You’ve heard the rants from what you think are extreme fanboys. Seen the accolades laid upon a studio that seems to take forever–four years–just to make a single game. And witnessed the drama from Microsoft’s punt of Psychonauts to Activision’s trite and meaningless lawsuit (recently settled out of court). It’s all a bit crazy, but in truth there is a reason for all the fuss: It’s a Tim Schafer game.
In San Francisco last week at the Mighty Club, Schafer and Double Fine debuted a hands-on session of Brutal Legend’s multiplayer component, a distillation of the story campaign’s big band battles including all of the strange characters and vehicles from the single-player game and its strangely unique RTS gameplay. We got to play it. Hear Schafer narrative a demo, and watch the strangest looking RTS the world has ever known.
