Psychonauts

[Aift]

Wow.

This was actually a game that was kiddy, but actually fun to play. I remember when the demo for this gam came out, and I immediatley picked it up at my local GameStop the next afternoon. I am just so glad that this game is finally getting Backwards Compatibility on the Xbox 360. For a developers first game, this is an amazing start; I don't really think that well-known developers could have made a game of this quality. We need to give Microsoft a round of applause for making this game Backward Compatible.

3 Cheers for Psychonauts.

Actually it's not really their first game, the designer (Tim Schafer) is a legend of old LucasArts fame His track record:

• The Secret of Monkey Island (1990), JVC, LucasArts
• Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991), LucasArts
• Day of the Tentacle (1993), LucasArts
• Full Throttle (1995), LucasArts
• Grim Fandango (1998), LucasArts
• Psychonauts (2005), DoubleFine, Majesco

Which is, to say the least, very respectable As for Psychonauts, I still haven't played it, but given all the hype I've seen over the last few months I might go pick it up at budget when the B/C arrives

I've played every Tim Shafer game from front to back and from back to front.. didn't know Psychonauts was his work and thus never payed any attention to it but if it's anything like one of his previous games, with the same humor, then Ill deff. will try out Psychonauts.

WOW I never new Schafer was on Psychonauts either. I also played through all of his games except for Grim Fandango. I was planning on picking up Psychonauts as soon as it got Backwards Compatible but now that I know Tim's on it I want to get it ever more. In fact I played through the original Monkey Island games a few months back and I played through DoTT a bunch of times. Can't wait to play this one, seriously.

I think I saw that headline and went 'sure you do' and then went back to studying my books again.

Shame on you

Curry!

No, this was not Tim's first game. But it was the team's first game; Tim Schafer was just the Senior Producer/Designer.

Correct, and on the MI series he was just an assistant next to lead designer Ron Gilbert Fact remains that it wasn't his first game ofcourse

Dude, dont forget Indiana Jones. He worked on that as well

[Curry]

Hmm not in his official track records. Not in a leading role I assume?
