This is a mediocre platformer

Yeah and 2 looks even worse in that regard.

But it has Lilli in a business suit.

No one thinks otherwise. Its just held up by good writing, a great variety in the types of levels/environments you go in, and good characters.

Tim Schaefer is an anagram of mr shitface.

I wonder what the dentist is all about. Paranoid ex-psychonaut who dabbles in dentistry?

Maybe he's an ex-interagator for the psychonauts. Using dentistry as cruel and unusual torture.

actually conker has good writing. name 2 other platformers with good writing now op. i'll kill you

This user makes a point. Everything in Psychonauts serves to contextualize and work in intricate tandem with the story and character's personalities.
Every other platformer has the story and characters serve the gameplay and level design, not the other way around

>no dumb as fuck indie designs
I mean, I love Psychonauts and I agree with everything else, but fuck if it doesn't have the most indie tumblr character design.

too bad psychonauts has trash b-tier platformer gameplay.

I agree with some of your points, but some of the camper designs were down right terrible, some campers just got better models than others.

>b-tier = trash
Good job getting your sense of perspective completely destroyed by hype culture

What the fuck was even that cowboy muppet kid? Look like something Scott scribbled down in like 3 seconds.

I don't play platformers but Psychonauts is a great game. I mean, it's actually funny without being Reddit cringe shit. That's incredibly rare.

it was made 20000 years before tumblr and tumblr designs became a thing. if anything all those designs copy from psychonauts, not the other way around

It's on par with anything during and before its time. That includes Mario. Banjo. All of it.

>implaying psychonaut's movement even holds a candle to mario sunshine
LMFAO @ ur fucking life

Nope. Just played it for the first time without any nostalgia linked to it and it's great.
Takes me back to a better time.

meat circus is bullshit

>tsundere twintail loli love interest
Is Tim Schafer a weeaboo?

Is that Melissa Fahn? I forget.

>he plays Mario and actually enjoys it as fully developed adult male
No friend. It is I who lmao's at you.

no he's a male feminist pedophile. it's only a matter of time before he ends up busted.

Meat circus got nerf'd for the modern release.

Great characters, voice acting, settings, and concept; but the gameplay wasn't fantastic.

it really is

he's a 200+iq man of taste

I just have to wonder why some characters were drawn or modeled better than others. Was it Tim or Scott's favoritism? A lot of campers got the circular eyeballs, with a line for a mouth. Scott's art didn't really translate well for some characters.

Campers with good facial models and animation.

Of course Lili, Dougen and Bobby are going to be modeled better. They're more major characters.

yeah but why Quentin and Kitty?

It's best if you don't look her up so you don't ruin the fantasy.

I think it was just time and resources. Making the characters that you'll really be interacting with pop while the others fall to wayside. Or maybe it was more deliberate to put emphasis on the important ones

>lead designer quit Doublefine
>Doublefine now owned by Microsoft
Should I be worried about Psychonauts 2 now?

Dunkey says it's good.

Watch the trailers and decide for yourself.
Also watch the full VR game it's like an hour or two long. That should give you a good idea of the tone and dialog of the second game.
From what we've been shown it seems pretty much exactly as any fan would expect and want it.

Probably. Thanks to him, Lili was one of my pre teen vidya crushes.

>1:52

She's a pretty standard 'THE GIRL' character.
Every cartoon and kids film has their own version of 'THE GIRL' just like her. They're generally witty and have a cold personality all the while having disdain for the main character because she's always the one to save his clumsy ass.

Difference is that Lili specifically want's Raz's dick and is embarrassed about it. She's thirsty something fierce, which isn't the usual for a "strong" girl.

So is Psychic energy invisible to normal people like how Stands are?

conker has good writing but it's a trash game. not just mediocre. trash.

Beat the game last year. That part only took me like 3 tries (but to be fair, I 101%'d the game and had tons of health). Don't try climbing the grate, just keep jumping. The camera is a bitch, but it's not too hard.

I never realised how much I took boss fights for granted until I played this.

Yeah the gameplay of Psychonauts is very bland and unengaging. Plays like every other crappy 3d platformer of the era. The comedy is what sells the game.

I have this game on Steam. Can someone please tell me how to get to the second level? I've spent hours running around the hub, and I can't find it.

>mario galaxy levels before mario galaxy.
it was good, just because it was WAY too diferent than other games released by that time.

Keep exploring the camp, there's a dome like building with an underground lab below it.

>equip the button in your hand and talk to NPCs, that's where all the dialogue comes from bro.

>even worse
How? It's clearly more responsive and tighter to control. Whether or not the level variety will be as interesting as the first game remains to be seen, but so far on the basis of just gameplay footage, 2 seems like exactly what you want from a sequel to a flawed game. My only gripe with the opening level they showed is how Oleander explains what censors are to Raz, when he should already be familiar with them. Maybe it's just for the E3 demo, but I think the dialogue there could've made more sense as a direct followup to the first game.

Can't believe I didn't see this

well it's a good thing i wasn't comparing sunshine to 64 then you fucking mensa member

>platformer
Still people didn't figure out that platforming was just an excuse for tim to make an other adventure game?
A lot of good levels barely had any platforming

You should have idiot. Its a much better example than sunshine is of good movement.

Take the button Sasha gives you to the area with the domes (forget what it's called, there's a river and the place where Ford lives)

Level showed looks super linear and filled with setpieces. Reminded me of something from the Stanley Parable instead of the semi-open stages of the original.

Gutted we never got a handheld port. This would be the greatest game on PSP

It's the very start of the game. Coach's Training was quite linear as well, because it introduced all the core mechanics at a steady pace.

