Psychonauts encyclopedia wants your brain

They're having us write it for them.

I got really excited when I saw a Psychonauts 2 entry in the wiki:

http://www.doublefine.com/news.php/Psycho-pedia/index/Psychonauts_2

But it appears to just be fan made.

In some respects though, I'm fine with just the one game. Sure, a sequel would be great. But between the choice of another Psychonauts or Tim and his crew working on new, original works, I think I would prefer him to experiment with new things.

Sequel?

A talent like Tim Schafer and Double-Fine should never be relegated to producing sequels to unique and original games that stand so well on their own that a sequel would threaten to seriously disturb the original game's classic standing.

Wouldn't you much rather have them ("them" being Double-Fine and Erik Wolpaw) work on an equally brilliant and original game, that may or may not be a 3D Platformer?

but soviet chik i liked the characters so much and enjoyed it thoroughly. i just cant imagine brutal legend being as good, i hope so, but jack black can be annoying.

You are about to be (and I am in no way being figurative) utterly destroyed.

I bought it off Steam just the other day after rewatching the ZP review, and I have to say I disagree thoroughly. I've only played an hour or two, but I have to say it's one of the few games I have actually found funny, and the characters likable. I actually found myself stopping trying to convince the short round kid to cross the minefield and when he wouldn't going back to try again.

My only complaint so far is that the cut scenes aren't in 1280*1024, which makes them look like utter shit on my LCD.

yes, you are the only one. let's just pretend that comment was never written.

Its just you.

Though if you tried it on the PC with the mouse and keyboard controls then you might just be forgiven. Until i plugged in a joypad i was very unimpressed.

The characters are awesome. I can't believe they manage to create about 20 unique, interesting kids whose lives i cared about and wanted to knowmore about. I had almost as much fun just wandering the camping grounds and having random encounters with all the kids as i did with the story.almost.

The story is awesome and original and deep and varied. The art style is great. Plus the fact that almost every "world" has a different artstyle.

The platforming isn't stunning, but as soon asyou get your first couple of abilities it becomes at least as good as it needs to be.

Can't think of any bad points about this game...

i couldn't get into it. i tried around the time it came out and the art style turned me off.

It is really fun.

And I hate to burst the guy's bubble who bought it off steam, but did you know you can download gametap and play psychonaughts for free?

Sure, if you subscribe to GameTap. I'd much rather pay a couple of quid to get it on Steam.

No. You don't have to subscribe. It's completely and totally free. They have gold accounts which let you play anything for a fee and then a standard account that lets you play some games for free and Psychonauts is one of them.

eh.. it wasn't THAT hard. Sure there's a little pressure with it forcing you upward, but the jumps aren't harder or anything like that. The hardest part is looking for the next platform and not having much time to do so.

I think I only died once or twice getting to the top (playing on the hardest difficulty setting)
