OMFG STOP GETTING OFF TOPIC.

Isn't it funny that the only off topic thread died the quickest?

Seriously, replying with 'oh, you see this movie?', or 'hey, lets talk about my newest crush and all those girl-things' and 'i'm so depressed' gets annoying.

Alas! You're right. Bad habit we should all break.

So, any more news on this? I'd say it's just the direction developers take when releasing their stuff. Demand in the U.S. is pretty huge.

Maybe they put the names on it... to take up space?

Well, we're not sure. Maybe because purple and yellow is eye-catching?

Purple and green don't always look too good together, anyways. I like the just-green background of our native Psychonauts.

What was the topic again? Oh yeah...

I know what you mean about the colours. I prefer the green scheme. Just looks nicer. Any idea where I can get a decent picture of the US box cover? I got one from somewhere (an old Mojo post probably) which I had as a wallpaper before my computer died, and now I can't think where I got it.

I personally got my copy as soon as it came out in the US, imported from GameStop with the lovely T-Shirt which I'm wearing now.
However, not everyone has a decent enough PC, or enjoys importing games from a long way away (delivery costs, returning hassle if something's wrong, etc.), or just might want it on the Xbox or PS2. I made sure to get it confirmed when the game came out - The US Xbox Psychonauts will not work on a UK (or any other country's) Xbox. Someone personally tested it for me. Or they just might want a DVD PC copy.

What is the deal with the US's fear of the PC DVD-ROM drive? We in the UK have had DVD games on the PC for ages and they're now the norm, why does the US not like them? Technophobes.

For the most part all PC games are released universally, except when there's a concurrent console release, like KOTOR2 for example. Psychonauts was hampered over here because Majesco is a US-only publisher. If Microsoft had kept it we wouldn't be playing it on PS2 or PC, but it would've been a worldwide release.

And as for the "what games have the UK made?" question... off the top of my head -

Fable, the Broken Sword series, Beneath A Steel Sky, the Tomb Raider series ('cept for the upcoming one because they did such a thoroughly crap job on the last one), Black & White 1-2, Championship Manager/Football Manager, the Grand Theft Auto series, Alien Vs Predator (made just up the road from me!), Ghost Master, Judge Dredd: Dredd Vs Death (those two too!), Lemmings, Cannon Fodder 1-2, the Worms series, The Movies, Theme Park/Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper 1-2, the Populous games, Starship Titanic, Lure of the Temptress, Sensible Soccer, Evil Genius, Republic: The Revolution.

Plenty of others, but that's all I can be certain of right now.

Yeesh, do you guys do this in every thread? Please, for your own sakes, spend some time AFK. You'll have to find a new hobby anyway, when RSI cripples your hands, and you're left unable to even hold a pencil, let alone move the mouse over to that 'Post Quick Reply' button and click down on it.



I'm one of the people waiting, ever so patiently, for the UK release of PS2 Psychonauts, so I can actually get to play the game.

I (naively) went into my local games shop on the 25th and asked if they had any copies of Psychonauts.
The guy had a look through some stuff behind the counter. For a moment I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the sleeves that would go into the XBOX Psychonauts cases. Eventually though, he informed me that he didn't have anything.

Since they had the sleeves already, it looks like the publishers really did expect a release around then. I wonder what went wrong?

Maybe they just assumed that the demand wasn't great enough to warrant a good paced release, or something. It's hard to tell with game companies.

It happened after Joel gathered the protection money, with bombs. Naturally, a Psychonauts disc and case have less force and resistance than a bomb.
