Something new in Psychonauts?
« on: Monday, October 22, 2007, 08:51:42 PM »
Very interesting.

Under Double Fines projects page lists Brutal Legend, and then a darkened image thats very obviously Raz and the Psychonauts logo with the words "Coming Soon" over it. Psychonauts 2 in the works? We can only hope.

That'd sure make A LOT of people happy.

And this reminds me, I need to go finish Psychonauts...

I think that would make my head explode with sheer joy.  And it would be the best reason ever to immediately go play through Psychonauts again.  Damn I love that game.

Also, I didn't realize they had merchandise on their site.  I can't believe that I'm considering spending 40 bucks on a Double Fine hoodie.

I hope Psy 2 sells well, this time around.
Psy 1 should've sold well, but flew way too much under the radar....

Y'know, I wonder how well Psychonauts sold on STEAM and all...

Oooh Gametap had Psychonauts available for FREE till New Year's eve! They just took it off dang it!

Regardless this is a game I'd pay for. Already picked it up :D I was actually contemplating getting off Steam but due to a lack of a credit card I resorted to good ol' cash. I'm now also boycotting the use of credit cards.

I totally reinstalled it.  Man, it looks pretty sweet at 1280x1024 with AA and stuff.  It's such a stylistic game that slightly dated graphics barely matter.  It looks probably 97% as good as the day it came out.  Hooked up the 360 controller, which I had to use the weird non-Microsoft drivers for so I could map the triggers (stupid Microsoft), but now it's all set!  Awesome.  Plays like a dream.

I recently picked up the Titan Quest and had a similar reaction, in that I was pleased that it still looks sexy.

Also once I do install Psychonauts, do you recommend I use a gamepad?

Definitely. I tried it both ways and I preferred the gamepad.

Yeah, I don't often say this about games, but this one is a gamepad game all the way.

Just opened the box. 5CDs? Bloody hell. My first reaction was wondering if I should download a torrent and leave the CDs in place.

Stupid freakin' thing. It is going to be harder to store now. I am thinking of buying a DVD version and giving this to my bro. It came from the UK, so I am almost shocked it is on CDs.

That is odd for UK export.. Maybe it came out just before European publishers made the full switch..

This is one reason why I approve of cracks and exe fixes. Handy stuff. Just install and worry about the discs the next time you plan to install.

I don't think there was a DVD version.  Yeah, the CDs are annoying, but don't sweat it.  It's only a minor annoyance for hours of enjoyment.

I got back into this.  The game actually looks pretty good in wide-screen high res.  I'm really hoping for a sequel again.

Yeah, the game still looks great.  I'd love to play in widescreen, but even being able to bump up the res makes a nice difference.  The graphics are so stylistic I think they'll age quite well.
