I couldn't get into Psychonauts 2. Same could be said for the original Psychonauts. The gameplay just isn't great.
It has received a boost recently for PS5. I’m playing it now and it looks like 4K to me. Super crisp.
Pretty sure its still 1440p because there has not been a PS5 update for the game since November.It has received a boost recently for PS5. I’m playing it now and it looks like 4K to me. Super crisp.
And now no one will count pixels for us…Pretty sure its still 1440p because there has not been a PS5 update for the game since November.

It was 1440p before the latest patch. I’m playing FFVII Remake Integrade on performance mode parallel to this and Psy2 looks much sharper.
The patch note reads: "Improve PS4 version's resolution and stability on PS5." It does not look like the PlayStation community has discovered exactly what resolution the game now runs at on Sony's current-gen console, but we'll update this article once we learn more.

Is the ring in the middle ok? To dark? Not sure if that's ok. Finished it at the end of december.whoever uploads, remember we need a slight slope on screen like this: (not a slope inside of a texture but the edge of an object)
I would love to play Psy2, but since there is no ps5 version, I decided to wait until I get a better PC.

I have a lot of shots but non fits the criteria.nah it has to be a straight line in about that angle that I showed in the screenshot

Deathloop is a great game, Psychonauts 2 is very overrated
I played about 4 hours of Pschonauts 2 and I tried to finish the game and just couldn’t do it, which is rare for me.The graphics and gameplay are dated, even on the Series X and it just wasn’t enjoyable to play at all. I was shocked to see it even mentioned in the GOTY conversation.it's actually the other way around, although IMO both are overrated
Psychonauts is a solid 8/10 imo and Deathloop is maybe a 7/10. I have not played it since they patched the AI tho so maybe my rating would go up if the AI isn't as ridiculously stupid anymore
Just finished Deathloop 2 days ago on PC. Thought it was good but easily the worst Arkane game out of their modern offering. It brought about a few good ideas but regressed in world building, character building, and gameplay variety. Arkane was never that great at telling stories but I preferred the simple straight forward stories of their past games compared to the obtuse offering in Deathloop. I also found the PC port horrendous with stuttering and memory leaks requiring frequent restarts of the game. Maybe it's just my setup? I remember Dishonored 2 being poorly optimized but it wasn't this bad and was patched rather quickly. It was marketed well and charted on PS downloads. I also saw it on steam top downloads lists early on so I think it sold okayish?
Surprised to hear console version is even worse. Not many people talk about it so I guess most that played have moved on. Unlike the older games this has zero replay value to me.their games always have some technical issues... Prey ran ridiculously well tho for a Cryengine game to be completely honest lol... but even that has issues, for example if you don't run a 100% constanly perfectly even framerate your character movement will stutter and change slightly which can feel like engine stutter. so you basically have to try and then lock it using .ini files to a framerate you can consistently reach and not drop below.
but the PS5 version of Deathloop is way worse believe me. at least they now patched in a damn FoV slider finally (and I think you can finally rebind buttons now?), but at launch is was pure hell. super low FoV + the controller aiming is maybe the worst I know of from the last 2 or 3 years, worse than in Prey... somehow, which was already very hard at the edge to having bad controller aiming.. and the aiming has not been patched yet.

I also recently finished Prey and luckily dodged the issue you are talking about. You are right though their games have issues more often than not and they need to be patching things quicker.
Tim Schafer has a bit of a curse.
PS1 was well beloved by the people that played it, but it was always a cult favorite. Seems PN2 is going to be the same.
Those of us that love the franchise really love it though and PS2 was a near perfect sequel.
I can agree with that.I think that right there is also the reason many don't like it tho.
IMO Psychonauts 2 feels like a direct sequel, as in an og Xbox/PS2 game that happens to have slightly more modern graphics. if you don't like this more oldschool feel to the game and its design you might have a bad time, while people that like that era of platformers will absolutely adore it
