Does Anyone Care About Brutal Legend?

seriously....why would any publisher pick this up after it was rightfully dropped? i cannot see any appeal in it whatsoever. Jack Black is annoying, not funny. the story looks lame, the graphics look even more lame, and i know it won't be funny due to Jack Black being involved.

so am I the only one who thinks this is going to be embarrassing?

Tim Schafer is my favorite game designer. His last game, Psychonauts, was the best written game of the last generation.

So yeah. I'm pretty stoked.

Because Brutal Legend will be awesome.

Dude, Brutal Legend is one of my top most-wanted for 2009. I can't wait for this game! Tim Schafer has made some great games, and I'm pretty hyped for this one.

I'm really unsure about this because I really can't stand Jack Black in anything other than High Fidelity and metal culture really grinds my gears but at the same time, it's nice to see a game which is trying to be something interesting and niche so I don't know if I want it do do well or not.

I think Brutal Legend is looking awesome and at this point I'm more than willing to pick up a copy for my 360 when it comes out.

Yikes, I guess I'm the only one who felt that way.

I think it's just my undying hatred for Jack Black.

I think it looks good. Don't know if I will buy it when it first comes out. Might wait for it to drop in price or go on sale.

Everyone is just geeking out on Schafer... I really don't quite know what the appeal is either to be honest. I guess we'll find out this ROCKTOBER if its any good or not.

im looking forward to it because its different and schafer is doing it so i trust him

the game looks ok. if it weren't for the GB crew hyping it up i probably wouldn't care much for it.

I will admit that this game wouldn't be half as interesting to me if not for Schafer's involvement/leadership. I'm not a huge Jack Black fan, the whole metal-chic thing is kinda played to me and the RTS-aspects kinda gives me pause.

But I would follow that man into gaming Hell.

I care.  I love Tim's humor and the concept for this game sounds awesome.  Also Lemmy (Motorhead) and Rob Halford (Judas Priest) are both involved, so I am totally there.

I'm really excited for this game. Not because I've got a Tim Shaffer fetish, I've never played any of his games. But I love Rock, I love Jack Black, and the description and impressions given on the Bombcast a few weeks ago makes me want to buy this game.

Your opinion sucks.

Given the developers amazing track record I've got no reason to doubt this games awesomeness.

This game looks great, I'm super excited about it. And JB is definitely not some prodigal actor or anything like that, but Schafer knows what he is doing, the voice will fit the character. 

I'm pretty excited. I quite enjoy Tim Schaffer, Jack Black and rock music. The fact that they have so many rock and roll legends involved in the game makes it even more incredible.

i'm kinda indifferent about it

Okay, what is it with Schafer? Why do all u geeks get boners over him?

Conceptually Brutal Legend is a game from my nightmares.

I can't think of anything worse than a game about heavy metal. Truly I can't.

I'm looking forward to ROCKTOBER myself :)  My birthday is around the time the game releases so I'll be picking up a copy :)

one of the worst  attempt of trollin i`ve seen lately

fuck no

Tim schafer, guitars, heavy metal, this game just can't get any better.

I just havent really looked into it. I dont have that much of an interest in rock and roll, dont really like Jack Black (Even though this is probably the most appropriate role hes ever had), and wasnt too thrilled with Full Throttle's story. I'll try to look into it when the game comes out.

Grim Fandango? Never heard of it..

...It's OK for Christians to like Rock & Metal, man.

I'm super excited about Brutal Legend not because of Tim Schafer, but because of how the game looks.  It seems amazing to me, and the way previewers describe the game it looks like it has a good chance of being the GOTY.  The visual theme looks great to me, putting bayonettes on tree tops?  Crazy weather effects?  It reminds me of Mario games (when they were good) in visual creatitivity.  I've always considered Tim Schafer to be great at humor and writing, but as solid as his adventure games were, other than the first Maniac Mansion, I don't conisder them great games, but I don't think too much of the genre as a whole.  Psychonauts was a solid platformer, but the high points were all in the writing and comedy.  Brutal Legend looks like the first chance to combine his humor with truly standout gameplay.

My short response would be "dude, its Tim Schafer".

This is one of the games Im most likely going to buy this year. I liked psychonauts, and even though Im not the biggest fan of Jack Black, people have saids it is funny (like.. I dunno, the bombcast). From what Ive seen I havent been so impressed by the graphics and gameplay, but from what Ive HEARD, It sounds awesome. And graphics is not so big a deal if the game is entertaining.

Because Tim Schafer is supposedly a great developer, and I like Jack Black and Tenacious D, so I might get this.

Never really heard much about it so no, not really.

I don't like how Schafer dissed 80's hairbands in that interview with Brad... >.<

Because Psychonauts was an amazing game. Why should this be any different?

I'm not hyped at all...
