Schafer is making it so it'll be bad

>crowdfunded modern Doublefine game

I'm glad it got funded and I hope it turns out great, but I don't think people are very optimistic about this one. Looks good so far though.

>>379707431
I have 0 faith in Tim Schafer's ability to make a good game anymore. He has completely vanished inside his own ass.

I have no interest in ever playing a video game by Mr. Shitface ever again.

One thing I hope they're wary of is map size. The updated style looks great, but one of the strengths of the first game was that the different areas felt big enough to explore, but small enough that they remained detailed and dense with content.

So it was worth exploring the hub every time you got back to it to see what all the different characters were up to.

>>379707431
I wonder just how much easier or more frustrating it is to build off things as a sequel rather than starting from scratch.

When you already have established character designs for the main cast and a clear concept of the gameplay you're improving, but have to change enough things to make it feel updated without recycling old ideas for writing and level design, and dealing with the decade of nostalgia that people have for your first work.

I wasn't overly fond of the first one desu.

People aren't excited before it because they were "tricked" by Broken Age, despite Broken Age being exactly what Shafer said it would be.

>>379708720
I played it for the first time this year.

The overworld is extremely comfy.

>>379709282
The first game did a good job of world building and since your inside people's minds they can do virtually anything

Its a pretty versatile world

And a huge cuck

I started replaying the original for the first time since I played it at launch and I'm falling in love all over again. The platforming is still annoying as fuck in parts, but there's so much else about it I dig.

Also my mind is being blown by how many dialog possibilities there are that I never even noticed before. I've put several hours into it now and I'm still only at Floyd's world because of how much I'm dicking around

One thing I liked about the first game was how straight-faced it could be about how weird the world was.

You could fight psychic bears and become Godzilla to a city of talking fish, but still have a semi-grounded explanation behind a lot of it that only makes sense in context.

>>379709620
The music helps. Glad they're apparently bringing back the same composer.

only thing I find weird is how much time they seem to "waste". Don't know if that's a common luxury that larger videogame companies have to make years worth of content just to scrap it or if that's just how Schaffer works

That's one of the finer details that makes the game for me. The idea that every item or power you get can basically be used on every character with different resulting dialogue.

I replayed the game for years and found new jokes and interactions that I missed every time.

>>379711556

The only thing I feel like they're legitimately throwing away was the art test for the old campsite. Which is a shame, because it looks genuinely nice.

But I guess they still have the assets. And a scripted surface area look at the new graphics doesn't mean that they did all the actual bug and gameplay testing for the area.

Schafer has gone out of his way over the past few years to make sure everyone knows he is a fraud and a charlatan, he is terrible at managing money and he has complete contempt for the people he's selling his games to.

He has LONG since used up all the good will he ever had left over from the original Psychonauts and his days at Lucasarts.

That is why.

I hope they don't make it too easy after you get 90% of the collectibles. Having regeneration and a xbox hueg health bar after delivering all the brains a few worlds before the last one breaks the game a lot.

The first Psychonauts went way over budget and cost 15 million to make. Since then games have gotten exponentially more expensive to make and they're going to make this one for a fifth the cost? I wouldn't trust Nintendo to deliver on that, let alone a company that has repeatedly shown themselves to be completely fucking retarded with money.

>>379713450
The money from the crowdfunding is only part of the budget. Starbreeze studios is apparently helping fund things as well.

I like the scavenger hunts giving genuinely useful bonuses. But hope they touch-up the powers a bit.

Some of them could trivialize boss fights, like invisibility. While others were never really useful in combat unless they were mandatory for progressing. Like telekinesis.

God, listening to Tim is pure pain. But it definitely sounds like they're making good progress.

I can't prove you wrong, but I don't know that you're right, either.

A lot of game critics lauded Psychonauts, but it still seemed to fly under most gamer's radar. I remember Game Informer magazine doing two or three praise articles for the game, and at one point they pretty much shamed their readers for not buying it, since I guess it sold kind of poorly.

Also why is it kid Raz, what happened to Raz at the end of the game or when he became an actual psychonaut?

This just looks like a nostelgia grab thats going to repeat the gameplay of the original and not advance the story at all.

The last game worked because of all the characters and the environments, but most importantly the mind jumping element of the story where you learned about all these characters.

Tim Schafer falls into the same trap that George Lucas did.

Early on they both had their ideas that were unique and interesting but they always had their team questioning those ideas that refined and brought them into line.

When Schaefer and Lucas started becoming well known and powerful, no one questioned their ideas and it just became a team of one man that everyone agreed with.

I thought it was pretty good. Mainly because he doesn't have an automatic change of heart just because Raz saw the truth.

OS it possible to play that on just the PS4? I don't buy into VR.

I wonder how many psychic kids were traumatized by reading their parents minds and seeing them imagining fucking their other parent or people?

>>379743568

Well, when a real man, we are talking about 7ft tall Adonis's with 16 pack abs that mirror the great Zyzz himself and a dick that puts subway foot longs to shame need a little pick me up ,they require something special. The carnal pleasures that the average thot provide are simply not enough for these demi-gods so they need to harvest the pure esoteric energy only found in the laughter of cute little girls. The concept of other peoples happiness fuel these otherworldly people and allow them to maintain their godlike visage as well as successful existences.

I told you, your kind are unable to comprehend the gestalt that us higher beings follow.
I can only pray that your mind doesn't have a meltdown later after learning of demi-truths such as this.

Climb to the highest point near you and do 200 squats and 200 pushups every dawn, before 7:00.
Do this enough and you may be graced with a commandment from a higher being. This is merely the first step on your path to transcending humankind and taking the next step in evolution.

I guess he didn't discover his psychic powers until afterwards.

And then the Psychonauts recruited him only to put him in charge of Summer daycare.
