Tim Shafer, o'yinning kreativ direktori, o'yinni yaratishga o'zining o'tmishdagi musiqiy tajribalaridan ilhomlangan. O'yin Eddi Riggzning xarakterini aks ettiradi, ovoz bergan va undan keyin yaratilgan Jek Blek, a roadi kimning badiiy asaridan ilhomlanib, hayoliy dunyoga ko'chiriladi og'ir metall albom muqovalari. Eddi dunyoning qutqaruvchisiga aylanib, pastga tushgan odamlarni a yordamida g'ayritabiiy hukmdorlarga qarshi boshqaradi jangovar bolta, uning Uchish V dunyoning sehrli kuchlariga tegadigan gitara va sozlash mumkin issiq tayoq.

O'yin, gibrid harakat-sarguzasht va real vaqt strategiyasi janrlar, sahna janglarini ham bitta o'yinchi, ham ko'p o'yinchi rejimida o'z ichiga oladi, bu erda o'yinchi o'z sahnasini himoya qilish paytida dushmanlarini mag'lub etish uchun qo'shinlarga buyruq berishi kerak. Qora rangdan tashqari, o'yinda og'ir metall musiqachilarining ovozlari, shu jumladan Lemmi Kilmister, Rob Xelford, Ozzy Osbourne va Lita Ford kabi boshqa taniqli shaxslar Tim Kori, shuningdek, o'yinga qo'shilish uchun Shafer tomonidan tanlangan yuzdan ortiq metall qo'shiqlar.

Brutal afsonasi odatda o'yin sharhlovchilari tomonidan yaxshi qabul qilinib, Shaferning og'ir metallardan ilhomlangan dunyoni ko'rish qobiliyatini va yozilishini va ovozli aktyorlarning chiqishlarini, xususan, Blek va Osburnni maqtashdi. Ba'zilar aksiyalarning gibrid o'yinlari va real vaqtda strategiya o'yinlari yaxshi aralashmagan deb o'ylashdi, ammo konsolni boshqarish cheklovlari va odatda har ikki turdagi o'yinlarda mavjud bo'lgan etishmayotgan xususiyatlarni ayblashdi.

O'yin

Brutal afsonasi uchinchi shaxs aksiyalar-sarguzashtlar o'yini o'z ichiga olgan real vaqt strategiyasi elementlar.^[4] O'yin ochiq dunyo bu Tim Shafer taxminan 40 kvadrat mil (100 km) deb ta'riflagan²) hududda.^[4] Aktyor bosh qahramon Eddi Riggsni boshqaradi, a roadi bir kuni u og'ir metal mavzusidagi xayolot dunyosiga tushib qolganini ko'radi. Eddi jangovar va transportda ishlatiladigan uchta vositani sotib oladi: "Ajratuvchi" deb nomlangan keng bolta, uning Uchish V o'z dunyosidan "Klementin" gitara, og'ir metallarga dunyoda sehr-jodu qilish qobiliyatiga ega va issiq tayoq Eddi quradigan "Druid Plow", ya'ni "Deuce".^[4] Klementindan "Solos" deb nomlangan sehrlar a o'ynashi bilan ijro etiladi mini o'yin ning notaga mos keladigan tomoniga o'xshash Gitara qahramoni yoki Rok-guruh qisqacha gitara riff; ammo, Eddi Klementin tomonidan ishlab chiqarilgan metallni doimiy ravishda ishlata olmaydi, chunki gitara uzoq vaqt davomida ishlatilishi unga sabab bo'ladi qizib ketish va gitara kuchini qayta ishlatishdan oldin pleyer sovishini kutishi kerak.^[5] Eddi, shuningdek, butun dunyoda ko'makdan tortib haqoratli sehrlarga qadar yashiringan ko'proq yakka narsalarni topishi mumkin. Futbolchi "deb nomlangan o'yindagi valyutani sarf qilishi mumkinYong'in o'lchovlari "Motor Forge" da har bir vosita uchun yangi qobiliyat va yangilanishlarni olish uchun topshiriqlarni bajarishdan olingan.^[6] Ushbu vositalar Eddi dushmanlarini olib chiqish uchun bir-biri bilan birgalikda ishlatilishi mumkin; masalan, pleer Clementine gitara-sini yaratish uchun ishlatishi mumkin pirotexnika dushmanni havoga uchirish va uni Ajratuvchi bolta bilan hujum qilish orqali ta'qib qilish. Muayyan holatlarda xo'jayin janjal, o'yinchi qarshi og'irliklar ushlab turgan boshoqli darvozaga xo'jayinni jalb qilish uchun "Deuce" tayoqchasini ishlatishi kerak va keyin og'irlikni yo'q qilish va jonzotning boshini uzish uchun Klementaynda "Earthshaker" harakatini o'ynashi kerak.^[4]

Ochiq dunyoda o'yinchi xaritadan va Deuce-ning burilish signallaridan foydalanib, ularni voqealarni rivojlantiruvchi missiyalarga yoki yon vazifalarga yo'naltiradi. Yon vazifalar shaytonga qarshi kurashish, Eddi ittifoqchilarini kutilayotgan hujumdan himoya qilish yoki zambarak operatoriga uning maqsadlarini aniqlashda yordam berish. Hikoyada futbolchi ixtiyoriy ravishda bajarishi mumkin bo'lgan 30 ta yon vazifa bilan taxminan 23 ta asosiy topshiriqlar mavjud.^[4] Shuningdek, o'yinchi teriga yoki zanjirga bog'langan haykallarni topish uchun o'yin dunyosini o'rganishi mumkin, ular Eddi uchun sog'likni mustahkamlash yoki o'yinning orqa qismining bir qismini ochib berishlari mumkin va vistalarda maxsus teleskoplar orqali ko'rishlari yoki ma'lum sakrashlarni bajarishlari mumkin. qo'shimcha yong'in hurmatlari. Shuningdek, o'yinchi o'zlarining ko'tarishi mumkin bo'lgan yodgorliklarni topishi mumkin, bu qo'shimcha ravishda og'ir metallarning qo'shiqlarini o'yin soundtrack-dan, Deuce radiosida ijro etilishi mumkin bo'lgan "Metall og'zi"; pleyer o'z mukofotiga sazovor bo'lgan yoki to'plangan qo'shiqlari bilan o'z to'plamlarini qo'shimcha ravishda sozlashi mumkin.^[4][7]

Ning bitta o'yinchi va ko'p o'yinchi rejimlari Brutal afsonasi O'yinchilar qo'shinlarga o'zlarining kontsert sahnalarini himoya qilish uchun boshqalarning sahnalariga hujum qilish paytida buyruq beradigan Sahna janglarini namoyish etishadi.

O'yinning bir nechta asosiy hikoyalari - bu Stage Battles real vaqt strategiyasi elementlar. O'yinchi, hanuzgacha Eddi ustidan nazorat ostida bo'lganida, yangi ittifoqchilar tug'iladigan ulkan sahnani himoya qilishi va ma'lum bir maqsad tugaguniga qadar ushlab turishi kerak. Aktyor Klementinning sehri orqali "fan geyzerlari" ga savdo kabinalarini qurish orqali hujumlar uchun armiyani yaratadi. Etarli muxlislar yig'ilgandan so'ng, o'yinchi har xil ittifoqchilarni chaqirishi mumkin, ularning har biri ma'lum miqdordagi muxlislarni iste'mol qilishi yoki kuchliroq ittifoqchilarni ishlab chiqarishlari uchun o'z sahnalarini yangilashi mumkin. Mangus nomi bilan tanilgan personaj ushbu qismlarni qurishda va sahnani yangilashda yordam beradigan "ovozli yigit" rolini o'ynaydi, shuningdek, o'yinchini dushman hujumlari to'g'risida ogohlantiradi.^[5] Aktyor o'z qo'shinlarini yig'gandan so'ng, ular raqiblarini qidirib topishi va hujum qilishi mumkin.^[8] Eddi butun qo'shinni bir nuqtani ta'qib qilish, hujum qilish yoki himoya qilish uchun boshqarishi mumkin va ma'lum vazifalarni bajarish uchun maxsus bo'linmalarning ixtisoslashgan otryadlaridan foydalanishi mumkin, masalan, to'siqlar haykallarni yo'q qilish uchun ularning boshlarini urishdan foydalaning.^[4] Shuningdek, o'yinchi Eddi ushbu janglar paytida to'g'ridan-to'g'ri jangda ishlatishi mumkin. Oxir oqibat, Eddi qanotli jinga aylanadi, u jang maydonlari ustida uchib, buyruq berish yoki hujum uyushtirish uchun qodir.^[5] Eddi arsenalidagi sehrlar uning qo'shinlari ishini boshqarishda yordam berishi mumkin, masalan, hujum mahoratini vaqtincha oshirish yoki qo'shinlar to'planadigan miting bayrog'ini yaratish, boshqalari esa dushman fraktsiyasining ishlashiga to'sqinlik qilish dushman parvozlarini olib tashlash yoki dushman yaratilishining oldini olish qisqa vaqt ichida birliklar. Eddi o'yinda uchrashadigan maxsus ittifoqchilarni o'z ichiga olgan har xil birliklarning har biri Eddi bilan birgalikda amalga oshirishi mumkin bo'lgan maxsus kooperatsiya harakatiga ega; masalan, Eddining birinchi ittifoqchisi Ofeliya, Eddi tomonidan Fastball Special uslubida dushmanlarga tashlanishi mumkin. Ushbu kooperativ harakatlar Stage Battle missiyalaridan tashqarida ham mavjud.^[4]

