Psychonauts to Mac, Steam Version Gets Updated, iOS Stuff

@Crunchman said:

Does anyone know if these PC versions include support for gamepads? Some native support for the Xbox 360 gamepad would be pretty cool.

Last I checked, it doesn't unfortunately.

I started playing this a few months ago, and while I loved it at first, I really have no desire to finish it. The style just wore on me after a while. There are some awesome bits in it though.

I've never understood the complaints over the Meat Circus, its honestly not that hard.

However, all this updating is fantastic news. Time to go through Psychonauts an eighth time.

The only part of the meat circus that I remember is a part where you're climbing on some sort of fence while being chased by the water and I could never figure out how you were supposed to get through it without getting hurt.

Actually I found a video on youtube that showed that part, it's the part where he keeps dying cause the fire wont let him get high enough to make a weird jump around the outside and grab the other fence. You can make it without, as I did, taking damage from the fire so you can use your invinsibility time to get higher up when you jump, but it's damn near impossible.

For anyone who hasn't played the game SPOILERS obviously.

alright, ten dollars on steam seems like a hard deal to pass... should i get it? i've heard about how good this game is since it came out, but i never got around to acquiring it. any suggestions?

Best reason to play this again. Woop, woop, woop.

No it ISN'T a good time to go back to psychonauts Patrick you fucking nut, all the games are comin out now.

Welp, time to buy this for the fourth time.

I'm glad to hear that they've managed to recover an IP.

It does now, with this new update!

I wonder..I already have the PC version of Psychonauts for Steam, it would be nice if that just became Mac compatible as I only use Macs now.

Also great news on them getting the IP back! Sequals and HD remakes ahoy!

Psychonauts now supports SteamPlay, so once the Mac version is added to Steam, you'll have access to it.

So i'm not the only one with multiple copies of this game..

Yes, Mac! I only rented Psychonauts back in the day, loved it and always wished I owned it, and seeing as I only have a Mac atm this is great!

I have played to completion the xbox version, ps2 version, the xbox version on the 360, and the pc version twice. Now I have to get a Mac and Play it on that platform.

good timing for the yearly Halloween play through.

Ya I own this on PC and XBox. Such a good game.

Wish they would get to that sequel already, it had a good cliff hanger. Its also a fun game, for what that's worth.

@Shaka999: Yes, its worth it if you like platformers.

YES! This is awesome news, I've wanted a new reason to play through it again. I hope this means that we will be getting news on a Pyschonauts 2. Oh I hope so! *crosses fingers*

I bet it'll be hints of a sequel in the update.

In an absolute sense, compared to other games, no, the Meat Circus is probably not that hard. But relative to the rest of Psychonauts, it comes out of nowhere. You've got a fun, lighthearted game with a lazy difficulty curve and all sorts of fascinating art direction, collectibles, and hilarious tidbits to distract your focus from the very forgiving platforming. Then, you get to the Meat Circus and now you've got to pay attention to those jumps. People complain about the Meat Circus because it's just not the game they've been playing for the previous eight hours. I'm with you in that I didn't find it hard, but I can certainly see where the complaints come from.

QUICKLOOK PLEASE

I already own this on Steam, so.. thank you Double Fine.

@Alraiis: I contend that the level with Napoleon Bonaparte was pretty tough; you had cannons firing at you while you were platforming.

Gah! Steam Achievements. Ok, time to play Psychonauts.

Hd remake? Just like the splinter cell collection, whats the point? The pc versions are already in hd, and look rather great. Psychonauts looks amazzzing even today on the pc.

Can we use a 360 controller with the PC version? As in, will I NOT need Xpadder or similar program?

I beat this game a couple years ago and it is totally gnarly, as advertised. There is one room I entered that I still think about out of the blue.

I don't know what the Meat Circus is, but the suburb level in that picture is the one I couldn't get past. I got stuck trying to find something and after several hours of wandering around, just decided it wasn't worth it.

Used a 360 controller on the steam version last time. I don't use xpadder so it seems so.

The 360 controller worked, technically, but you couldn't map anything to the triggers because it didn't recognize them as inputs. It made mapping the controls a little awkward unless you used Xpadder or whatever.

As of this update, the game is able to fully recognize the 360 controller, and presumably other newer gamepad standards as well.

I tried to play it and thought it was mediocre and unfunny.

This game is no longer available on the xbox marketplace.

Technically the game is in HD already, at least if you have the PC version. Just crank the resolution up. It's not complicated:)

I got this on GOG some time ago - my laptop's a couple years old, so I stick mostly to PS2-era gaming (or equivalent) when it comes to PS2. And Psychonauts is one of my favorites. If Double Fine got the IP back from Majesco, I'm sure we'll see more of this in the future. Maybe an episodic sequel on DLG channels? Like Sam & Max....but with a platformer? That seems doable.

@nohthink: I'm not sure where you live, but it's £5.99 on the UK Steam.

I just want my Games On-Demand version back...

You have no soul.

I would really like to see a HD version of Psychonauts come to PS3 and 360.

This. I thought it wasn't great when I original played it, then I found a boxed copy of the game on PC in some weird store for $2 last year and tried it again. Still not good.

They did. As of about a month or two ago.

I dis-agree :)

@ZombiePie: That's changed now. Double Fine gets all the money from Psychonauts sales now.

I am the milkman, my milk is delicious.

Yet another reason for me to play this game!

I still haven't finished playing Psychonauts. The last time I played on the PC, the game gave me a big headache due to motion sickness. The camera and characters moved too fast- made my eyeballs spin, and it made me sick. Am I the only one who had this problem? :P

I hope this time I get to finish Psychonauts on the Mac.

My favourite game :) The character designs and the whole look of it is fantastic.

One of my favorite games ever! What the hell, I'll buy it one more time!

And nobody fucking cares since nobody has MACs and Macs still don't have any games to make them worth anything more than fucking 20 years later, even fucking free linux is pwning macs in every detail and it has more fucking games and the OS is useful.

Psycohnauts has my favourite level design in a game. Even Meat Circus, which was unnecessarily difficult, was a great concept.

The game has good writing and great characters, but I found it PAINFULLY unfunny. The level design is imaginative, but it's a bit frustrating. Overall, pretty good, but nah, I ain't gonna fall for all that hype again.

They made the meat circus easier? Thank goodness.

Wow.

Fffff- I don't have an iAnything. But I want to hear that commentary. I wish they would post it online somewhere.
