Brutal Legend
KvP:
That's fine and good if it means Double Fine can continue to operate and get back to making idiosyncratic games again if possible (after Tenacious D and Metalocalypse, the whole goofy metal mythology thing doesn't seem as fresh and weird as something like Psychonauts), but God of War ain't my personal cup of tea.
Storm Rider:
OK, I suppose I can understand that viewpoint. At the same time, this game has most likely been in development since as soon as Psychonauts finished, if not before, and therefore it was being created long before Metalocalypse premiered. I really hope this game doesn't get dismissed as riding Metalocalypse's coattails just because game production takes as long as it does.
And I think he was referring to a Psychonauts TV adaptation, not a Brutal Legend show.
KvP:
oh, well in that case, sure. But they'd have to put their best on it, or at least people who can keep it coherent. If Venture Brothers ever goes under (god forbid) Hammer and Publick could do a lot worse than a Psychonauts series. Wishful thinking on my part, I suppose.
And as much as I might tire of the metal god schtick, I'm open to the game being good, and it's quite possible that it'll turn me around. It's just that God of War plus some squad combat with jokes doesn't sound interesting to me right now.
Storm Rider:
By the way, if there were any concerns that Tim Schafer's writing is any less hilarious now than it has been in years past, I suggest you go read the Double Fine website, where his news updates are slightly short of hysterically funny. My favorite bit so far:
--- Quote from: Tim Schafer ---Ho ho! But not our pals at Sierra. They have embraced this game like a mama bear hugging a baby cub. And when the cub was hungry, the mamma bear reached into the creek and pulled out a salmon for us, named Jack Black. And he was delicious. After we ate that salmon (and by “ate” I mean cast him in our starring role, the roadie Eddie Riggs) the baby cub said, “That salmon was perfect, but now we’d like something sweet. Maybe a thin chocolate wafer,” the momma bear reached into that cool, mountain stream and pulled out Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead. And when the baby bear said, “And maybe a single espresso,” the momma bear pulled out Rob Halford from Judas Priest. And when the baby bear said, “Oh, I’m so stuffed. But you know what would really hit the spot would be some Ronnie James Dio,” the momma went into the woods and found a hunter. She stalked that hunter for days, and then charged him, tackled him, and tore out his guts. Then she ate the guts, all except for the heart, and she brought the heart back to the baby bear, and said, “Here. This is Ronnie James Dio.”
I think you know what I’m talking about.
After that, the momma bear did many more things. Awesome things. Unspeakable things. And the baby bear was happy. But the baby bear can’t tell you what they are, because they’re secret, and because bears can’t speak English.
The moral of the story is that Brütal Legend is going to be the best f***ing game you have ever played.

Haughblagh...so cool.
Seriously, this seems bar far to be one of the neatest things in a long time. I can see it being a perfect blend of insanity and interesting.
