Just you wait.

Oh and I suppose anyone w/ game informer could have read the article.
Yeah...

I mentally picture Jack Black covering Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song reading this.

thank you, baby jesus, for the handful of blessed souls who continue to make fun games in these dark times.

Tumerboy · Oct 2007

bounchfx · Oct 2007

oh my

aesir · Oct 2007

yea, i'd heard bout this. Im not a huge rock god type thing fan, but Im sure it'll kick ass and I'l be purchasing it.

Alright so let me get my head around this. We have a game in the vein of Overlord as created by Tim Schaeffer set in a medieval heavy metal world featuring Jack black, Lemy Kilmister, Rob Halford and Ronnie James Dio on voices and and a soundtrack of old and new metal songs by a bunch of big name metal outfits.

I think there is but one word to describe this: Awesomahj!

Oh man, this has serious potential

Cant wait to hear more

Jackablade his this on the head. It seems to have heavy rts influences. I really hope this is a big hit for Schafer. He's a brillant designer that has never really translated into the sales that Wright, Shiggy, or Spector has.

Holy fuck, this is perhaps the best thing ever...

Hito · Oct 2007

this game better work with Wiimote guitar hero controller.

Tulkamir · Oct 2007

Bah! Wii is not metal enough to handle this! (It's only on PS3 and 360 from the looks of things)

Besides, it's GH controller is the exact same as all the others. :P

ebagg · Oct 2007

This is going to be awesome, Tim Schafer's stuff is always awesome, and Jack Black as the protagonist's voice is icing on the cake!

Hito · Oct 2007

aim with the guitar and yank the wammy bar to blast enemies with waves of pure metal; play solos to summon minions; grab the controller by the neck and swing it for melee combat.

What more could you ask for?!

playing this game on average controllers like x360 and PS3 would be a crying shame. and the x360 GH controller doesn't have motion sensing capabilities.

Honolulu_Ninja · Oct 2007

For every awesome id

Steve Schulze · Oct 2007

Trailer is up. This certainly isn't going to recieve the unfair 'kiddie' label that Psychonauts did from those not in the know.

Actually the wii remote isn't used for to much. It's used for the star power triggered by it's accelerometer. Both the 360 and ps3 guitars have this functionality as well because they put an accelerometer in the controllers. The Wii version will rumble as well as play a little "ping" sound when you hit a bum note. I'm not sure if the 360 or ps3 versions rumble or not, but I'm pretty sure they don't "ping" for bum notes.

You can view it here as the VP for Hardware at Red Octane demos the new controllers.

I love that they chose "The Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath for the trailer! It takes me back to yesteryear watching Heavy Metal before you could get it on tape! This game is going to be so fucking great just on content alone!

Tumerboy · Oct 2007

looks fantastic. I will always love anything that comes out of Double Fine.

Steve Schulze · Oct 2007

I'm calling it now. Greatest game ever.

Haha, what a cool site! It's gonna be a long wait for this one

notman · Oct 2007

This looks damn cool. I hope it lives up to the concept

That site is damn cool also. Did any of you try scrolling your mouse on it? It revs the engine

Tim Schafer, anyone?
