>>378181564
The first game did a good job at not dating itself.

I think any modern political or media references would have the game shooting itself in the foot.

>>378182210
The combat and platforming was always kind of awkward, but I think the rest of it still holds up alright.

>>378181182
I have mixed feelings about the acrobatic platforming. On the one hand, I'm glad that they're trying to be faithful to the original, but I found the acrobatic part of the platforming to be the least interesting movement mechanic.

I hope they model more things after the levitation ball. Every platforming puzzle at the campsite was pretty much irrelevant after you got that power.

>>378181790
Not to such an extent.

Dang, that's cool, give's me a little bit of hope.

>>378183798
i like Loboto's childhood it was well done

If Tim Schafer ever had talent, he lost it.

>>378183607
Making harder challenges for the levitation would probably leave a lot of players unable to do them unless the reduced the weight and momentum, but that would kill a lot of the insane stuff you could do. If you considered your challenge to be going as fast as possible, you had almost no limit with levitation.

>>378184395
Considering his past record (Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts), he likely had it. Too bad it died sometime between Brutal Legend and Broken Age.

I hope that it feels complete, mainly.

I played the VR spinoff and it does some cool things, but overall it feels half-baked even for a point-and-click game. And I didn't really laugh as much compared to the original.

>>378184696
>Considering his past record (Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango, Psychonauts)

I'm aware of his past record but I have to question how much he was actually involved in the parts that were good.

While I am hopeful because shit shown thus far has been limited, but good, I still believe Tim's gonna find a way to fuck it all up even with all his old handlers on staff.

>>378182210
Name a better 3D platformer from that era.

>>378185190
>I'm aware of his past record but I have to question how much he was actually involved in the parts that were good.
Well considering that some of the games he made were from the era where you'd have like 5 people working on a game, instead of the modern development monster with thousands of employees on a single title, I'd say he was probably significantly involved with the parts that were good. Not to mention that all of the point and click titles he worked on were uniformly excellent, even when other senior colleagues moved on to work on different things and his team changed around him.

Tim Schafer is a talented writer and world builder. Him being shitty at budgeting, running a company, making actual gameplay, and being a general bad human being doesn't erase the talents that he does have.

I get weirdly nostalgic for those.

The online market's easier and all, but getting a packed demo disk felt like Christmas back in the day.

I think their decision to give shooter controls in the brief demo they've shown is a good change. Psychonauts would've benefitted from shooter controls, the game had a grenade, telekinesis would've been better as a gravity gun esque mechanic than how clunky it was, PSI blast was a classic shooter power, and so on.

I'm hopeful despite Tim's political views having been too annoying lately. I still like Psychonauts.

>>378185578
I think Sly Cooper beats it mechanically. But I'd probably give Psychonaut's writing and level design the edge.

>>378186703
You're not the only one. Demo discs in general were a thing you wanted to have back in the day.

>>378186829
Yeah, one of my biggest issues about the combat in the original was how using most powers forced you to stop moving in the middle of combat. So a lot of situations just devolved into exchanging punches and tanking the damage.

After Spacebase and how they handeled that and gamer gate I'm never buying a Double Fine game again.

Is the Psychonauts on PS4 a PS2classic or a made for the PS4 port?

>>378194148
I think it's the PS2 version brought over. Not positive though.

>>378194148

PS2 classic

>>378194243
>>378194235
That's...unfortunate. Better than nothing I suppose.

I'm honestly a little conflicted about buying it

>>378194148
i got the port on the PS3 and it was really really bad, it had a really low resolution. the video was slower then the audio in cut scenes and they would end when the sound finished. i still have no idea what happens right before the last part of the final boss. im willing to bet the PS4 version is the same.

the PC version is perfect though.

>>378185739
Yes but psychonauts was made at a time where double fine was more than simply 5 people and I don't think there are many people still there who worked on the original. Point being we are at best looking at a yooka Kaylee style psychonauts, a mediocre an ultimately hollow game.

>>378194505
They got the same writers, voice cast, character designer and music composer on cast, so there's that.

>>378194803
Playtonic had a handful of rare employees as well that worked on banjo kazooie. Games of this scale aren't made good by just a handful of individuals but entire teams that collaborate well together.

>>378195267
Fair enough, but big teams shift around all the time. So I guess it's up in the air when asking what or who specifically brought the charm of the original to the forefront.

But the script writers and art style are a decent start.

Lili is cute but also a textbook thot. I spent a shitload of time running around day time camp and taking to everyone and it seems like she was at one time friends with those two bitchy girls sowing but had a falling out. Made me wonder why did a total 360 on Raz after telling him to piss off the first few times they met.

I don't really remember that. She was touchy about friendship bracelets, so I assumed the implication was that she didn't have the best of luck with friends in general.

But Raz was good-natured and excitable, and made things interesting after years of camp apparently being incredibly boring.

I liked Lili in Rhombus of Ruin. They expand on her character a bit and mention how she was embarrassed about her CEO Psychonaut father showing up at the camp and making a big deal out of checking in on her until she asked him to stop.

So she might have been treated differently by everyone except Raz because of what a big shot her father was.

My hope is that its a longer game with more brains to enter. Best case can enter campers minds

The idea still has lots of potential, but I'm curious what they'll do with it.

I played a little bit of Psychonauts 1 a long while ago, and am looking to really get into it now. I have access to it on xbox orignal and ps2 on ps4. Which version should I play?

I don't know what to expect.

In all honestly, the chances of this game being good are astronomically low. The last passable DF game was Costume Quest, and that was 7 years ago. Since then, Tim has succumbed to both SJWism and Judaism. I mean, I'm going to play it, but I'd be shocked if it's even average.

The appeal in Psychonaut's gameplay was still based in adventure game logic.

You could deal with enemies and interact with people with a dozen different items and powers, but a lot of the emphasis was more on the funny results it would have and less so on them actually being useful or convenient in combat.
