Brutal Legend was Psychonauts 2 does well, then maybe—just maybe—it'll happen a little quicker.
There are no guarantees in this world, of course, but Double Fine connected the fate of one game to the other in the Psychonauts 2 FAQ isn't lying). "We can't make any promises but if Psychonauts 2 is a success for us, then perhaps Brutal Legend 2 will be more possible?"
It's hardly uncommon for developers to say that they'd like to revisit their old games, or to connect a hypothetical future game with one that's in the works. But in this case there's more of a practical angle to it, because Double Fine is in the midst of raising $3.3 million to help fund Psychonauts 2. "Can't make any promises" is clear enough, but there's clearly a little bit of cart-hitching going on here.
It hardly seems necessary: Less than a week after it kicked off, the Psychonauts 2 Fig (which I guess is what we're calling it) is approaching the $2 million mark, and seems set to meet its goal with relative ease.
Thanks, Videogamer.
