First things first: Psychonauts is coming to PlayStation 2 Classics.
…Okay, that’s only one thing. But it’s super important.
Psychonauts was Double Fine‘s first game, and it came out for the PlayStation 2 way back in 2005. We love it a lot. It’s the story of a gifted young psychic cadet who must delve deep into dangerous minds and put a stop to a sinister conspiracy. And on August 28th, you will be able to download it to your PlayStation 3 as a PlayStation 2 Classic.
If you never played Psychonauts, you’re in for a treat! If you played it before, why not buy it again, just for old time’s sake? Ha ha! Tell a friend or two or a hundred.
“So, what took so long?” you may ask. Well, you’d be in fine company for asking. As internet user @smushums66 requested, “Psychonauts PSN title or PS2 classic PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Fellow netizen Lemming inquired only last month, “RELEASE PSYCHONAUTS ON PSN…DO YOU LIKE FREE MONEY???”
These are just a few of the seemingly infinite requests for Psychonauts PS3 we receive on a daily basis. And as it turns out, we do love free money! (Preferably in cash-stuffed envelopes slid under the office door.) But to truly become a PlayStation 2 Classic, we wanted to ensure Psychonauts had all the time it needed to grow into its status as a classic, like a fine artisanal Tuscan cheese. But less smelly.
Now, nearly seven years after its original release, that time has come. In five days, I mean. So get ready. Prepare yourself. Warm up your console. Recharge your controller. Do some thumb exercises (is that a thing??). Fortify your funnybone. Tune up your heartstrings. Clean off your credit card. Brace yourself for Psychonauts.
If I hadn’t already bought this game 3 times I’d get it again!
ugh i wish this had trophies… glad to see it up though
IMHO I would’ve preferred a HD remake but Psychonauts—in any form—is a welcome addition to the PS3 library just the same.
I’m REALLY not a fan of this game and frankly don’t understand why people think it’s so good…
but hey, i’m not going to get in the way of other people’s enjoyment. Glad to see more PS2 Classics.
Great news for anyone who hasn’t tried this yet. I actually picked it up (again) as an Xbox classic. It really does hold up well.
Give this away to ps plus users! Not enough people know about this epic game! also Id rather not have to buy it again :P
Meh.. I would have preferred to see Tony Hawk’s Underground 1 + 2 added to the library. Sucks that my PS3 can’t play them. I loved those games to death. That and the Splinter Cell series… and the 007 Series… and Battlefront….
Man the PS2 classics selection is pretty poor now that I think about it.
I’ll snag this for sure. But probably not Tuesday. Sorry!
I also got it as part of a Humble Indie Bundle, but I’d love to play it on my PS3 instead (My laptop isn’t the best gaming rig…). I’ll try and get it by the end of next week, though (R&C HD is coming Tuesday, so I’ll be all knee deep in that for a bit).
@ #4 Zezzler:
So says the person that has a Viewtful Joe avatar……..
Please do us a favor and:
1. Quit being a troll
2. Quit trying to express your opinions as facts
3. Stop being a hypocrite (Your avatar should give that away…..).
4. Comment on something you don’t like. Ever heard of the Golden Rule, hypocrite?
This game is one of the greatest games, regardless of genre, regardless of console, of its generation, if not of all time. The Metacritic score and all-time lists prove that. Please. You’re a lone wolf in a EXTREMELY large pack. Just……leave, scumbag, and go back to playing Viewtful Joe-Oh, wait! That’s not a PS2 Classic! I Forgot! My Bad!
The PS2 Classic selection has been a bit poor since they were first made available. Good to see there are more being added every month! I’m still waiting on Sonic Heroes for the US, though.
*Don’t comment on something you don’t like, sorry.
How much will it cost to give you guys free money?
@scxzor: That’s the beauty of it! It costs however much you want!
