Jack Black put his heart and soul into this game. He would return for a sequel.

[@James11111]

The *only* game that can compete with DOOM as the most metal game of all time.

[@gentletal5101]

You know what... Your not wrong

[@koythomas9715]

There is no competition. This is the most metal game ever.

[@darklordoffirex7777]

This game definitely out Metals Doom

[@koythomas9715]

@@darklordoffirex7777 Ya. Doom just uses metal to amplify the action. Brutal legend IS metal, it doesn’t just use metal.

[@_Tzer]

there is ONLY one other series that can compare and it literally bas rob zombie as a playable character it's called TWISTED METAL.

[@jxcob6236]

I like the lack of a mini map. it makes you actually use your surroundings in the world. also the duce had blinkers on the rear that would light up in the direction you needed to go. also you never needed to jump. you're mostly running around fighting demons or driving in the duce.

[@supafreak1]

Anyone just get the random urge in the last 2 days to play this lol

[@G0spel_Raffi]

I lost it... I think about it all the time, I have had many dreams of this game too. A sequel or a remake would no doubt cure my depression

[@mammonthegreat9089]

I used to love this shit

[@G0spel_Raffi]

@Ben you know what's up! Amazing game, so many memories.

[@davidbeaulieu4815]

Dude it's been f****** years and I've been praying first sequel to this game

[@yeayet8973]

I will pray to ömagoden for a sequel..

[@gentletal5101]

As a man of metal, you dare not bend your knee, nor do you beg

[@Yaggert]

This game is on xbox gamepass currently or at least was. I really hope it gets a sequel though even now this game is pretty good

[@RoyMcCoy]

Yeah! A lot of Tim Schafer’s games are on there... and they’re incredible. I’d love to see a new one, cause, as you say - it still holds up!

[@kristinfyock7248]

It is still on gamepass, I just stared a new playthrough and it's still as great as I remember

[@Humblepie1234]

It's stil on gamepass but there's article interviewing tim schaffer last year saying that after psychonauts he's not interested in making a sequel for there next game.

[@DesidiosumCorporosumHominis]

Microsoft owns Double Fine Productions and they need more exclusive titles. Psychonauts 2 will release on PS4 because it was planned to be released on PS when Microsoft bought the studio but if they decide to make a Brütal Legend 2 they could make it a Xbox/Windows exclusive

[@nomz8810]

Yup. I'm playing it right now

[@hishamhilal8332]

Really good game. I love replaying it every now and then. Its underrated man also the landscape, the details, the script it really is a world of art.

[@mattzee6287]

Yeah, not that I wouldn't make Keeper of Metal's a portal, to transport you to the next, like ,maybe as a bonus for raising all the relics, and def make main character able to jump,

[@gavintaylor8383]

This game was my childhood, I remember playing nonstop after school. I remember playing with friends in the multiplayer. I really hope a Sequel does come out. I always recommend this game to all my Metalhead friends. If anyone wants to play on Xbox 360 let me know.

[@Incursion.]

Never played multiplayer but as a kid I played the campaign over and over again dozens of times. Great game.

[@fabionatilla554]

I can't play anymore online because i wasn't subscribed to the XOVO...

[@CesarLopez-xm7in]

Its free on game pass for the new consoles does the online work

[@gavintaylor8383]

@@CesarLopez-xm7in I’m not sure, but I know that on Xbox 360 there’s always at least 10 people playing. Sadly the game isn’t in its glory days anymore but it’s still a gem, and worth finding friends that like to play. It’s super nostalgic and the music is amazing.

[@gabrielcabello9227]

It's backwards compatible on Xbox One if ya wanna try multi-player

[@Arkl1te]

I just finished the game on Steam and I'm glad there's somebody talking about it, even if it's a video from 2 years ago. I just care for more story content of the game. The voice acting was so great. As for gameplay they need to make enemies less spongy, make the battlefield easier to read, show solo cooldowns outside the wheel, a minimap, make Eddie jump and chop enemies in half, sidequests that involve main characters and, of course, more Ophelia x Eddie.

