Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
OK, it's way too soon to get excited, but too late -- I'm excited:
http://i.imgur.com/6fGUF.jpg Markus Persson is the guy who invented Minecraft, so he actually does have the money to make this happen. And in a subsequent tweet, he wrote that he is absolutely serious about this. There's a world between a tweeted conversation and a contract, and another world between a contract and a release, but this is the first step down the road to Psychonauts 2. No response yet from Tim Schaffer (but the following response from me: "Please please please please please!") |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
I think I just creamed my pants :drool: Psychonauts was one of my favorite games of last gen. Awesome game!

I'm glad someone is willing to help out Schaffer like this. He's talented and even after a few stinkers, I still have faith in this sequel.

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
I'm sure it will be released alongside Beyond Good and Evil 2.
But seriously, platformers have kind of made a comeback recently. Hopefully this gets made and continues their resurgence. |

This article adds a little more info:http://www.geekosystem.com/notch-off...psychonauts-2/
namely: Steve Dengler, Double Fine financier, responded to Notch with a tweet by saying that he’s in, then tweeted at Notch and Tim Schafer saying that they should move this conversation offline, to something more appropriate than Twitter. It certainly looks as though Notch and Double Fine are looking to make our video game dreams come true. |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
Psychonauts was the one game from the XBOX generation that I haven't been able to let go of... fortunately it's backwards compatible with the 360 and I've played it many times. I'd love to see a sequel and maybe an HD remaster of the original.

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
Notch has downplayed the likelyhood of funding Psychonauts 2, saying the budget "is three times higher than my initial impression" and suggesting splitting the risk over several investors, or of Double Fine funding it via Kickstarter. He also points out that Double Fine will be busy the next few months with their adventure game.

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
This needs to happen. Double Fine has already proven people will pay to help develop their games. Once this first Kickstarter game comes out, they should definitely do it again for Psychonauts 2.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...dget-valuation It's possible Psychonauts 2 could be funded with a combination of individual investors and Kickstarter, each funding a portion of the game. |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
Yeah, the problem is that everybody who pledged $15 for the adventure game would have to give a lot more. Asking someone for $15 vs. $50 or more is a big difference. Imagine how the guy on CAG would feel about that. :lol:
And another problem is that Psychonauts 2 would almost have to be on the consoles, because being a platformer, it's such a natural fit for them (certainly more so than the mobile devices). I don't know if that's reflected in the budget or not, but if it isn't, there goes some additional expense. Does anybody know the biggest downloadable game released on XBLA and/or PSN, in terms of price or size? Not counting games also available now or in the past as discs, of course. |

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
Okay, I guess they'd need a retail disc, since GOD looks like it's limited to titles also available on disc.
I was thinking around $50, as the highest they could realistically request. Of course it would need other funding as well. |

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
They're now running a crowdfunding campaign to make this game. They're trying to raise $3.3 million, the same amount they raised for Broken Age:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZFFrE_3n2ws" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFFrE_3n2ws The crowdfunding campaign is on fig: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2 Fig's a relatively new platform. In addition to the standard pledge-for-rewards method, they also allow people to register as investors and actually share in the revenue of the game. The site doesn't mention it, but according to this article you have to have a net worth over $1 million and have to invest at least $1,000 to be an investor in the game: http://techcrunch.com/2015/08/18/fig-games/ The platforms are PC on Steam and DRM free, Windows/Mac/Linux, as well as PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Delivery date is Fall 2018, so they're predicting a 3 year production for this game. Edit: here's a pretty in-depth article on the project and Fig: http://www.polygon.com/features/2015...owdfunding-fig |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
I was about to jump on this at an Early Bird price of $33, but they want an extra $18 for XO or PS4 version instead of PC. :down:
I'm all for supporting this project. I want this game to be made. But it's madness to demand a 50% premium for console versions of the same game. |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
I backed it and I never do crowdfunding stuff. I went for the 60 some dollar tier and added the PS4/XBOX One download to it.
|
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
It's close to one million already with 34 days left, so no doubt it will get funded. And good for them for being realistic about the release date. I'll wait for the retail release. With GCU, it would still be cheaper then backing here. Sounds like it's going to be bundled with the original game as well. Wonder if it will be remastered.
|
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
I wonder if they'll do an NX version.
|
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
It's weird that they don't want to do console versions, as they'll more than double their sales if they do.

http://www.1up.com/news/psychonauts-...-now-available Steam users with the game already installed will find a new update brings with it several welcome changes and additions. Achievements and cloud saves have been introduced, and the difficulty of the Meat Circus has been toned down... Additionally, Double Fine has released a new, free iOS app -- the Psychonauts Vault Viewer -- that allows you to watch all of the Memory Vaults from the game on the iOS device of your choice. I think this is the extent of any "remastering" that will be done. It'd be nice if they could port a version of the original to XB1 or PS4, but that's not explicitly mentioned (the console add-on only mentions getting the sequel game). |

Doesn't it say for PC only? Or maybe that was the original pitch?
Please note that a console version of Psychonauts 2 for PS4 or Xbox One is available as an add-on to every tier above 'Basic Braining' for an additional $18. |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
Also coming to the PS4 as a VR game is Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin. This game bridges the gap between the two Psychonauts games. It's expected to release sometime in 2016. This is a completely separate game and not part of the current Psychonauts 2 crowdfunding campaign.
I suspect this is being funded with Sony's help since it's exclusive to their platform. Perhaps a PC with Occulus/Vive support will come later. http://www.doublefine.com/news/comme...ombus_of_ruin/ |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
It's up to $2.5 million (75% funded), with 30 days to go.
They posted a 3-part retrospective of the original game: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oVizZG0QL9Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVizZG0QL9Y <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9WWSsw-16vw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WWSsw-16vw <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E3zFPss3-9I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3zFPss3-9I |

The game is 99% funded, with 6 days left:

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
The original Psychonauts is now available on PS4 in the US (Europe release in a few weeks pending PEGI rating). It looks :
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-...US211200000001 No news on an XB1 release. Double Fine seems to have a comfy relationship with Sony at the moment, so it may be at least a timed exclusive. Also, "Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin", the Playstation Virtual Reality title, is going to be shown for the very first time next week at E3 https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2?update=179 |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
New update on the game:
https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychon...te=188#updates Fig just got approval from the SEC to take investor funds, so those who want to actually invest ($500 share price) and potentially see returns can sign up now: https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2/invest Here's a documentary episode on the making of Psychonauts 2, this one focusing on the lead-up to the launch of the Fig campaign: |
re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
The PSVR title Psychonauts In The Rhombus Of Ruin was released today.
Here's a making-of for that game: Reviews seem to indicate it's a really well done VR title, but at about 2 hours of gameplay, might be considered too short by a lot of players: http://www.metacritic.com/game/plays...hombus-of-ruin |

re: Psychonauts 2 (8/25/2021: PC, PS4, Xbox)
