1UP: "The Cave is not a funny game. At least, it isn't funny unless you consider murder, gross criminal negligence, arson, sabotage, patricide, genocide, nuclear war, and altering the very fabric of space-time for personal gain to be trifling affairs. Ron Gilbert's latest laugh-a-minute adventure game may seem like a bit of light humor on the surface, but it's those crimes against humanity that color the plot at every turn."
It looks like a third entry isn't happening soon.
Psychonauts 2 has been the studios most profitable release, despite being on Gamepass, and a third title is already open and on the table when the time comes.
They wanted to do a big, new IP release coming into the acquisition being they would have funding they wouldn't have otherwise. That was obviously greenlit.
He was always gonna make a new ip once MS bought them.
The correct dicision imo, comebk to P3 at a later date.
Just how do studios cope with the pressure to "produce a worthy sequel"?
I'm about 9 episodes into this and it's great. They've been recording it for long, long time, pre Kickstarter and Rhombus.
Double Fine announced that volume 2 of the Psychonauts 2 Original Soundtrack is available now to stream and purchase. The second volume lists at 17 songs and features Helmut’s song “Cosmic 1” sung by Jack Black.
But it is funny, in the same way shallow grave is funny.
