YOU CAN'T STOP TIM THE CROWDFUNDING MACHINE.
Who cares, dude? Why are people so angry about this? As long as you're not the one to pay up it doesn't mean anything.
I'm glad it's getting funded by other people's money. If it's good, great. If it's bad, we didn't pay for shit and get to mock those who did.
>game gets funded
>Tim royally fucks it up as usual

why stop it

Just like last time :^)
why contain it? not giving my money so it'll at least be interesting to watch

He wasn't making Psychonauts 2 last time.
Look its a false flag
>>319673341
Doesn't Tim keep slyly extending the timer? This game will get as much money as he sees fit, the money-grubbing hack.
>>319673341
It's not my money and I still get to play it if it's good, not seeing the problem
>>319674523
Yeah, he does. The cunt is getting funded on his own backing platform. He can just lie about numbers and extend deadlines for all the free advertising he likes.
>>319673341
>New "female" character
>The army sergeant isn't there
It's shit
>>319673341
It's me or Tim Schafer seems show he don't have money for making his games ?
>>319673341
>people are unironically defending crowdfunding
>3.3
just fuck my industry up senpai
>>319673590
I never looked at it this way, but you're right.
I'm just surprised people keep giving Tim more money.
crowdfunding is a great way for your limousine liberal buddies to get some tax writeoffs or launder some cash
>>319673698
>nobody trusts him for another 2 weeks*
ftfy
Do they even hide the fact anymore that the funders are mostly Tim's friends, who have considerable cash?
Bloodstained had 65k contributors for 5 mil,
Shenmue had 70k contributors for 6.3 mil, Psychonauts has 14k for 2.4
The only people giving to that are neogafers giving whatever they can of mommy and daddy's money and Tim libtard San Fran well to do buddies. It's basically an art project

Well after this what else can he use to bank on nostalgia? That's really the main thing. Broken Age was made to bank on the nostalgia of Lucasarts' old adventure games, Psychonauts 2 is made to bank on the nostalgia of the first game. Nobody even cares about the other games they make.
>>319676273
I pay attention to the end date.
It was January 2nd, then 7th, now 12th.
>>319676304
he'll find something new.
people will buy into it.
he will royally fuck up the budget again.
people will hate him for it.
and then he'll find something new.
>>319675727
Yes ! MORE MONEY !!!
>>319673341
How dumb are the nostalgia fags?
Tim keeps delaying and fucking up projects.
I'm just here for the laughs. This is going to be fun to watch.
Win Win for us anyways. If it flops we get to see another funny meltdown from the nostalgia idiots. If it's good we get to play it, after steam sales of course.
>>319676273
Fig's server is hosted in a dimension where time moves very slowly.
>>319676554
Take note of 3 things:
1. last game was shit
2. they haven't finished sending out the rewards from the last crowd funding and even mention it at the bottom of the page.
3. they keep moving the deadline back.
has crowdfunding ever produced a decent game? it seems every game that starts this way is either released unfinished or the devs just give up completely.
>>319676742
Undertale
>>319676742
You're a troll but if you ever tell me Volgarr the Viking is unfinished, you oughtright can go fuck yourself.
>>319676879
He said decent, not "produces such a divide between shitposters and autists that you see it 10+ threads a day of back and forth shitting, almost exclusively falseflags started by Underfags."
Why would anyone trust Double Fine with anything? Especially after Hack n' Slash and Spacebase DF-9. They haven't even come out with a real game since Brutal Legend. Costume Quest was an hour long and Stacking barely any longer. Not to mention Broken Age having a terrible second half.
>>319676632
>>319676273
Guess who works for Fig
Why do you think this was done on Fig, instead of Kickstarter? Because Shafter can do whatever he wants
>>319677234
>Broken Age having a terrible second half.
Why do you think they put Broken in the fucking title?
>>319677234
Hack n' Slash was alright.
Spacebase is a disgrace, though.
Broken Age was just cancerous.
Just do what I'm doing. Wait it out and then see how Psychonauts 2 turns out.
If it's good pirate it, Tim won't care, he already got 3.3 million from a mountain of retards.
If it's bad, pirate it. Tim won't care, he already got 3.3 million from a mountain of retards.
>>319677234
I think Tim Schafer need something : MONEY ! MONEY !! MONEY !!!
>>319677234
Because muh Grim Fandango and muh Psychonauts. There's no reason to expect this won't be the underwhelming of the decade.
>>319677234
What I don't get is how he got away with abandoning Spacebase. When a developer abandons an early access game, people who bought it want their heads because they feel robbed. Why is Schafer still some vidya messiah?
>>319673341
Okay, so I'm going to be totally serious about my position on this "should I trust Tim Schafer?" issue. I know nobody asked for it, but I feel like I kind of have to say it.
I backed Double Fine Adventure and ultimately didn't enjoy it (it's not a bad game exactly, it just didn't fit the remit of a classic adventure game), I didn't back Massive Chalice, and I think the Space Base issues were handled very badly.
I'm still going to give money to Psychonauts 2. I've never played the first one, and I probably never will.
This year I had a beloved series of mine come back on Kickstarter to triple record-breaking success, and I saw a lot of people who had never played the series pledge because they wanted to see the fans of Shenmue get what they want.
That's why I'm throwing in for Psychonauts 2 despite no connection for the series, or much love for Double Fine. I know there are lofty expectations, but in good faith at least based on the desire to do right by fans, I think if the game is funded it will turn out fine. Effectively, I want to thank any Psychonauts fans who helped make Shenmue III happen, by making Psychonauts 2 a thing.
I'm going to pledge not for Tim Schafer, but for the fans. I think they are the ones who will ultimately lose out if this doesn't happen. Tim and Double Fine will move on to another project, and that'll be that. The fans will get left in the dust thinking about what could have been, and that sucks.
So that's why I'm throwing in for Psychonauts 2.
>>319677664
He's not and he didn't get away with it. There was an uproar for about 2 days and then people stopped caring, cause that was that and they really couldn't milk it any farther until Broken Age.
>>319677750
>I love sucking Tim Shafer's cock
>>319677382
I figured he would wait a little bit longer before putting his own game up there.
>>319678074
That's kinda gross dude. He's old enough to be your father.
>>319677750
Except part 2 of Broken Age was exactly that: a bad game.
Throwing money at anything Tim Schafer is involved in is a terrible idea.
>>319677382
>Launching some of the biggest franchises of all time
>Including Bard's Tale, Wasteland
is he being serious or what
>>319673341
I have hope this will be as good as Psychonauts 1. Am I retarded /v/?
>>319678316
Only if you donate(d)
Cause then, you'd be adding to the cancer. You should ensure Tim gets no more than exactly what he "claims" he needs by making sure nobody else you know supports him.
Tim is pure cancer and needs to be either euthanized or thrown in prison for the next 80 years.
>>319676742
FTL
>>319673341
Hold the fucking phone
I haven't spent any attention on this.
Are you telling me he's actually and unironically asking for 3.3 million?
Holy shit this guy
>kotaku article about how "by the time you read this psychonauts 2 will have reached $2.5 million!"
>that article is now like 2 days old and it's still not true
>>319678316
You're not retarded. Just naive. I too would like nothing more than for this to be as good as Psychonauts but unfortunately im a realist and realize that Tim will likely fuck it up.
>>319677382
>New era of Crowd funding
>Actually caused most people to have huge doubts about it
Fig is just one big lie
did psychonauts age well? its sitting on my steam list for ages but i never got around playing it
>>319676410
>Clear he is not only go to get the money but more than he asked
>He still pushes the date back
Should be crown King of Israel.

