like the main page.

[Pachycephelosaurus]

Am I the only one who didn't find the demo all that great?

YES.

:mad::mad::mad:

The dialogue and such are supposed to be ridiculous. Have you played other Tim Schafer games? He's got a unique sense of humor.

[Gudizere]

Demo is only out in North America.

[Chocoholic]

YES.

:mad::mad::mad:

The dialogue and such are supposed to be ridiculous. Have you played other Tim Schafer games? He's got a unique sense of humor.

It wasn't the type of humor, it was the writing itself. It was BAD. Did anyone really think the "I'll show you what a french kiss is" part was funny? It was like a 10 year old wrote the script.

The whole rock/metal thing is interesting enough but the dialogue is just so bad. I've never been so ashamed of the things I've heard in a video game. I think I sighed more times in the demo then I did while playing Gears of War.

[I_Smell]

I saw the intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp7h7tTTPeY) and thought that was funny. Also I noticed everyone in this game has a really fuckin doofy running animation, which is fabulous.

[Blueblobb]

The demo is out in North America exclusive to Gold Members, it seems.

[Gudizere]

Demo is out in the rest of the world. And FUCK YEAH. Greatest demo ever. Fuck anyone who doesn't find it funny, I know it's 'your opinion' and all, but seriously, the game is like one big joke, treat it as one.

[Chocoholic]

If one big jokes let's dialogue this shitty pass, I fear for future games.

Now don't get me wrong, I love all the music jokes. The intro scene was actually funny. These types of scenes would be the only thing worth playing the game for. It was all the shitty one liners throughout the rest of the demo that were just bad.

"Don't tell me I've been slaying hot babes all this time!"

It's just stupid and predictable and unfunny.

Obviously you just have a different sense of humor. I actually chuckled at those one-liners. It's sort of like Army of Darkness, but less so. They KNEW they were being retarded. It's the self-awareness and irony that really make it funny. It's not a stand-up routine, it's a tribute/spoof of metal.

By the way, stop making broad generalizations. You didn't like the demo, but that doesn't mean the whole game is shit or that you need to "fear for future games." There are more cock-joke games than games like Brutal Legend.

I just didn't like the game in general. I found the gameplay to be OK at best and the jokes really killed what could have been an enjoyable plot. I ended up not knowing what I disliked more, the groan-inducing jokes or the generic hack-and-slash combat. Maybe it's just because I had such high hopes for this game. I was really expecting it to be an enjoyable spoof but ended up being disappointed in nearly every way possible.

[Gudizere]

I don't know what 'generic' hack n slash games you play, but its the first where I can set off a blast by playing a fucking power cord.

[I_Smell]

The rest of the game's humour probably is the same, and the combat does seem like every other 3D brawler ever. I mean come on, you keep smashin A alot to do one combo, and press X at the end to do the other combo; that's one step down from the heavy-attack light-attack thing every other beat-em-up uses. Y'all are defending the game in all the wrong places.

Actually the combat does change later on. You get to order a group of guys to stand still, defend or attack- pretty much like Overlord, and you can mount girls on your shoulders to do extra stuff. I don't know what that plays like, but puttin guys ontop of you looks kind of funny.

The one-liners are a bit like an outdated 80s action comedy. Personally I love stuff like that cos it sets a kind of atmosphere that I'm into, but I'm not really laughing at it. The stuff he says while he's riding the big metal spider thing is funny though.

I <3 this game, but yo I can see why other guys won't. That teaser they showed ages ago has a totally different atmosphere than the finished game.

[Blueblobb]

This game simply has to be approached in the right way. I found the game humorous, including the one liners strewn around. The entire game is really smooth actually; it's meant to be simple to play, comedic, and also to enjoy metal. The actual gameplay plays like Kingdom Under Fire as well, except you can feel like a bad ass when you melt the faces off of demons with your guitar.

I have this reserved and look forward to playing it with my Tenacious D guitar.

[Matterialize]

Downloading demo.

Wow I didn't realize this thread was made 2 years ago.

Whoa, holy shit.

[pini16893]

hey that looks like a pretty good game... when is it going to be out?

[Gudizere]

Rocktober 16th. That gives me just over 2 weeks to amass enough money.

Go away, faggot.

edit: Oh yeah, and I really liked the demo. It's got one of those "fuck yeah" tones that I love without taking itself all seriously, it's good fun.

