Costume Quest is the first of four games coming from Tim Schafer's Double Fine studio within the next year. Schafer broke his studio up into four small teams and asked them each to create a downloadable game. The end result is hopefully smaller, quicker, and more focused. How does this apply to Costume Quest? Let's find out.
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.
I love the look of the battles.
I hadn't heard a thing about this game, but it sounds pretty intriguing. I'll have to put it on the ol' radar.
Seems a little kiddie, but I'm sure the Double Fine humor will make up for that.
The last two years show that smaller, focused games (Shadow Complex, for example) remain a viable option for development. I like the Halloween-themed concept!
