Brutal Legend Sequel Could Happen if Psychonauts 2 Does Well

Then Psychonauts BETTER BE A FRICKIN SMASH HIT. I love Brutal Legend.

Why do we have to buy psyconaughts in order to get a Brutal Legend sequel? I never played the first psyconaughts so I don't have much hype for sequel, but I loved Brutal Legend, played on PS3 at launch and then bought it again the second it hit steam, didn't even wait for a sale. So... can't they figure out another way to see if people want Brutal Legend 2? The two games aren't even related. And if Brutal Legend has sold the best, why isn't it the one being considered for a sequel first?

EDIT:

In addition, really they could bring the idea to EA again and have a publisher help them with development again. If Brutal Legend sold decently I wouldn't think it would be that hard to convince them to fund it again.

buy a shit game to have the possibility of a good game later on, ill pass even though i really really want brutal legend 2.

Dear Tim,

No.

Owns Brutal Legend

I adored Brutal Legend, but I can't help but feel like this is a carrot on a stick to get Psychonauts (another game I liked, but not nearly as much as Brutal Legend) funded. It feels kinda, eh, sleezy to me.

I like Double Fine, i like Schafer, but i find what they are doing despicable.

So, basically, Double Fine stopped actually spending money to make games, the consumer is the ones that actually pays for it. It's a win-win situation for them.

I'm totally in for both. Brutal Legend was a fkn amazingly fun game from start to finish. Sure the RTS parts confused a lot of people, but perhaps with some more (optional) hand-holding it'll catch on more effectively next time.

Me playing Brutal Legend: Hey this is a cool action platformer set in a Heavy Metal album cover world *gets to strategy part* oh uh why?

It's just too bad Tim Schafer is in charge, you could give the man $20 for coffee and he'd come back with ten gallons of creamer and say he ran out of money.

Don't know why all the hate. The strategy parts of Brutal Legend were a little convoluted, but still enjoyable. Maybe get some help from Kuju, the people that made Battalion Wars, to streamline things a bit.

Brütal Legend was great, except some of the RTS parts, could of been done better. But otherwise a truly unique little gem.

Too little too late Schafer, with the crap you've pulled you won't get any of my money.

Please god no.

Brutal legend minus the random strategy stuff would be nice

i love both Psychonauts & Brutal Legend but since i was 3 ive always been a rock nerd so the inner rock geek in me would prefer Brutal Legend 2 but like Tim said "to raise money for that game will be tricky" but luckily for tim he has friends in the gaming industry that can help

As a metal head gamer...I NEED THIS GAME TO HAPPEN! I am gonna pledge as much as I can for it to happen! But for Psychonauts...no, sorry, it simply isn't my thing. I don't understand how the success of psychonauts is connected with Brutal Legend 2, which is a game with a legion of metalhead followers.

Haven't played the original games of either. Bring them over to the Xbox One for a reasonable price and I'll totally buy them!:D

And of course I know these are on PC, but that's not my preferred platform.

Riiiight. So now game development is ultimatum - "fund and buy game X if you want game Y"

As long as it doesn't have any of that wierd strategy parts.

Why know big name publisher help with Psychonauts 2?

Fingers crossed! I'd much rather a Brutal Legend sequel than Psychonauts!