[Tweek]

It sounds really gay.

[Raxo]

I played the demo and I came away knowing I would never play the full game.

The not take yourself seriously attitude and the music are my main reasons. The combat is okay but not enough to sell me this game.

[Poopymo]

Really enjoyed it, good fun in the demo but if the main gameplay isn't expanded upon a little it'll get tedious after a while.


I'll still buy it though just with slightly lower expectations than before.

[SourChicken]

EDIT:
Whoops wrong thread

If you don't like this game you are a dumbass

[Pachycephelosaurus]

For those complaining about the gameplay in the demo, that's not really what it'll mostly be like. You'll eventually command units and have them help you battle. I believe somebody compared it to Overlord, which is a great comparison.

[CheesePlease]

So I downloaded and played the demo yesterday and I was kind of surprised. I didn't expect it to be that great but it actually made me laugh a couple times. I'll probably buy the game because it seems like it could be an enjoyable way to kill a few hours.

[BmphP]

The actual gameplay was deecent. I'd probably need the full game to see if I like it not. I mean the gameplay is as simplistic as you can get. But the story and atmosphere are great.

I was laughing like the whole time.

[El Zilcho]

I knew nothing about this game or what it was about but I just played the demo yesterday.

It is now on my list of things to get ASAP.

[BanMe]

Great game from demo point of view. The chicks hot for a person that talks like there from ye olde times

[BmphP]

[Shmuh]

I just finished playing the demo. Right from the beginning when that demon thing BLEW THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS HEADS OFF, I KNEW I was going to have to buy this game. The whole demo was pretty fucking funny, and I enjoy the simple controls of X to use your axe (melee) and Square to use your guitar (magic). The dialogue's SUPPOSED to be really cheesy, so I don't know why you're complaining, Choco.

[Chocoholic]

The dialogue's SUPPOSED to be really cheesy, so I don't know why you're complaining, Choco.

I think it's more due to the fact that it never stops. It started out kinda funny but when you're getting a ridiculous one-liner every 10 seconds it gets old fast. Really fast. If he had shut up during combat I might have been able to tolerate it but you're still hearing stupid comments while you're fighting stuff.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the game's opening scene. I thought I'd really like it. But there wasn't much to enjoy once I actually started playing it.

Edit: I think I actually realized why the jokes bother me so much. They remind me of this kid in school who would never shut the fuck and would make the same kinds of one-liners about everything.

[HappyPalooza]

I can understand that, but that's all you have to say. You don't have to be a pain in the dick for two pages over difference in taste, goddamn dude.

[Chocoholic]

I'm a woman though. That's my job.

[Lag]

Frankly the fact you're a woman shows you have no real ruling over quality artwork such as this.

[BanMe]

The chick is hot, thougth id state my point again.:jerk:

[Iceshade]

I played the demo but wasn't amazed by it. It might be worth a rental but I doubt much more. Just wasn't THAT funny to me.

[Cyan]

I can honestly say that I laughed out loud at every joke in the demo.

[LandMarkMoon]

If you could honestly laugh out loud at half-assed jack black type jokes you need to go get your brain checked for tumors.

[Cyan]

You need to suck a dick, faggot.

[LandMarkMoon]

Speaking from experience? I'd rather not, faggot.

Anyway, I'm buying this game just because I got psychonauts on my first Xbox and that game rocked ass, that game was quirky and fucking awesome, hope the art is the same.

[BmphP]

9.0 from IGN.

Also anybody who didn't love the opening to this game is GAY!!!

[LandMarkMoon]

Haha, I totally thought those 'metal band' kids were going to go all Miley Cyrus on our asses midway, was a horrible moment.

[Pachycephelosaurus]

Good God this game is amazing. Picked it up today, and it's way too fun. The multiplayer takes a couple tries to get the hang of, but it's really solid.

[BanMe]

how does MP work?

[Pachycephelosaurus]

It's kind of like a more RTSey version of Overlord. Each team has a stage that they use to train units. The units all have different advantages and disadvantages, and each team has a super unit. You have to destroy the other team's stage in order to win.

It actually works really well. You control a "general" who can play guitar solos to add buffs and special moves, and you can also fly around the level. You have to capture geysers that shoot out fans by building merch booths over them. It's really fun once you get a feel for it.

