Schafer's mind, Psychonauts' history, probed by 1up 26 Mar, 2005, 13:10 / 4 comments


1up.com has a new preview up of everyone's favorite upcoming game, Psychonauts. Their preview is a bit different from the others because in addition to playing the game, the 1up guys got a chance to sit down with Tim Schafer and chat it up for a bit.

While it does talk about the gameplay a bit, the end result is the article winds up being more a "the true history of Psychonauts" than anything else.
"We wanted it to be a sort of self-tuning game where players who are talented at combat and physical stuff can clear some of the trickier action-oriented puzzles through skill alone. But people like me, without super reflexes, might find it more fun to wander around the camp, looking under the trees and up on rocks, finding things -- the pirate scope, the glass eye, and such, finishing the scavenger hunt, and therefore powering up to get past the puzzles."
Check out the rest of the preview over at 1up.com.

    I like that video montage thing. The game looks like it's really fast-paced!
