Beat Writer Posts: 202 Joined: 19 Oct 2008 | I recently saw the newest trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM5lMHbq9j8 and it really seems like it's gonna be a great game. I'm a big fan of Jack Black and Double Fine (especially after Psychonauts) and it just looks like it's gonna be a good one. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 456 Joined: 3 Jan 2009 | Oh god no. I have hopes for it but the average high class reviewer would think it is garbage. I will rent it and see how it plays out. It will most likely be psykonauts all over again |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1086 Joined: 23 Dec 2008 | It looks Brutal, and Legendary! But I love Jack Black, and Lemmy and Dio are supposed to be in it, so I can't wait. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2222 Joined: 2 Aug 2006 | Welcome to early last year. Looks to me like they're ditching the Psychonauts IP to do a tongue-in-cheek game about Death Metal starring Jack Black. It'll be hilarious, but leave Psychonauts fans wanting... perhaps forever. |
Muckraker Posts: 305 Joined: 10 Oct 2008 | I'll see, I haven't played psychonauts admittedly but I heard t was good. If we're lucky they'll parody everything in a away. Like the whole nun, nope big ugly demon, thing, but even that wasn't LOL-able in my opinion (could've been phrased better if you ask me). Also hope that the guitar doesn't overshadow a lot of the other things. This is just me but I don't think guitars are that awesome. I can understand that you can use it as a weapon, but now it sees cliched and... not remotely interesting now. Also i think there should be much more violence, it is called Brutal Legend though. Granted, this is the most I've seen of the game so I might be completely off and irrelevant. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 684 Joined: 1 Nov 2008 | I really did love Grim Fandango and psychonauts, and Jack Black is one of the better stars out their. But from what iv'e seen this game could be a potential train wreck. I really have high hopes for it though. |
On the Record Posts: 5491 Joined: 13 Aug 2008 | I will admit that I found Psychonauts hysterical, so I have high hopes for the game. And while I hate Jack Black's music, I'll admit he's an above-average comedian. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1668 Joined: 10 Sep 2008 | It looks awsome. I've said it before, I'll say it again, They will really have to try to make me not like this game. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 3313 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | My thoughts? Its the only game I'm hyped for next year. Psyconauts is one of the funniest games I've ever played, plus I love Jack Black (his music is pretty bad, but I like a lot of his movies). This is truelly a match made in heaven. There are few games where I'm excited more for comedy than the gameplay. In fact, Brutal Legend is probley the only game where I'm more hyped about how much its going to make me laugh. The sad thing is, I'd be so much happier with Psyconauts 2. We'll never know what happens to Raz, and thats a stake though the heart. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2113 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | I'm not sure. That aside, let me just say that this would be one of the aforementioned exclusives. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1138 Joined: 11 Jul 2008 | It does look mighty fine, although I can't quite see it being the BEST GAME EVAR. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1001 Joined: 26 Jun 2008 | Looks like an original idea, gonna wait and see, it may end up rushed... |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 988 Joined: 22 Sep 2008 | There are a few things wrong with the game's premise, and one of them is Jack Black. Another one is that the theme is just not appealing to me. As someone who lives and breathes metal, I don't find this "metal is awesome!!!11" attitude to be the least bit funny. It wasn't funny when it was parodied years and years ago, and it's not funny now. In fact, I get the impression that it only appeals to people who don't like metal, and only because they haven't heard the jokes a million times by now. I could be wrong, of course, but the trailers have left a bad taste in my mouth. |
Muckraker Posts: 228 Joined: 10 Sep 2008 | The creator of Psychonauts plus Jack Black, making a game where his creative mind is totally free since no one's been to hell, adapting it's themes to Rock/Metal with the same Humour, cleverness and over the top enemies from the same genre of Psychonauts....... You tell me, how can THIS go wrong? I for one am REALLY hyped for this... I just hope I'm right and that I won't be disappointed since this finally seems what I've been praying for, a new IP with originality and no Space Marines in sight. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 800 Joined: 25 Nov 2008 | I can't wait for this game to come out. I really hope that I won't be disappointed. |
BANNED Posts: 12958 Joined: 30 Jan 2008 | I think the game looks sweet, but something about the gameplay shown seems somewhat less awesome. Its a definite must buy for me though. And this game must have Brendon Smalls, Dave Mustaine and Bruce Dickinson. There is no excuse to not. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?.

Copy Clerk Posts: 97 Joined: 16 Jul 2008 | It seems, first off, a major parody of all the Guitar Hero games coming out lately. Second, hopefully a good (and possibly open world) slash-n-smash, a la Diablo with the clicking taken out, and maybe some item customization. Although, the changing of weapons also reminds me of Sand of Time. Might be a lot like that as well. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 722 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | It will contain the pure seed of awesome. I will own it. |

Until they do the Boys themselves, the 40K marines, i say Space Marines will never cease to roll out of developers dens. Do the best, developers, and quench our need for them, do the best and we will ask no more. On a second note: I must buy this game, and then buy it again. |

Oh, well, as far as I can remember, the first game to actually have space marines is Doom. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3508 Joined: 20 Aug 2008 | What I want to know is who's giving Tim Schaefer money to make games when his last few projects have sold about as well as chocolate-covered AIDS with bubonic plague frosting. It's almost as if the publishers are saying "we'll throw money down the rabbit hole but we'll get a reputation as supporting indie developers." If anyone needs me I'll be over here patiently waiting for Empire: Total War and Hearts of Iron 3. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2893 Joined: 6 Mar 2008 | I think Brutal Legend looks awesome. Even if the gameplay isn't that great, the story should be. I love metal and hard rock music, and comedic takes on it like Metalocalypse, so it should be natural that I'll love this game ^__^ |

What do you think, the previews so far look promising, and double-fine has a good track record. But will it be another Too Human?