[Pitabread]

I downloaded and played the demo and really enjoyed it. The controls were good (although I kept forgetting what to push for the axe, I kept thinking A was a jump button or whatever just from habit), the humor was good, and the sound/video was good. Even though I'm not much of a metalhead I did enjoy the soundtrack or what little of it was on the demo. I plan on buying it at some point, theres just other stuff I'd like to get first.

[Blueblobb]

Slowly playing through this game, I think it's really awesome. Just how you go about doing everything is great, and all the upgrades and everything you can do just fits in well. The game manages to retain a nice amount of humor throughout as well.

[troydtroy]

It's fucking awesome.

[Iceshade]

Does the combat progress more than just a standard attack button, an area of effect attack, and the electric guitar lightning or are they the only things you can do?

[Tempest]

I haven't fucked with multiplayer yet, but if it's anything like that one stage battle you do about 4 missions in, I'm not particularly interested.

[Darkminds]

Decent review here:
http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Review-Brutal-Legend-20408.html

[Blueblobb]

Multiplayer is a stage battle, yeah. Except this battle is with another actual person, and you're on one of three sides, each with different units and uses. The goal is to destroy the other stage, and the progression is pretty much capturing those merch shops one by one until you get so many fans you can upgrade all the way and get those epic units that take all of your units and "hero" to destroy. Fun stuff, but the unit management is a bit painful sometimes.

[Pachycephelosaurus]

I rather like the unit management now that I've gotten used to it.

My gamertag is Kurisu52

[LandMarkMoon]

I just completed this on Brutal difficulty. To anyone who hasn't picked this up yet, go do it, there is a GREAT sense of completion after finishing this game. If you do everything it should take a bit over 15-18 hours. The multiplayer to all those asking is very simple and yet entertaining.

I was riding a 60 foot mammoth into batter fuckers!

Oh and the tracks are SWEET.

The only time anybody gives two shits about Gamespot is when they're holding a contest, otherwise most people accept the fact that Gamespot has some of the shittiest reviewers ever. (Halo is rated 9.5, Monster Hunter has a 5.3 or something like that)

Picked up this game today after learning that Borderlands is sold out because for some fucking reason EB games thought it was a brilliant idea to only order 4 copies (durrhrr) and I'm really enjoying this game. I always liked Tim Schafer's work. Hopefully, this and Borderlands will tide me over 'til the next big release.

The only time anybody gives two shits about Gamespot is when they're holding a contest, otherwise most people accept the fact that Gamespot has some of the shittiest reviewers ever. (Halo is rated 9.5, Monster Hunter has a 5.3 or something like that)

Picked up this game today after learning that Borderlands is sold out because for some fucking reason EB games thought it was a brilliant idea to only order 4 copies (durrhrr) and I'm really enjoying this game. I always liked Tim Schafer's work. Hopefully, this and Borderlands will tide me over 'til the next big release.

Make sure to do ALL the side quests like I did, the rewards are awesome. Sometimes Call of the Wild summons will seem to downgrade, but eventually when you get the last one, IT FUCKING KICKS ASS.

DLC announced. (http://xboxlive.ign.com/articles/103/1039285p1.html)

It's nothing amazing so far, though. Just two maps and an axe.

Ozzy Osbourne is in this game. That would make it an automatic win in my books

I didn't really like the game that much, I mean it was a good game but I thought the direction it was taken in was bad. I was stupidly mislead by the demo into thinking it was an action game when really it was a RTS-ish game. It wasn't a bad game it had some good things to it but the repeatitive side missions and overall short game made me feel it could have been done better.

I throughly enjoyed the first few hours but after that it lost something. Somewhere between hearing "we're just marching around kicking ass" and "who we waiting for?" "bad guys wanna help?' it lost something on me.

I played the demo but wasn't amazed by it. It might be worth a rental but I doubt much more. Just wasn't THAT funny to me.
I feel the same way. It was alright, and I thought it was funny at times, but the simple controls got boring for me... I understand, and even appreciate, the idea of a guy as amazing as Jack Black making a video game, and it wasn't a complete failure, it could just be executed better.

I just got the game yesterday and I have to say It is a pretty good game so far. I had played the Demo on my brother's 360 because He has Live and I don't. I was hooked on the Demo and when I saw It in the store I bought it.
