How about the real important questions, like whether or not the umlaut in the title will be pronounced or if it's just there for show?

It's as if someone combined ICE CREAM and BEER and made a GAME out of it, only rubbed on voluptuous titties filled with the PUREST ROCK KNOWN TO MAN.

Thought that the Psychonauts was good but not great. An bizarre concept that was hindered by fairly paedestrian platforming.
Didn't get a chance top play his Lucarts adventures though The only iffy thing I have with this game is Jack Black - I can go hot or cold to him But I love the concept its truly sounds awesome! |

I thought Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango were brilliant games, I was a huge fan of adventure (point and clickers) back in those days and I miss that genre of gaming that's faded away over the years.
Fingers crossed this project brings those ideals back to life somewhat, or at least the amusing/interesting worlds that those games inhabited. |

Ah man, Day of the tentacle and Grim fandango. How many times I replayed those two I simply can't count.
Nothing but love for the Schafer. Nothing but love. |

Ah, so Peter Molyneaux needs to say 'awesome' more often for people to like him?
Isn't a heavy metal world the standard fantasy setting of games? Not to put the chap down, he's done bloody brilliant games in the past (really, really bloody ace), I just don't count that universe as much of a selling point at the moment. (Fixed the typo.)

"Ah, so Peter Molyneaux needs to say 'aswesome' more often for people to like him?" Nah, he just needs to produce some of the best games in gaming history, whilst not promising the earth but delivering it. Having said that, PM is no slacker on the classics front (Fable/Fable2, Populous, Syndicate). |

YES! Yes you should! He's one of my favourite game devs/producers/directors(really what is his title though?) and there for among the best... in the world... EVER!.
Infact go play 'day of the tentacle' or 'grim fandango', still as good as today as they ever were because of their style. The world of Metal meets the world of Tim Schafer how could you not be excited about this game? |

"Am I missing something here? Never heard of him or any of his games :("
He's never been a bigmouth with respect to his work, and has done only a few games over a long period, but the games have been simply awesome.. Any game that allows you to go back in time and steal George Washingtons wooden teeth has to be made of lines of pure, uncut win presented on a mirror with a rolled-up tenner on the side. "Should I be excited for his next one?" My advise would be to not taint expectations with hype, but it's hard to not get excited about seeing more Schafer madness. |

To this day I still keep meaning to start the Lucasarts adventure games. I have a huge backlog of games already anyway but most are sequels or spin offs of series I'm already into, whereas I have yet to play through even one of the Lucasarts adventure games. Essentially all of them should really be on my to do list. And I just know I'm going to enjoy them. The only one I physically own is Grim Fandango, and a recent Neogaf topic on it got me thinking I should finally start it.

Am I the only one who hated Psychonauts?
Terrible gameplay, awful level design, wonky controls, aand imo just unfunny... i guess the milkman level was (conceptually) cool though... |

I make it a point to always pronouce the umlaut in the various band names properly. Like Motörhead (Mot[ø]rhead), Mötley Crüe (M[ø]tley Cr[y]e) and Spın̈al Tap (Spi[ŋ]al Tap). So Brütal Legend inevitably becomes Br[y]tal Legend. :)

oh man I can't wait !
Tim Schaffer's games are so uuunnngh. I played Psychonauts very late, in 2007, the same year than other masterpieces including Okami, Shadow of the Colossus or God of War 2. But the adventures of Razputine were definitely my GOTY. And with Jack Black above that ?! Sweet Jesus Lord of Mercy And kudo to EA for their support to a new IP despite the current crisis |