O'yin ko'p o'yinchi rejimiga ega, uni Shafer "sizning odatiy boshingiz bilan to'qnashuvlar stsenariysi jangi. Ammo o'qlar bilan" deb ta'riflagan.^[4] Ko'p o'yinchi rejimlari jamoaga asoslangan bo'lib, bitta o'yinchi Stage Battles singari o'ynaydi, jamoaning kattaligi birdan to'rtgacha va to'rtdan to'rtgacha.^[7][9] Har bir jamoa qaysi guruhlar va qaysi qo'shinlarni chaqirishi mumkinligiga ta'sir qiladigan uchta guruhdan birini tanlaydi va boshqa jamoaning hujumidan o'z sahnasini himoya qilish vazifasini bajaradi. Mavjud uchta guruh - Ironheade, asosan Eddi Riggz boshchiligidagi odamlarga asoslangan qo'shinlar; Cho'kayotgan azob, ko'proq Ophelia boshchiligidagi Goth / Black Metal jonzotlari bilan; va Doviculus tomonidan boshqariladigan yovuz jonzotlar.^[10] Har bir o'yinchi bitta asosiy avatarni boshqaradi, u jangovar va sehrli sehrlar uchun asosiy o'yinda bo'lgani kabi qobiliyatlarga ega, shuningdek xarita atrofida ucha oladi, shuningdek, jamoaning umumiy resurslaridan chaqirilishi mumkin bo'lgan qo'shinlarni nazorat qiladi - yaratilgan muxlislar. xarita bo'ylab fan geyzerlari tomonidan.^[11] Har xil turdagi qo'shinlar mavjud, ular turli xil muxlislarni chaqirishlari kerak, chunki ular turli yo'nalishlar bo'yicha yaxshilangan qismlarga o'tishlari mumkin. Chaqirilishi mumkin bo'lgan qo'shinlar soni va turlari ikkala jamoani haddan tashqari kuchsizlanishiga yo'l qo'ymaslik uchun chek bilan cheklangan. Barcha qo'shinlar bitta o'yinchi o'yinidagi kabi har xil "Ikki jamoali" harakatlarni boshlash uchun o'yinchi tomonidan jalb qilinishi mumkin. O'yin, shuningdek, beshta qiyinchilik darajasidan birida kompyuter-kontroller raqiblari bo'lgan bitta o'yinchi tomonidan o'ynalishi mumkin.^[12]

Sinopsis

Belgilar

Brutal afsonasi Eddi Riggzning hikoyasini ta'qib qiladi (ovoz bergan Jek Blek ), kim "dunyoning eng yaxshisi" roadi dunyo uchun "uchun" eng yomon 'og'ir metall 'band ", Kabay Boy.^[4][13] O'yinning aksariyati o'yin mifologiyasiga ko'ra Ormagöden, The Abadiy Firebeast, Sky Cremator va Ancient World of Destroyer tomonidan yaratilgan og'ir metal musiqasidan ilhomlanib, noma'lum dunyoda bo'lib o'tadi.^[4] Ushbu muqobil dunyoda, insoniyat jinlar poygasi qulida, Dovikulus, bulg'angan lasan imperatori boshchiligida (tomonidan aytilgan) Tim Kori ). Dovikulusga yordam beradi glam metall inson minioni, general Lionvayt (tomonidan aytilgan Rob Xelford va asoslangan Devid Boui nomi glammetal tasma uchun kinoyadir Oq sher ) kimning sochlari shunchalik katta va "xushbichimki", u uni uchib yurish uchun ishlatadi va uni bir juft keng qanot singari silkitadi.^[14] Dovikulusga qarshi kurashda etakchi kuchlarni birlashtirgan insoniy qarshilik ko'rsatuvchi kichik guruh bor: Lars Xelford (ovoz bergan Zak Xenks ), uning singlisi Lita (ovoz bergan Ket Sousi ) va Ofeliya (tomonidan aytilgan Jenifer Xeyl ), Eddi unga romantik qiziqish bildiradi. Ularning guruhiga keyinchalik sahna menejeri Mangus qo'shildi (Aleks Fernandes ), bas-o'ynaydigan shifochi Kill Master (tomonidan aytilgan va undan keyin naqsh solingan) Lemmi Kilmister ),^[15] mototsiklda harakatlanadigan Fire Baron (shuningdek, Xelford tomonidan aytilgan, shuningdek, uni vizual tarzda ilhomlantirgan),^[14] va Amazon Rima (tomonidan aytilgan Lita Ford va asoslangan KISS belgilar).^[14] Shuningdek, Eddi "Metal Guardian" ni qo'llab-quvvatlamoqda (ovoz bergan Ozzy Osbourne, shuningdek, u o'zining tashqi qiyofasini xarakterga moslashtirgan), bu uning jihozlarini yangilashga yordam beradi.^[15]

Uchastka

Kabay Boy uchun kontsert paytida, Eddi guruh a'zosini qutqarishga urinayotganda, sahna ko'rinishlari qulab tushdi; uning qoni belbog'dagi tokka tushadi, aslida Ormagöden uchun tulki. Sahna Ormagödenga aylanadi, u guruhni o'ldiradi va behush Eddi og'ir metallarga olib boradigan dunyoga olib boradi. Ormagoden ibodatxonasida uyg'ongan Eddi, Dovikulusning kuchlariga qarshi kurash olib borayotganda, Ofeliya bilan uchrashadi. Ular Titanlar tomonidan qoldirilgan Eddi tushuna oladigan yozuvlarni kashf etadilar va ma'baddan qochib, Lars boshchiligidagi odamlarning qarshilik ko'rsatadigan kichik kuchlari uchun asos bo'lgan Bladehenjga sayohat qilish uchun foydalanadilar. Lita. Ular Eddi bilan uchrashib, uning Titanlarning xabarlarini tushunishini bilganlarida, ular uni payg'ambarlik bilan tanlangan "Tanlangan kishi" deb bilishadi, garchi "tarjima haqidagi tortishuv" ularni dunyoning xaloskori yoki yo'q qiluvchisi bo'lishiga ishonchsiz qoldirsa ham.^[6][16] Ofeliya Eddi jang qizg'in paytida qanotli jonzotga aylanganda ham, Edi o'sha paytda o'z foydasi uchun foydalanishga qaror qilganida xavotirga tushadi.

