Gaming News - April 2005
Edison, NJ (April 19, 2005) - Majesco today announced that Psychonauts
has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Developed by Double Fine Productions,
Psychonauts is available for the Xbox and personal computer, and will be offered
on the PlayStation 2 later this spring.
“Psychonauts is executed with creative and technical brilliance, and feedback
from media and retailers confirms that it is one of the most innovative video
games ever introduced,” said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing for Majesco.
“Double Fine has done a tremendous job developing a game that takes consumers on
a humorous ride ‘through the looking glass’ of the mind, and leaves them coming
back for more.”
Tim Schafer, founder of Double Fine Productions, added: “As the adage goes,
‘great minds think alike,’ and we are happy to be working with a quality
publisher like Majesco who shared our vision for Psychonauts. We’re excited to
get the game into consumers’ hands and hope they enjoy playing it as much as we
enjoyed creating it.”
From Majesco:
Created by Double Fine Productions, Inc., Psychonauts thrusts players into a
third-person psychic odyssey across 13 incredibly unique levels: three set in
the real world and ten set inside the mental worlds of misfits, monsters and
madmen. Once inside a mind, players rise in rank by collecting figments of
imagination; sorting through emotional baggage; clearing out mental cobwebs and
cracking open memory vaults. Players also earn psychic powers like telekinesis,
invisibility, pyrokinesis and clairvoyance as they progress through the game.
Featuring a humorous storyline filled with unforgettable characters and
non-linear gameplay of incredible depth, Psychonauts offers players multiple
paths throughout wildly imaginative settings. Along the way, players must
conquer an array of challenging puzzles with alternate solutions that tailor
themselves to a player’s own strengths and abilities.
