Psychonauts 2 - Level revisits cutscenes (plus extra scenes)

Sequel to the video I did to the first game; which is apparently almost a year old now.
Golly

[@arcanefury3666]

So Jack Black's character sees you as another Jack Black character. Neat.

[@diaborodevil3161]

Not just that he sees you as the ultimate roadie

[@LxstMxmxry]

It’s a reference to Brütal Legend, where Jack Black plays the main character, a roadie

[@twistedwolf8422]

⁠@@LxstMxmxry even more hilariously genus when Raz said he’d sneak around back and clean up LIKE A Roadie

[@reallybigcircle]

Gristol is so close to realizing what the real situation was. He is thinking and asking questions, so at least there is progress.

[@sapphiredawn4321]

"A good roadie knows his whole job is to make someone else look good, keep someone else safe, help someone else do what they were put here to do. A good roadie stays out of the spotlight. If he's doing his job right, you don't even know he's there. Once in a while he might step on stage just to fix a problem, to set something right. But then before you even realize he was there or what he did, he's gone." -Eddie Riggs i like that raz

[@Karlos1234ify]

Brütal Legend was awesome

[@sdtwirix1126]

"He means loot" I mean, she's not wrong. Also, I just though of Raz getting a "Robber/Bandit" archetype.

[@dasirrlicht5415]

I think if we get a third (fourth?) Psychonauts, it probably gonna merge clayrvoiance with archetypes, so you summon archetypes of Raz depending on other peoples perception of him. Could give you a lot of fun talks, and makes them situational more or less useful.

[@kakazi2170]

One of loboto's vault memories show the psychonauts as bandits

[@sdtwirix1126]

@@kakazi2170 Ah yes. Anarchist Sasha.

[@sakura368]

"like a roadie" jack black is always an amazing reference such as in brutal legend

[@noisyphilosopherkrk522]

At least the prince is arguably growing beyond his his mistaken beliefs and hopefully gets the mental help he needs, after all though many gloss over it those mental enemies were there Panic attacks, judges, etc Its honestly surprising he didn't crack under it all if those are any indicator as to how very screwed up he was by the world Tragic, annoyingly selfish but still tragic though the only admirable quality of significance besides taste in food and such he has is probably sheer will if nothing else to note, admittedly he's on some level realizes that his beliefs are fake as indicated by the mindscape itself and just needed a whack to push him past it

[@prcervi]

the only enemy to not appear in his mind is doubt, at least when we ran through there earlier it's a bit of a stretch for the narcissist to truly reflect, but at least after he's showing an ounce more self-awareness that the version of events he had as a kid aren't exactly true to life

[@ClintonKE]

@@prcervi Everyone calls him a narcissist and he is but he was made that way. Of course he would see the protesters and stuff as stupid when they were washed away. He was almost killed by a mob and would have been if it weren't for Lucy. Now when he "saved" her and she tried to kill him of course that would be the chance for him to change as well.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

More importantly all those emotions are found in a single room where the protesters had attacked him in his memory, I feel like this was the moment that made him snap into seeing maligula as a God like figure and completely dehumanizing the protestor which would the the catalyst to his current mental state, including the emotional neglect from his parents and social isolation , its no wonder he ended up the man he is, hope shasa actually gives him the therapy he needs and not the cruel experiments houlas joked about.

[@taddad2641]

That is actually really true. They do deliberately set up what enemies and obstacles are in a mind after all. Way back in psychonauts 1 there wasn't a single censor in the milkman conspiracy level, not a one, not until the alien element that was put into his mind got woken up.

[@EspoirDuVide]

Helmut sees Raz as Eddie, that's so CUTE♥

[@22kingdomheartsfan]

I love they put Brutal Legends reference in this game! God I want to play that game again!

[@christoffersjberg933]

OMG THANK YOU, you showed all the cool door designs. You have the slightest idea how hard that is to find?

[@visualoddities7394]

Haha I actually considered axing the doors because I worried it would be too much filler. But they provided a nice transition (and I do like the door designs). Glad you appreciate, thank you.

[@zyxelztrife2408]

8:16 It would seem the only change Gristol ought to be capable of would be to eat more types of food other than caviar. Seriously, this guy and his family ruins other people’s lives just so he could eat fish eggs. Bast-jerk.

[@blackdemonknight]

Yeah a lot of the tragedies that befell the Psychic Seven and Raz's family can be traced back to Gristol and his family as the route cause

[@vasheeri]

have you seen the state of the mail room? the dude ate other things, but his main driving force, his obession and motivation was caviar. the fact that its "all gone" and he is questioning events leads me to believe there is hope for him, but eh... slow and steady....

[@diegoizaguirre3452]

I’d say his father was the cause of everything wrong in psychonauts (the disbanding of the psychonauts May have brought oleander the movtive to take over the world)

[@ClintonKE]

@@blackdemonknight Don't be blaming the son for the sins of the father now. Everyone calls him a narcissist and he is but he was made that way. Of course he would see the protesters and stuff as stupid when they were washed away. He was almost killed by a mob and would have been if it weren't for Lucy.

Thanks for taking the time to document this, Double-Fine really went all out with the little details in this installment.

i love the brutal legend reference when using clairvoyance on the psyking

Hm, you learn something new everyday

[@lunari64_]

@@visualoddities7394 yep! "Stage" left and right are from the perspective of the actor/performer on the stage, "house" left and right are from the perspective of the audience (the "house.") So "stage" left and right are going to appear reversed from the audience and vice versa.

[@rosykindbunny1313]

If Gloria or Becky were there they'd be having a stroke from that

[@artmanxp]

Was that a brutal leagues ref

[@blue-flare7060]

Yeup and thats a very nice touch imo

same company and the character is voiced by jackblack so its a fun reference to Eddy.

Essentially when you first get mental connection you try it out with cilantro and then good and bad

i dont know why, but this game felt less psychonauts to me :( i liked it, but the overall themes and levels didn't have that weird touch the stuff from psychonauts 1 had, idk.