Eddi Lars, Lita va Ofeliyaga "Lionxayt" ga qarshi kurashish uchun "Ironheade" nomli qo'shin yaratishda yordam beradi.^[4] Ular Lionvitning "Pleasure minorasi" ga muvaffaqiyatli hujum qilib, uni mag'lub etishdi. Biroq, ular nishonlashganda, Doviculus keladi, guruhni yashirishga yuboradi. Doviculus o'zining josusi "Succoria" ning mavjudligini uning qoni hidi bilan ma'badda bo'lgani kabi biladi; Eddi va uning ittifoqchilari Ofeliya Dovikulusning josusi ekanligiga ishonishadi. Lars Doviculus bilan yuzma-yuz yurgan joyini tark etadi, ammo tezda o'ldiriladi. Nopok lasan minorani yo'q qilar ekan, Ironheade yaqin atrofdagi tog'larga qochib ketadi; Eddi, Lita bilan birgalikda sevishlariga qaramay, Ofeliyani ortda qoldirib ketishga majbur. Ofeliya qalbini ezgan Qora ko'z yoshlar dengiziga, insoniyat uchun g'ayritabiiy qobiliyatlarni beradigan la'natlangan suvlarga tortiladi. Qora suvga sakrab chiqqandan so'ng, Dengiz qorong'ulikni yaratadi doppelganger Boshqa qora ko'z yoshlari bilan buzilgan odamlarning qo'shinini yig'adigan Ofeliyadan goth "Cho'kayotgan azob". Uch oydan keyin u Ironheade tog'li lageriga hujum uyushtiradi. Ironheade hujumni mag'lubiyatga uchratgan bo'lsa-da, Eddi o'z xavfini tugatish uchun dengizni yo'q qilish kerakligini aniqladi. Ular ekzotik mamlakatlar bo'ylab sayohat qilib, piromanik otash baronlari va amazoniyalik Zauliya qabilasidan ko'proq ittifoqchilarni topar ekan, Eddining otasi, bu davrda Riggnarok nomi bilan tanilgan qahramonning dalillariga duch kelishadi. Unda Riggnarok kelajakda odamlarning jinlarga qarshi olib borgan kurashida o'tmishni qaytarish uchun titanlarning sirlarini o'rganishga harakat qilgani, ammo qaytib kelmaganligi aytilgan.

Ironheade yangi ittifoqchilari bilan cho'kayotgan azobni Qora ko'z yoshlar dengiziga qaytarishga muvaffaq bo'ldi; mag'lubiyatga uchragan Ofeliya Eddining Dovikulusning josusi ekanligiga ishonishini rad etadi va yana Eddi xoin deb da'vo qiladi. Ular bahslashayotganda, Dovikul keladi va Sukkoriya Ofeliya emas, balki Eddining onasi ekanligini tasdiqlaydi. O'tmishda, bundan ham dahshatli jin imperatori Sukkoriya ham kelajakda Titanlarning sirlarini qidirdi. Biroq, buni aniqlagandan so'ng odamlar oxir-oqibat dominant turga aylandi, Succoria chuqur umidsizlikka tushib qoldi. Vaqti-vaqti bilan Sukkoriyani o'ldirish uchun unga ergashgan Riggnarok, uning azob-uqubatlarida unga achindi va ikkalasi sevib qolishdi va Eddi tug'ishdi. Endi o'tmishda Eddi jinlarning tabiati bilan ajralib turdi va Dovikulga ham Titans sirlarini beixtiyor ochib berdi. Dovikulus bundan buyon Ophelia uchun foydasi bo'lmay, uning yuragini yorib yubordi va kuchlarini o'z kuchi bilan bir qatorda olib, Ofeliyaning tarqalishiga olib keldi. Ironheade Doviculus kuchlari bilan jang qilar ekan, Eddi Doviculusni yakkama-yakka to'qnashuvda qatnashadi va bu jinlar imperatori bilan tugaydi. boshni kesish. Eddi Dengizdan qochib qutulganida, Ofeliyaning yuragini Dovikuldan qutqaradi, onasining birinchi uchrashganda unga bergan marjonini o'z ichiga oladi, so'ngra haqiqiy Ofeliyani okean tubidan qutqarishga kirishadi. Dengiz qirg'og'ida ular o'z sevgisini qayta yoqadilar, chunki Ironheade Doviculus va bulg'angan lasan ustidan g'alabasini nishonlamoqda. Bladehenjga qaytib, Larsga haykal o'rnatiladi, Lita esa qolgan jinlarga qarshi qo'shinlarni boshqarishda davom etmoqda. Eddi o'zining "roadi" mavjudligini saqlab qolish, parda ortida qolib, boshqalarga yaxshi ko'rinish berishini ta'kidlamoqda. U yig'ilgan do'stlariga ketmasligini va'da qilgandan so'ng, Eddi bir nechta topshiriqlarni bajarish uchun jo'nab ketdi, Ofeliya quyosh botishi bilan haydab ketayotganini ko'rib, bitta qora ko'z yoshini to'kdi.

Rivojlanish

Ijodkor Tim Shafer u a og'ir metall musiqa O'rta maktabdan beri muxlis va royidlar uni uzoq vaqtdan buyon maftun etib kelishgan.^[18] Shafer 2007 yilda aytganidek: "Bu ism o'n besh yildan ko'proq ilgari men o'ylagan birinchi narsalardan biri edi. Men avtobusda ketayotgan edim, biz ishlayotgan narsaga mutlaqo zid keladigan o'yin haqida o'ylardim, Maymunlar orolining siri [a Lucasfilm o'yinlari unvoni 1990 yilda chiqarilgan]. Va Brutal afsonasi mening boshimga sakrab tushdi. O'shandan beri men bu nomga osilganman ".^[19][20] U "u erda eng qiyin xayoliy narsa kabi" yangraydi deb ta'riflagan sarlavha,^[17] dan foydalanadi metall umlaut. O'yinning g'oyasi birinchi marta Schafer-ga chiqarilishidan o'n besh yil oldin paydo bo'lgan, ammo uning asosiy tushunchalari tugagandan so'ng to'liq birlashmagan. Psixonavtlar (2005), u o'yin haqidagi g'oyasini jamoaga taqdim etganida, ular kontseptsiyadan hayajonlanib, o'zlarining navbatdagi sarlavhasini berishga qaror qilishdi.^[17]

Brutal afsonasi Double Fine studiyalari asoschisi Tim Shaferning ijodiy ilhomiga asoslangan edi.

O'yin ilhomining bir qismi metall guruhlarning so'zlari va albom muqovalari nazarda tutilgan, ammo kamdan-kam hollarda buni amalga oshiradigan fantaziya dunyosidan kelib chiqdi. musiqiy videolar Shunday qilib, ruxsat berish Brutal afsonasi bunday ilmning "va'dasini bajarish".^[18] Shafer shuningdek a Megadet Toni ismli roadi u bir vaqtlar unga roadi haqida o'yin yaratish g'oyasini berganidek tanishgan, Eddi Riggzning xarakteri uning qayta o'ylab topilgan versiyasiga aylangan.^[20] Shafer ilgari Hoagie xarakteri bilan qaytarib yuborilgan roadi g'oyasini o'rgangan Tentacle kuni, lekin Brutal afsonasi uni yanada kengaytirish imkoniyatini namoyish etdi.^[21] 2003 yilgi film Rok maktabi Shaferga uning g'oyasini ham eslatdi Brutal afsonasiva uni nashr etishni yanada hayajonlantirdi.^[22] Double Fine-ning o'yinni rivojlantirish falsafasi ham buning yana bir sababi edi Brutal afsonasi "Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, uning jamoasi har bir o'yinni kompaniyaning avvalgi versiyasidan farqli o'laroq, farqli o'laroq qilishga harakat qilmoqda Brutal afsonasi ga Psixonavtlar.^[23] Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, tijorat aloqalari Brutal afsonasi, masalan, "issiq bolalar va Jek Blek" bu falsafaga bog'liq va bozor bosimi tufayli emas. Shaferni tijorat muvaffaqiyatlari tashvishga solmadi Brutal afsonasi, yomon sotilishiga qaramay Psixonavtlar, "agar siz ajoyib o'yin qilsangiz, noshirlar siz bilan gaplashmoqchi".^[23] 2006 yildan oldin Shafer o'yinni o'ynab yurganida, u o'yin uslubini o'zgartirish haqida fikr oldi Hip Hop yoki mamlakat. U kredit beradi Harmonix musiqa tizimlari ta'sir qilish uchun ritm o'yini keng miqyosda muvaffaqiyatli bozorga chiqish orqali Gitara qahramoni metall musiqani qattiq ta'kidlagan saundtrek bilan; ning mashhurligi bilan Gitara qahramoni, metallga yaqinlashish Brutal afsonasi osonlik bilan qabul qilindi.^[18]

Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, musiqiy atamalar ilhomlanib hujumlar mavjud, masalan, gitara yakkaxon musiqasi, bu dushmanning yuzini eritib yuboradi.^[24] Metall / mototsiklchi turmush tarzi va Norse mifologiyasi Shuningdek, o'yinning ochiq muhitida, masalan, tog 'yuziga o'yilgan amperlar, shinalar barglar o'rnini bosadigan o'rmon, ulkan o'qlar va qilichlar yerni teshayotgan, spandeks bilan yopilgan ibodatxonalar va odam qullari tomonidan avtoulov va mototsikl qismlarini qazib olgan konchilik inshootlari. . Shu bilan birga, Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, ular metall bo'lmagan muxlislar ham hazillarni olishlari mumkinligiga ishonch hosil qilishgan.^[18]

Badiiy dizayn

Eddi Riggz uchun original belgi dizayni (tepada) kuchli modellashtirilgan Motörhead "s Lemmi Kilmister (pastki). Eddi ko'ylagi, ekipaj pasporti va sigaretaning imzo elementlari belgini qayta ishlashning bir qismi bo'lib qoldi.

