    Psychonauts 2 is damn near the idea of a perfect videogame, it's fun, challenging, and beautiful, emotionally and aesthetically. Everything from the soundtrack to the voice-acting is just full of passion and love, kind of a trend with Double Fine games.

      Why would you want Double Fine to retread more mundane and already done IPs rather than give us new game worlds that we know are going to be rich, unique, surprising and imaginative? This sort of thinking is part of the reason why people don’t try their games and miss out what they have to offer.

      I'd love to see a studio that took that genre on in this age re-imagine some old classics in their own fashion. Not everything new has to be this brand new grandiose idea, thought up out of thin air.
