[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Coming this April....

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Looking GOOOD

 

[Zilch]

This is what a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game should look like, IMO.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I knew my great love of Psychology and Platformers would intersect at some point in my life.

 

[Ironclad]

Here's hoping that Schafer's humor works its way into the game.

Thats the only thing that IS a given. Who cares if the platforming sucks... its going to be worth it. MS = the stupid.

Judging from all the screens, movies, previews, and interviews we've seen on Pyschonauts there'd have to be some sort of humor exorcism for it not to be in the game. This game is all Schafer.

EDIT: beaten to the punch.

Like a jumbled mess of green domes and wires?

 

[Speevy]

Why would the platforming suck?

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Awhile back, element said that the game just wasn't that fun.



But things may be different now.....

 

[Azih]

Definite rental.

I more or less agree with you. I am definetly looking forward to this one, and Majesco definetly seems to be making all of the right decisions when right after MS makes the wrong ones. Drop Phantom Dust MS and let Majesco pick it up. Drop Psychonauts and let Majesco pick it up.

If the humor can hit its mark, this game will be a must own. It's almost as good as getting another Day of the Tentacle or Full Throttle game. Hopefully the platform and psychic powers find their place, but it's the humor that has be the most interested.

 

[element]

i really hope it turns out well.

 

[IJoel]

Must buy!

 

[StoOgE]

Dont know if it does or not.. but this guy who works for MS on the forums said it wasnt fun once. Of course, that was right after it got canned, the week before he told us how cool it was. He later said something about voting for the game but not for funding the game. Confused the hell outa me.

+1 Majesico

 

[bridegur]

It looks good and I'm sure the humor will be great, but I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

 

[Monk]

Ugh, the small indoors stuff look awesome, the large outdoors....

Unless you haven't realized games likes these don't suit MS' first/second party vision anymore, after Shane Kim was promoted to the head of the department. They're going to go for big/epic titles, I mean look at how successful Fable and Halo are, while this would undoubtedly sell as much as Voodo Vince did (i.e. bomb). Jade Empire fits their vision, Psychonauts doesn't.

But I think they did make a mistake by skipping on Oddworld, but I have a feeling they're going to publish far fewer games now, but they'll go for higher production values and AAA quality.

 

[Priz]

I was in a focus group for this 2-3 months ago and I have to say it was quite promising. I'm definately picking it up when it's released... if it's a budget title, then I'd recommend it.

Blame the idiots who dont buy the games, not Microsoft. People should stop copying them to their HDD's and buy them for christ sakes.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

If games like Phantom Dust, Oddworld Stranger, and Psychonauts weren't coming out at all I'd be bitching up a storm about MS dropping the ball, but thankfully someone else picked 'em up. As long as they're still being released, I don't care.

 

[Azih]

I don't see why big game companies don't have speciality brands to release smaller, quirky games.

Oh well that's what smaller companies are for.

I <3 Majesco.

 

[open_mouth_]

Majesco should pick up Red Star from Acclaim as well. That game NEEDS to be released.

 

[FoneBone]

Can't wait for this. I really hope the PC port is decent...

 

[Ranger X]

I hope this game turns out good. It looks inspired.
And i'm a bit tired of always playing all the big platformer sequels and sequels and sequels

 

[BuckRobotron]

The trailer on the latest OXM disc suggests everything is coming together nicely. Both the humor and the voice acting delivering it were just as expected from the Schafer influence.