>>319674279
And he won't have been making Grim Fandango 2 next time but people will still give him money not to finish it in time.
I love the first one but c'mon.
Being famous really helps a lot.
>>319679308
It did quite well, yeah. Try it nigga.
>>319679308
it's one of those games that brings you back to your childhood. That's the best way I can describe it.
>>319676093
This is a bad thing?
>>319679336
he's just gonna push it farther back as long as anyone is still contributing money
>>319679016
That's a Kotaku Australia article. They have raised more than 2.5 million in Australian dollars.

>>319679430
>100 for phisical copy
WHAT THE FUCK
>>319679538
Yes, it implies this your typical money laundering art project(which means more tim fuck ups), and that is lack of interest for the sequel.
>>319677750
>I'm going to give money to the most amateur, immature, and unprofessional man in the gaming industry, whom has shown time and time again that he can't manage a budget or a time table, or even finish his games and send out rewards, because I want people to get a game they could live without. I want to make sure greedy shitheads like this stay in business holding beloved IPs hostage with exploitative crowdfunding scams
This is you, retard.
You see, a smart person that wanted to see psychonauts 2 happen, would let double fine go bankrupt and go out of business, because they would then sell the IP to an actually competent company that isn't run by tim the ultimate greedy kike schaefer
But you're not a smart person. You're a moron.
>>319676549
I never got these kind of photos. Is it ironic that he's doing stupid things with a large amount of money? Like a hahahaha money doesn't really matter to me so let's see how many times I can one up the lighting a cigar with a hundred dollar bill cliche.
Makes him seem like an immature fuck up and it's no wonder he doesn't give a fuck he basically stole 3.3 million dollars when he creates like 10 of these photos.
Like imagine working at this guy's studio and one of your shifts he's running around with thousands of dollars in bills trying to take funny "so rich I don't give a shit" photos with it.
You'd lose faith in him as a creator and businessman and the fucking idiots who gave him those hundred dollar bills.
These people aren't artists, they're fuckfaces with wheelbarrows of money. Which is the image he's ironically trying to capitalize with these shots.
so hyped for this. happy to give Tim my money.
>>319673341
you know its actually quite reasonable to give you Psychonauts 1 & 2 digitally for $40.
THe original is great on its own and in 3 years you get sent a code for the sequel. Like the minimum pledge for Bloodstained was $60 which I found very steep to ask based on concept art and a neat video, but $40? that's not such a huge investment, most people (psychonaut fans especially) would be happy just to buy the original again and in the process fund the development of a sequel.
good games take time to make, and with the original folks on board i am all for it.
>>319674165
The Tim Schafer Cycle is as important to the environment as the Nitrogen Cycle.
>>319680719
>implying they wouldnt let the IPs die with them
>>319677382
You know I honestly don't get why Brutal Legend has a cult following. It's a really mediocre game and has that signature Schafer problem where he got too ambitious and started throwing in too many things and it became a clusterfuck
how many genres does brutal legend count as?
>>319679425
Good thing he doesn't own the rights to Grim Fandango anymore
How much more do you think he'll ask for after him and his staff miss every deadline and blow the budget again?
>>319673341
i 100% 69d ur mum m8
He owns Fig and he also postponed the end date to maximize profits. This is even more of a scam than a typical Kickstarter.

Tim Schafer doesn't deserve the money.
But the idiots who donate on his crowdfunding campaign deserve getting robbed.

As opposed to Animu game #3482722?
>>319685557
Brutal Legend was trash.
>>319686704
You're trash. For a game that was rushed out the door, it had the best multiplayer experience for its time.
I seriously hope none of those donators did it to "invest".
>>319687317
There's a breakdown. There are more people putting money up to "Invest" than to get goodies. You'll break even if the game sells 700,000 copies on Steam before turning tricks in humble bundles for fast food money, goy!
