Wow, seeing Raz's voice come out of what to me looks like the stereotypical nice grandpa is trippy as hell.
paulunga haha yeah so high pitched and unexpected
that was awesomely crazy as fuck.
Isn’t he like 52 or something?
Looking forward to the The Making of Psychonauts 2 documentary!
Same! What other company gives us this behind-the-scenes look into their development? And if they did, they still wouldn't be as entertaining as Tim.
Check out the making of Pillars of Eternity, it's available on TH-cam now. Very well produced, just like the Double Fine ones.
hey, indeimaus! nice to see you here. had no idea you liked psychonauts. :)
kiss me
This is my first time seeing the original Psychonauts graphics in a little while and I'd just like to remark what an absurd step up the Rhombus graphics are. Like, yes, that's kind of to be expected with a 12-year gap in industry progress between games, but still, Double Fine really made the most of it.
I'd say quite the opposite, from my own experience. Texturing aside in some areas, Psychonauts for PC really holds up well. I was playing it recently in 1440p downsampled to 1080p, after putting up with compatibility mode shenanigans I was surprised by how well the artstyle masks its faults. Of course, I can't play Rhombus so I'm simply going by TH-cam footage, #exclusivityruinslives
This new title looks like Psychonauts 1 with fancier lighting and larger areas (without loading doors/arches), and that's a massive plus for me.
I don't agree, Bad Texture. I played both games: Psychonauts 1 on max settings on my PC and Rhombus of Ruin at PSX. Rhombus is a considerable step up in my opinion.
Bad Texture That's fair. I was mostly thinking of the return of a certain spoilery character and how much I felt their excellent voice work was underserved by the original's stiff visuals - compared to the ostentatious, mincing workout they get in Rhombus. That Psychonauts was able to overcome its 2005-ness through sheer charisma more often than not doesn't keep me from marveling at where that charisma's able to get it nowadays.
+hall9111 It looks amazing when you look at the lighting and effects, but what I was pointing out is the opposite; I'd say other than some select textures, Psychonauts 1 just still looks great. Downsampled from 1440p and 100Hz, it's still responsive, and the artwork still looks fine. The texturework and animation is quite a bit more rough around the edges, though, and that seems to be where the new entries excel most.
Psychonauts 2 has much more visible improvements in the lighting and animation quality, and honestly I wouldn't want it any other way. It feels like taking steps forward instead of being a different game, and pretty much everything that DF has shared on the new title(s) seems to fit that description. It's continuing an existing game instead of being some radical departure or grand redesign, and I feel that pretty much anyone who liked the first game is probably going to like this one just as much.
That, and it probably looks better than I can give them credit for. I missed the backing period due to some crappy circumstances and won't be attending any conventions; the only way I'm trying these out is by preordering Psychonauts 2 and [hopefully] playing the RoR port to GearVR (aka a complete pipedream).
i cant wait to play a million VR wheelchair games. spy wheelchair, gadget wheelchair, horror wheelchair, race wheelchair, bentley from sly cooper games...
Sony owes you one, DoubleFine! I wasn't at all interested in VR until this, and now I will definitely buy one!
Man, Double Fine looks like such a fun place to work
I NEED that phychonauts hoodie
It was nice to see Brad hanging out with the Double Fine gang again!
His Back to the Future allegory made so much sense. I always kinda wondered why they made that decision, and I didn’t really like it. Now I understand and I like it a bit more.
I loved Psychonauts. Now my 3 year old son *loves* Psychonauts. I'm getting Psychonauts 2 for PC. So I NEEED Rhombus for my VIVE.
☢ ᴅᴠᴅ ᴘʟᴀʏᴀ ☣ isn't it amazing to shape the new generation with things that you loved as a kid
Just finished playing this! - Congratulations on making something really special for VR. This was really well done and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was so cool jumping to so many different perspectives and really playing with that rather than just using it to move around the environments. My favourite part was the doll's house probably because it was so unique. I'd recommend this above any other PSVR game so far!!
ducknet Yes, the doll's house part is great, it reminded me of Michel Gondry's visual style. This game made me think that vr could be the future of graphic adventure games.
Just finished playing on psvr, this game is by far my favorite psvr game. I'm so ready for psychonauts 2.
Tim Schafer and the rest of Double Fine team combined with the TH-cam Channel and 2 Player Production is pure gold.
oh my god i didnt imagine this guy make Rez voice,its so amazing!!!!!
Rhombus of Ruin was a fantastic VR game, and has help us very well in 2021. I hope Double Fine return in the future to the VR platform, I would love to see what else they can make with the medium.
I never played a VR game without touch controllers that didn't feel lacking, till this. This proves that the tools aren't important when it comes to two players studios. you guys are so creative, I enjoyed the whole game and the story behind it. I also wish to work for a studio like yours in the future.
I just beat the game and my nostalgic jitters were still going for hours thank you so much for giving me 2 of my favorite things (VR and Psychonauts) and putting them into one package I wish I could still have my name in the hall of brains but it's too late can't wait to see what you guys do!
Already finished Rhombus of Ruin and LOVED it! Thanks Double Fine!(too bad I already had that pre-order bonus XD) So hyped for Psychonauts 2! You guys makes ones of the most awesomes games! Keep up the great work!
