JFo Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 So, Double Fine want to make the long-awaited sequel to its first game, and there's no thread on it? For shame! Here's an article on Polygon about the game as it currently stands. Here's the crowdfunding campaign, currently underway. As I write this, they are at just at over $1 million out of a $3.3 million goal. From the Polygon article: Quote Sitting above Schafer's desk is a slim volume — the Psychonauts idea book — where he's been squirreling away the plans for Psychonauts 2 over the course of the last decade. "It is weird that often the first things that you sketch out are the first scene and the last scene," Schafer said, noting that the arc is already mostly defined. "But, those are pretty clear in my head after all this time. "I've had this story for a long time. I've had the places that I want to go, the locations and the minds — the key minds — that I want to go into. I know how I want that to work for sure."

ChrisBardon Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Really looking forward to seeing how this one develops. I don't know if I'll jump in as a backer on this one, at least not now. If it looks like they're in danger of not making the funding then I'll contribute, but otherwise no need to pre-buy. If this is going to be a full $60 game then it's a decent deal, but I don't really need the game on multiple platforms. I'll probably just wait and buy it when it comes out if it gets funded.

ChrisBardon Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 You can add console to the PC backer level, but that might end up being more expensive than just the console version. Regardless, I don't think this will have a problem getting funded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of All Cosmos Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 When selecting the $39 Basic Braining pledge, one is given an option to add several extras, one of which is a digital copy for PS4 or Xbone for another $18. Like Chris, I'll jump in if it looks like they need the extra help, but so far they seem on pace to make goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magness Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I am SO excited for this game. Rhombus of Ruin only made me want Psychonauts 2 more 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I hope they have a replacement funding source lined up with the impending (current?) Starbreeze explosion of death. Josh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Officially coming 2021 now as per Microsoft today: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/07/23/psychonauts-2-rock-your-senses-xbox-game-pass-and-xbox-series-x/ Magness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBardon Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I suppose the original release date was just q4 2019, so this would only be 2 years pas the target? Assuming that means bigger scope and a better game, I'm fine to let them take their time with it. Now just as long as Microsoft doesn't cancel it this time...although that's much less likely given the realities of gamepass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFo Posted July 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I'm excited to try this. At some point, I will have to replay the original again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Love it - it’s looking great and I’m ok with 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Can’t wait for this one. I loved the first game (except for the dreaded Meat Circus) and even like the VR game they did. The trailer for this looked really good. Hard to believe Double Fine Is 20 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 The original is currently free on XBL. It’s backwards compatible and looks superb at near 4K resolution. Dan B. and Magness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I think I've been able to redeem that even without a console to send it to. It now shows that I own the game at least after clicking get, so hopefully it'll be there whenever I next have an Xbox to fire up.

Just checked, and it's listed at 9.99 for me. Might have to try from the console instead. Not really that worried since I still have the Xbox disc and the PC version, but still...free!

King of All Cosmos Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 Very glad that they're taking their time with it. I want a polished game that doesn't need significant patching, and that doesn't have a clunky 'Meat Circus' type ending tacked on.
