Psychonauts 3?

[Ouyea]

Well, obviously is too early for talking about this. Also, Tim Schafer told they are going to do "something different" in their new project, so clearly they are not planning a new Psychonauts sequel. But finishing the game and sooooo happy about the final result, I frequently ask myself about a new Psychonauts game. U know guys, this kind of games are not the most profitables and, even down the Microsoft's safety umbrella, I really doubt if we will see another Psychonaut game. A pity, if u ask me.

What do u think about it dudes?

With the ratings it's getting, it's almost a lock we'll see a Psychonauts 3 quicker than we had to wait between the first and second games.

Hopefully, they'll remaster psychonauts 1. They could reuse a lot of the assets/mechanics from 2, so that might make it more profitable/faster in the end.

Sales will probably be more relevant than good reviews and I feel like this game isn't getting a whole lot of traction despite coming out a week ago.

I'll echo Agent Orange and say that a remaster for the first game would be good to see especially if they could polish up some of the rough edges. Alternatively maybe a bit of DLC for this game would be nice to see, there's lots of characters that seem like they would be interesting to explore more but don't have a huge amount of screen time.

I get the feeling if they take at least one of the routes they could go in with the stuff that happens in post game, they could not only make at least part of 3, but use a lot of those assets to remaster/remake 1. IIRC, they already remade the very starting area from Psychonauts (the cabins area) just to have a place they could test stuff in while they were working on the level designs for 2. May as well just continue on from there and go back to camp for a bit.

They have MS money now, PN2 is a solid entry, PN3 is almost a given.

If there's going to be a Psychonauts 3, what could it be about?

welll... Dr Loboto DID escape again... and I don't trust Oleander is fully cured of his meglamaniacal personality trait.

[it's love]

it'll be a very long wait

Well, Sasha and Milla are going back to camp because there's a new batch of kids due in. Loboto escaped and is heading back to camp where he apparently left HIS kid (there's no real clues on who it is). Bob and brain-ball Helmut are off to Lake Grulovia to get Helmut's body back. Raz's family is going to stick around. And Agent Forsythe may need rescuing on her vacation. Any or all of those could be wound into Psychonauts 3.

Many believe the kid Loboto is Bobby Zilch, which may be true. And if so, it'd be way funny to learn the dance Bobby performed originated from Loboto himself. The only thing I disagree with is Bobby is his son. Loboto is OLD! Around 80 or so years old. If anything, Loboto could be Bobby's grandfather. Or, whether or not Bobby is involved, Loboto could just be the legal guardian or something else entirely. IDK. I'm just speculating. Nothing more or less, y'know?

Why do you think Loboto is that old? He could be anything from 30 and up.
Personally I believe that the line about him having a kid was a lie/excuse to run away.

He really didn't need an excuse. He was halfway gone through the hatch already and there was no one around that could stop him. And it's a really weird lie that would take him back to an area he'd already be suspected to returning to anyway.

I just finished this game - and it was amazing, definitely sequel potential there for sure.

What I would absolutely love to see in the next one is some choice and consequence added to the game, I'd like to see mental connections expanded upon for this but also just dialog choice and consequence as well. Your various choices could have a negative or positive impact on your own brain - and maybe as another character (Lili perhaps) you have to go into Raz's brain to work through the consequences of the choices you made.

It would be cool if they moved the plot ahead 5 or 6 years, and had Raz dealing with some even more trippy issues. They touch a little on death - but I think 5 or 6 years in the future, some of the original Psychonauts might be on their death beds and I think those feelings would make for an interesting narrative arch within this universe.

They could even have a brain that is loosely based on the aesthetics of Grim Fandango...

I would absolutely love to see them give us more Psychonauts in whatever form they pick. A remaster of the original would be an excellent idea I think (even though it does go on sale on steam for like $0.99 every few months). If they aren't sure on making a third entry, DLC for 2 would be very welcomed so long as it has the same polish as the game.

They do be having that Microsoft money now... what are the odds of us seeing Netflix pick the franchise up, you think?
