Νέες, ζουμερές λεπτομέρειες για το Brutal Legend
Terminator, 30/12/2008
Μπορεί να το Brutal Legend να πέρασε μια ταραχώδη περίοδο, κατά την οποία δεν είχε εκδότη, αλλά όλα αυτά ανήκουν στο παρελθόν πλέον.
Η ΕΑ τσίμπησε τα δικαιώματα του παιχνιδιού, και έτσι o Tim Schafer και η Double Fine μπορούν να επικεντρωθούν στην ανάπτυξη του τίτλου, αλλά και να αρχίσουν να δημοσιεύουν νέες λεπτομέρειες γι αυτόν.
Το νέο τεύχος του Official Xbox Magazine περιέχει ένα πολυσέλιδο preview του Brutal Legend, στο οποίο αποκαλύπτονται πολλές ζουμερές λεπτομέρειες για το παιχνίδι.
Έτσι λοιπόν μαθαίνουμε ότι το BL θα είναι open-world, o κόσμος του μοιάζει βγαλμένος από το πιο hardcore heavy metal περιοδικό, ενώ βρίσκεται υπό ανάπτυξη από το 2005.
Αναλυτικά από το Neogaf:
Brutal Legends: Pure awesome and win. That is all.
P.S. The pics are so good...
--The goal of Brutal Legends is to fulfill the promise of all those lyrics and all that lore, and not have it just be another Tolkeinesque elves in tights fantasy, but a collection of everything cool that we like, all put together. You could go back to this fantasy world, but you bring your Camaro with you.
--You play as rock roadie Eddie Riggs- “a man out of time, who should have been born in the early Seventies.”
--Eddie gets injured in a stage accident, ad some of his blood gets into the mouth of his belt buckle-which he doesn’t know is an ancient amulet of time travel. When Eddie wakes up, he’s in the same place he was before, only the foam and fiberglass stage set has been swapped for a real stone, and the audience has been replaced by piles of human remains.
--But then the red-robed demons surrounding an enormous double bladed axe….that’s new. Eddie quickly grabs the Separator, which will have it’s own history reveled in time, and hacks the baddies to bloody bits.
--Schafer says, the whole world is like and amplifier, Eddie’s guitar Clementine, is imbued with destructive force magic.
--Once slightly safe Eddie realizes he’s atop a grisly temple made of skulls and corpses, and the landscapes of this strange world is full of giant swords sticking out of the ground, towers of bone, pits of fire, wheels of plain, and other stuff you’d see, well, in the pages of Heavy Metal Thunder.
--They tried to make every piece of concept art look like it could be a heavy metal album cover.
--Eddie snaps together a hot rod (the Duece) and teams up with Ophelia, a comely member of the human resistance who becomes Eddie’s love interest.
--Gives a bit more background on what is next then from here you’re free to explore Brutal Legends open world finding battles and joining them at open will. YES YES YES
--OXM states: For there first glimpse of the game on 360 hardware Brutal Legends looks alarmingly complete, but then again, it has been in development since 2005.
--Characters look fantastic and the Age of Metal realm looks fully realized. Most of the voices are already done including Eddie Riggs.
--But will the average gamer get it too? Schafer says: The jokes were making about metal, people also get outside of metal. At the end of it, it’s a story about Eddie’s aspirations and the love interest and stuff, and that is stuff anyone can relate to.
--On track for a 09 release.
--Schafer sums it up: “There is a scene in School of Rock where Jack is singing ‘Immigrant Song’ by Led Zepplin, Schafer recalls. “He does this thing, ‘Hammer of the Gods!’ And they cut to a shot of the girl in the van, and there’s an Iron Maiden sticker on the wall. And I felt, ah…..it is rising in the zeitgeist…it’s time! It’s time for this game to be made!
Παιχνίδι της χρονιάς για το 2009; Δε θα στοιχημάτιζα εναντίον του...
Μετά από μια μακρά περίοδο όπου το μέλλον του Brutal Legend ήταν αβέβαιο, τα πράγματα μπήκαν επιτέλους στη θέση τους.
