Psychonauts to Mac, Steam Version Gets Updated, iOS Stuff

If you've been looking for a reason to go back to Psychonauts, now's a good time.

The love for Double Fine's Psychonauts remains strong, even after all these years.
The love for Double Fine's Psychonauts remains strong, even after all these years.

Hey, remember Psychonauts? Double Fine does, as the company announced a slew of Psychonauts-related news today. Don't get too excited, though, as none of them involve a sequel or an HD update.

Instead, since getting its hands on the entirety of the Psychonauts IP, Double Fine has partnered with another studio to produce a Mac version of its quirky action platformer. The existing Steam version has also been tweaked to include cloud saves and Steam achievements.

The studio also claims to have crafted a "slightly modified" version of the not-so-beloved Meat Circus stage that closes out the game.

“We are really excited,” said the elusive double agent known as Tim Schafer in the press release, “to finally be answering fans’ requests for a more difficult Meat Circus.”

Lovely.

There's also a way to bring your love of Psychonauts on-the-go with the Psychonauts Vault Viewer, an iOS app featuring all of the game's Memory Vaults with some brand-new audio commentary.

Love this game, though I don't have the steam version, just the original x-box disc. Still, proud I bought this the first week it came out, this game needs a sequel.

And I do not envy a harder Meat Circus. Fuck that level with all the intensity I can muster.

This game has been sitting in my Steam list for ages, unplayed of course like so many other holiday sale bought games.. But this time that seems like it ain't that bad that I haven't played it yet.

Great news that Double Fine now own the rights. Perhaps they'll convince a publisher to cough up some money for a sequel. I wonder if the GOG.COM version will be updated also.....I just bought it off there two weeks ago!

Got too many games on Steam already so I can't really buy anything full priced or it feels like wasted purchase. Hopefully this will be discounted in the Christmas sales because it's definitely an excellent game.

So if they have full IP control I hope they do a Psychonauts related downloadable title.

@Krystal_Sackful: Yeah, this is the one thing. I am happy for mac that they are getting the game there, I love my steam version on PC, but wow I want that commentary. Give me something for Windows/Mac even, I would not dream of asking for on Android since pffft porting something from iOS? Who does that.
