GDC09; Some rockin’ Brütal Legend screens
Salvaged by EA from the potential rock scrap-heap when Activision merged with Blizzard, we’ve kept a keen eye on plucky underdog Brütal Legend.
The game that almost wasn’t hits our shelves in Q3 so it was good to see some new screenshots appear during this year’s GDC and, never stingy with the content, we’ve made them available for you below.
The artistic style is very much a playful take on the whole rock genre with the obligatory big hair, crazy side-burns and comely groupies all on show.
What’s also interesting to note is that designer Tim Schafer’s imitable style is very much in effect with subtle similarities from Schafer’s previous games like Grim Fandango and Psychonauts popping up in the creature models and overall aesthetic of the game.
Do these images make you want to reach for some hair-spray, eye-liner and tight jeans? Will Brütal Legend be thrashing its way on to you PS3 this year?
Apart from the gallery below, we also have a couple of character shots of Eddie himself.

Expect to throw up the horns in full metal glory this fall.
