Br?tal Legend official site 19 Oct, 2007, 13:11 / 29 comments

By Jason


Sierra has launched their Br?tal Legend page. Highlights include a higher res version of the trailer and a screenshots gallery, but it all rocks.

Update: Not to mention Double Fine itself has put up its own page!

Update plus update minus zero: As pointed out by Thunderpeel, Tim has written his thoughts on the matter up on the Double Fine news page, including the tidbit that you can pre-order the game here in an hour.

Update Six Six Six by The Tingler: Now available to pre-order from GameStop (hey, the 360 version might work on European consoles). Worth it for the T-Shirt... and what's this? Don't know how accurate GS's info is, but they've got the release date down as 11/03/08! That's only 5 months from now! Woo! ... Oh, wait, it's the stupid American way of writing dates, isn't it? So it's actually coming out 3rd November 2008. Which is a waaaay off and will undoubtedly slip. Sob.

    Wow. I'm actually in awe! This is gonna be fantastic (as long as it's released on PC too...)

    STUPID WAY OF WRITING AMERICAN DATES???!??!??!one

    Geez, it makes 100% sense. 11/3/08 translates to November 3, 2008. The 3 (third) is an adjective. :P
  • Gabez on 20 Oct, 2007, 17:43…
    Yes, we understood that. What is different in the British system (and no doubt in other regions as well) is that we write the day first, then the month, then the year. So November 3rd 2008 is, for us, 3/11/08.
  • clone2727 on 20 Oct, 2007, 18:44…
    Yes, I know. I was just making a point because The Tingler called it stupid ;)

    It's the same in Spanish.
  • Gabez on 20 Oct, 2007, 18:54…
    Oh, I see - the adjective comment makes more sense now.

    I wonder why there's two separate ways of doing it?
  • The Tingler on 21 Oct, 2007, 18:00…
    China has it the exact opposite to us with year/month/day, so it'd be 08/11/03!

    And I only called it "stupid" because, well, don't YOU want Br?tal Legend to come out in March rather than November?
  • ThunderPeel2001 on 20 Oct, 2007, 12:32…
    Why is the pre-order T-shirt so much better than the Double Fine one? *sob*!
  • tabacco on 19 Oct, 2007, 22:19…
    Yeah, I think the character is meant to look like Jack Black... it's just that Jack Black and Tim also bear a bit of a resemblance when reduced to cartoon form.
  • tabacco on 19 Oct, 2007, 22:20…
    *sigh*

    As usual, that was meant to be a reply to a post :(
  • jp-30 on 19 Oct, 2007, 21:03…
    So. No PC. :(
  • MrSneeze on 19 Oct, 2007, 23:08…
    At least we'll know if the game is a good one before and if they decide to release it on the PC... oh, who am I kidding.

    PC VERSION NOW!
  • The Tingler on 19 Oct, 2007, 21:39…
    Not yet. Sure there will be though. (shakes fist angrily in San Francisco's direction)
  • Udvarnoky on 20 Oct, 2007, 02:00…
    I think Sierra's positioned in LA - they'd be the ones to make the call on a PC port.
  • The Tingler on 20 Oct, 2007, 08:50…
    (shakes fist angrily in LA's direction)
  • jp-30 on 20 Oct, 2007, 10:55…
    Yeah. Fuck you LucasArts!
  • The Tingler on 20 Oct, 2007, 13:03…
    Wasn't my intention, but that's acceptable too.
  • counting_pine on 19 Oct, 2007, 18:47…
    Wierd... http://brutallegend.com redirects to brutallegends.com
  • Jake on 19 Oct, 2007, 18:48…
    I wonder if someone at Sierra just kept calling it Brutal Legends long enough to themselves that people got confused and bought that domain.
  • Metallus on 19 Oct, 2007, 23:51…
    TELEFRAGGED!
  • Jake on 20 Oct, 2007, 07:10…
    Hahahha! Yes, it's surely just their clever allusion to Adventure Gamer --> Adventure Gamers and Adventure Developer --> Adventure Developers. Next they'll be adding or removing a "the" from their title.
  • Sp0tted on 19 Oct, 2007, 18:45…
    The game is a year away? Seriously?
  • elTee on 19 Oct, 2007, 16:46…
    T-shirts!
  • The Tingler on 19 Oct, 2007, 18:02…
    Well, I've got two Psychonauts T-Shirts, so I guess I need at least one Brutal Legend one...
  • The Tingler on 19 Oct, 2007, 15:10…
    'Bout time! The question is: when can we buy it? And when's the European or PC version coming out?
  • Duncan on 19 Oct, 2007, 22:50…
    Sierra's probably a little more on the ball when it comes to international versions than Majesco was, so I doubt it'll take nine months like last time.
  • The Tingler on 20 Oct, 2007, 08:50…
    We can only hope!
  • ThunderPeel2001 on 19 Oct, 2007, 14:12…
    It's now officially announced on Double Fine's site, too!
  • QueZTone on 19 Oct, 2007, 13:56…
    haha i so love it how the character TOTALLY looks like Tim himself :p
  • ThunderPeel2001 on 19 Oct, 2007, 14:12…
    It reminds me of Jack Black... in some weird way.