He was literally brainwashed into his role of being a milkman, retard. That's why he says that over and over again.
It was probably a line fed to him while he was being brainwashed.
>you are the milkman. Your milk is delicious.
"yes. I am the milkman. My milk is delicious."

cool post retard

It's not a pure platformer, it has a lot of different parts. It obviously leans very heavily into the presentation/story but that's not inherently a bad thing. The only bad bit of pure platforming is the Meat Circus, specifically I GOT YOU MR. BUNNY.

Kill yourself.
>but MOOOOOMMMMMMM I'M BEING IRONIC!

I'll pirate it ONLY BECAUSE Erik Wolpaw is involved in the writing.

You should pirate their games by default. Everyone working there is a scumbag.

If Erik Wolpaw wasn't involved in the writing, I wouldn't even waste my time pirating it.
>crowd fund game
>include fucking investment options
>join microsoft a year out from release
I guess I can't really blame Schafer - jew is as jew does.

Probably not. Psychonauts was resurrected because it is a classic that got rediscovered years after the release.
Brutal Legend wasn't successful when it came out, it didn't get good reviews and no one remembers it as a classic. Brutal Legend was just bad. Worse gameplay than Psychonauts and a terrible story. Some of the character designs were cool, the cameos of muscians were cool, but that's about it.
While Psychonauts was a game where every little detail on the map had something interesting, like all sorts of obscure lore bits, Brutal Legend was empty.
It's not going to get a sequel unless Jack Black shills for it really hard on his youtube channel, but he'd have to do it for free, it would't make financial sense to pay for his shilling.

depends on what you are looking for

do you want tight controls and level design? then it sucks

do you want cool levels to explore? then it's awesome

Nah, Brutal Legend sucked. It had terrible RTS-like battles, pointless empty open world, and the metal aesthetic was very one-note.

gamespot.com/articles/e3-2017-brutal-legend-2-will-happen-eventually-dir/1100-6450936/
On the contrary: with Microsoft buying out Double Fine, it just might happen.
Apparently it was expensive and a much too big project for the team, but Shaffer wants to do it.
too bad Lenny and who else knows is/will be fucking dead by then.

Wanting something happen doesn't make it happen. If Schafer was still indie he could go to kickstarter and ask for money for Brutal Legend.
Now that he works for Microsoft he has to pitch it to Microsoft, and ''let's make a sequel to a financial flop that no one asked for'' isn't a good pitch.
If anything Psychonauts might be popular enough for Microsoft to decide that they want nothing but Psychonauts games from Double Fine. Prepare for DLC, sequels and spin-offs as all the people from the original team get pushed out and replaced.

There's another one. At the end of the demo it shows Loboto's boss from the VR game

> conker has good writing
If you're coprophagus.

Why is laboto taking orders from a talking Lampshade?

Allegedly Microsoft has this whole thing about letting devs follow their creative ambitions. I'd say Jack Black is even more relevant/of a nostalgia pull now than he was when BL was released.
You keep shitting on it but it definitely had it's fans. I think logically they would drop the RTS at this point and realize going for a fully open world action game with metal album cover vistas is the way to the big bucks. The RTS held the game back in a lot of ways, from the experience of playing it to the action combat being less developed bc of it. A story that isn't focused around some tough damsel love interest and just about being as metal as humanly possible and the sequel could far exceed the original.

Are there any examples of fucking Microsoft of all companies giving their devs creative freedom? I've never seen it.

In the VR he was ordered to kidnap Mila's father and get Raz's brain. His boss is probably an archnemesis of Mila's father or some shit. The gypsy who cursed Raz's family is probably after his brain for some reason.

With Schafer being a pile of human scum you i can bet my ass on it.

Given that Doublefine is now owned by Microsoft it's at least guaranteed to be on the Microsoft store, in which case I don't see Epic paying to keep it off every other PC platform when it still wouldn't be exclusive to their store.

I meant to say *now* in that post. It's apparently a new thing when they started acquiring all these new developers. They're idea is to buy out talent and let them do whatever, as long as it's profitable. We're still early on in this endeavor so I guess we have to see where and how it goes, but the Xbox division of the company isn't really headed by the same people who kept a rigidly strict grip on creative control years ago.
I'm hoping they actually buy out Bungie yet again if their sentiments are true. I don't see Bungie surviving as an independent and Microsoft has plenty of money to toss at the Destiny franchise to hopefully make it at least fun again. But that's unrelated.
So ultimately, no. No examples yet.
Obsidian stated they haven't mettled with the Outer Worlds' development, so there's that grain of salt.

Does that mean since Microsoft bought Double Fine they're gonna extend development time?

Is the E3 Presentation an Alpha build or Beta? The UI looks kinda unpolished.

Attached: Raz_Think.png (261x400, 102K)

It's doubtful it will work out. These people are all about short term profits, just making as much money as possible in the short term and pulling out their stocks before the company crashes.
It would be smart for Microsoft to buy talent and have them work for them, to just do whatever they want as long as these people are working for them, even if there's a slight loss in revenue it will make sense in the long term. We've never seen any of these companies do that. Not even Valve pulled it off, they let their talent go to waste and those people end up leaving Valve to work on indie projects where they have actual creative freedom.

Rough around the edges but excellent overall.

Yeah.

Tim never came across as a pedophile before now. Not that I'm complaining.

I never understood how Meat Circus was supposed to be hard.
There was one jump that felt untested and tricky but other than that it wasn't much harder than the rest of the game.

Most people played it on keyboard and mouse.