[@jamescallans9209]

I loved this game when it came out. I just found it in a used game shop for five dollars today and had to get it. Loveing playing it again.

[@masterofbloopers]

Brutal Legend was one of those games that always stuck in the back of my mind ever since my childhood. I was (and still am) a fan of metal, yet I never got around to playing the game until recently. It's definitely a product of its time gameplay & graphics-wise, but it's a fun time all around.

[@Marc_Araujo]

A criminally underrated game. The first playthrough is weird cuz it throws a lot at you out of nowhere and it doesn't explain much well. The second playthrough, where you know what to do (and how to do it better), is much more enjoyable and really awesome.

[@TheLubowski]

Man.... I was LITERALLY thinking that after remembering how good the soundtrack was.

[@AnxiousJack]

This was my absolute favorite game. Ever

[@timtravis512]

Agree

[@magfednb]

I remember when I was younger, maybe 6 or 7.. I would always sneak down into the basement and try to play this on my brothers ps3, but being so young I never really understood how to do most of the stuff in it, but now that im older I have been searching trying to find a copy of this just to reminisce and actually play the game haha

[@G0spel_Raffi]

We need to start a fundraiser. Somebody get on that. Just a thought

[@EVPointMaster]

Double Fine was bought by Microsoft back in 2019. They're not going to do a fundraiser

[@sunslits]

@@EVPointMaster maybe not, but if there's a documentation in numbers, perhaps a petition, regarding the large amount of people who would love to see and are willing to buy a sequel, maybe they'll put it on a list of things potentially worth investing in for the future.

[@ElarKun]

I just finished playing the game because I happen to have it on my GOG account. Didn't know at all what to expect and it was just wonderful! It reminded me of the time when I was in secondary schoo. and highschool when I was much into heavy metal. I loved the most the action adventure part of the game, not so RTS but nevertheles it turned out great.

[@deathwolf1153]

Dude if we get BRUTAL LEGEND 2 is gonna blow up more then cyberpunk did

[@duffinthemuffin5792]

To this day I haven't seen a game more filled with love and tears and just pure style

[@lazareway1432]

Fr we need a second game set in this universe, perhaps have the story focus on the black tears rebelion era or have the game set during the Age of Titans maybe ? But if not if feel like we should at least get a remaster or something...

[@dickusmobius2804]

This is still to this day my favorite game, I’m playing it right now on my 360, it’s an absolute masterpiece, from the scenery to the battles and story it was way ahead of its time

[@nickantonacci8280]

From an objective viewpoint, this game had a lot of glaring flaws but goddamn was it a ton of fun to play.

[@wesleyevans2981]

Now that Double Fine is owned by Microsoft, I can see a sequel and/or remake happening. With the game now being on Game Pass, there should be increased interest in it.

[@allenharper2928]

"What can you do with a bunch of kids who just bang their heads all day? **Voice breaking with emotion"* "You start a revolution, Lars!"

[@sauldepasquale2295]

I played this when I was a kid and I still remember how fucking awesome this game was ! Thank you for not letting it die

[@hypertion]

honestly the likely reason we dont even have a remaster is due to the licensing costs involved in the games soundtrack, and even the gituar riffs for abilities...

[@silvershock2353]

A brilliant underrated game. if they did do a sequel i there are a lot of bands i would love to see get represented like Gloryhammer

[@G0spel_Raffi]

We can only hope. I think we need a fundraiser for this.

[@fuzznugget246]

Anything current talking about this game, I am in love.

[@grayson639]

Just started my third play through! I would throw so much money at a sequel!

[@ODST_Parker]

I randomly remembered this game recently, got it on sale on Steam, and I'm finally playing it myself for the first time. I absolutely love it, and I hope it gets some attention some day, maybe even a sequel. With Psychonauts 2 being as good and successful as it is, I can still hope.

[@TradingCardsAndMore]

Great video dude! Still hope we get that sequel one day too! Replaying it at the moment 🔥

This was my favorite game when I played Xbox 360.

[@brkgkc4953]

Thank you for great news, this game have really specially place in my heart. I've never felt this much excited about any other games that i've played before.

