Brutal Legend 2 scrapped, Tim Schaffer to work on "indie-style" games for foreseeable future

During a talk at the 2010 Develop Conference in Brighton, England, Double Fine headman and video game developer legend Tim Schafer said his studio now has four projects in development and none of them is Brutal Legend 2.

He admitted the company is working on "indie-style" games, which may be downloadable. Schafer's video game output has rarely failed to impress critics, but sales have sometimes been lower than expected.

Schafer said the "indie approach" will let them play with different demographics which should give them "more chances at having a hit game."

Brutal Legend was a disaster. Even at $5 dollars retail price, no one still wants to pick it up.

rroded5033d ago

sp is one of the funess and fresh games ive ever played

coulda done without jack black but still dude suited the role fine

mp aint for everyone sure but its there for those who do

RememberThe3575033d ago

The dialogue was great and the story was awesome. The RTS stuff was a little out of place but his orders were hilarious. Jack Black killed it (in a good way).

NecrumSlavery5033d ago

Brutal Legend was super awesome except for the RTS elements which felt weird.

Spenok5032d ago

I have to disagree. I paid $60 for this game when it came out, and i fully loved it.

NonApplicable5033d ago

Heh, it was only scrapped because it sold poorly. It only sold poorly because it didn't have enough of that "Schaffer Magic".

Zydake5033d ago

Aw man I loved that game. One of the greatest games I played.

That's three words. Just sayin'.

SuperStrokey11235033d ago

Does 2 count as a word? I see it as 2 words and a number really. Just sayin' ;)

Lombax5033d ago

Dude still has a good point.

Just saiyan...

Anon19745033d ago

I was shocked that I was able to pick it up new for $15. Made me kinda sad because I'm a huge Tim Schafer fan. Grim Fandango is, in my opinion, the best adventure game ever made.

Haven't played through Brutal Legend yet as I've got a lot on my plate at the moment but I'm very much looking forward to giving this a go.

Spenok5032d ago

Lmao which Saiyan are you talking about? Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Broly, Goten, or Trunks...?

Brutal Legend was a great game but it got released with many AAA games comeing out at that time

RememberThe3575033d ago

Mirrors Edge shouldn't have come out during the holidays, they should have saved it for spring. Same goes for Brutal Legend. Maybe then we would be getting some freakin squeals, those morons...

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein4h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno21m ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
