toblix Posted October 3, 2004 Wow, that page is great! Not only does it offer easily understandable navigational options like "gray matter" and "memory vault", but it apparently requires me do register in order to download their promotional stuff. This is what the gold earring is made of! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted October 3, 2004 Though you probably should sign up just so they know people are interested in the game, you should probably also just direct download the trailer here http://psychonauts.com/video/PSYCHONAUTSTRAILERlrg.mpg so they know that the way they set up the site is highly dubious and should get fixed eventually.

toblix Posted October 3, 2004 Thanks for that Direc2 Ware7 Downl8d Pir8 li9k, Jake. And although I'd happily sign up for a Psyconauts newsletter and whatever, I'm not just giving my email address away to everyone who asks for it. I'm guessing that, since they're not explicitly stating they'll only use the address for the newsletter, they'll also use it for whatever else suits them too, as well.

Bc9b Posted October 3, 2004 I didn't say it was bad, just unexpected. Also weird, with the product page on Double Fine's site that doesn't talk about the publisher, the page on Majesto's site that has yet to link to Psychonauts.com, and the one we are discussing here, there are now three official Psychonauts pages that exist without the knowledge of their brethren.

JBRAA Posted October 3, 2004 About the trailer... I dont like it with sound. I just find it distracting and really trying to get the attention from the viewer to two places at once. I actually dont think it is any good. I viewed it now without sound, and I emediately liked it. I get a totally different feel of what's happening, and the art blend beatifully. The sound/narrator was totally not blended or mixed properly. It was shite. Btw, the evil doctor who steal brains. His voice is similar to Dr Fred's in Day of the Tentacle.

Ryam BaCo Posted October 3, 2004 oh. no. i watched the trailer (the big one ). and all i want to do is playing psychonauts. now. soooo has anybody invented a time machine yet??? i want to live in the year 2005. now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted October 3, 2004 About the trailer... I dont like it with sound. I think Majesco has done a terrible job with adding in the narrator and getting the trailer ready, so I mostly agree with you. The voices of the actual characters and the sound design are superb though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBRAA Posted October 3, 2004 I think Majesco has done a terrible job with adding in the narrator and getting the trailer ready, so I mostly agree with you. The voices of the actual characters and the sound design are superb though. That's why I made/edited this: Psychonauts - Trailer 2 - Gameplay edit (no sound) (640x480).avi http://mojoart.mixnmojo.com/original-art/psychonauts/videos/Psychonauts%20-%20Trailer%202%20-%20Gameplay%20edit%20(no%20sound)%20(640x480).avi (5.3 MB, 00:55) I clipped out all the non-gameplay scenes except for beginning and end. And I removed the sound. The video is in DivX avi format. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormsie Posted October 4, 2004 You have to fill out the form to see them. What fooking form? I can't find any fooking form. But I think I will in the next few minutes, so don't bother replying. EDIT: No, I still can't find it. Also, all the links people have posted to new screenshots and such have mysteriously stopped working. This was just your way of making fun of me I'm sure.

Wormsie Posted October 4, 2004 Well awesome. Looks like I got here too late, and they took it down, or maybe there's server problems. I dunno. But thanks to mojoart for preserving the gameplay bit at least. Look at the baby fly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappa Posted October 4, 2004 This psychonauts site is a fucking mystery. Some times I get into the real thing, with the screenshots and the downloadable trailers and stuff, and sometimes I just get into Majescos own little site that features a couple of screenshots and tiny bits of info. Two completely different sites, one that is totally awesome and one that is stupid and lame, through the same address. Incredibly annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pappa Posted October 4, 2004 My what? I have no idea what you just said. But if you'll tell me how to fix what's broken, it would make me somewhat happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted October 4, 2004 Aha! Now I know why I couldn't see anything special on the 'new' website since I was still getting the old website, I guess it has to do with my dns server still pointing to the old one... [edit] note to self: read entire thread before replying and what a dns server does: Your ISP's dns tells you what server should respond to which url. so when you enter psychonauts.com you end up on the proper server. but since some dns servers haven't refreshed their list yet they still point to the old server that was resposible for psychonauts.com more info here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem isn't on your end, it's on your ISP's end. You'll just have to wait until they refresh it, but it shouldn't take any longer than a couple days.

Simon Posted October 4, 2004 About the trailer... I dont like it with sound. I just find it distracting and really trying to get the attention from the viewer to two places at once. I actually dont think it is any good. I viewed it now without sound, and I emediately liked it. I get a totally different feel of what's happening, and the art blend beatifully. The sound/narrator was totally not blended or mixed properly. It was shite. Btw, the evil doctor who steal brains. His voice is similar to Dr Fred's in Day of the Tentacle. Well spotted. Dr Loboto is played by the same actor who did Dr Fred, Red and Zed in Day Of The Tentacle - Nick Jameson. He was also Max in Sam & Max: Hit The Road, and Darrel and Mavis in Full Throttle. I only know all of this because Tim put it up on Double Fine Action News in June last year. My reaction to the trailer: wow. For a while I've been interested in Psychonauts and loved the art and screenshots that have trickled out of Double Fine, but I'm now seeing the look and gameplay come together with stuff like dialogue, voices, fluid animation, new bits of the interface etc. It's looking excellent, I really haven't been this excited about a game in a while.

Farbror Posted October 4, 2004 What worries me most is the same thing that has worried me most about Psychonauts all the time: The gameplay. I mean, the trailer mostly shows dialogoue and cutscenes or something like that, very little is actually gameplay. And although I do trust Tim's genius, I still can't help feeling a little scared about the lack of information. Everywhere, all the previews, everything always mentions that you "Enter people's minds and battle their nightmares". Yeah, that's great, but HOW? Do you solve classical adventure-inventory-puzzles? Do you battle, Zelda-style? Is it stealth-action? Is it a true Mario-platformer? Maybe similar to BG&E? Is it something completely new? We all know that the story and the setting and characters and all those stuff are good, but what about the rest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted October 4, 2004 Do you solve classical adventure-inventory-puzzles? Do you battle, Zelda-style? Is it stealth-action? Is it a true Mario-platformer? Maybe similar to BG&E? Is it something completely new? Yes you do, yes you do, probably a little, sometimes, yeah a bit, and yes. How well it all works in the end, however, is still to be seen.
