Brutal Legend Lawsuit Settled, Free To Rock October - brutal legend - Kotaku

[Lebzile]

Good to know, now I just need to stop being cheap and buy a 360/ps3 so I can play this game.

[BRP]

This game looks to be incredibly ugly. I just have to point this out because it is everything ugly about videogames:

Shouldn't you be off roleplaying D&D or something?

Graphics =! Quality.

[Kaisha]

If it weren't for the realtime shadows and higher resolution one would think those were PS2 graphics...., where's the anti-aliasing?

Hey! I happen to enjoy tabletop RPGs in addition to videogames. Don't lump him in with me.

[Katlan]

Isn't it still in Alpha? Would figure those aren't the finalized graphics & more of a rough-design

[Kaisha]

It's supposed to be out this fall (so September-November), if it's still in alpha state they're in trouble.

[Merovingian]

I just hope the "settled" doesnt mean that activision will get part of the sales generated from the game, they cut the game w/o thinking and now that it's getting famous they want a piece of the pie.

When i watched other ppl play it at comic con it didn't look as bad as that SS makes it seem. It's far from the prettiest game, but I chalked it up to them pushing for a cartoony look.

lol so defensive. Before you cry your eyes, did I say anything about mechanics?

EDIT: Also, I WISH I had a DnD group... (you don't roleplay DnD, you play DnD which has roleplaying)

Fuck, it goes beyond that. LOOK AT THAT IS BEING RENDERED lol. Every character is hideous. Look at the arms, the faces, etc.


And of course... BLOOOOM.

EDIT: What's disappointing is the concept art and how it looks nothing like the game.

[BadKarma]

Insane soundtrack.

[Katlan]

IGN just updated w/some new clips.. game looks much better. Ain't gonna break any graphic genre's, but looks much better then that SS

[IGN link removed]

updated w/ link

[BRP]

could please at least link that next time? I looked up the new videos, but still wasn't sure which video you meant.

Anyway, I was talking about the very essence of the game's look. Simply making it look sharper isn't going to make it improve much. It is still so ugly, and bland when not.

Brutal Legend Demo Out Next Month - brutal legend - Kotaku

EA has just announced that a demo for Double Fine's Brutal Legend will hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in September.

"We just couldn't wait," Double Fine president Tim Schafer said in a press reelase. "Villagers have surrounded our offices with torches, demanding the game. So we're releasing a demo and hope that this taste of metal will keep the mob at bay until Brütal Legend comes out this Rocktober."

[Kyo]

Has anyone downloaded the demo yet via gamestop voucher, if so how is the game?

[Parshias]

Wait, you need a voucher to get the demo? That's seriously lame.

[Qalbert]

"early access" bullshit
should be public in a week or two
