A whiff of something new happening in the world of Tim Schafer's cult-classic Psychonauts is in the air.
Schafer's studio, Double Fine, has sparked speculation by publishing an image in the Projects section of its website. Spotted by eagle-eyed web surfers, it's a semi-blacked out Psychonauts picture with the words "Coming Soon" stamped on top of it.
Is it a sequel? Is the image just a cheeky place-holder? Well, it's widely thought that it may well turn out to be a Wii version of the game. Office fans of Psychonauts have declared that the platform-adventure would work "really well" on Nintendo's console.
We can but wait and see.
Weird and wonderful - as those who have played it will tell you - Psychonauts chucks players into the role of Raz, who has the ability to transport himself into the minds of others.
Hmm. While I would prefer a sequel, a Wii version would be excellent - IF they get it marketed properly. With the Wii's install base it could finally sell the kinds of amounts it deserved to in the first place.
It looks like a sequel - 2 of the characters in the blacked out image are not from the original game at all.
Huh? Which characters do you mean? From left to right, I can only see Sasha, Milla, Raz, Coach Oleander and very faintly a Secret Agent from the Milkman Conspiracy.
C'mon guys, they're obviously just building their own project website for Psychonauts. They just wanted to put out Brütal Legend's first.
