Ben-DutkaHey, remember Brutal Legend ?
It was a great game that now has a fiercely loyal following (much like most of Tim Schafer's productions) and those fans have been pining for a sequel ever since 2009.
Well, those fans had better help Psychonauts 2 get off the ground. Developer Double Fine is currently running a crowdfunding campaign for the long-awaited sequel and as Schafer said, it needs to do well if Brutal Legend 2 wants to have a chance (via Videogamer ):
"We've always said that we wanted to make sequels to both Psychonauts and Brutal Legend. We can't make any promises, but if Psychonauts is a success for us, then perhaps Brutal Legend 2 will be more possible?"
The Psychonauts 2 campaign is going along quite well; it's already closing in on $2 million and the project only needs $3.3 million. However, Brutal Legend cost around $25 million to develop so a full-fledged sequel could be tough. Don't forget that Electronic Arts backed the first title.
But if you want any shot at all, you gotta help make Psychonauts 2 a reality. And I can't wait to play it.

Damn, wish I had some money left over from Black Friday to add something to DF's kitty, but I'm completely tapped out.
Given how badly DoubleFine mismanages their kickstarters, how much they over promise and under deliver, I'm passing. I was super excited for Psychonauts 2 until I heard it was going to be crowdfunded.
