Scummbuddy Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Just mentioning that it looks like the Microsoft merch store currently has Psychonauts 2 items on sale. Here's the tye-dye shirt link: https://microsoft-xogs.myshopify.com/products/psychonauts-2-teal-tie-dye-tee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I was at the "Too Many Games" comics and games convention this past weekend and got to meet Richard Horvitz, the voice of none other than Zim of Invader Zim. Oh, and the voice of Raz of Psychonauts. Just thought I'd share that he was extremely friendly to the fans that came out to see him and doesn't mind doing Raz's hand-brain pose. ;) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sopabuena Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Very cool, where did you get that concept art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMcashpoint Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That looks like concept art drawn by Peter Chan to my eye. Nice to see him working with Tim Schafer again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I believe it was a particular perk level for Psychonauts 2 on Fig, but seeing as how I missed that funding drive, I got this from someone who didn't miss it, from eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scummbuddy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Interesting that IAm8Bit is also stating that: "This marks not only the first time Psychonauts has been printed on disc for Xbox One, but it also marks the first time a backwards compatible Xbox game has had a disc release for Xbox One… EVVVVERRRRR!!" Neat-o! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I pledged at a level where I get a "PC Physical Copy Of Psychonauts 2"... I'd love to think it's this special edition, but I doubt it. I wish I'd pledged more, though. I didn't expect to adore Psychonauts 2 as much as I did. (Would love to have been a brain in the jar -- but no idea how much that Reward was!)

Thrik Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 According to the news post… Of course, if you were a backer, some of these will be available gratis (for some). But you already read that email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Does anyone have a breakdown of all the rewards and tiers? I'm interested now.

I remember there was a $10,000 one where you got to go camping with the Double Fine team https://www.fig.co/campaigns/psychonauts-2/rewards There was. I went on that trip and from what I remember I think there were like... 2 guests who had actually paid for the tier, then a couple more who won a contest to go along, and then a couple of us got invited to go along. It's the sort of thing that could have been pretty awkward, done wrongly, but literally the whole of the studio showed up and everyone was just so welcoming and generous with their time. And you could feel just by being there how much their making efforts to be a diverse and welcoming studio had done for their whole vibe. Everyone just genuinely was enjoying each other's company but also being super welcoming to any new person who crossed their path. I had someone I knew who was reasonably local to it drive me down to the campground and they were going to just drop me off and leave me to it, but instead they ended up staying a few hours, played some board games, tie dyed a shirt with us just because they thought it would be nice to let them hang out a bit before leaving, it was that lovely kind of comfortable, big-hearted thing that I think really defines what DF is as a group of people.

They had a couple of spare spaces so Spaff asked if anyone on the old forum/Discord mod team wanted to come along. In the end, 2 of us did. I ended up staying in SF for about a week after, and got a sneaky little peek at a bunch of stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodefe Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) This is one of the best platformers in years. I could talk about it longer than I played it and it's long. The game just has this confidence that you can feel throughout everything. To me honestly a classic in the genre. ______ Billigste forbrukslån Edited August 3, 2022 by Rodefe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Yeah, it’s great! I had so much fun with it. Haven’t played the post-game content yet, I’m kind of saving it for a rainy day. But the whole story was fun, platforming was constantly engaging, and it looked great. Can’t believe we got a Psychonauts 2 and it was great.

Lagomorph01 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I loved it, but not as much as Psychonauts 1. Part 1 just seems to flow more naturally, maybe because the classic themes of the summercamp and insane asylum are more easily defined for these kinds of levels. All and all they did some really interesting things with part 2, like the combining and corrupting of inner worlds, and it's definitely a worthy sequel in which a lot of love was poured. I particularly loved the Feast of the Senses (for the style) and Bob's Bottles (for the storytelling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KestrelPi Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 The way I've come to think about 2 in relation to 1 is that I think it's an overall better game than 1. The highs aren't quite as high as 1 - I don't think the comedy and its sense of imagination ever truly reaches the heights of, say, the Milkman part, but also I think the overall experience is much better and the writing is so much more considered, the themes it deals in are so much better realised, and the platforming and combat is much stronger. And as much as I like P1's hub area, I prefer P2's. If psychonauts 1 is always at least 'fine' and sometimes absolutely amazing, psychonauts 2 is always at least great and sometimes 'really great' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I loved, loved, loved Psychonauts 2. It was the game the world needed after all those lockdowns, but it also just absolutely fantastic in its own right. DoubleFine's games tend to have a little bit of (forgivable) jank, but this was such an incredibly slick experience from beginning to end. Absolutely gorgeous. I've said it before, but I'd love to the see the original remastered with the same level of fidelity... because it was beautiful. It's a crime that it didn't snag a single BAFTA, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the critical hit of the year in 1990. Nominated for 6 Emmys, more than anyone else... and they didn't get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummbuddy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 More sweet merch available at Fangamer. Merit badges in pin form (for some reason not as patches), a zip up hoodie, new shirt, and a sweet "figment" hot/cold mug. https://www.fangamer.com/collections/psychonauts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroms Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I wish they'd release the two games on disc on PS4/Xbox for something more reasonable than $120. I realise that price tag is also for the bells and whistles included, but I don't care about those. I'm not even sure I could justify Psychonauts 2's physical release for $70.
