Are you guys serious? I’ve been wanting to download this, since I haven’t had any luck getting a physical copy at a decent price. So, are these glitches still prominent? I mean, I’ve seen how glitchy and down-graded the PS2 version is from the other versions, but freezing and de-sync? That sounds really unfortunate. Makes me wonder if anyone at Sony actually tests these…

I heard Spyro 2 had similar issues and had to be re-released.

Interestingly, the reply I got from Double Fine about my bugged experience with the PS2 version was very down to earth. They support guy basically told me that they don’t get any $$$ from Sony on the deal… nor do they have any input on the PS2 Classic release, developement of it, etc.. So in my case I can only blame the PS2 emulator or something on my PS3. I just appreciate that Sony showed good faith and gave me a refund.

You see, when I was watching the opening rendered cutscene, the FMV was going faster than the audio; like, the audio was not lagging at all, it’s just the cutscene was being rendered too fast… I don’t know for certain if this has happened to anyone else, but if it has, I just wanted to report it. Also, nothing else in the game seems to have the same problem; just the rendered cutscenes like the one in the beginning.

But, then again… I was downloading the game while there was a storm going on all night in my location. That might have factored into this. Though the power didn’t go out, the internet did for a short period of time and I did not notice it… XD

I just wanted to know if this is just my own mistake of downloading it in a thunderstorm, or if anyone else is having the same problem…? If it was my own mistake because of the thunderstorm, do I need to download it again? >.> <.< I hope I didn't come off as a jerk… *Looks to the side there* D:

Thanks if anyone can answer my question! :)

I’ve already went ahead and bought it. I have one already for the PS2, Xbox and Steam… So this is my fourth copy? XD

Very nice to see this as a PS2 Classic, can’t wait to start playing it as soon as it finishes downloading! 8D

The game install must have been poor, because I didn’t even the game data for Psychonauts in the game data utility. The remainder of the troubleshooting did not fix my problem, either. Hopefully I get a quick refund, and I will have to move from the disappointment I guess.

It’s a shame that I encountered this problem. The biggest reason I play on consoles such as PS3 is that I typically do not have to hassle with problems like these (or those often encountered on a PC). I wonder how many others are having serious buggy issues… Perhaps DoubleFine released this port too early?

You’re not alone. I’ve had one instance of it just hanging on the black screen like you described. I powered down the system (no hard freeze), and afterwards the game loaded a bit slowly but normally. For some reason it turns off my controller everytime I turn the game on or off though, and I’ve had a few glitches in the game (audio and video going off sync, broken/pixelated bars across the top of the screen during two cutscenes, and my telekinesis once stopped working during the tutorial for it necessitating a reload). As a result I save early and often… well, I usually do that anyhow, but moreso here. I’ve been debating myself whether or not to redownload or if there are some glitches involved that’ll need an update to fix.

I’m up to the Milkman Conspiracy section, and I’m still very happy that I purchased the download. Since it’s my first PS2 Classic on the system, I’m just having a bit of trouble trying to figure out how many glitches are from a problem in the emulation and what might be a corrupt download. I hope you get yours working HeavyDriver! Best of luck!

SOOOO DISAPPOINTED!

YES. + > 9,000 internets for you!
