Tim Schafer on Psychonauts 2's Success, Double Fine's Future, and More

[@pilgrim1174]

We need more games like Psychonauts 2, funny, witty and a blast to play.

[@garfieldrocks]

YES

[@countzer0408]

Yup their next title better be Psychonauts 3.

[@Wazediou]

@@countzer0408 nah, let them make what they want

[@ragingrabbit7163]

EXACTLY

[@danielproctor5237]

Yes please!!

[@beartackle]

Psychonauts 2 was in my top 3 games of 2021. Can't wait to play what they come up with next!

[@redhunter1535]

Hope you have an Xbox then

[@ShenDoodles]

Psychonauts 2 is possibly the best 3D platformer in a decade. I’m sad it got shafted by so many awards shows.

[@MegaLPlover]

It'd because Deathloop was a "10/10"

[@benchmarked7771]

@@MegaLPlover for real it baffles me how deathloop won best art direction over psychonauts 2. Did the critics even play the game?

[@BeardedVul7ure]

@@benchmarked7771 yeah, that was outrageous!

[@chrismichaelis7259]

It's because no one wants to play anything without guns anymore. So they're not hardly looking at this game for awards

[@jeddediajohnson9179]

Media bias at its best.

[@jonathanmather6897]

Hopeful for a threequel, but I’m excited to see whatever Double Fine decides to produce.

[@Frankzoar]

What an amazing game Psychonauts 2 was. Truly a wonderful experience.

[@riotbreaker3506]

Psychonauts 2 is damn near the idea of a perfect videogame, it's fun, challenging, and beautiful, emotionally and aesthetically. Everything from the soundtrack to the voice-acting is just full of passion and love, kind of a trend with Double Fine games.

[@TheButcherGorr]

Double fine will be one of Microsofts’ top studios. Got a hunch

[@adamgax7374]

Can't forget ID software

[@PhilipMller]

Tim Schafer is such a legend. Honestly my favorite video game creator ever.

[@ryanwilson3882]

Tim Schafer is awesome. DarksydePhil has massive respect for this guy after his Psychonauts 2 playthrough. If a dev can turn a hater into a supportive fan, that’s quite impressive.

[@thediabolicalraisin8953]

Wait, THAT DarksydePhil?

[@paldinox1]

I'm surprised he actually enjoyed the game, wow.

[@rjbalbuena7789]

This was my 2021 game of the year. It had so much heart put into it. Thank you Tim and the entire Double Fine production team for this most earnestly crafted experience.

[@antonioenrico]

Hopefully this gives hope for Brutal Legend 2

[@TheGingiGamer]

Or at least a remaster

[@Padon84]

Yeah they left the game with so many questions and a cliffhanger.

[@kizzgizz]

Both awards are well deserved imo. Game was awesome and Tim IS a legend.

[@dead_marker377]

Brutal legend 2 is now a necessity plz Tim and Phil

[@Cinemaphile7783]

Psychonauts was the game that brought me back to platformers and made platformers fun again.

[@sinepilot]

Same

[@stefanmoore1323]

Tim: We want to make new IP Ryan: Sooooooooooo when are you going to make Banjo kazooie!?!?!? what activision IP would you want to use to make a game?!!?!? chill Ryan let a creator, create

[@jennacarney8012]

Psychonauts was always my absolute favorite video game and the sequel did not disappoint! So worth the wait.

[@blackchaos87]

Still wating for some kind of continuation to Brutal Legend.

[@oskarikarkkainen5606]

It was my GOTY 2021. Had a blast.

[@mashedpotatos3750]

They deserve it man. Their creativity is unmatched.

[@sixinthehead3076]

Brutal legend two please its so needed

[@misterdonlon]

In an age where so many games are copying trends and becoming more and more similar; the uniqueness of Psychonauts and Doublefine's creativity deserves to continue. (says a guy who analyzes these levels over on my channel... a bit bias but hey)

[@ZurRuheGelegt]

Really hope that they plan to go ahead with brutal legends 2

[@user-ij3uq2rq5n]

Bring me Brutal Legend 2!

[@MrJblazini]

What a great interview. Tim is such a legend in the industry.

[@jimbosavage9066]

We need that brutal legend 2

[@Cantoinferno7272]

Bring Brutal Legend back! You can do it!!!

[@DrProfessorPatrickMD]

Give us the brutal legend sequel the world needs

[@dawsonhelf7922]

I’m glad Psychonauts 2 was a success, the world of psychonauts has left me wanting more of that world!

