Holy Manchester! 13 Oct, 2007 / Comments: 25

By Gabez


The scans are here!

Check them out at the Double Fine forums. And then buy the magazine, if you can.

Does the gameBRUTAL! look good? Shit yes.

Details from the scans include:

  • Online multiplayer

  • Third person action adventure with an RPG flavour

  • One large world peppered with a variety of missions

  • Jack Black as Riggs the protagonist - and a sneeze of heavy metal rock stars playing other characters and contributing music

  • Story centers around Riggs in the Rock & Roll universe (rather like Halloween-land in The Nightmare Before Christmas, but centered on music) - and not a journey from heaven to hell as previously rumored.

  • Due for release on the PS3 and Xbox 360 - no word on a PC port.

  • Jake Rodkin confirmed as "Little Daddy" who follows Riggs around and offers helpful comments on game design. Remi Olsen has so far not been contacted with the offer of a role.

      Wow, awesome. Very original gameconcept. I totally love that Frank Frazetta look on the cover!

      Obviously Game Informer has it at a different time of year to the rest of us.

      Also, it looks like Mojo's RSS feed is broken

      But will there be a Hoagie reference?
    • Gabez on 13 Oct, 2007, 21:43…
      The answer is yes. Indubitably.

      So is the final name for the game called Brutal Legend: Roadshow of Destruction, or just Brutal Legend?
    • jp-30 on 13 Oct, 2007, 21:15…
      Funny that brutallegend.com redirects to brutallegends.com (plural).

      No site yet though.

      Just BL - I think that subtitle's just to fill space.

      Oh man, seeing those bikes and those pimped out rides just reminded me of Full Throttle and Glottis's Car. I hope that was intentional. Didn't you guys have that same feeling?
    • Gabez on 13 Oct, 2007, 21:40…
      Definitely. And the way that rock stars are contributing songs is like Full Throttle.
    • black_sheep on 13 Oct, 2007, 22:00…
      And how about that image of the "Grim Reaper" on the horse? I'm betting the Kickstand will be there too, in some form. I loved how he mixed up all the tiny details of his previous games into this one. So I'm guessing you guys already made plans to visit Double Fine, now that the game is official and all? :) Dude we need some extra juicy info on the multiplayer, and say some exclusive screenshots and videos?
    • The Tingler on 13 Oct, 2007, 23:11…
      Um... yes... Gabez, you've got a plane right?
    • Gabez on 14 Oct, 2007, 08:07…
      We need a staff member in San Francisco again. Anyone who lives there: e-mail me at gabez@mixnmojo.com!
    • Remi O on 13 Oct, 2007, 17:01…
      Well I'm a fan.

      Other than the fact I have to get a 360 or something.

      Sound epic on the grandest of scales.

      Scrum though? Sounds pretty similar to XP to me.
    • elTee on 13 Oct, 2007, 16:03…
      Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.
    • ThunderPeel2001 on 13 Oct, 2007, 15:35…
      Looks great! I wanna play!!!

      No mention of Jack Black, though. Guess that was a bit of made up pre-hype.
    • Nappi on 13 Oct, 2007, 15:41…
      Last page. :)
    • Jake on 13 Oct, 2007, 16:45…
      ... also the cover of the magazine, the scan which confirmed the story, mentions it.
    • hierohero on 13 Oct, 2007, 13:18…
      ahh its like when brendan small creator of home movies made the metalocalypse?? whatever that show is called..it may be good but because i have no interest in heavy metal it all goes right over my head
    • Gabez on 13 Oct, 2007, 16:47…
      I have no interest in "heavy metal" either - in fact I find most modern music to be more baffling than the first world war - but I'm really really excited about this game! It just looks like so much fun.
    • Remi O on 13 Oct, 2007, 17:03…
      Sounds like the inspiration mostly is 70s bands. But I suppose that's modern for those who are into classical music. ;

      Is it ok? No
      Is it good? No
      Is it great? No
      IS IT THE BEST GOD DAMN GAME EVER MADE? No

      IT'S THE BEST GOD DAMN GAME THAT EVER WAS OR EVER WILL BE MADE!