O'yinning badiiy uslubi ishiga asoslangan edi Frank Frazetta va og'ir metalldan ilhomlangan va tosh albom muqovalari.^[18] Jamoa faqat badiiy asarga elementlarni qo'shishni, agar ular buni shunday muqovalarda ko'rish mumkin deb o'ylasalar, ko'rib chiqdilar.^[18] Sozlama o'z ichiga oladi issiq tayoq - "V8 Truffle Of Speed" singari yerdan o'sadigan dvigatellarga o'xshab, dizayni bilan yaratilgan Ed "Katta Dadam" Rot.^[25] San'at jamoasi "yana bir jigarrang-kulrang o'yin" ni yaratishdan qochishni va og'ir metall san'ati bilan bog'liq bo'lgan keng rang palitralarini ishlatishga intildi.^[25] Kutsenlar o'yinda o'yinlardan foydalaning dvigatel, dvigateldan oldindan yozib olingan ba'zi sahnalar ham avvalgi Tasha Xarris yordamida tayyorlangan Pixar sahnalar paytida personajlarning yuzlarini jonlantirishga yordam bergan xodim.^[6][7]

O'yinda asosiy qahramon Eddi Riggsdan tashqari 80 dan ortiq noyob belgilar mavjud.^[25] Riggs uchun dastlabki dizaynlar keyinchalik modellashtirilgan Lemmi Kilmister Va model o'zgartirilgan bo'lsa-da, imzo yelek, tur pasporti va sigaret belgi dizaynining bir qismi bo'lib qoldi.^[25] Belgining rivojlanishi davom etar ekan, ular musiqaning "g'ayratli muxlisi" Blekning xarakteriga ko'proq jihatlarni qo'sha boshladilar. Rok maktabi.^[21] Oxir oqibat, Riggz dizayni yarim Jek Blek va yarmiga aylandi Glenn Dansig.^[18] Badiiy guruh Blekning chiqishlari aks etgan videofilmlardan foydalanib, xarakterga qo'shimcha funktsiyalarni qo'shdi, masalan, "u qiladigan barcha aqldan ozgan narsalar".^[21] "Ajoyib sochlari" bo'lgan general Lionvayt va uning xizmatkorlari glam metall 1980-yillarning modasi, og'ir metallni Shafer va boshqa rivojlanish guruhi a'zolarining umidini yo'qotgan va o'yinning raqibiga aylangan.^[26] O'yinni o'ynash uchun ishlatilishi mumkin bo'lgan tushunchalar bilan yanada etuk o'yinni yaratishga yordam berish uchun san'at jamoasi og'ir metallarning turli qismlarini aks ettiruvchi bir nechta fraktsiyalarni yaratdi. Har bir fraktsiya o'zlarining "bo'rttirilgan, soddalashtirilgan shakllari va kuchli siluetlari" ga ega edilar, chunki har bir fraktsiyani ajratib ko'rsatishga yordam berish bilan birga rivojlanish xarajatlarini kamaytirdilar.^[25] Bunday fraksiyalar uchun ilhomlarni o'z ichiga oladi Nordic tasvirlari, goth metall va san'at asarlari Ieronim Bosch.^[25] Qo'shimcha belgilar qatoriga to'siqlar, "qabr qazuvchilar" va "jangovar rohibalar" kiradi.^[25] O'yin ikki soatdan ortiq nutqiy dialogni o'z ichiga olganligi sababli, badiiy guruh "toza, o'qilishi oson yuzlar" ni yaratib, qahramonlarning yuzlari va chiqishlarini ajralib turishni istaydi. Jamoa dastlabki karikaturali to'qimalardan belgilarning boshqa xususiyatlarini bo'rttirib ko'rsatishda yuqori aniqlikdagi displeylarda ajralib turadigan batafsilroq narsalarga o'tishi kerak edi.^[25]

Belgilar va ovozli ijro

Brutal afsonasi asosan Shafer tomonidan yozilgan 35000 dan ortiq nutqiy dialogni o'z ichiga oladi.^[29] Qora tashqari, Lemmy, Yahudo ruhoniysi Rob Halford, Qochqinlar Lita Ford va Ozzy Osbourne ushbu yo'nalishlarga xos ovozlarni taqdim etishadi.^[30][31]

Shaferning o'yin haqidagi dastlabki tasavvurlari taniqli aktyorlarni kutmagan edi.^[32] Xususan, Eddi Blekga o'xshagan bo'lsa-da, jamoa Jek Blekning ovozini olishni rejalashtirmagan edi. Blek Shaferning oldingi o'yiniga muxlislik qilganini bilib, Psixonavtlar, ular bilan uchrashdilar aktyor /musiqachi va u g'ayratli ekanligini tan oldi geymer va metall muxlislari va jamoaning o'yinda qilgan barcha tanlovlarini tushunib etishdi va keyinchalik imzo chekishdi ovozli ish.^[18] Blek shuningdek, o'yin ichidagi menyu ekranlari va qo'shimcha reklama materiallari uchun ishlatilgani kabi jonli harakatlar ketma-ketliklarini ijro etdi.^[33] Blek loyihaga ro'yxatdan o'tganidan so'ng, Shafer boshqa rassomlar va og'ir metall sahnasida ishtirok etadigan odamlar ushbu tadbirda qatnashishni juda istashganligini aniqladilar. domino effekti va og'zaki so'zlar, Shaferga ularni ovozli iste'dod sifatida yoki o'yinning soundtrack qismi sifatida imzolashga imkon beradi.^[32]

Lemmi, Shafer va uning jamoasi hikoyada qahramonning rolini rivojlantirgandan so'ng, "Kill Master" ni o'ynash uchun olib ketilgan edi bosh orqasida arfa maydalagich. Shafer uni asl bosh qahramon va soqolli odamni g'ayritabiiy deb topdi, bu esa uni bosh gitara chaluvchilarni o'ylab topishga va Lemmining bu rolni o'ynashini tezda anglashga undadi.^[14] Xelford General Lionvayt va Baron nomli ikkita obrazni ijro etadi. Shafer Xilfordning qichqiriq qobiliyatini ushlab qolish uchun Lionvitni tanlagan va uning qobiliyatlarini studiyada ular kutganidan yuqori darajada topgan. Ular "Baron" obrazini Xelford uchun maxsus yaratdilar, chunki Lionvit "og'ir metal" hisoblanar edi Styui [dan Oilaviy yigit ] ", bu belgi Xelfordga mutlaqo zid edi, baron esa Xelford va Yahudo ruhoniyning munosabatini aks ettiradi.^[14] Lita Ford "Amazonka o'xshash o'rmon ayollari" guruhining malikasi Rima; Shafer Rima tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan kiyimning etishmasligi va Fordning 1980-yillardagi liboslari o'rtasidagi o'xshashlikni ko'rib chiqdi va u rivojlanish guruhlarining u haqidagi xotiralariga sodiq qoldi.^[14] Osburn "The Guardian of Metal" rolini o'ynaydi, u o'yinchiga uskunalarini yangilashga yordam beradi; Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, bu obraz ham, Osburn ham qorong'i va g'amgin bo'lsa-da, "haqiqatan ham ko'ngli to'lgan" va "nekbin".^[15]

Eddi Riggzning xarakteri qisman keyinchalik modellashtirilgan Jek Blek, Eddi uchun ovozni kim beradi.

