Double Fine’s excellent Brutal Legend (as opposed to the excellent Psychonauts) is getting its first piece of downloadable content on December 17 — Hammer of Infinite Fate. The DLC will cost $4.99 for PlayStation 3 and 480 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360. Here are some details from the press release:
The Hammer of Infinite Fate pack allows players to upgrade Eddie Riggs with three new outfits including the Mountain Man, Black Metal and Zaulia Threads, as well as seven more back patches to slay the tainted coil in style. Eddie’s trusted hotrod, The Deuce (aka The Druid Plow), will also get a face lift with four brand new paint jobs and four more upgrades that players can purchase including the Oculus of the Lost, an all-seeing GPS for the world, and the Eye of Sorrow, a weapon that harnesses the power of the Sea of Black Tears and launches black projectiles of doom at enemies, in addition to The Disgorger and the Coiling Maw.
Players will also be able to unlock 9 new achievements and trophies in Brütal Legend which are based on the latest additions of the Hammer of Infinite Fate expansion pack. Mount Rockmore will also see six more heads for players to purchase and unlock, including Rima, Razputin, Dadbat, Hunter, Kage the Kannonier and Tim Schafer himself.
Any of you buying this DLC? As a Double Fine fan, I plan on supporting the company.
Without adding any new narrative, I can't buy it. The price is right, but the content isn't. At least for me.
Yeah, I think I've gotta agree with Smartguy on this one. I mean, it's not horse armor, but it doesn't seem like actual content either.
I am in it for the GPS. If that does what I hope it does then my OCD will be over joyed! I hate leaving collection stuff undone.
I am looking forward to the new weapons as well for the Deuce… the lightning rod was getting a bit old. Don't care much for the multiplayer maps, but I am all for new threads and new reasons to explore.
Don't know what they could be adding in the form of trophies, but w/e.
@Larcenous: Or you could just use this free map and save yourself the $5.

@Nightshade – I used it to find the one legend I was missing as well as two vistas I had not found. The one problem with that map is that my computer is set up about 20 feet from my TV along the opposite wall, so having to turn, look at the map, then turn back to the TV to find the point on the BL map I think corresponds to the coords on the achievemap. Overall, to much work to find the last 20 Bound Serpents and 2 songs.
@Larcenous: Yeah, I tend to steal my wife's laptop for these kinds of things for that reason.
