So there's this new Digital Spy interview with Tim Schafer, bossman at Double Fine and creator of the PlayStation 2-era action/platformer Psychonauts (among many other things). He admits in the interview that a pitch for a Psychonauts sequel exists, that that the publishers he's pitched so far have passed. "I'd have to convince someone to just give me a few million dollars. That's all," he said.
Fortunately for us all, Markus "Notch" Persson exists. Not only did he create Minecraft, he's also someone who has a deep and abiding love for the same awesome games that most of you readers go nuts for. Games like Psychonauts. Notch also likes Twitter, as does Schafer. So he tweeted (via Rock Paper Shotgun) the following at the Double Fine head: "Let's make Psychonauts 2 happen."
No, this isn't really news. There's nothing happening... yet. It's a fact that Mojang is a publisher, and that it's made a goodly sum of money off of Minecraft sales. Maybe if enough of us report on Notch's tweet, and wish and hope hard enough, one day, perhaps many years from now, a Mojang-published Psychonauts 2 really will be a reality.
And THAT, my friends, would qualify as news.

For anyone that has completed the torturous "Meat Circus" level, I think we've all earned the right to play Psychonauts 2 ;p

I loved Psychonauts, but my concern is the sequel might not be that great or what the fans want. It's been a long time, a lot has changed in the industry. Games like Psychonauts are dead sadly, and having it return may mean changing the play style, like putting in killstreaks and predator missiles. That last part was a joke, but you know what I mean.

No one will buy it like the 1st one, that's why I hate hardcore gamers, they claim to want something but when it's releases only a few pick it up.

If this game and Shenmue 3 would be made I would die a happy gamer someday. I've wanted Psychonauts 2 since I first beat Psychonauts. I won't even get into Shenmue :(

If I had a few million dollars, I'd be on board. What can a few thousand dollars get me?
'Let's make Psychonauts 2 happen' is far from a legally binding contract, so I'll wait for more concrete news with cautious optimism.
