New Tim Schafer game

[Mazy]

here's a link to a video of a guy showing off the record from the marketing/press kit he got: http://kotaku.com/gaming/clips/jack-bla ... 310349.php

I can't believe this guy was stupid enough to record it w/ his camcorder, the least he could've done was to rip it onto an mp3, you can't hear crap. My ears hurt now.

Was thinking of posting it, but he's such a fucking moron and I got a headache and so furious from watching it that I decided not to

Would love to have actually heard the record though.

after psychonauts doublefine and tim have a lifetime "warby buys on first day" subscription

Yeah, I really hope Vivendi push it hard. With Jack Black's central involvement and the whole game having a rock 'n' roll theme they at least have a pretty easy concept to summarise. Psychonauts wasn't exactly easy to sum up in one sentence and make it sound as great as it was.

I'm guessing a major part of Psychonauts' sales inadequacy was Majesco publishing it, who seemed to fuck up any large game they tried to sell; indeed, before Psychonauts they were only really known as a publisher of those budget games you see in all the bargain bins -- a totally different business and marketing model.

That video expresses 110% ass-kicking, I love it

mhm cutscene's don't really show a lot though, plus it doesn't even look like a good interpretation of hell?

i dunno, looks mediocre :X

[Thrik]

It's not meant to be hell; that's our world after having been ruined by demons (from hell).

The trailer itself might not show much, but it does show that:

a) Tim Schafer is doing another game that's got a more 'hardcore' tone like Full Throttle did

b) The game will be violent, which isn't so common in a Tim Schafer game (a chance for more extreme humour)

Combined with Tim Schafer's 100% track record of making legendary games it's not hard to see why people are excited.

I suppose if you take the trailer at face value it might not be so intriguing. It doesn't show what Tim Schafer is best known for: making funny games with superb storylines. We're talking about the guy responsible for much of the dialogue and story of Monkey Island here.

This won't be a game that takes itself seriously, and I'll eat my own cock if it isn't good as fuck.

I'll eat my own cock if it isn't good as fuck.

Hold him to this guys.
