The Tingler Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 So then, everyone here in the UK got a copy of the fabulously groovy game Psychonauts on Xbox or the brand spingly-spangly new DVD version for PC with 400% less disc swapping? No? What's that? It wasn't released on the 25th November as promised? But didn't Tim Schafer say it was out before the year's end? Didn't PCZone, the UK bastion of Psycho-related Magazine Fandom, practically demand that 25th Nov was made a public holiday and that they would be doing spot-checks at people's houses to make sure everyone had a copy? Indeed, hasn't a new advert been doing the rounds stating proudly that the game would be out November, seen here: So why is the new release date "March 2006, maybe"?
90SK Posted December 6, 2005 Posted December 6, 2005 I'm more curious as to why they talk about Day of the Tentacle on the box. I mean, no one has ever heard of Day of the Tentacle. Is it there for aesthetic appeal only? KotOR II was released for PC 2 months after it was for X-Box in the US. Maybe this is similar.

At first I though the yellow and purple was too hideous but now I totally see how it fits.

All very good questions, but I have a better one. Why not just buy the American version seeing as we live in an English speaking country anyway? (I'm assuming you already have). Pyschonauts is a summer game, dammit, wandering around Whispering Rock when it was getting all light and hot outside was perfect and made the game even more special for me. (For the record, I live in Scotland and have the Xbox version. Death to region locking.)
alliespixie Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 i know, it bites that i have to have the english version of kingdom hearts two when the japan version is already out.
90SK Posted December 8, 2005 Posted December 8, 2005 DotT was awesome. I beat it and it was totally cool. Yeah, but it's one of those games that mainstream gamers won't know about (shamefully). And Lucasarts doesn't sell it anymore. Heck, it doesn't even have a section of the forums (neither does RTX Red Rock, but hey...).

DarthAve Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 That is the foxiest ad I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!
Klia Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 ohhhhhhh, awesome. I'm still skeptical of the purple+yellow scheme.
DarthAve Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 yes, who knew such strange colors could come together to make such an excellent combination?
Klia Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 yes, who knew such strange colors could come together to make such an excellent combination? Well, I'm just saying it seems so un Psychonauts like. When I think of purple and yellow I think of basketball.
Purple Squid Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Well, I'm just saying it seems so un Psychonauts like. When I think of purple and yellow I think of basketball. I think of bees.
DarthAve Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I think of that one time my older cousin had a party and he made brownies......It was weird.
alliespixie Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 i think about my room getting clashed with my sisters room,freaky
shinzuku Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 The background make the guys look weird and Milla high.
alliespixie Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 hehehehe,milla high, man, my mom said i looked high when my hair was pink
DarthAve Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 You had pink hair? When I was in forst grade, my dad had blue hair and my teachers didn't believe me.
alliespixie Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 i had blonde, pink and purple hair in one day
Klia Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 So why is the new release date "March 2006, maybe"? Perhaps they had a problem with shipping the game towards stores, and the old date was when it was ready to be shipped. I don't know what I'm talking about, do I?
