Brutal Legends, Double Fine's newest unpossibly awesome looking game starring Jack Black.

If anyone sees anything on this at all, please post info for me.

It's not a new Psychonauts, but I'm glad they're still kickin.

OMG

It's on the cover story for the latest Game Informer. PLEASE HELP A BRUTHA OUT

It's probably like 4 years off. I wouldn't waste your time getting excited just yet. And does the involvement of Jack Black, who's on minute 25 out of his 15 of fave, really merit mention on the cover of the magazine? I mean, we don't even have to fucking guess what his schtick will be for this one.

i don't know. i love psychonauts, but i'm pretty averse to 'ironic metal' comedy

spinal tap obviously excepted

TVC15 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 11, 2007, 10:50:44 PM »

I loved Psychonauts, too, despite being well aware, and annoyed, by its flaws. I'll be all over this on day one, it's just that day one might not even be this decade at this rate, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

The best thing that ever happened to Doublefine was MS dropping Psychonauts. If Psychonauts never had its funding cut, they probably would have stayed at the teat and never bothered to finish the game. I just hope fate interjects sooner this time so I can play the damned new game before I have alzheimers. Tim has the work ethic of an [insert hated minority here].

featuring Jack Black? yuck

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:15:30 PM »

Jack Black was funny in Mr. Show, but evidently had his humor gland surgically removed immediately after that was cancelled

I like the Tenacious D HBO show, too. If he would have stayed at that "level," I think his shelf life would have worked out better for me. He's just not a good marquee, leading man, third heat kind of guy. He's a character actor, not a star.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:44:56 PM »

I've never seen the Tenacious D show, but I did like that Tenacious D video John K did the animation for

TVC15 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 12, 2007, 12:13:35 AM »

The Tenacious D show was like 6 episodes, and I believe it was even made at the same time as the last season of Mr. Show. Maybe a year or so later. I think they had some writers in common, too. Although the show wasn't sketch-oriented, it did have a sort of Mr. Show-styled absurd vibe to it.

Hmm...I dunno, man. I'm not convinced.

Himu · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2007, 04:31:49 PM »

That's because you're a nub.

Schafer's resume is flawless.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2007, 04:35:53 PM »

It can't be more brutal than Untold Legends for the PS3.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2007, 04:39:30 PM »

Is it coming to the Wii?

Of course not lol

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2007, 08:05:15 PM »

Schafer is gonna try and make a DMC/God of War clone? Huh.

No doubt I'll buy it, but I'm skeptical.

What the hell are you talking about? Because it's an action game doesn't mean it's a DMC clone.

Dude, you need to calm down. I love Schafer, I'm sure it will be fun, but the screenshots really give me a DMC/God of War vibe. And there's nothing wrong with that, since I'm sure it's beyond hilarious.

The art style looks lame, though. I dunno, I'm very unimpressed by what I read.

Himu · « **Reply #21 on:** October 14, 2007, 03:13:11 PM »

meh. I love the art style. It reminds me of Psychonauts except evolved. What I've read hasn't been THAT interesting but I think it's because I'm not such of a heavy metal fan to begin with lol

cg trailer: http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/brtal-legend-trailer-311632.php

This game will suck and will make Himu cry manly tears.

School of Rock is awesome, motherfuckers. It's like a Sister Act for white people.

The new images for Brutal Legend have me even more pumped. The concept art rules.

I especially like the NUN FROM HELL.