Garchi Ronni Jeyms Dio guruhning Dio o'yin uchun qismlarni ijro etgan edi, uning roli ovozli ish bilan almashtirildi Tim Kori.^[34] O'zgarish Osburn va Dio o'rtasidagi ziddiyatli muammolar tufayli bo'lishi mumkin deb taxmin qilingan bo'lsa-da, Shafer Dioning mo'ljallangan xarakteri "Dovikulus, bulg'angan spiral imperatori" o'sib borishi bilan ular Kori ushbu qism uchun rolga yaxshiroq mos kelishini aniqladilar va Kerri ning roli Zulmat Lord filmda Afsona asosiy omil sifatida;^[35] Keyinchalik Shafer Dioning qismi "chindan ham murakkab sabablar" va ularga bog'liq bo'lmagan boshqa holatlarning kombinatsiyasi tufayli kesilganligini aytadi.^[32] Shafer Dovikulusni "katta va qattiq" deb ta'riflaganda, Kori u uchun "mukammal" rolni ko'rib chiqdi, ammo bolta bilan urishganda og'riqdan baqirib yuborishi yoki zavqlanib qichqirishi mumkin bo'lgan bu jirkanch tomoni bor ".^[15]

Blekni loyihaga jalb qilish tajribasi singari, metall rassomlarining ovozini olish ham kutilmagan, ammo foydali bo'ldi.^[7] Bu ovoz yozish seanslari paytida biroz chalkashliklarga olib keldi; Lita Ford ham, Rob Halford ham "Lita Xelford" ismli personaj ishtirokidagi chiziqlarda qiyinchiliklarga duch kelishdi.^[7] Bundan tashqari, Blek ham, Osburn ham tez-tez ukol qilishadi haqoratli so'zlar yozuv seanslari paytida ularning stsenariy qatorlariga. Bularni qayta yozish o'rniga, rivojlanish ularni o'yinda qoldirdi, ammo o'yinchi tomonidan so'zlarni "qonga to'kib tashlashi" va bunday so'zlarni ekranda niqoblashi uchun yoqib yuborilgan kontent filtri variantini kiritdi. Ota-onalar uchun musiqiy resurs markazi "Ota-onalarga maslahat "yorlig'i, Shafer og'ir metall tarixining bir qismi deb hisoblagan ikonka. Shunga o'xshash filtr mavjud gore o'yinda, har qanday parchalanishning oldini olish va qonda o'yinni o'chirib qo'yish. Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, ushbu jihatlarni ko'rishni istamaydigan yoshi kattaroq o'yinchilar yoki yosh bolalar bilan o'yin o'ynashni afzal ko'rgan ota-onalar uchun o'yinga filtrlar qo'shilgan.^[36] Rivojlanish jarayonida Shafer o'yinda boshqa musiqachilar va guruhlar qanday bo'lishini tasdiqlay olmasa-da, aytilganlardan ko'pi borligini va ushbu musiqachilar teatrlarning ishlatilganligi sababli "xarakter yaratishda ayniqsa qulay" ekanligini ta'kidladilar. ularning kontsert dasturlari.^[37]

Kayl Gass, Blekning hamkori Jasur D, ovozda va yuzidagi o'xshashlikni o'yinda nevrotik zambarak operatoriga beradi.^[6] Komediyachilar Devid Kross, Stiv Ege, Brian Posehn va Uil Uiton shuningdek, o'yin uchun ovozli ishni ta'minladilar; Posehn ilgari Shafer bilan o'rta maktab gazetasida ishlagan.^{[33][38][39][40]} Devid Sobolov shuningdek, o'yinning boshqa rollari uchun ovozli aktyor sifatida tasdiqlangan; Sobolov o'z belgilarini Riggz bilan bevosita aloqada bo'lishiga qaramay, o'z chiziqlarini Blekdan ajratib yozganligini ta'kidladi.^[41] Richard Xorvits Shaferning oldingi o'yinida bosh qahramon Razni ovoz bilan aytgan, Psixonavtlar, Kabos Boyning etakchi gitara chaluvchisi va Eddiga ma'lum vazifalarni bajaradigan avtomobillarni ko'tarish operatori sifatida cameos. Keyingi ovozli aktyorlik ishi kabi faxriy video o'yin aktyorlari tomonidan ta'minlandi Zak Xenks, Ket Sousi, Dino Andrade va Jenifer Xeyl.^[14]

Rivojlanish tarixi

Shaferning so'zlariga ko'ra, Brutal afsonasi qurilishi tugagunga qadar 2007 yildan beri ishlab chiqilgan edi Psixonavtlar.^[18] Shaferning ta'kidlashicha Psixonavtlar, ular juda ko'p aktivlarni, shu jumladan belgilar va atrof-muhitni birlashtirishga urinishdi, lekin birinchi urinishdayoq ularni muvaffaqiyatli birlashtira olmadilar va ba'zilarini ishlab chiqishni boshlashlari kerak edi. Bir nechta hollarda Psixonavtlar, o'yin jarayonidagi o'zgarishlar, ularni qaytish va yangi xususiyatlarni hisobga olish uchun qayta rejalashtirishni talab qildi. Kompaniya boshida foydalanishga qaror qildi scrum ishlab chiqish yondashuvi uchun Brutal afsonasiUlar o'zlarining kompaniyalari madaniyati bilan yaxshi ishlashganini va har qadamda tezkorlik bilan o'ynaladigan maqsadlarga etib borishini ta'minladilar.^[33] Masalan, jamoa rivojlanganidan bir oy ichida o'zlarining er usti dvigatelini, rendererini va o'ynaladigan Eddi Riggzni, uchinchi oyga kelib esa Eddi dushmanlarning to'dalari ustidan yugurib, erni aylanib o'tish qobiliyatini oldi.^[33]

Shaferning ta'kidlashicha, ular rivojlanishni Eddi xarakteridan boshlashgan va u o'yinda nima qilish kerakligini tan olishgan, xususan, bolta atrofida aylanib yurish, gitara chalish va issiq tayog'ini boshqarish. Ushbu elementlarning kombinatsiyasini jangovar va umumiy o'yinlarda yaxshi ishlashi uchun topgandan so'ng, ular o'yinning qolgan qismini u erdan kengaytira oldilar, chunki bu elementlar o'yinni yoqimli bo'lishiga ishonch hosil qilish uchun sinov vositasini taqdim etdi.^[42] O'yin uchun ishlab chiqilgan birinchi asosiy xususiyat, multiplayer element edi, chunki Double Fine-ning avvalgi o'yinlarida ushbu xususiyat mavjud emas edi va bu o'yin uchun eng yuqori xavfli element edi.^[36]Ko'p o'yinchi o'yinining o'zi eski strategik o'yinlardan, xususan, 1989 yildan ilhomlangan Gertsog Tsvey; ushbu o'yinda o'yinchi o'zgaruvchan samolyotni boshqargan mecha Odatda yangi bo'linmalar qurish, boshqa joylarga havo kemalarini ko'tarish va jangovar harakatlarni boshqarish uchun buyruq berish uchun maydon atrofida uchib yurish mumkin edi, ammo o'yinchi bu hunarmandni ulkan robotga aylantirishi va to'g'ridan-to'g'ri jangga kirishishi mumkin edi.^[32][43] Uchun Brutal afsonasi, Shafer ikkiga bo'lingan rejimdagi RTS kontseptsiyasini saqlab qoldi, ammo er usti jangiga ko'proq e'tibor berishni xohladi; kabi 90% birliklarni boshqarish vaqtini sarflash o'rniga Tsvey, o'yinchi ushbu uslubda atigi 30% sarflaydi Brutal afsonasi.^[32] Bu keyinchalik sahna janglaridan tashqarida aksariyat harakatlarga va jangovar o'yinlarga olib keldi.^[32] 2015 yilgi intervyusida Shafer sahna janglaridan tashqari o'yinlarning aksariyati Sahna janglari uchun darsliklar berish va o'yinni RTS o'yinlari savdosiga ta'sir ko'rsatadigan tamg'adan qochish uchun o'yinni RTSga qaraganda aksiyalar-sarguzashtlarga aylantirish kerakligini aytdi. Bu ishlab chiqarish Vivendi-Activision qo'shilishi atrofida sezilarli darajada kengayishiga olib keldi va Double Fine yangi noshirlarni kengaytirilgan o'yinni moliyalashtirishga ishontirishda qiyinchiliklarga duch keldi.^[44]

