Double Fine taking gamers on a Costume Quest? (Update)  photo

[Update: Well that didn't take long. The game's been announced -- it's a downloadable title being published by THQ. It'll hit Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network in late October. More details here.]

It’s already been revealed that Pyschonauts and Brutal Legend developer Double Fine is already cooking up a few unannounced projects at its studio. While most of us are hoping there's a sequel to the critical darling Psychonauts in there somewhere, one of them is probably not a sequel to Brutal Legend. But here’s one out of left field -- what are your thoughts on a Costume Quest


Trademark-trawling Siliconera has spotted a USPTO filing by Double Fine for Costume Quest. What the hell is that? Well, it certainly sounds like some kind of journey where you search for costumes. Obviously.

But that explanation is likely far too mundane for Tim Schafer and the folks at Double Fine, whose creative minds work in some of the most curious and craziest ways. Even our best guesses probably wouldn’t scratch the surface of where the studio plans to take us on a Costume Quest.

Is Double Fine’s Next Game Costume Quest? [Siliconera]

@Corduroy: LOL. The point of that demo is still mind boggling to me.

Yeah, I am excited at the idea of another Double Fine game but please.....no RTS.


More Lemmy is acceptable though.

Costume Quest? Oh dear.

Now I think we'll all be begging for another Brutal Legend.

Just make Psychonauts 2, k? Make up with Majesco and have a beautiful baby together.

Brutal legend was serviceable as an RTS and imo overall a good game with a GREAT theme/aesthetic. I am sad they shelved the sequel for now. They game has moments of brilliance (DECAPITATIOOOOON!) I'm excited for their next project, even if it turns out to be a console rts

I'm sure it'll at least look very good, but I'll be wary of this one after Brutal Legend. As in I'm making sure it's actually in a genre I like to play and not just pretending to be.

I don't know what this is and it is the best news I have heard all day. I'll take five. All glory to the Hypno-Tim.

Brutal Legend was certainly a good game. Whoever says it was shit, mediocre, etc., certainly knows nothing about what they're talking about. However, with that said, the game could've been much, and I mean MUCH, better.

I know this is a long shot, but it could very well be the next thing gamers are bitching about nobody buying enough copies of for years.

It could be just another flash game on their website.

We already know Psychonauts is good, but when you think about the name itself, you see it is a pretty weird name for a great game.

I think the name is pretty fucking delightful, tbh.

@glitznglam: I liked it ok, but I just wish it wasn't an RTS.

I enjoyed the RTS portions, but they definitely didn't give this game a broad appeal.

I also would've rather the game stuck to the formula of its first 3 boss battles. Just an action/adventure, simple hack n' slash without the resource management and stage battles. The game began better than it ended.
