About that cutscene on Spike… I meant to watch it. I just crashed out on the couch and fell asleep before 11. Pathetic, but it was a long day at work–even with the shorter drive now that I’ve moved. I wish I’d seen it. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it on YouTube or anywhere else. The only things that come up for Brutal Legend on Spike are the trailers from the VGAs. While those do rule, they aren’t exactly new.
(I think I’ve seen those about fifty times now. I can’t stop watching them. But I want to see Lionwhyte in full video. That will be too cool.)
I’m sure that there’s going to be new goodies coming out of E3 though, and when those come around, I’ll be on it. Hopefully those will make up for missing this.
(Update: Scratch that, I think I’ve found it at Kotaku.)
It looks like it’s Eddie’s introduction to the Halfords–basically a chunk of the standard intro cutscene that sets up the plot of the game. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a game that didn’t come with one of those. Closest might be Oblivion, where the exposition was worked into the tutorial level dialog instead of being a straight-up intro cutscene, and this looks like it might be sort of like that, because it has to have come after the first tutorial fights when Eddie first wakes up.
