Variety source: Brutal Legend move slowed by Activision/Blizzard

Well atleast we now know that it still exists and hasnt been purged by the dark clerics of Actibliz.

If I was on that developing team I would be so pissed to know that all my hard work could be for nothing.

Hopefully Brutal Legend finds a publisher.

This game must find a publisher. Ive been following this game for a while now.

...because no one bought Psychonaughts? Wiki says: Majesco revised their fiscal year projections from a net profit of $18 million to a net loss of $18 million, and at the same time its CEO, Carl Yankowski, announced his immediate resignation. By the end of the year, the title had shipped fewer than 100,000 copies, and Majesco announced its plans to withdraw from the "big budget console game marketplace".....as of June 14, 2007 Psychonauts had sold 400,000 copies (not counting digital distribution, or the Double Fine company store).

I would really like to see this game happen, though I can understand, given the low sales of Psychonauts, why Actibliz (or any publisher for that matter) would be reluctant to pick up Brutal Legend. To any of those publishers reading this, do me a favor real quick. Go pick up, and play at least two hours of Psychonauts. I'll wait.

Done? Now, you have seen how amazing that game was. I daresay it was one of the best games ever created in the history of the universe, and after playing it, I suspect you agree with me. Now, go publish Brutal Legend. You won't regret it.

I don't know why Psychonauts didn't sell better than it did. Bad marketing maybe? I do remember commercials for it though.... meh. The point is, that game was effin awesome, and Brutal Legend will be too if it ever gets finished, and released.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I firmly believe that the availability of demo's would have saved Psychonauts, I know once I actually played it I loved it.

So a demo for Brutal Legend would be a good start.

I hope Atari picks this up with Atari picking up every thing good these days plus with Phil I think this game would sell lots.

Also as much as I hate to say this Brutal Legend needs big lettering that says a Jack Black game.

Because the game will sell then to people that like JB and people that could care less that He is in the game like me. I just want to play the game and I think with his name on the cover the game will sell a lot more and that would be good news for a different and new IP.

It's nice to see ActiBliz take the evil overlord crown from EA.

I wish I hadn't heard of this game. I found out about it after it had been suspended and I would loooove it.

Activision: "Something new and exciting?! CANCEL IT!"

Fucking Activision

this looks like a game i would like to try, psychonauts turned me off

Boycott anyone?

What is going on with Activision lately? They are the top dog and they are denying potential money makers that have the core group excited? Like Ghostbusters and this game...

Seriously who is running the show over there?

Boycott what? Oh you want 11 million people to stop subscribing to WoW because of one game that a whole lot of people haven't heard of, good luck with that one. I think letting them know you are interested would have more of an effect... if somehow you could contact them.

I'm starting to think the problem is with the allknowing Tim. All his games have criticall aclaim and fan backing and yet, he just can't sell it. WTH?!

But man, is that Ice Age game gonna be awesome or what?
