Comment on Mid game review: Brütal Legend (2009) PS3
frozengriever@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days agoThat’s cool, were you at Double Fine or EA? Was there a reason why they weren’t so open about the RTS? StarCraft 2 was just around the corner so I don’t think it was an issue with the genre.

Outsourced marketing agency working for EA.
They provided us with the videos and screenshots, early review copies and whatnot, but we weren’t privy to the full breadth of the game.
I personally played the demo on the PS3 and was taken aback when the game turned into an RTS as well upon playing the full game.
The gaming landscape was MUCH different then. People wanted serious, gritty games because they were cool. This was the MW2 era and everyone was chasing that. Brutal Legend being a quirky love letter to metal music wasn’t exactly going to sell gangbusters in hindsight.
