Multiplayer details revealed
News posted by Ryan on August 13th, 2009 at 1:47pm GMTWe’re heard bits and bobs about Brutal Legend‘s multiplayer component for a long time, however how exactly it’ll play out has been a bit ambiguous — especially considering how multi-dimensional Brutal Legend‘s gameplay seems to be in general!
IGN has cleared things up with an extensive hands-on preview of Brutal Legend‘s multiplayer, complete with five in-game videos. Although I don’t typically go for console multiplayer, this definitely looks like it’s been put together well. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that a lot of the single-player gameplay was probably balanced to perfection in the multiplayer environment before being integrated into the story.
Also of note is that the three teams — Ironheade, The Drowning Doom, and The Tainted Coil — all have their units described in detail. Most of them are already on the ‘Enemies & Minions’ page, but lacking the specifics IGN’s article contains. Some new screenshots, too!
Update
[August 14th, 2009 at 9:20am GMT+1] Several more previews of Brutal Legend‘s multiplayer have hit the Community Tracker if you’re interested in seeing what other sites think of it. Pretty much all positive!
Awesome, I just hope enough people play it on ps3
Wow, and it looks like they have upgraded their shaders a little!
Chuck, i’ll play it on PS3, add xRenZx as a friend if you want to play Brütal Legend online.
Amazing, its all I can say. Brutal Legend looks like it has no flaws, the multiplayer was the only part I was worried about for the longest time but the last couple preivews have showen it to be totally killer!
Woot, the multiplayer looks awsome, happy about it….. game is gonna be freekin epic
Multiplayer looks SWEET!, oh, and anyone notice Doviculus’ crazy 4-necked guitar
Didn’t spot that, but I did notice that Doviculus apparently forgot how to do everything while Eddie was smacking him down. I do hope he puts up more of a fight in single player.
PS3 version i’ve pre-ordered off gamestop
looks amazing, can’t wait until Rocktober
wow brutal legend must have alot of bugs and glitches if thats all there doing it wouldnt take until rocktober would it?
Well i dont think it has alot of bugs and glitches…. although almost every game does…. i think they are just making everything run more smooth and fun…. and its comin out on my birthday so im happy
