Tried, but couldn't resist. In for the $100 level. The old school packaging, name in the credits, and "exclusive" BD documentary disc swayed me even more than the game.

I just did the same. Excited about all the extras, and the old school box.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...of-psychonauts
In the article he says about Psychonauts 2
If this made 3.3 million, I KNOW psychonauts 2 would make closer to 5 or 6, maybe more.
There you go, he's thinking about doing it. Send mails to doublefine if you can and tell them you would contribute. I don't usually do kickstarters, but I would donate in an instant for this.
He could make this and toss it on steam/xbl/psn hopefully and make some serious bank on it.
Also in the article "Notch" of minecraft fame told tim he would fund the whole project for Psychonauts 2 as an investment and realized how much it would cost and would do it if they were really serious about making it.
From Notch
In the article he says about Psychonauts 2
If we figure out a way to do it on Kickstarter that does take a lot of the risk because people are paying for it in advance in a crazy way. You still have a chance of not making money on it but you’ve already funded it and it’s a lot less worrisome than shoving over all your chips and then crossing your fingers.
It’s a possibility, but I see that game as being a really big budget. Bigger than the $2.5 million [which has eventually topped out at $3.3 million] we got from Kickstarter this time, which was an amazing number for Kickstarter.

We spoke and basically Tim said that they were busy with the adventure game they’re making.
I said that when I made the initial offer I didn’t realize exactly how much money is needed, so we’d probably have to be like super-serious and have real Excel spread sheets and stuff like that.
But we discussed a few alternative models that might be possible to do. Nothing concrete is happening though, we didn’t really get anywhere.
I think Psychonauts 2 would definitely sell, so it would be a sound investment.

5 or 6 million probably wouldn't do it. It would be a big game like Brutal Legend.
Unless, and I hate this for gaming, they go the episodic route and do the first of maybe 3 or 4 parts. But then, there's no guarantee it would sell well enough to continue, which is a big reason I don't like the episodic model. If they do a full sequel and the sales are disappointing, at least you've got a full game. The original Psychonauts wouldn't exist in its entirety if they had done episodes with it.

I can't imagine brutal legends budget was much over 20 or 30 mil, but that is including the 5 or 6 huge voice actors they had and the massive soundtrack. Knock all that off and that's probably 7 to 10 gone there.
Big actors in this were Tim Curry, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Kyle Gass, Brian Posehn. And those were just the big ones, there were tons of other smaller actors. I bet half the budget for BL was advertising and the actors/soundtrack. Neither of which they need to go buck wild on for psychonauts 2.

First things first, though -- how come I can't buy Psychonauts via XBox Live Marketplace?

Hmmm ... I checked XBox Marketplace right after the Notch announcement and couldn't find it. Probably user error.

Didn't want to start yet another kickstarter thread (maybe there should be a generic one), but Chris Jones just announced that his company, Big Finish Games, is going to launch a kickstarter page on May 15th for a new Tex Murphy game. http://www.unofficialtexmurphy.com/m...2b403fd#p46833
Awesome news! I'll be donating for sure.

Double Fine has just announced the ability for latecomers to back their project, basically an extended pre-order like for Wasteland 2 and LSL:
The site for pre-ordering is:
http://www.doublefine.com/dfa/
As a bonus, they've released the first episode of the documentary to the general public, with a new intro by Tim Shafer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMbQRnoxZ2E
They also have sent some press an image of the upcoming game in the form of a jigsaw puzzle, although some had better luck assembling it than others...
http://kotaku.com/5909338/so-far-ron...y-over-my-head
This info has also been posted in the Ultimate Kickstarter thread:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/video-game-...es-thread.html
Starting today we are allowing latecomers (let's call them "Slacker Backers") to support the project through PayPal. They will only have access to the $15 tier--the game and the development updates--while all physical rewards remain completely exclusive to you punctual types.
We think this is a good way to help the project while keeping special rewards like the t-shirt, poster, and big box one-time-only deals.

For PAX, Double Fine compiled a video of highlights from the first 5 episodes of the documentary, totaling 24 minutes. They've released it on Youtube for everyone to see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOqPVkmYB6k
Each individual episode has been 20+ minutes so far, and there's a lot of extra behind-the-scenes stuff for backers as well.

They also got a new highlight reel showing clips from episodes 6-8 of the documentary. For those who've watched and kept up on the documentary episodes, there's still a little bit of new footage at the very end talking about the game name.
