Thrik Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Welcome to the darkest, most brutal LucasForums forum yet. This place is for discussion of Brutal Legend, the awesome metal-themed game from Tim Schafer; you may remember him from such releases as The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, and Psychonauts. For more information about Brutal Legend than could possibly be crammed into this sticky, head over to BRUTAL! The Legendary Fan Site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I like it. I can't wait till we actually get more info on the game, and we can actually start talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent_Katarn00 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 For some reason,i can't stop liking the color theme in this forum! It is mind-blowing. Wonder how the game is going to be itself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralPloKoon Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Wasn't this game dropped by Activision Blizzard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Although it's still yet to be officially confirmed, it does seem that way. See here: http://www.brutallegend.net/frequently-asked-questions/#publisher_problems Brutal Legend was originally being published by Sierra Entertainment, which was owned by Vivendi Games. In 2008, Vivendi Games and Activision — another publisher — merged to form a new company: Activision Blizzard. Sierra Entertainment thus became a subsidary of Activision Blizzard, and in the process a lot of games across the entire new company were shelved. All reports indicate that Brutal Legend was one of these games, and it’s not clear what exactly the situation is at the moment. An interview with Tim Schafer in August 2008 revealed that Brutal Legend development is continuing as normal, and that Double Fine may be actively re-pitching the game to new investors. It's worth bearing in mind that unlike a lot of the titles scrapped by Activision Blizzard, Double Fine fully own the rights to Brutal Legend. The publisher can only pull out; they can't actually cancel the game. It pays to never take anything for granted, but I'll be very surprised if Double Fine can't find a new partner. At the very worst, they've got services like Steam to fall back on. As a general FYI, development of the game is still ongoing and the official word from Schafer is that "Brutal Legend is fine".

GeneralPloKoon Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sadly, I haven't played any of Tim Schafer games, i've heard many good things, maybe i'll pick up Brutal Legend and Phsyconauts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If Jesus were a video game, it'd be Psychonauts Brutal Legend will be Paul or something.... Also, Thrik, you modding this place too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelda 41 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 New forum? Sweet. I call mod powers. =D I ,alas, can't get the game. Unless we fix my 360 of the red light of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still under warranty? If you are, just ring XBOX customer service, and send it in to them, they'll pay, and you'll get it back in 2 weeks, like me, and get probably 1 or 6 mnths of XBOX Live.

Ray Jones Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Excellent. I expect this game to be an all-of-the-best mixture between Full Throttle and Army of Darkness. In other words, 200% awesome. If it's coming out for PC, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother trying to get me not to. Say's he can fix it. All he'd need is "a towl, paper clips, and possibly a fire extinguisher". My mom wasn't very fond of his idea.....

Thrik Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Also, Thrik, you modding this place too? Sure am. And yeah zelda, I'd definitely get that sent off to Microsoft if I were you. Once it red rings there's not really much you can do about it; even if it starts working again, it'll most probably only be temporary. Most of the red rings are caused by the hardware in the console physically getting too hot and causing some of the stuff holding it together to melt & come apart, so it's a no-going-back type of breakage.

Rabish Bini Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Good idea, after I got my 360 back, I haven't had a single problem with it since, and it's a been a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Du Man Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 For some reason,i can't stop liking the color theme in this forum! It is mind-blowing. Wonder how the game is going to be itself.... Not as eye-blowing as Sam&Max's color theme. Man this forum just makes me want to go out and get a piercing. Does a cavity filling count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 As a general FYI, development of the game is still ongoing and the official word from Schafer is that "Brutal Legend is fine". Hehe... Double Fine. Anyways, looks like an interesting game. When (or if) I get a 360, this is going in the cart, right next to it. Along with Mass Effect if I don't get it for the PC. Can't wait to see what Tim has in mind for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnzor326 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I really hope someone picks up this game Tim Schaefer definitely deserves to get commercially successful games. Physconauts deserved to sell millions. Also whichever company is smart enough to pick this game up should publish the Conduit while their at it. edit: Good on EA for publishing it and **** Activision for suing, and thanks SEGA for publishing Conduit.
