So, Double Fine have just completely given up on funding games themselves?

They just don't have the money to make the games they want to make.

As a company who have a lot of properties that play on nostalgia; I don't see a problem leveraging that.

When f*cking Sony is crowdfunding, then I don't see why people hammer DF for doing it.

FUCK YES! Crowdfunded or whatever the fuck, I'm so fucking happy about this. I've replayed Psychonauts about a dozen goddamned times and I still love it! Fuck yes!!

Backed but I don't know how they will reach that goal, they have burnt a fuck load of bridges to get to where they are right now.

They have made the same mistake as Indivisible, not using kickstarter. 3 million on a virtually unknown platform? Good luck.

At least this time they had the foresight of making the documentary available to everyone.

They have literally never funded games themselves. Psychonauts was funded by Microsoft and Majesco. Brutal Legend by EA. Costume Quest and Stacking by THQ, Once Upon a Monster by WB, Iron Brigade; DFHAT; and Kinect Party by MS; The Cave by Sega; Autonomous by Sony; Broken Age and Massive Chalice by KS backers; Spacebase DF-9 and Hack 'n' Slash by Indie Fund, Middle Manager of Justice by Dracogen; Headlander by Adult Swim Games; and Grim Fandango Remastered partially by Sony and presumably partially by Disney/LucasArts. :p

(this unknown platform accepts investor money--they could accept 3.3 million from venture capital or publishers tonight if they wanted to)

Is there a rule on fig for extensions or time limits? Set to only 30ish days or can be any amount of time or certain extensions if you reach a minimum funding?

Thank you for this post.

Tons of silliness here.
 
I've never played part 1.

Is it worth it?

Can I play it on PS4/XBONE?

Failing that,

PS3/360?
You can get it for cheap on steam. Even a toaster will run it at maximum settings and 60 FPS. Yep, it's definitely worth it, it's a great and VERY unique experience. The hype in this thread should be proof enough ;P.

"3D action platformers with colorful stylized graphics and humor"

AAAGGGHGHG YES

THIS, SPECIFICALLY, IS WHY I BOUGHT A FUCKING PS4

IN CASE SOMETHING CRAZY LIKE THIS SHIT HAPPENED

If Okami 2 happens my head will explode, what's left of it.
 
Not expecting this at all WOHOOOOOO Nice surprise!

Expecting a couple millions on the first hours for the bang factor, just like Shenmue.
