Brütal Legend Is Still Double Fine's Best Game, Sequel or Not

Double Fine's new Kickstarter dangles Brütal Legend 2 behind a $100 million stretch goal. Here's the case for no sequels, go for the original instead

Brütal Legend Is Still Double Fine's Best Game, Sequel or Not

Double Fine's famous game jam, Amnesia Fortnight, has returned with 26 new game pitches and a Kickstarter campaign to bring some of them to life. Launched on August 31, the campaign has already surpassed its $400,000 goal. Participants can vote for their favorite pitches, with higher donations granting more influence. Over two weeks, the top four finalists will be developed into playable demos, which will be put to a final vote before the winner is revealed and polished for release.

If the campaign reaches a $100 million stretch goal, Double Fine will develop a sequel to Brutal Legend. Previous successful prototypes from the jam include Costume Quest, Iron Brigade, and Stacking.
