Okay, I've avoided and avoided...and it gives me something for the steam sale. Damn, I just occurred while I was typing this, I kind of feel bad about that. But I am getting this game.

Doesn't look revamped. Looks like it always did. The trailer is even in 4:3.

I know there's talk that they "fixed" the Meat Circus, but what else did they do (that matters in any way)?

I really enjoyed this game back when it came out. Too bad the xbox disc will never work on the 360.

I've bought this game three times. On release, when it came out on steam, and again as a gift for my sister's birthday. In other words, yo, I like this game a lot. Double Fine is the shit

I bought Costume Quest on steam too. I like it.

i am still recovering from the meat circus, since i finished the game a couple of years ago, so will give it a miss until they release it on PS3, if or when.

What's new about this? The Psychonauts has been on Steam for years, is it the Mac-support? Can't see any difference in the textures/models of the trailer. Weird that they just used regular old 4:3 resolution for the trailer aswell if it's upgraded..

Did they fix the part where the game is just not very fun to play?

@guanophobic: The trailer itself is just using old footage from the Xbox version, but the Steam one was recently updated to accommodate Steam achievements and (apparently) make the Meat Circus a bit easier in addition to the Mac support. Graphically, the game itself is still the same, although in all fairness this trailer is not the thing to consult if you want to see how well the visuals have held up on the PC specifically considering it's, well, not depicting the PC version.

Is this trailer fairly dark, with audio out of sync, for everybody else? It certainly is for me.

Also, I think this trailer gives away WAY too much, as far as seeing a ton of late game stages and plot development. But maybe I'm just saying that because I missed pretty much all of the media coverage when the game first came out, so when I finally got around to playing it on Steam, I pretty much went in blind.

One of my favorite games ever made, and the PC version is beautiful; it (obviously) put in shame both the PS2 and Xbox versions in every way.

For those claiming the game didn't age well: you're dead wrong. Controls are fine, graphics has its own personal [and weird] style, there is full support for widescreen and high resolutions, etc.

What's revamped? It looks the same. Stop with these so called HD versions. Keep the classics... Classics and make a new sequel already.

Still my favourite game of all time.

Maybe this re-release of the original Psychonauts means that Double Fine are gearing up for a sequel? I can only hope so!

As others have said, they added Steam Cloud support, Steam achievements, apparently made the Meat Circus a bit easier, and gave the game proper controller support.

At first I was disappointed that it wasn't featured in widescreen, then I saw the Xbox controls and "copyright 2004" and realized that this was an old trailer.

@Pepsiman: They improved the last circus level? Kudos to them. That was the only thing about this game that didn't rock.

It's weird - I beat the game back in the day and I literally don't recognize anything from that trailer.

The one thing I remember quite well is the Milk level and that wasn't shown.

@Jaded_Racoon: They are almost non-existent on PC. All of them so far haven't lasted more than a second.

I actually played Psychonauts recently for my 24 hour live stream for Extra Life. That game has a shit ton of things to collect.
