Psychonauts to Mac, Steam Version Gets Updated, iOS Stuff

@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.

@Ghostiet:

I just did it. Get on my level.

Looks like it might be time for me to finally play Psychonauts.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

The only game I ever bought on Steam and it only cost me a squid :D

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

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.

Wow.

They made the meat circus easier? Thank goodness.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Yet another reason for me to play this game!

I am the milkman, my milk is delicious.

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

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.

I dis-agree :)

If Double Fine got the IP back from Majesco, I'm sure we'll see more of this in the future.

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

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

You have no soul.

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

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

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.

This game is no longer available on the xbox marketplace.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

QUICKLOOK PLEASE

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.

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.

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

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*

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.

good timing for the yearly Halloween play through.

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.
