Nothing to see here, move along: No new Psychonauts game in the works photo

What, you expected a new Psychonauts game? Pffft. That game sold, what, four copies? So what if it was really, really good. That story we (and everyone else on the planet) ran earlier about a mysterious Psychonauts "Coming Soon!" teaser images was just that -- a tease. 

Double Fine's Tim Schafer tells 1UP it was all a big misunderstanding:

"It's crazy, isn't it? We just put that in there as a placeholder for the Psychonauts page we're eventually going to have. But we made it dark and people freaked out," he told us. "While I'm sorry people got their hopes up, I'm happy that people got excited about it. Who knows? Maybe some clever publisher will see how much excitement that dark little banner generated, and send us a few million dollars to make a new Psychonauts game! :)"

Well what did you expect, posting a teaser image with the original Psychonauts logo on your Web site? Oh yeah! A page about Psychonauts! What were we thinking, all hopeful for a sequel to a great game? Silly us.

Looks like we just have the brutality of Brutal Legend to look forward to, and with all of that blood and metal, that's good enough for us. For now.

Yes, please! And let's get Ubisoft to greenlight a Beyond Good & Evil sequel!

Alright let's start a collection to get a new Psychonauts game made, if we all chip in we could raise the money needed in a little under a decade.

I don't see how Brutal Legend gets a greenlight, but Psychonauts 2 doesn't.

I guess I'm just out of touch with today's gamer. I mean, maybe shitty licensed turd's like 50 Cent really are what the masses teem for.

Well, unfortunately, this doesn't come as a shock to me.

I mean some of us are still waiting for a sequel to Grim Fandango.

Goddammit.

@shipero
think about it for just a second if people were willing to give money to the project on the HOPE that it would be made wouldn't some developer realize how much they could get if they actually it. If you are truly serious about this game you could start a fund raiser. if you made $1 per person who reads this site i would bet you 10-1 it will be made
