It was nice to see Brad hanging out with the Double Fine gang again!

Just finished playing this! - Congratulations on making something really special for VR. This was really well done and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was so cool jumping to so many different perspectives and really playing with that rather than just using it to move around the environments. My favourite part was the doll's house probably because it was so unique. I'd recommend this above any other PSVR game so far!!

Just finished playing on psvr, this game is by far my favorite psvr game. I'm so ready for psychonauts 2.

I loved Psychonauts. Now my 3 year old son *loves* Psychonauts. I'm getting Psychonauts 2 for PC. So I NEEED Rhombus for my VIVE.

I'd love to see some of the concept art you guys did during development.

crazy that Tim didn't want to make a game of this mission to begin with because I think Lobotos story adds SO much weight to the worldbuilding, I thought it was so impactful and a fantastic lead up to psychonauts 2

Looks like they originally planned for Dogen to go with Raz and the others, and that his main ability would be confusion.

As a person who is deaf in one ear and has a ruined vestibular system (all from Meniere's disease) I really hate the trend towards VR. VR to me is simply something I can never, ever take part in.

Hey, how can my hands on one of those psychonaut jackets?

[hazardoushumanoid]

why would anyone want to leave double fine? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM US TIM SCHAFER!?!?!

[CrashFu]

Been working on this since the Rift development-kit days, huh? I hope the PSVR exclusivity deal is a limited-time contract, 'cause I'd love to buy this on Oculus Home some day (I've been trying to convince my PS4-owning friends to get PSVR and let me play RoR on their consoles, but sadly no luck. :-p )

As someone who never played the original, this game was fun (if overpriced). It didn't make me want to pick up the sequel, but I'll be balls deep into whatever your next VR project is.

Man, how long ago was this in development that Brad Muir is still there?

[armagarepwnsyou]
