Double Fine 'Doesn't Currently Have The Budget' To Add More Languages To Psychonauts 2

I haven’t finished it yet (about halfway through) but does anyone else already want a Psychonauts 3? I don’t think we will get one any time soon as Tim said they are moving on to new ideas…. But this game is truly awesome. I hope someday they make another (though I haven’t finished this yet so idk if it is a cliffhanger or not)

@xMightyMatt14x Same here, but really, anything Double Fine is at least Triple or Quadruple Fun. Having a look on metacritic Russians bomb the game due to translation? That's sad. Speaks volumes about metacritic (again)…

Surely Microsoft could help them out....

I appreciate that this would be a lot of work, but MS has the money. And I personally don't see psychonauts not doing well. There's definitely money for it

@xMightyMatt14x After playing Psychonauts 2 (which is excellent), I would love to see what they could do with Banjo-Kazooie or Conker.

(Insert outrage here)
No but really, I adore this game

I think text only translation would be cheap and effective way to calm those who think that accessibility equals quality

@flawse Sony fanboys are review bombing the game because it is published by Microsoft and using the lack of localization as a justification for their review bombing. This is abundantly clear if you click on the review history of people doing the bombing. They always have a justification to stand in for the real reason which is always fanboy and/or toxic *****.

@RBRTMNZ Take solace that these kind of people clearly have no life

This should not be happening. Common papa Xbox.

Does anyone else hope they remaster P1 to the same quality visuals as P2 before moving on to an P3?

@StylesT But they do have lives which they use to make life awful for everyone who doesn't think, talk, look, and act like them. In this case it's just harmless review bombing but it irks me because this same inability to think outside of their own experience and respect other people's interests and needs, leads to a lot of ***** regressive government policy.

Hopefully Xbox give them the budget for more language support and a physical release.
This is a serious GOTY contender right now, and it's bonkers to think it doesn't have a physical release on store shelves.

This is truly the best Microsoft first party release that doesn't have the name "Forza" in....frankly, years. It's amazing it has no localization budget or even physical copies. This thing curb stomps R&C: Rift at its own game....and that game is the reason I bought a launch PS5.

Truly an exemplary game, and I really do want more in the series. Kind of a shame Double Fine is moving onto other things.

Make it happen Microsoft..

@RBRTMNZ And xbox fans do the same to ps exclusives. What's your point? People have been doing this forever. Xbox fans review bombed littlebigplanet in 2008, ps fans review bombed gears of war 2. Who cares? It's just something dumb people do on both sides.

Double-Fine: "We don't have the budget for that right now."

Translation: "Can you please just let us be done with this ****ing game already?"

@JimBeam42 I'm super confused about why you got defensive. I did not say this was unique to PS fans. I said the localization issues are irrelevant because this is just fanboys hating and using localization as a justification for the low review. I also commented that I care because it portends to an inability or more likely unwillingness to respect other people's experiences which can be very harmful in other aspects of life.

I think that this is the kind of thing they should talk with Microsoft privately instead of writing on Twitter/forums because Microsoft might not be aware and Double Fine may be misunderstood.

@RBRTMNZ Same exact instance of russian localization review bombing happened with mass effect legendary edition. Were people upset with that? Probably not cause it's multi-platform. Whatever the reason, people do this stuff all the time. Heck, people do positive review bombs too for memes. Just look at the metacritic page for cory in the house on nintendo ds, or the calculator app for switch. It's just people on the internet being weird.

@JimBeam42 Mass effect was review bombed because it's an EA game. Most If not all EA games get review bombed. The localization thing was again just a justification for the absurd score.

For the Psychonauts 2 reviews click on the 0 reviews. It's easy to find people whose previous ratings are all 10 for Sony published games. Try a little harder and you'll find some that have 10s for Sony games and 0s for several Xbox games.

I want to play this game because it has a very good reputation. Both the previous and current titles have not been localized in Japan.

@RBRTMNZ yeah, a shame really. I've been thinking about getting a PS4 to see what the fuss is about … I have one at work, but sadly I've been swamped while there so I need to get one for home to indulge in its … superiority? Having trouble justifying it though, a Switch was easy (me, my girlfriend and out two kids enjoy the N-exclusives, Xbox covers me and my kids… but a PS4 would probably only be for me)… And I have an enormous backlog and GPU :/ I'll probably get a D-shock or sense and PSNow and boot up Windows or something, I could always hook the controller up to something else if PSNow sucks. It's easy to brand 'em, they're kids whose parents only bought them one console. As long as they're happy they can do whatever, Double Fine & Tim will continue to make great stuff and that's what matters Metacritic is what it is. P2 is GoTY for me, even if I hold Halo dear to my heart and I really enjoyed the tech preview of H:I (before H:CE I had no interest in consoles, only PC games, and now I have oh so many games and Xboxes).

@flawse I got my first PS recently to see what all the fuss is about. Sony published games are as good as advertised. If you can afford the three console life I do recommend it. That being said it is my least essential console. I prefer the Series X for game pass and quick resume and Switch because it has my favorite exclusives.

I would hope given the critical success that MS would allocate them funds asap to make it as accessible to everyone as possible.

@RBRTMNZ that's my expectation! But I'm just a wee bit tired to hear how I'm such a fanboy etc, especially when it's uttered by a much more obvious fanboy If a game's value exceeds the value I'd get from a trip to the cinema by a factor of three I'm interested, so it's looking a bit slim, but still… I'll probably get a fresh DS4 and sign up for PSNow, to begin with, and later on perhaps find a broken console and fix it up… what's the deal with all the units having a broken HDMI-port? Seems so common, is it a vector to split the signal for streaming or something? To avoid security layers?