[@nerto5425]

We need brutal Legend 2 Microsoft and EA

[@redhunter1535]

No we need Psychonauts 3

[@oooo1110]

Awsome game 10/10

[@mrfate8355]

Hopefully in psychonauts 3 we get to use the psychic jet and do missions all over the world.

[@EpiscopalLamb]

I'd like to see a more developed post-deluge Grulovia.

[@j.h.181]

BRÜTAL LEGEND World Tour!!!!

[@metalsnake27]

MAKE BRUTAL LEGEND SEQUEL. WE NEED MORE RTS GAMES.

[@Chivoindustry]

We need brutal legend 2

[@redhunter1535]

Psychonauts 3 pleeeease come on 😭😭😭

[@AGameWithChums]

Tim is an absolute treasure.

[@NaviRyan]

in my opinion metroid dread has the best gameplay, psychonauts 2 has the best platformer/story, halo infinite is the best shooter/multiplayer, and ratchet & clank has the best cinematics and visuals of 2021.

[@AlexisHernandez-sx3zd]

OMG !!!Yes, they should do sequel, prequel, Gristol story, and more about Grulovia, with a darker tone because they show us all the potential psychonauts franchise have.

[@stefanscicluna2799]

Game of the century for me

[@1295antonio]

Just give us Brutal Legend 2

[@SriLestari-tl5gi]

Hype for future of double fine

[@nicholase82]

Part of me hopes to see more Raz an Lily.

[@lokeleenP]

Playing.the game rite now..lovely game

[@fractallusion7121]

To say Psychonauts 2 exceeded my expectations doesn't even come close. Truly am amazing video game and one of the best 3D platformers I've ever played!

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

Agent Nein needs a spin-off game. Make it happen Schaefer.

[@tsukileo897]

Like a game delving into the Psychonauts lore? We get to play as Agent Nein in the past going on missions with Vodello

[@Krylovix]

One of the few games that has substance to it.

[@nadeemb3300]

Playing this game really made me think about Saturday morning cartoons, especially the theme song.

[@Otis151]

Still need to play Psychonaughts 2. I wonder if it’s in game pass. Loved the first one back in the day.

[@waiseshah7458]

It is!

[@ne90316]

Double fine is owned by xbox now. So, almost all of their games are on game pass now.

[@enternamehere6947]

Yeah it’s on gamepass along with all of their first party games day one

[@WeightxofxChaos]

TIM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my Hero

[@suriptokiman7077]

brutal legend 2

[@bixhutch6274]

Psychonaughts 2 is best platformer of all time

[@Dontcareidc]

We need a remake for the first game AND a 3rd game. Psychonauts is 2 unique of a game to let it go to waste.

[@donnyohakam]

This game and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart are some amazing platformers

[@xjaysonzx]

Just give us our physical edition of Psychonauts 2!

Brutal Legend 2?

[@garfieldrocks]

Psychonauts 3???

[@tislumberjack4020]

But imagine if double fine tried out of of the many classic platforming IPs that Microsoft owns now? Spyro, Crash, Banjo? I'm sure they could do at least one justice.

[@06dogb]

They don't own Spyro or Crash yet.

[@Azoedud]

Tim and his teams what they won't want

[@greatwesternsky]

Why would you want Double Fine to retread more mundane and already done IPs rather than give us new game worlds that we know are going to be rich, unique, surprising and imaginative? This sort of thinking is part of the reason why people don’t try their games and miss out what they have to offer.

[@tislumberjack4020]

@@greatwesternsky Same could be said about approaching a platformer genre in 2021 from an IP that hasn't had a release since 2005. I'd love to see a studio that took that genre on in this age re-imagine some old classics in their own fashion. Not everything new has to be this brand new grandiose idea, thought up out of thin air.

[@paulunga]

Who's Andrew Yoon?

Well, new ideas means no Brutal Legend 2.

This is such a bad interview. 20 minutes of telling Tim to work on everything you want him to, and not what he wants to do. An offensive interview that's just reaching for possible insider info. Smh

I'd love to see Brütal Legend 2! But this time they should make it a Hack and Slash! The RTS was lame and most likeley the reason for the disappointing sales. 🤘

[@BDozer666]

Hell no. That's taking the actual core of the game out. Might as well not make Brutal Legend 2 then.

[@BDreGaming]

Congratulations to a great third-place victory to him! Astros playroom and Sackboy are on a different level better, but this is a nice game as well.

[@dav2-094]

The NYVCC awards were the lamest, weirdest and dumbest awards i've ever seen. Most nominees didn't even make any sense, specially the game of the year nominees. That said, Psychonauts 2 deserved it.

[@oror3751]

Ryan is so bad interviewer
