This game is FCUKING METAL

He led me down to his room, and he told me to sit on the floor while he flipped through his record collection. He pulled out a strange, dark record, and put it on the turntable.

It popped and crackled and then was silent. Then it all began, with the bass drum. ?Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump,? like the footsteps of an angry giant, coming down the hallway to kill us.

But, instead of hearing a knocking on the door, I heard a sound that made me feel like my brain was being electrocuted. It was an electric guitar, but it was as if steel cables were uncoiling inside my gut, turning my body inside out. And the evil sound just got deeper and expanded until I was flayed open, a mass of gurgling blood. Then, a commanding voice announced itself. An enormous, malevolent, Satanic robot, with red eyes and chrome teeth.

?I? am? IRON? MAN,? it growled.


That was the first time I heard Heavy Metal. It was big, loud, powerful, threatening, and weird. Everything I secretly hoped to be as a teenager. Growing up in a small town, looking at the same old things every day--the kids you know in school, the teachers, the streets, your room?you start to wonder, ?Is this really all there is?? And Heavy Metal, just like fantasy, science fiction, and video games, says, ?No. There are worlds out there that you can?t even imagine.? And one of those worlds is exactly what we?re building for this game.

?Of course,? you exclaim, slapping your forehead. ?A Heavy Metal game. Why didn?t I think of that? In fact, why aren?t ALL games exactly like this?? And it?s a good question. Why aren?t all games Br?tal Legend?


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 Mot?rhead. 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.?




The moral of the story is that Br?tal Legend is going to be the best f***ing game you have ever played.

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!

Hah holy diver that's old school metal.

So what kind of game is this, I think I saw a screenshot but it looked like an rpg game.

 

[CptStern]

ya well I'm an old school metal kinda guy ..new metal is for poseurs and wimps pretending they're anything but wimps ..Lemmy would eat them for breakfast

 

[Raziaar]

Never was a metal fan myself. Make an old school punk rock game, and I'd be all over that.

 

[CptStern]

ummm that isnt the same thing I linked to

 

[Darkside55]

...yes, it is. See the poster in the background, that says "Brutal Legend?" See the topic that I pointed to, "Tim Schaefer's new game - Brutal Legend?"

Anyway, rock.

This game is going to be ****ING AMAZING. Even though so little has been said, I have no doubt that this will be one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life as a gamer. Rock the **** on!
