It would also explain why the company is willing to end its publishing agreement with DoubleFine despite claiming that it still "believes in the vision of the title" in an official statement. Double Fine games are always famous for their soundtracks, and now you can own the Psychonauts 2 OST by Peter McConnell on vinyl. For you vinyl collectors out there, iam8bit also has two vinyl sets of Psychonauts 2 up for pre-order. That would certainly explain some of its recent actions, like severing publishing ties with Oddworld Inhabitants on Stranger, and holding back a number of key XSN Sports titles in order to better compete with rival titles from EA Sports and Sega/ESPN. The Art of Psychonauts 2 is available to pre-order now for 49.99. Then again, after several of its other more abstract titles - Grabbed by the Ghoulies and Voodoo Vince to name a couple - failed to do the business at retail, it's possible that the publisher has simply decided to take a more risk-averse approach to its first-party line-up. In fact we're a little surprised to see Microsoft let him go so easily. Nevertheless it's good to hear that publishers are interested in Psychonauts, because every time we've seen or heard Tim Schafer discuss the game he's always made a whole lot of sense. Although the game is no longer expected to hit its late 2004 release target, it is far enough along to suggest that DoubleFine may stick to Xbox only rather than bringing the game to other platforms. DoubleFine Productions' ambitious platform title Psychonauts will no longer be published by Microsoft Game Studios, the Xbox platform holder has confirmed to the press this week.ĭoubleFine, which was founded by LucasArts adventure genius Tim Schafer, is currently shopping around for a new publisher, with several firms reportedly interested.