Dimitri Beauchamp same
Dimitri Beauchamp totally probably my favorite Video Game Studio
Managed to squeeze 15 mins in before leaving for work...
Awesome!
Meeting the characters again... Awesome!
Visually, compared the the high bar set by BatmanVR and Wayward Sky? Awesome!
This documentary series? Awesome!
The price for Rhombus? Awesome.
The knowledge Psychonauts 2 is on the way?
Preeeetty fine.
Psychonauts 2 out next year? Doublefine ;)
I'd love to see some of the concept art you guys did during development.
I really can see the passion for making games, love it. keep it up
I want that psychonauts hoodie XD
Man i love these videos, i am very curious and i always want to know more about what you guys are doing over there, it is fascinating!
I'd love to play this on a vive or oculus hmd. Be a shame if this could only ever be played on psvr.
There's a conspicuous shot of one of the devs wearing an Oculus dev kit at the end...
Doesn't have to mean anything. Oculus Headsets are much easier to come by so I'd assume most of the team works with the Oculus (on PC, which is also what you use to work with the Unreal engine) and then periodically push it over to the PS4
+Oliver Eberlei Still, that means existing (though quite possibly unfinished) builds and testing on an Oculus. It'll happen... hopefully.
Or, DF will read the fine print of their contract with Starbreeze and go "OH S@#%, WE SIGNED TO MAKE A STARVR EXCLUSIVE!" No matter what happens, speculation is pointless :\
it's out for HTC VIVE and Oculus Rift, you got your wish (and mine) come true. Now I hope they do a port of the platformer Psychonauts for VR like Lucky's Tale on the Oculus Rift. That would be so cool.
This is SO cool!
To see some behind the scenes action during the making of this amazing game is one of the best things ever!
Also, He's a grey beard now?!
I'm sad i won't be able to play this, hope it some how finds its way to the vive.
Have this downloaded and ready to go... now if only I had time to play it. Soon! Soooooon. Spoooon.
This is brilliant. Thank you guys for sharing. Always an inspiration!
why would anyone want to leave double fine? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM US TIM SCHAFER!?!?!
CRAB SANDWICH

Looks like they originally planned for Dogen to go with Raz and the others, and that his main ability would be confusion.
I hope this makes its way to the Rift! I loved Psychonauts and this looks great! Keep it up. :)
Great documentary as always, would love to give this game a try if I can get my hands on a VR unit at some point
One of the most bealtiful Game for PSVR ever!!!! together with bound
Been working on this since the Rift development-kit days, huh? I hope the PSVR exclusivity deal is a limited-time contract, 'cause I'd love to buy this on Oculus Home some day (I've been trying to convince my PS4-owning friends to get PSVR and let me play RoR on their consoles, but sadly no luck. :-p )
14:28 That is the best feeling ever
I just finished this game and loved it! Short but worth it!
No game spoilers only up to the E3 demo.
Tight
Fascinating stuff!
Oh man, I miss Brad :(
Yea, i didnt even know he left.
adambombing me too, man. Such a funny guy.
Yeah what an quitter! I'll his bright smile and turkey wrench/crab sandwich design philosophies! Do we know where he is now?
At least he is no doubt doing great things at Valve!
Likewise. I only dip in and out of DFP stuff. Sad to hear he's moved on but I'm sure its to something exciting.
As a person who is deaf in one ear and has a ruined vestibular system (all from Meniere's disease) I really hate the trend towards VR. VR to me is simply something I can never, ever take part in.
Jafafa Hots There are types pf vr where you don't need to use a head set!
Like the Wii and Kinect!
I hope this game will come to PC
Hey, how can my hands on one of those psychonaut jackets?
is this possible to play without the VR, but just with the ps4? please tell me yes...
Bought it 1 hour ago and played a little bit. It's really fun! Too bad its Tuesday and I need to work tomorrow!
was a good game. Much prefer to naturally move about, but still good
I may have to buy a PS4 for this! Great work guys!
Michael Tysoe I know this isn't what you meant but I had fun imagining that you already owned a PSVR and used it for various everyday tasks before just now considering the purchase of a PS4 to link it up with.
I just needed a new headset and hey, it looked cool!
Michael Tysoe I subscribed I hope I see more modeling creativity on your channel in the future
Me too!
Brad! :D
So... when are you guys releasing Morry's album?
Please I need this
ahhhh This makes me miss DFA SO MUCH! :( :( :(
Man I missed these! Will you do another Amnesia Fortnight this year finally?
*crab sandwich*
wait, Brad is back in DoubleFine? I thought he left
Any chance of a Steam VR release?
I want to work here :(
Is the PsVr really hard to controll?
As someone who never played the original, this game was fun (if overpriced). It didn't make me want to pick up the sequel, but I'll be balls deep into whatever your next VR project is.
Man, how long ago was this in development that Brad Muir is still there?
kinda cant play because i dont have any VR set....so kinda sucks
random idea if the devs read this comment maybe a freeze power for raz given pyrokinesis is in the first game could make fun puzzles. also huge fan love your work played the first game to death
Brad Muir's mouth bothers me.
You're thinking out loud, Sir.
His mouth is weird.