Jamoa foydalangan Haqiqiy bo'lmagan vosita 2.5 real vaqtda strategiya elementlarining prototiplarini yaratish va sinovdan o'tkazish, dizaynerlar va o'yin dasturchilariga ishni boshlashga imkon berish, boshqa jamoa esa yangi o'yin dvigatelini yaratishga e'tibor berish.^[33] O'yinning ko'p bosqichli jangovar qismini birinchi bo'lib tugatgandan so'ng, Double Fine bitta o'yinchi kampaniyasi davomida asta-sekin o'yinchini yanada rivojlangan tomonlari bilan tanishtirishni osonlashtirdi.^[42] O'yin dunyosining katta o'lchamlari va xilma-xilligi o'yinni oqim qobiliyatiga ega bo'lgan dvigatelni talab qildi, bu esa o'yinni tarkibida kerak bo'lganda tarkibni yuklash va tushirish imkonini berdi - bu ham jamoaning ilgari tajribasi bo'lmagan narsa edi.^[36] Double Fine o'yin dunyosi uchun tarkibni yaratish jarayonini soddalashtirishga yordam beradigan bir nechta ichki vositalarni ishlab chiqdi: RoBert (sinov muhandislaridan biri nomi bilan) avtomatlashtirilgan sinov boti doimiy va doimiy ravishda o'yinni yaratish uchun yaratilgan. qat'iy sinov, har qanday xato haqida avtomatik ravishda ishlab chiquvchilarga xabar berish, ko'p foydalanuvchi-muharriri o'yin rassomlariga bir vaqtning o'zida bir-birining ishini yozishdan qo'rqmasdan o'yin dunyosida ishlashga imkon berdi.^[33] O'yinni rivojlantirish oxirida jamoa tarkibni boshqarish bilan bog'liq muammolarga duch keldi, chunki o'yinning aksariyat aktivlari tugash arafasida edi. Bir necha oy ichida aktivlarning umumiy hajmi uch baravarga oshdi va bu o'yinning "a" ga moslashish qobiliyatiga xavf tug'dirdi DVD va kompaniyaning rivojlanish tizimlarida ishlash muammolarini keltirib chiqaradi. Muhandislik guruhi yordamida ular oxir-oqibat ishlash muammolarini engib, bo'sh joy uchun tarkibni qayta optimallashtirishga muvaffaq bo'lishdi.^[33]

Mashhurligi bilan Gitara qahramoni va Rok-guruh franchayzalar, ko'pchilik hayron bo'lishdi Brutal afsonasi ushbu o'yinlarning gitara mavzusidagi tekshirgichlaridan foydalanishi mumkin. Shafer ushbu g'oyani xushnud qilar ekan, o'yinchilar uchun standart va gitara boshqaruvchilari o'rtasida bir necha bor o'tish uchun maqbul yo'l topa olmaganini, shuning uchun u undan voz kechganini eslatib o'tdi.^[45] O'yinni oldindan buyurgan futbolchilar GameStop Jek Blekning "Tenacious D" guruhi bilan birgalikda ishlab chiqilgan va Blek hamda Kayl Gass tomonidan taqdim etilgan ovozlarni o'z ichiga olgan maxsus reklama ichidagi gitara qulfini ochishga muvaffaq bo'ldi.^[46]

Esa Brutal afsonasi'taqdiri noaniq edi, Shafer, EA Partners o'yinni 2008 yil dekabrida boshlamaguncha, har qanday potentsial biznes bitimlarida muammo tug'dirmaslik uchun loyiha haqida gapira olmadi.^[18] Biroq, o'yinni nashr etish taqdiri aniq bo'lmaganida ham, jamoa uni rivojlantirish ustida ishlashni davom ettirdi.^[47] Shafer rivojlanish jarayonida noshirsiz o'tkazgan vaqt foydali bo'lganligi va noshirning maqsadlaridan bosim o'tkazmasdan o'yinni loyihalashtirishga imkon berganligini aks ettirdi.^[29] EA bosh direktori Jon Riksitiello, EAni olib ketish to'g'risida so'ralganda Brutal afsonasi 2008 yil dekabridan oldin tarqatish uchun "Ba'zan muhim ijodiy xatarlar dunyoning eng yaxshi mahsulotlariga aylanadi", deb izoh berdi.^[48]

Boshqa platformalar

Mumkin bo'lgan Wii porti haqida mish-mishlar 2009 yil mart oyida paydo bo'lganida, Shafer "Biz Xbox 360 va Brütal Legend-ning PS3 versiyasini tayyorlamoqdamiz" deb aytdi.^[49] Biroq, Ben Fritzning so'zlariga ko'ra at Turli xillik O'yinni boshqa konsol versiyalariga qaraganda kechroq bo'lsa ham Wii-ga olib kelish uchun Electronic Arts kompaniyasi tomonidan yana bir studiya jalb qilingan bo'lib, u xuddi shu modelga amal qilishi mumkinligini taxmin qilmoqda. O'lik makon: ekstraksiya, Wii sarlavhasi taxminan bir yildan keyin chiqarilishi rejalashtirilgan O'lik makon 'birinchi chiqish.^[50] However, further industry rumors, which claimed that the Wii version was being done by Electronic Arts in-house, have stated that the effort to port the game to the Wii has been canceled due to quality and technical concerns.^[51]

Initially after its release, Double Fine had not planned on a Kompyuter version of the game, as Schafer has stated that the game is primarily an action game and "meant to be on a console".^[7] However, in February 2013, Double Fine announced that a Windows version of the game will be released on February 26, 2013. The Windows port has been updated for higher resolutions of modern computers, and includes both DLC packs released for consoles.^[52] The multiplayer aspects of the PC version include a number of tweaks that Double Fine had tracked that they wanted to have made to the console version but could not do; while the full list of changes are not expected to be present in the initial PC release, Schafer has stated that if sales of the PC version are successful, they will look at adding new units, factions, and gameplay modes that they had originally scoped out for the console version.^[53] Mac and Linux ports were released in May 2013, premiering as part of the Humble Double Fine Bundle.

Davom

Double Fine believed they were given the go-ahead to develop a sequel to Brutal afsonasi after the game's release, and had invested a great deal of development time towards this, but were later told by EA that it was cancelled.^[54] Schafer stated that the sequel would likely incorporate much of what they had to drop prior to the game's release. This game world would have been three times larger than what Brutal afsonasi contained.^[29] The sequel would have likely included a fourth faction that was cut from the original game which would have been the last major group the player would have to fight through, including a major boss character, before the final battles with Doviculus.^[32] Schafer further noted that at the end of the original game, Doviculus' head falls into the Sea of Black Tears, and implied that the same effect that the Sea had on Ophelia could happen to Doviculus.^[32] Schafer also had ideas for a plot using a character voiced by Ronnie James Dio, but will not likely be used due to Dio's death.^[29]

The cancellation of the sequel nearly ruined Double Fine, as they had invested all current efforts toward the title.^[32] Instead of a sequel, Double Fine began work on four smaller projects, Costume Quest, Yig'ish, Temir brigada (ilgari nomlangan Xandaq) va Susam ko'chasi: Bir marta monsterga,^[55] based on prototypes they had created from "Amnesia Fortnights" during the development period where they had lacked a publisher. In these two-weeks sessions, the Double Fine team was split into four groups and each tasked with creating a small prototype game to share with the rest of the company; all four mini-games were well received internally. Upon hearing of the cancellation of the sequel, Schafer and his team began to promote these games around, and were able to obtain publishing deals for all four titles.^[56] The games will be able to take advantage of the custom game world engine and other assets they had created for Brutal afsonasi.^[54] The titles were considered financial successes, allowing Double Fine to recover and pursue further game development though steering away from major AAA releases.^[32]

As of 2013, Schafer is still interested in a sequel to Brutal afsonasi, but would require appropriate funding and resources to make it happen as an independent developer.^[53] Since then, Double Fine launched a successful crowd-funded drive for Psixonavtlar 2 2015 yil dekabr oyida; Schafer said that if that game does well, there is a good chance that a sequel to Brutal afsonasi mumkin bo'lardi.^[57] Tim Schafer said June 13 during an appearance at E3 2017 that Brutal afsonasi will eventually get a sequel.

