BRÜTAL LEGEND follows the story of Eddie Riggs (voiced by Jack Black and named after Eddie the Head and Derek Riggs), who is the
world's best roadie for the world's worst 'heavy metal' band, Kabbage Boy. After a freak onstage accident and a little bit of demon blood,
Eddie finds himself in an ancient world of metal! Immediately faced with a bunch of scary looking judas priests, Eddie decides that he better
be the slayer or he will meet an early megadeth. With guitar Clementine by his side and an awesome ride in "The Deuce", Eddie finally has his
chance to kill 'em all, win the heart of the iron maidens and become a brutal legend.

BRÜTAL LEGEND will feature 108 heavy metal tracks from 75 different bands, selected by Schafer as listed below, each song being a
"completely sincere choice" by Schafer, with the whole track list being "designed to be loved by Metal fans." Schafer sought to include
songs from every sub-genre of metal, including classic heavy metal, industrial metal, and doom metal, with each faction in the game favoring
a specific type. Though Schafer and others on the Double Fine team had vast knowledge of specific types of metal, they turned to a used-CD
store owner named Alan who had "encyclopedic knowledge" of the entire genre, and who provided the team with sample CDs to help them select
the music. Schafer also credits Black with some of the music selections for the game.

whoa, nice! good work.

since my other thread about the new multiplayer vids has been rendered obsolete by this thread, here's some stuff on the multiplayer side of the game:

The above's a good look at the lite-action-RTS elements of Brutal Legend in the form of a multiplayer tutorial. Keep in mind that this will all be slowly introduced to you throughout the game.

I like how things like the double team attacks were taught to you really early on in the demo, and seem to be vital later in the game once more layers to the combat become apparent.

The possibilities with the story and presentation on top of this large-scale gameplay is amazing (think epic- climactic moments against giant enemy monsters, or getting your own giant unit - like the giant metal beast from the intro, perhaps? - to annihilate the enemy). Can't wait.

Great OP.

Really excited for this game, but kinda hopeless because they didn't even confirm the existence of a PC version. All they say is "We didn't say that there won't have a PC version", or something like that.

:/

Good job on the OP.

Can't wait for this game, it's going to be undoubtedly awesome. Hope EA continues to market it so it has a chance of selling.

How are the preorders for this game? If that is any telling if it is going to sell.

I have a feeling Double fine are working on brutal legend 2 right now as Tim said they are not working on Psychonauts 2 :/

Probably my most anticipated game ever, since I love Psychonauts and of course metal.

Hope the PS3 audio issues in the demo get resolved at retail. :(

This game is going to fucking ROOOOOOOOOOOOCK.
Already have it pre-ordered, something I never do for games.
Ps3 sound issues are supposedly already solved.


Can't fucking wait! There are not enough cool action adventure games with a personal twist these days.

Good OP too Buckethead, yet if I were you I would post the developer walkthroughs with Tim ( from IGN ). Those are cool and show some of the open world/customization stuff.

I believe they have commented on Twitter and said that they are aware of the issues.

In any case, I wouldn't worry. ;)

It's a damned shame that this game's soundtrack lacks Maiden (and Metallica and Dio and...so on). Still, it should be a fun ride.

I'm sick of them really...I'm glad I'll be hearing some great new metal for the first time through this game.

thank you toys r us, you have found a way for me to pick up this awesome game.

Yep. Couldn't justify this as a standalone purchase, but the TRU deal is like a signal from heaven..... buy this game.

I downloaded the 360 demo today to compare it with the ps3 demo & besides the Double Fine voice at the beginning, I didn't notice anything different beyond a tiny bit of stuttering when the camera sweeps across that first big tower of skeletons, on the ps3. In my mind, that doesn't merit a preorder transfer imho. Will wait for reviews for that.

Can't wait!

The music consultant was Allan at Aquarius Records in San Francisco. Aquarius bought my Joust arcade machine which you can play at the store (along w/ Tron and Rastan). Glad to see King Diamond made it into the sountrack.

The heavy metal and RTS elements turned me off of this initially, but I tried the demo and I liked the humor and the combat enough to justify a purchase or at least a rental.

Is there any co-op multiplayer, or is it all competitive?

He's on tomorrow. It's a placeholder.

And there's stuff I'm going to add, just a heads up. It'll be up in a couple hours.

I really hope the 360 version is region free or an Asian version is released, because I am really looking forward to this game.

Assuming that there is no way to play the game on a Japanese 360, how is the PS3 version turning out? Has anyone compared the demos? If they play comparatively I may just get the PS3 version.
