Using the silliest press release in recent memory, Double Fine today announced that Br\u00fctal Legend will be coming to PCs soon. The title is already up for pre-order on Steam, and each pre-order comes with access to the multiplayer beta, which has already begun. Also, hats.<\/p>\n
From the Double Fine announcement:<\/p>\n
\nSo powerful is the game\u2019s raw lifeforce that even its creators cannot contain it any longer. Owners will receive immediate access to the Br\u00fctal Legend PC multiplayer beta, which is now live and already blowing souls. All preorder customers will also be granted two exclusive Team Fortress 2 items, Eddie Riggs\u2019 hair and his guitar Clementine, all the better to spread the word of Metal throughout the virtual land.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdding a PC release to Br\u00fctal Legend\u2019s list of conquests risks raising the world\u2019s ambient Metal saturation to dangerously high levels,\u201d said Double Fine President Tim Schafer, \u201cwhich is why we\u2019re conducting this closed beta test for preorders.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy purchasing this game, you are waiving your legal rights to recourse if the fire beast Ormag\u00f6den bathes the world in flame and ushers in the Age of Metal,\u201d commented our lawyer.<\/p>\n
\u201cShh,\u201d added Mr. Schafer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
See? Silly. Come to think of it, It’s the type of humor game companies could use more of.<\/p>\n
The PC version will be getting the upgrades that PC gamers are used to finding in games that have been well-ported by developers. High resolution support, anti-aliasing, uncapped framerates, “major improvements to latency\/lag in multiplayer,” and other features will, according to Double Fine, all be implemented before the game is out of beta.<\/p>\n
