Even if I love him, we need to stop Tim Schafer's bug killing rampage! D:

-Vagrant-

Wouldn't it be ironic if both of these games (Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend) were both picked up by EA or Ubisoft and made boat loads of cash?!

I really don't get Activision's strategy here. Not sure with Brutal Legend but the GB game were getting a lot of good previews and press coverage.

Tim Schafer is overrated.

silenthill4vid

I like the way he did that.
A very clever way to assure his fans that everything is all right (except the weevil).

TheCleaningGuy

You got to love Tim Schafer. Scroll down to see his daughter on the Wii Fit balance board.

Thorax

For the love of God, THANK YOU! Brutal Legend is one of the few games this year I was looking forward to the most.

Amazon_Chris

I love Tim Schafer's mind.

Cam_Ras

YOU'RE ALL SICK BASTARDS!
Talking about a game when my weevil is in the hands of that murderer!
I'll have him sued! And during Shark Week too!

@AceKicker: Exactly. Schafer answers to no-one. I don't want to wait more than a few minutes for BL to come out, but if Tim says wait, wait I shall. Schafer is a genius, and companies should be showering him with praises in the hopes that he MIGHT give them some of his mental table scraps. Those scraps would be better than 99% of the garbage that's out now.

@boopadoo: It's not just fine, Brutal Legend is like a good dog.

It's good!

Kazzahdrane

This pleases me. I didn't think it'd be canceled, but all the same Tim Schafer should have his games published without the distributors even having to ask about them.

AceKicker

See everyone was crying for no good reason!

Boudabras

Of course Brutal Legend is fine, its creator just avoided DEATH BY WEEVIL.

Xideo

Dio is still gonna Hex someone right?

art_zombie

...but is it GOOD?!

Just kidding, Mr. Schafer! I'm a good little bunny!

boopadoo

good to know that its still on track. this is definetely going to be the most metal/brutal game of all time. :) wonder if dethklok will make an appearance.

Milkzhakes

Hmmmm... we're closer to an answer about Riddick.

I'm leaning towards them saying it's been canned though. [goes into corner to sulk]

Twisk

Haha... you've gotta love Tim.

Kaizuden

Wow i type slow...when I first went to comment, I was the first...

Wow...youse guys are quick...

MaTsKaT

Whew....

I was getting worried that someone at Activision might have come to their senses and realized that Brutal Legend has unique artistic vision, tongue-in-cheek satirical humor, and isn't just another cookie-cutter game that will appeal to the new breed of "casual gamers" and hardcore Halo junkies alike. It's a mystery to me how they're even letting this one get published.

Let's all hope that the marketers don't get all confused, like with Psychonauts, and mis-manage a great title into obscurity.

...then again with big names like JACK BLACK and LEMMY KILMEISTER, Activision will surely need to make a return on the investment.

Alright...I'm done... \\end cynicism

MaTsKaT

Man, I was really worried for a second. All is right with the world.

Guild_Navigator

South Beach... It works, but only if you want to keep with it forever. One misstep and you're fucked.

@Jhongerkong: *abstains from "Double Fine" pun*

vashthestampede

Yeah... considering Double Fine's talent for getting into trouble, Brutal Legend won't be 'fine' until it's actually spinning up on my console.
Glad to hear it, of course, but if the next post is from the county health inspector explaining how everyone at DF died of mutant e-coli and were eaten by cereal weevils, it will not be a huge surprise.

cynopt

thank the gods. the gods of METAL!!!!

3inst3in

haha funny guy

MyLittlePwny

"Brütal Legend is fine," says a simple sentence."

Yes but is it double fine?

Barbara

This is some fine news

Jhongerkong

yay, can't wait for brutal legend, love tim schaefer.

and thank you for telling me what that bug was! i found a dead one near my screen door and had no clue wtf it was (my cereals are all thankfully weevil free).

damn FL and their bugs (now is the time when the roaches are all coming out too :/ )

demonknightinuyasha

I hope all is well. Psychonauts was an underappreciated gem and I look forward to this new project.

GrrSnort

There ya go folks, Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend are fine.

@silenthill4vid:
Only ever so slightly. I say that because I've played three Tim Schafer games (Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango), and each time I was just ever so slightly disappointed by the end.

But I figure Tim Schafer + metal = low chance of disappointment. It'll be cool if there's more than just heavy metal/NWOBHM in the game. Some thrash would be nice (especially since the inspiration for the game came from a Megadeth roadie). And maybe some death metal too, though that's probably pushing my luck.

topraman517

You can't kill the metal.
