[B5C]

Valkyries in thong bikinis with electric guitars descend from on high to herald the announcement that Tim Schafer's Brütal Legend will be published by EA next fall.

I have heard about this game, and look forward to playing it. The setting is really unique, but I don't know much about the gameplay.

 

[BloodyPuppy]

E... A?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ah well, it's still probably going to be awesome.

 

[M-26-7]

The keyword is published.

 

[BloodyPuppy]

The keyword is published.

I know, I just feel obligated to have that reaction every time they're mentioned. I'm sure the game will be awesome.

Don't feel bad, you're not the only one to cringe every time those initials pop up.

 

[PlanHex]

The real question regarding this EA publisher deal is whether or not a possible PC port would have all that retarded DRM like MAss Effect and Spore.
I guess we'll wait and see.

I`m starting to hate EA less than in the past. I mean, Dead Space and Mirrors Edge, at least they tried to bring some freshness. Okay, if they pull up Dead Space 2 and Mirrors Edge 2 after that....

ME is already meant to be a triology.

Same guy who did Grim Fandango? I'm in.

 

[Ravager69]

Nah, it is plainly sexist.

 

[Mad Max RW]

It looks kinda terrible, actually.

 

[Multidirectional]

Whatever game Tim Schafer makes, I want to play it. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts was enough to convince me that man is a genius. I just hope Brutal Legend makes it's way to PC.

 

[TorontoReign]

No one mentioned Jack Black is doing the lead guys voice. Tenacious D!!!

 

[BloodyPuppy]

The gameplay looks iffy, but the story and art style, and voice acting are awesome.

 

[B5C]

No one mentioned Jack Black is doing the lead guys voice. Tenacious D!!!

Also note that Lemmy from Motorhead, Rob Halford from Judas Priest, and Dio are voice acting in the game too.

I just hope Brutal Legend makes it's way to PC.

As of now it's only 360 and PS3.

Ruined by draconian DRM.

Ahh! the EA of the golden years is fully dead now.

 

[Stag]

I just hope this game doesn't have shitty music in i-oh wait, it has Dio. Fuck.

I'm kind of sick of Jack Black, man. I mean, I loved him on Mr. Show and the Tenacious D show and I love Tenacious D, but fuck, man, Kung-Fu Panda?

You got to have Dio if you want to Satirize Metal Music