[@Bluemayje]

Psychonauts 2 just recently got released and currently doing very well. I really want to see this game get a sequel and I know it would do well if the developers addressed some of the weaker elements of the original while pumping up the things that made it great. Not to mention there is a plethora of great heavy metal songs and references out there that they could use. Shame that Lemmy wouldn't get to reprise his role as the Kill Master and I have no clue if Ozzy would come back, but there's still a lot of potential in Brutal Legend 2.

[@NitroGummyBear]

Hope. There’s hope

[@FourTHat3]

Juat bought the game during Summer Sale and even finished it within 25 hours on Brütal difficulty including side quests, I think this is one of my favorite games of all time behind Uncharted, like hack and slash? Rock and metal music? Real time stratergy? Metal actors and recognized voice actors? Combined into one game? That’s unheard of!

[@angellemus7304]

To this day I love this game still, I played this game ever since I was a child. It was one the first games I got for my ps3. I really hope this game gets a sequel or at least a remaster/remake.

[@gentletal5101]

I LOVE this game. I love it so much I bought it 5 times, 2 for pc, 2 for ps3 and 1 time for xbox. I do t understand why there is such a small amount of ppl playing this, this game is god tier

[@e.j.2578]

Awesome vid! I hope we finally get a sequel. The game deserves a sequel at a minimum

[@TackyKnacky]

I fucking loved this game as a kid. Even today i still play from time to time. Its still one of my favourite games today. Not a lot of people seem to like the RTS and Hack 'n' Slash hybridisation but i love it! Its the only game that merges the two genres and as a result became something truely unique. Brutal legend is a real diamond in the rough and a one of a kind experience. If you havent played the game, treat yourself.

Just bought the game today on Steam and installed it on my work laptop, in my opinion it still looks amazing having aged very well. This is together with Monkey Island-series one of my favourite games ever.

[@Pico_lo_do_sho_no_do]

toes, nose and fingers crossed for a next one.

[@maulwurf11011991]

The soundtrack to the game is still the best metal compilation album ever imho

This game BURNED itself into my mind after I watched the first gameplay vid as a kid in middle school over a decade ago. I still hold hope about getting a sequel to this which was renewed when psychonauts finally got their official sequel released

RIP Lemmy Kilmister, everyone will always remember the Kill Master

Should have also mentioned Rob Halford from Judas Priest who voices two characters and Jack Black's band mate from Tenacious D Kyle Gass.

[@Trapshack]

this is such a marvelous game!! i love ittt holy gosh!

[@nilo5747]

In regards to a lack of a minimap, I felt it wasn't needed. The game world isn't that massive, and the landmarks, along with the biomes give you a good sense of awareness of where you are in the world. In a larger world map where the biomes all look the same, I can see a good use for a minimap, but with Brutal Legend, I never once got lost enough to feel I needed to look at the map.

[@loonielonnie]

One of my favorite games of all time

[@CptNoms]

I love the hell out of this game the only downside was so short and sucked you cant replay the missions easily. I really want to see other genres of music in a sequel like Country, Rap, Jazz, and such to act as the other factions.

Bro this game was EVERYTHING.

[@chietattoos]

2023 still praying for the metal gods for a sequel where zakk wylde and dimebag would be included

[@SnowyTurtleXD]

This is my favourite game of all time and developed my taste in heavy metal. I played it when I was younger but I rebought it for like $2 on pc last year and I still play it almost every month. You can see the passion and artistry put into this game and I'm still finding small bits about the game I never saw before. If only people saw through the RTS, it probably could have been game of the year. All I know is the second a sequel is announced I'm preordering the fuck out of it 😆

[@urglefloggahthethird1202]

I loved this game! Not really a metal head, but the genre has its place, and the game was fantastic! I have to agree with some of the critics, though, that the FPS elements were nowhere to be seen in the promotion material and were rather confusing when first introduced. With the breakthroughs that have been made since, however, and game armies pretty much able to handle themselves (give a wee wave AC Valhalla) while the hero blunders around and does their own thing that could be an interesting direction to take things.
