You know what be awesome? A wrestling-style fighting game with hiphop artists. Imagine DMX throwing down against Fat Joe, man, that thing would be off the hook!
It would be I imagine handled embarrassingly and end up very saints row esq imo. Not to shit on your idea op I love hip hop and would probably enjoy it all the same best case scenario would be if it didn't take its self seriously.
I dunno, Brutal Legend worked as well as it does because Metal loves norse mythology, assorted monsters, dark stuff, massive opportunities for world and enemy design specific to the genre. What's hip hop/rap got that's not...highly problematic in terms of world and enemy design? Because the obvious locations and enemies are...not...going to go over well unless very carefully handled.
The main character is obviously going to be white, duhIt depends. Can I relate?
San Andreas is the only game to get anything about hip hop right.
Licensed music related games have been awful, I'm looking at your games - Fiddy.
Nightmare fuel.Follow the same archetype of Brutal Legend's world design and replace it with key components of hip hop/rap and the culture its spawned.
Although I think this idea would work better with Pop music. The factions would be the fanbases. Little Monsters. Katy Kats, Barbz etc.
If good why not?
Hip Hop and Rap are not exactly my favorite genres so forgive my ignorance, but what are those genres' imaginary to base the game on?
Metal has strong fantasy and dark imaginary, what hip hop and rap have? I can only think of "gangsta", girls and money.
ThanksGenies.
Shaolin.
Aliens.
Jazz, with nujabes as the patron saint.
Some guy who wears a doctor doom mask.
Whatever the fuck de la soul is on.
And most importantly - love.
Thanks
Sorry if i take advantage of you but could you post some images of them so i can get an idea? I guess that rap shaolins are different from common shaolins for example, right?
They already made a game called wu tang shaolin style.
As for other stuff...
Hip hop is honestly wide enough to get a whole bunch of weird art-style influences.
No, I'm fucking sick of "indie" plattformers.
Outwordly what I remember Brutal Legend getting flack for was the RTS elements that didnt come together with the rest of the game, but did the story and characters actually work?
I love metal but it looked like a It's-decent-enough-if-your-into-Jack-Black-type-of-thing. Isn't it more his style of humor than Tim Schafers? I loved Broken Age and I actually thought about trying Brutal Legend.. I just never got around to it. People don't talk about it as fondly as say, Psychonauts.
TL;DR - Should I play Brutal Legend?

Only if Lupe is in and tries to teach you karate.

Do you get some kind of thrill making jokes like these , Cause they hurt . These are the ones that cut deep into souls
Makes enough hip hop references to cement his eligibilityThat dude's just a journalist isn't he?

If you made a game that took hip hop culture to parody levels of extreme like Brutal Legend, the game would end up being inadvertently racist as fuuuuuck. No one would ever make that game. Ever.