Publishing issues

Brutal afsonasi was originally to be published by Vivendi o'yinlari 'sho'ba korxonasi Sierra Entertainment. 2008 yilda, Activision merged with Vivendi's game division (which included Blizzard Entertainment ) bolmoq Blizzard Activision, gaining the rights to publication of Brutal afsonasi. Upon evaluation of their assets, Activision Blizzard chose to drop Brutal afsonasi along with several other games, leaving the project in limbo.^[58] Activision kompaniyasining bosh direktori Robert Kotik later claimed the reason for dropping the project was due to: the project running late; missing milestones; overspending the budget and not looking like a good game.^[59] Double Fine themselves were unaware that Activision had chosen to drop the game, having been informed through an Activision press release that omitted the game from their upcoming release schedule, according to studio producer Caroline Esmurdoc.^[60] Industry rumors suggested that Elektron san'at was interested in publishing the property,^[61] and it was confirmed in December 2008 that Electronic Arts would publish the game.^[62] Qaysi davrda Brutal afsonasi's fate was unclear, Schafer was not able to talk about the project to avoid causing problems with any potential business deals.^[18]

In February 2009, Activision Blizzard had asserted that the Electronic Arts deal was invalid, believing that they were still in negotiations with Double Fine to publish the game. It was believed that Activision was seeking monetary compensation in a similar manner as it received from Atari uchun Arvohlar: Video o'yin va Riddikning xronikalari: To'q Afinaga hujum, games that were dropped when Activision Blizzard re-evaluated their assets.^[63] On June 4, 2009, Activision filed suit to prevent publishing of the game, claiming that they had invested $15 million in the title and still had a valid contract to release the game.^[64] Activision's suit also contends that Double Fine had missed a deadline for the game last year, requesting more time and an additional $7 million in development fees. Activision's considers both the loss of the money they spent on the game as well as potential sales and Brutal afsonasi-related merchandise as part of the harm done in the lawsuit.^[65]

In July 2009, Double Fine issued a countersuit against Activision, citing that the latter company had abandoned the project before, and was trying to harm Brutal afsonasi during its critical marketing phase, as well as trying to protect its Gitara qahramoni franchayzing.^[66] The countersuit stated that Activision had dropped the game after its merger with Vivendi and a failed attempt to convert the game into a Gitara qahramoni davomi.^[67] Schafer was infamously quoted as saying, in commenting on their actions, "Hey, if Activision liked it, then they should have put a ring on it. Oh great, now Beyons is going to sue me too."^[68]

In late July, the presiding judge, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Craig Karlan, reported that a preliminary ruling that could have affected the game's release would have been given on August 6, 2009, with Karlan tentatively ready to deny Activision's motion to delay the game.^[69] However, prior to the ruling, the companies announced they had reached an out-of-court settlement on the lawsuits, though details were not available.^[70][71]

Though most of the developers involved in the game were shielded from the effects of the lawsuit, Double Fine's Caroline Esmurdoc noted that it took a significant toll on Schafer and the other lead executives at the company.^[33] Activision's lawsuit had been filed at the time the game had reached the alfa release state, and would need to be concluded prior to the game's final release; this required the executives to dedicate their time towards information gathering, interviewing, and other legal matters "during the crunchiest, most critical time of development".^[33] As such, while they ultimately were able to settle the legal matter, Esmurdoc believed that the impact of the effort in settling the lawsuit impacted the quality of the final product.^[33] Schafer wrote more than 50% of the game's dialog in the few months following the completion of the lawsuit and prior to release, a "big crunch" for him.^[29]

Yuklab olinadigan tarkib

Schafer, prior to the game's release, stated that Double Fine had "something awesome" planned for yuklab olinadigan tarkib to further support the game after release.^[72] Two downloadable packs have since been released. The first, "Tears of the Hextadon", was released in early November 2009, containing two new multiplayer maps and a new single-player weapon. The pack was initially free on the PlayStation Network for the first two weeks of release.^[73] The second pack, "The Hammer of Infinite Fate", was released in mid-December 2009, and in addition to new multiplayer maps, expands the single-player experience by incorporating new weaponry for the Deuce, outfits for Eddie, a GPS system to track collectibles in the game's world, and other additional content, including figureheads of Razputin, the lead character from Psixonavtlar, and Schafer himself.^[74]

A promotional concert for the game was held at the 2009 Comic-Con International Convention in July 2009, and featured the metal artists Gvar, 3 dyuym qon, Unholy Pink, and Keyt Morris.^[80] It has also been announced that Brutal Legend was the official sponsor of the 2009 Mastodon /Dethklok ekskursiya.^[81] Schafer appeared on Tungi kech Jimmi Fallon bilan on October 2, 2009 to promote the game.^[82] Qora paydo bo'ldi Jimmi Kimmel Jonli! on October 14, 2009, dressed as Eddie Riggs and staying in character during his interview.^[83]

Soundtrack

Brutal afsonasi features 107 heavy metal tracks from 75 different bands, selected by Schafer and Music Director Emily Ridgway,^[86] each song being a "completely sincere choice" by Schafer and Ridgway,^[20] with the whole track list being "designed to be loved by Metal fans."^[86] Schafer sought to include songs from most main subgenres of metal, including classic og'ir metall, sanoat metall, qora metall va halokatli metall, with each faction in the game favoring a specific type.^[7] Though Schafer and others on the Double Fine team had vast knowledge of specific types of metal, Ridgway turned to a used-CD store owner named Allan from Aquarius Records who had "encyclopedic knowledge" of the entire genre, and who provided the team with sample CDs to help them discover some of the more obscure metal bands.^[21] Schafer had identified many of the more well-known songs on the list, while Ridgway was able to locate mission-appropriate, more obscure titles for inclusion; for example, one mission, given by the Killmaster (voiced by Lemmi Kilmister ), involves rescuing female troops for Ironheade's army; Ridgway had been able to locate a cover of "Bombardimonchi "tomonidan dastlab yozib olingan Motörhead (Kilmister's band) and performed by the all-female metal band Qiz maktab, recorded in their 1981 split EP Sevishganlar kuni qirg'ini.^[32] Schafer also credits Black with some of the music selections for the game.^[21] Instead of relying on labels or bands to provide them with a list of possible songs to select from, the development team sought permission to use specific songs they wanted in the game. In some cases, obtaining appropriate licensing proved difficult, as for songs from bands that had long split up, Double Fine needed to contact each band member to gain permission. This proved to be valuable, as some original bands were excited about their music being used in the game; in one case, Lita Ford was able to provide the game with a song with slight modifications to the lyrics from a version that she was about to release.^[42] One song is from the in-game band "Kabbage Boy" for which Eddie is a roadie at the start of the game.^[13]

Schafer had tried to get music from groups like Metallika va AC / DC, but their licensing fees were too high.^[32] He further tried to work with Temir hizmatkor, but the group was hesitant to participate after recognizing that the character name "Eddie Riggs" suggested an attachment with the band's mascot, named "Eddi " and designed by Derek Riggz; the band's marketing group pointed out that this could imply that Iron Maiden had endorsed the game.^[32]

In addition to licensed music, the game includes over 70 minutes of original score by Tim Schafer's long-term collaborator Piter Makkonnell.^[87] McConnell composed pieces for orchestra and Metal band to tie in with the licensed music in the game.^[21] Also, the in-game soundtrack contains an instrumental drum track played by Slough Feg drummer Harry Cantwell, all other "real" drums (6 tracks) were played by Y&T drummer Mike Vanderhule and recorded by Jori Prum.^[88][89] The solos triggered by the player during the game were composed and recorded by Yahudo ruhoniysi gitara chaluvchilar Glenn Tipton (Eddie's solos) and K.K. Downing (Ophelia's and Doviculus' solos).^[33] While Schafer would like to have a soundtrack album for the game, he stated that there were already difficulties in securing the licenses for songs within the game and was not sure if it would be possible to extend them to a soundtrack.^[7] Schafer helped to select three songs—"We Are The Road Crew" by Motörhead, "The Metal" by Tenacious D, and "More Than Meets The Eye" by Testament—to appear in a pack of Rok-guruh yuklab olinadigan qo'shiqlar that was made available the same day as Brütal Legend's ozod qilish.^[90]

