Double Fine Confirms Brutal Legend for PC

A 2009 console game being ported to PC almost 4 years later? Sounds like they are reaching for easy cash. I didn't care much when it released on consoles, and I don't care now. Why anyone is looking forward to a mediocre console game from 3+ years ago being ported to the PC is beyond me. What's even more beyond me is how games like this get a port, but ground breakers like Heavy Rain remain exclusives.

I thought the game was freaking awsome on the 360 did you even play it ? it had a really unique rts system built into an action RPG game. it also had an awesome story.

The only issue i had with the game is they advertised it as featuring all teh greatest metal bands (it does get most ), but alas it didn't have a single Iron Maiden song , the most influential old school metal band , metallica , mega deth , slayer , sepultura , pantera, Iced earth, and about half the bands that had music in the game were influenced and listened to iron maiden themselves. when i beat the game with not ever seeing any thing from maiden i was like WTF ???

a pc version will be awesome if done right, and hopefully it comes moddable. if they can manage that , i'll grab up a pc version asap.

Is ported because is a freaking great game. Add the hilarious moments, distinctive music and celebrity cameos.

A must have if you grew at the time. Just hope PC version let me add my favorites dual riffts

There's always a choice:

$20 for a digital license to a game that has licensed music in it that can, and will, someday be taken down and/or patched because the licensing ran out?

-OR-

Go to Ebay right now and pick up the disc version for PS3/Xbox for a whopping $5 where the only way the RIAA is going to get thier music back is to come to my house with a shotgun?

Groundbreaking exclusives usually have a particular publisher/developer making the title. check who published Heavy Rain. IMO its better to get a port from a great 3 year old game than not get one at all.

I've reread info about the game, including my old game informer that had it on the cover. You guys are right in that it was a good, unique game. However, there are a *lot* of good games coming out in 2013, that haven't already been on consoles for years.

Perhaps I took too harsh a stance against the game, in calling it mediocre. Still you might forgive me in that it TOOK THREE PLUS YEARS before they deemed the PC good enough to run a console game. If our platform wasn't good enough to launch on, why reward the company for coming to the table long after the game was relevant? I'd rather put my money into BL2, Bioshock Infinite, XCom, Miasmata, Dishonored, etc. I suppose those games aren't in the same genre, but PC has never really been a big destination of Music games. The most popular have been restricted to consoles for a long time. Bringing them to PC only now, as an after thought is insulting to me.
