Maybe if his mini projects such as costume quest are successful he'll be able to convince EA to publish a full size game again. As it stands however, both Psychonauts and Brutal Legend underperformed commercially, 2/2 fails... I wouldn't invest in him (though I would love Psychonauts 2).
I like Psychonauts, but I don't think would do well. A lot of people do like Psychonauts,but 1) Pirates aren't going to buy it, and 2) It's still a relatively unknown, unplayed title.
Psychonauts was okay, but the best bits were all in the cutscenes. I think that's the problem with Schafer's games (for me) nowadays. There's great stuff top loaded into the storytelling, but there's nothing under the hood. That's why I couldn't get into Brutal Legend or Costume Quest beyond their demos.
Tim has created the most underrated games in existence. I will support a sequel to one of my favorite games of all time.
I wonder if the Psychonauts formula would work as downloadable, episodic content? Either way, I'd LOVE to see a new Psychonauts. Not nearly enough platform-adventure games these days (although Spyro for $3.00 on PSN and the Sly Collection have momentarily quenched my thirst for them).
I'd buy it...though I'm not sure anyone else would.
I'd be pretty excited for a schafer project that isn't him trying to tackle new genres. I think it's when he expands into something new that he loses some of his good ideas to the mechanics. By building upon Psychonauts, he can actually bring out some of the ideas he has.

Make 2 dirt cheap and everyone will buy it like the first on steam. I would gladly pay $60 for it, even if I had to download it. But hopefully the price can help give this more attention.
@Stevil: I really want to disagree with you but the shred of logic that my brain has retained through all the glue huffings just can't do it. The worlds he creates are amazing but the games fall flat for me.
I think they would do well to turn this series episodic and downloadable. It cuts costs, tests the waters, and the series itself really easily lends itself to that format. All the levels from the first game were essentially short stories about the people you were in. Based off the ending of the first game (spoiler) it seems that it would be easy to have a narrative where you're Raz going around with the psychonaughts, helping out people around the world. They could easily tie it all into a bigger story as well.
seen this coming. I still have my copy of the 1st for the Xbox lol, it's a great fucking surreal platformer & it sucks (some) "gamers" won't try it @ least.
I think it matters how Schafer packages this, digital distribution seems like a best bet with a small price tag similar to the downloadable Ratchet & Clank Future games. He has a supportive market to aim direct instead of high, & that's enough (STEAM Schafer..STEAM!!)

As long as it's downloadable like Costume Quest. I loved Brutal Legend, but even I can admit the game had a fair number of problems. Costume Quest was short and sweet, and I'd totally buy another Double Fine game at that price point.
Not at $60. Sorry Tim. You need to stick to the smaller scale stuff with your experiments.

God, I hope I hope I HOPE this game will be made. I know Psychonauts didn't do so hot when it was released, but I think it's more present in the gaming community's conciousness now, if only because it keeps showing up on "Best Games Nobody Played" lists. If he can take out some of the collect-a-thon aspects and still maintain the creativity and humor of the first game, count me in.
Normally I would say this will never happen, but then again I never expected a new Megaman Legends, a new Kid Icarus, a new Twisted Metal, or even Duke Nukem Forever finally seeing the light of day. So yeah, a sequel to Psychonauts would be awesome and still quite plausible.
Pleasepleaseplease let this be true. Psychonauts is one of my favourite games ever. I agree with The White Light: a bunch of smaller episodic games, each one featuring a few levels with some interesting new characters, would be totally awesome.
I have it for the original Xbox and must sadly report that the camera movement makes me really, really nauseous :(((
I'm pretty sure I bought the first one on Steam for like 2 bucks. Almost any game would be a "big hit" at that price.
I recently replayed Psychonauts for the first time since it came out, and you know what? It's still fucking awesome. I've played supposedly triple-A Mario and Zelda games from that time that don't hold up half as well.
I realize that it didn't fly off the shelves back when it first released, but it seems to have a pretty big-- and devoted-- following now. If there's any justice in the gaming world, this will have happened by the time Final Fantasy LIII, God of War 17, and Call of Duty: World at Modern War: Covert Ops 4: Redux are released.

He can count me as a day one sale, were this game to ever come out. Hear that, publishers? You've got at least one.
I'm sorry. This will not end well. Psychonauts was amazing, but making a sequel almost half a decade later cannot bode well. Just look at Mafia 2.
i think if they released it as a 3DS title it could do very well. not only is the handheld medium perfect for platformers, but psychonaut might actually be the only game i can justify being 3D and looking good. needless to say, theres definitely potential, i mean, american mcgees alice is getting a sequel and no ones complaining and on top of that it proves theres potential publishers out there
I find myself enthusiastic, with two caveats:
1) Fix the boss fights.
2) Less pointless wandering around/collecting crap, more crazy mind games.
Pwetty pwease?

psychonauts was really clever, damn funny and an overall awesome game! whoever never played it, get the fuck on steam and buy it dammit! you wont regret it. lets suport the fresh creative minds of the field!
Schafer just got bad luck, his games are great. Man, brutal legend was great, even after some not so good reviews I got the game cheap occasionaly and later asked myself: why the heck ppl didnt like this game?

Psychonauts was a lot of fun, hopefully Double Fine gets the chance to follow it up - here's hoping.
@Korolev you act like someone who pirated a game will never pay for anything - I first played the game because someone gave me a pirated copy and told me to play it and that it was an awesome game - that said I am one of the aforementioned "pirates" and would absolutely purchase the game which I assume would be coming out on a console.
I love Tim Schafer, Secret of Monkey Island, Psychonauts, Brutal Legend and Costume Quest are among my favorite games in their respective genres. Sure they have their problems, but the writing and atmosphere of each game allows me to overlook the few flaws. A sequel to Psychonauts would be an instant purchase for me.
i love this genre, i like variety in my games and I am kind of sick of all the FPS's. Diversity is always good, and Tim's games have always been something I enjoyed. Are they a perfect 10 in a review sense, no. But they are good, fun, and worth my cash in my opinion. I am hoping he and company do more arcade too, Costume quest was awesome and it put me in the halloween spirit which the movies were not doing it this year. I couldn't put costume quest down and I hope they sequel it next year. Keep in mind, this is also from someone who really liked Brutal Legend too. It is too bad the genres they/he work on aren't the money making kind... But they are good!