The full soundtrack remained intact for Brutal afsonasi's addition to the Xbox One backwards comparability catalog in September 2018; Double Fine had assured all music licensing rights had remains in place for this release.^[91]

Brutal afsonasi received positive response from gaming journalists, with reviewers praising the story and characters of the game, and driven vocal performances of the voice actors, particularly Black and Osbourne. Daemon Hatfield of IGN felt Black was "completely committed" to the role of Riggs,^[102] esa Gigant bomba 's Ryan Davis found it relieving that Black reined in his typical "loud-talking heavy-metal goofball" act that he is known for and instead performed well, "bringing just the right amount of working-man's matter-of-fact-ness to the role".^[101] Osbourne's role was considered "amazing (and surprisingly coherent)" by GameSpot 's Giancarlo Varanini and "played brilliantly" by Kompyuter va video o'yinlar ' Andrew Kelly.^[96] The full cast was commended for their roles; the heavy metal musicians were effective at playing themselves in the game, while the other voice talent performed well and "[did] their part to balance out the star power" in the game.^[99] The strength of the characters was considered to be enhanced by the quality of writing of the story, and the use of facial animation.^{[96][100][102]} Evrogamer 's Christian Donlan considered the characters of Brutal afsonasi to be the strongest aspect to the game, distancing the title from other video games due to "rounded, personable leads who are distinctly superior to the usual throngs of cybermen and super-vixens", and a facet of Schafer's signature work.^[97] Simli 's Chris Kohler further attested the strength of the game's story to Schafer's skill, considering that "After Brutal afsonasi, he should be considered one of the best storytellers in gaming, period."^[104] 1UP.com 's Justin Haywald noted that the game lacks the ability to review cutscenes, forcing the player to restart the story if they wanted to see these again.^[95]

The heavy metal-inspired world of Brutal afsonasi was also well received, and considered to show a clear reverence for the genre. Jerald Villoriya GameSpy considered the game to be "dedicated to an unabashed love of metal" and "heavy metal fan-service to the highest degree".^[100] Davis believed that the juxtaposition of all the elements that made up the heavy metal fantasy world were the game's greatest strength, often being "both giddily ridiculous and fist-pumpingly badass" at the same time.^[101] Critics found that while the graphics for the game may not be the most sophisticated for the current console generation, the detailed art aspects of the world were impressive; Varanini considered that "no matter where you are in the world, there's always some cool object to look at",^[99] while Donlan considered the world to be a "constant unfolding delight".^[97] The incorporation of heavy metal music into the game also benefited the game. Both Kelly and Villoria considered the soundtrack essential to the game, and praised the moments where specific songs, such as Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames" would be used as background music during specific game sequences.^[96][100] Kelly further praised the game for using the songs to define the action of the game instead of relegated to random background music.^[96] Villoria also considered the soundtrack to have "enormous breadth of sound and diversity", introducing the player to heavy metal genres they may not have known even existed.^[100] G4TV 's Jake Gaskill considered listening to the soundtrack to be the equivalent of "taking a class in heavy metal appreciation."^[103]

The actual gameplay was seen as Brutal afsonasi"s largest weakness. Many reviewers were critical of the incorporation of real-time strategy (RTS) elements into the game, a fact that was not well advertised prior to the game's release and does not become apparent to the player in the first hours of the game.^[97][104] Though Schafer had set out to make the console-based game like an RTS from the start,^[43] they were warned by both Vivendi and Electronic Arts that "RTS" was "a naughty word in the console space", and instead marketed it as an action game.^[33] Despite this, reviewers found that the game was still difficult to play on a console due to the selected controls that made it difficult to target objectives or troops, the lack of a mini-map to track friends and foes, and the frantic pace of battle.^{[95][99][100]}

Critics did appreciate the slow introduction to the various aspects of the game as part of the single player game, but felt the game did not adequately introduce or explain all of the game's RTS features, such as the ability to mount a final stand on one's stage.^[101][104] Some also considered the single-player campaign Stage Battles to be too easy, winnable by brute force,^[99] and that more advanced tactics would only become apparent as one played in multiplayer games, including learning the abilities and advantages of the other units of the factions other than Ironheade.^[97][99] The mix of gaming genres between the RTS and third-person action was found particularly confusing; Kohler commented that the handling of the individual genres was accomplished well, leading to "an astoundingly complex design instead of a simple one" that diminished the enjoyment of the game,^[104] while Davis considered that "perhaps there wasn't enough confidence in any one piece to let it carry the whole game".^[101] However, some felt that the various genres helped to create "a variety of gameplay opportunities",^[102] and made for "rather elegant" Stage Battles.^[97] In retrospect, Schafer lamented that they did not include enough tutorials in the game to guide the player as to "naturally how to play the strategy part a bit better", as they had come to accept over the years of development, and tried to use the Double Fine blog to explain some of these aspects.^[29] Though some critics argued that stripping out the RTS elements and leaving an action combat game wrapped in the metal-themed world would have been a better game, Schafer countered that this would have not been true to the vision that he had from the start.^[32] Schafer would later jokingly refer to the RTS elements of Brutal afsonasi; during the fundraising for Buzilgan yosh, Schafer teasingly threatened to add RTS elements to the point-and-click if the funding had reached certain levels.^[105]

Gameplay outside of the Stage Battles was also met with mixed impressions. Most considered the side missions highly repetitive,^{[96][99][100][103]} which included mission types that are generally disliked by gamers, such as escort missions.^[99][100] The lack of a mini-map, replaced by either following a glowing light from the sky illuminating the player's target or by navigating based on the Deuce's turn signals, was criticized for making it difficult to explore the game's world.^[95][100] The information about the world that players can access in the game's pause menu was also found to be lacking, neither showing the collectible elements of the game on the main map, nor easily identifying the alliance of the various troops in the in-game guidebook.^[95] Though Eddie gains the ability to fly during Stage Battles, the inability to use this or to make the character jump led to reviewers getting the character stuck on the landscape at times when exploring.^[95] Some reviewers found the number of progress checkpoints in the game to be lacking, requiring the player to repeat a long mission if they should die before reaching one.^[96][100] The single-player game was also considered to be short, lasting as little as four hours if one only completed the main story missions.^[97][101] 2011 yilda o'quvchilar Ginnesning rekordlari geymerining nashri voted Eddie Riggs as the 48th-top video game character of all time.^[106]

Sotish

Ga ko'ra NPD guruhi, Brutal afsonasi sold approximately 215,000 copies in the United States in October 2009, with about 150,000 copies being for the Xbox 360 platform, making it the 12th-top-selling game in that month.^[107][108] These numbers were not considered to be strong, and were attributed to the difficult marketing of the game, which emphasized Jack Black's involvement and the heavy metal nature of the game, but did not assert what the gameplay would actually be like, with the possibility that the mention of the RTS elements of the game would have possibly driven more players away from the game.^[109] In an interview in February 2011, Schafer claimed that the game had sold over 1.4 million copies.^[110]

According to data collected through Nilsen SoundScan, some songs contained within Brütal Legend's soundtrack saw digital sales increases of up to 700% following the game's release, similar to the effects of Gitara qahramoni va Rok-guruh, though impact on overall sales of these songs was rather small.^[111]

Mukofotlar

Black was given the Best Voice award at the Spike Video Game mukofotlari 2009.^[112] Brutal afsonasi won the "Best Strategy/Simulation Game" and "Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack" awards in the 13th-annual Interaktiv yutuq mukofotlari dan Interfaol san'at va fanlar akademiyasi, and was nominated for "Outstanding Character Performance" (for Eddie Riggs), "Outstanding Achievement in Original Story", and "Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction".^[113][114]
