[Game Chat] V: In The Year 20XX AD...

As long as all Notch does is provide his generous amounts of cash instead of tinkering with a successful formula then all will be right with the world

That being said I wouldn't mind a very small cameo of notch or Minecraft, but I'm also glad he says he'll be staying out of it... IF it happens... which I hope.

I am crying tears of happy.
So many tears of happy, in fact, that I defied the laws of physics long ago and am currently knee deep in my own gleebrine.
Wow gleebrine is a really awkward word and I will never use it again.

GLEEROBRINE okay yeah you're right bad idea

Problem is, Psychonauts wasn't really a "successful formula". It was a really well-told story with interesting characters and visually engaging areas, but... let's not kid ourselves, the platforming was pretty weak, and it was a platform game. Clearly Schafer can do the same stuff he does well again with Psychonauts 2, but aside from the aesthetic and the writing, Psychonauts' movement mechanics and level design could use a lot of improvement. I wouldn't mind seeing Notch take an active role in development, since he obviously knows what he's doing and isn't going to try to shoehorn some kind of procedurally generated sandbox world into Schafer's pet project.

not that creeper!censors wouldn't totally be the bomb but that's besides the point

[Jacquerel]

I'm not sure Minecraft's platforming is really any better than Psychonauts'
Why would he be able to do better?
If he actually had experience in something that Psychonauts was lacking in then I'd agree but there's not a great deal of overlap between Minecraft and Psychonauts where he can use the experience he has

[-Benedict]

Yeah, I'm not saying he has any particularly relevant experience with that kind of game (which is probably why he doesn't plan to get involved)- I'm mainly just saying that the original Psychonauts wasn't a successful formula so much as a collection of really clever ideas that shined despite some serious flaws in execution. Psychonauts could probably thrive in any gameplay genre, since it really isn't about the mechanics of interaction as much as the character design and writing.

[Hanky Panky]

With Notch's money and Schafer's creativity, I'm sure they could find someone who could do quality platforming.

[DJ-P0N3]

But who is great at platforming and willing to fund Psychonauts 2???

[Toast]

ME! I just need to be funded so I can fund Psychonauts 2.
OHHHH YOU MEAN SOMEONE WHO CAN PROGRAM PLATFORMING. I was assuming you meant someone who could watch people platform.

[Gzar]

Notch replied in that Reddit thread that he has no intentions of influencing the creative process. Plus, They've played that game style before and I'm sure they can improve on it. Double Fine may not always handle gameplay well, but that's because they're doing a different thing every time. At least this time they might be able to refine a gameplay they've already worked with.

Did y'all know:

- Radiant Historia is less than a year old but is going for stupid money on eBay
- Atlus asked on twitter if it'd be worth their money to do a second press, and there has been an enthusiastic response

You could be able to buy it at a reasonable price in the near future.

Fuuuuuuuu I still need to buy that.

Really need to get my hands on this. Much like first-party Nintendo games, I am of the opinion that anything by Atlus is basically gold.

[Superfrequency]

I suggest letting Atlus know you are willing to put money down so they will do a reprint.

They also posted about it on their Facebook page, where I am one of about 1, 200 likes.

So, how about that Darkseed 2?

Weeeeeeelllllll, Atlus is limited in what they can export, so they are also selective about what they export....

Couple of things:

- When I checked in the game resell site I go to, the price was around 70 bucks for a USED copy.
- There is a used copy sitting in this store I know going for 20 bucks.
- When I bought my own copy from this other store, they were really surprised that I was looking for it, and I didn't tell him that it was like a friggin diamond in the rough finding a new copy.

Anyway, provided that the used copy is still there, I feel like it's my duty to ship it to somebody else who will appreciate it.

[Solaris]

That would be Very Cool of you!

I hope they reprint RH because it would be great to have.

[Nopad]

Muh-ee?

actually i'm too busy someone else would make better use of it

[Theswweet]

...I'll take it, providing it doesn't reprint.

[Chocolate Pi]

I'm not sure I follow the sentiment of "Man, I hope Notch doesn't screw up a Psychonauts sequel!" Of all sequels to get screwed up, we'd worry about Psychonauts--a sequel that had roughly a 0% chance of getting made until recent events? And of all people to worry about screwing up a sequel, Notch?

I'm sure 5 years from now we'll all be playing the game and talking about how it's almost as good as the new Arrested Development.

Should I get Art Academy: First semester on Club Nintendo?
