Is this still Richard Steven Horvitz doing the voice of Raz?

Now with even more Tim Burton!

The humor seems great and a VR point and click adventure is a really cool idea.

I totally forgot about seeing the world through another person's eyes in the original Psychonauts, but it provides a perfect explanation here for teleporting between different spots in VR, I like it.

Can't wait for the actual sequel, though this looks like a neat VR thing. The neat thing about Psychonauts is that the characters still work well because of how stylised they are. Love hearing all of the old voice actors return, too.

@erunamo: Shame it's not the neat "cardboard cutout" easter eggs that show every NPC's opinion of Raz through their appearance.

It's a bit weird but also exciting to return to this world with so little time having past. While I'm not so interested in this specifically as a VR game and more as a story delivering device, it might motivate me to pick up a PSVR headset-thing.

It's good to hear everyone's voices again, if I can get my hands on a PSVR I'll definitely pick this up.

This looks really cool! I'm happy that Double Fine is going back to Psychonauts, love that first game dearly.

Looks like I might be getting a headest... $_$

I'm not so happy about this. The original Psychonauts might be my all-time favorite game and I was so psyched when I heard they were finally making a sequel. But I don't want to have to buy a VR headset just to keep abreast of the story between the two.

3 minutes in and characters are so far away you can barely see them animated by the most talented creative team in the biz..... VR is doomed.

This looks like a (relatively) comprehensive VR experience, graphics are really nice, spirit of the game seems intact from the original (from what I recall)

I'd hope it's not too pricey but kinda cool.
