Psychonauts Gets Publisher, Possible Release Date - Page 3

*Jake* · 08-03-2004, 04:22 PM

Well, I own an XBox and a decent PC and I game on them in about equal amounts: never, and never. So maybe my perspective is a little warped.

Well, it's not as if Xbox developers sit there entering code with a controller

The XDK allows you to develop and compile your code on a PC, then transfer it to the XDK for execution. Note that this does *NOT* mean that the compiled code runs on a PC as well.

'Psychonauts' (Xbox) Also Coming To PC

Already hinted at the past few days, but now it's official as Majesco announced today it has secured the worldwide publishing rights to Double Fine's Psychonauts. Already heralded as one of the most original titles in development, Psychonauts will be available next year for the Xbox and, previously un-announced, also the PC.

***Jackal*** · 08-04-2004, 06:14 AM

Holy crap! Too too sweet if that's true!!

Majesco is now one of my favourite publishers!

The Seed · 08-04-2004, 06:15 AM

What the hell, is that information totally official?

I guess this means that Double Fine action news is actually going to have some real news to report.

Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine, added: "I'm really excited to be working with Majesco because I can tell they understand what Psychonauts is all about, and that they believe in giving developers the creative freedom they need to fully realize their ideas. Together we are going to make what could conservatively be called the greatest game of all time ever, and I think that's awesome."

The irony of it all... replace Microsoft with Majesco... fast rewind....

Psychonauts for the PC!

Groooooovy

I wouldn't count on Double Fine's website having anything about this though.

It will probably have something about that girl being sacked for being cruel to kittens, and that the kitten is now under going therapy.

*eats a thousand hats

Anyway, I hope this works. I have visions in my head of shoddy PC ports, but hell, the more exposure for the game the better. (I'll still be picking up the Xbox version though

)
