Massive Psychonauts Content Explosion 03 Feb, 2004 / Comments: 10


Thanks to Cabel for pointing out that there was a massive, fatty update to the Double Fine products page, featuring the long promised (both by 2002's self aware news page and Tim Schafer himself) beefy collection of Psychonauts screenshots! The usual list of press quotes about how the excellent game Psychonauts will destroy you have also changed.

In the words of reader Remixor, "I'm so glad I don't have to worry about this game. I don't at all feel like I'm setting myself up for a fall." The Double Fine action news page was also updated, of course, with bonus jokes for you to enjoy, mostly concerning the word "manky."

Update: Beefy screenshot collection to de-beefify come dawn! The action news page has been updated to let us know that the currently gigantic screenshots will be scaled down to far less awesome sizes sometime tomorrow. So, if you're looking for an awesome Psychonauts wallpaper, you'd better hurry and get it now (or just ask on our forums, where surely everyone and their mother has downloaded all screenshots ever for safekeeping).

    I think the hype for this game is so huge that it's bound too be a little disappointing... :) (Although everything we've seen so far looks awesome.)

    Bite your tongue!

    Er...what I mean is: you're wrong.

    Those screenshots rock! I hadt to make one of them my wallpaper... I just couldn't resist their awesomeness.

    Interestingly, I don't see any kind of interface for the game. Maybe it's because it's promotional stuff but I wonder what kind of knick-knacks we'll see on the screen.

    I hopea someone's gonna mirror all them purdy, big files before they go down ta Smalltown.

    Excellent!

    Not everything adds up though... Unless I am terribly mistaken, almost half (12) of those screenshots were leaked around June of last year. Why would Tim be posting the suposed 'leaked' shots that represent, at least, a year old build of the game with some rather dodgy textures? It makes me wonder if the other screens are from the same build.

    Bask in all its mankiness-free glory :)

    Well, it's true.
