I heard something about this being in development. Anybody have more details?

A quick Google search resulted in a few articles saying Tim Schafer wanted to make it but has yet to find funding/publisher.

 

Psychonauts 2 would be great.

I actually abandoned Psychonauts after a few hours - I liked how funny and wacky it was, but platforming was never my forte and it just doesn't interest me unless it's done very simply and very well, a la 2D Mario. Couldn't wade through it.

I bought the game in a GOG sale a few months ago. I haven't installed it yet, but I fear that my experience will be quite similar to yours.

I played it a few years ago and it was still awesome.

It actually made me a bit nauseous, due to the camera movement. But the style was cool.

Very very important: disable the 'smart' camera. Or you will shriek louder than any known species of monkey.

 

In every other respect, it's just fun. Not work. Fun. The only complication with which is that if you try and forge through it then you will get frustrated. On the other hand if you eventually relax and just see attempt X as yet another chance to enjoy flipping about like a mentalist then it's pure delight.

Yes Please. Mr. Schafer.

I'd like a sequel too but this time without having to collect shadows during levels.

It was a great game. Its also the type of game that doesn't need a sequel.

It needs a spiritual sequel. End of story. Frankly I don't care if that comes in the form of a literal sequel.
