![]() It was previously shown as a game-jam-esque project, but it was mentioned to be coming to the game in some form.Īlong with the gambling world and cooking world, there are teases for a few other locations, including a natural looking garden area, a water-focused level and a world where Raz is rowing a boat between islands. There are two short clips of it in the holiday update, and it seems like the objective is to find ingredients and cook them in different ways. I’ve got no idea what the context behind this world is, but Double Fine have previously talked about this cooking mini-game in this video, and it seems to be making its way to Psychonauts 2 as its own level. A Previously Mentioned Cooking Minigame is Here There’s a small section of the holiday update that shows Raz walking on a cube, with one of the sides being labelled “high roller." My thinking here is that each side is a vault of Ford’s and shows one of his personalities, including the barber, bowling, mailman, and gambling side of him. The other theory is a bit more wild, but I believe this and the mailman section that’s been shown before could also be a part of Ford’s world and be representative of his split mind. That’s an interesting enough concept on its own and could easily fill a whole world. The first is that it’s a completely new world that’s entirely based on gambling. In this new holiday update we see a lot more footage of this world, including some skeletons that seem to be NPC’s and a bunch more gameplay of Raz in the world. We could see Raz fighting amongst poker chips and riding around on a big pinball, but again it was unclear what it was for. A World Based on GamblingĪnother thing that was shown off in the first E3 trailer was a world based on gambling. There’s also a sweet piece of holiday art featuring them all together, which tells me that they’ll be pretty important in the grand scheme of things. That’s a big part of Psychonauts, so it’s good to see some of it here. My initial takeaway from the inclusion of interns is to have that childlike wonder quality that was present in the camp setting of the first game. Expect Raz to have to warm them up to him and band together. What each of them have done to become an intern is completely unknown, but they didn’t seem super friendly in that initial trailer. ![]() This is confirmed in another piece of concept art that lines them up and names them. Perhaps taking him away from Psitanium has done more damage than good. The mental connection between bowling and Ford isn’t super clear right now, but if I had to guess, it has something to do with getting a “split” in bowling and the state of Ford’s mind throughout the first and second game. This was represented by him having multiple personalities and jobs around the summer camp of the first game.įord having his own mental world shouldn’t be a massive surprise to Psychonauts fans, considering how important the character is and the hints at it within that same trailer. He was once a Psychonaut himself, but his mind was damaged and now requires him to be near a steady source of Psitanium in order to function properly. ![]() ![]() At the time it was pretty unclear what was ahead, but this latest batch of concept art is a massive hint that this is Ford Cruller’s mind, which is split into different sections.įor the uninitiated, Ford Cruller was a major character in the first game and a mentor to Raz. In the first big trailer revealed at Xbox’s E3 conference last year we saw brief glimpses of Raz sliding down a barbershop-colored slide, with no indication as to what world this might be.
