Sadly not.
A physical version only exists for those that backed the game on Fig years ago. Double Fine is aware of the demand, but Microsoft couldn't find the resources to make it happen at launch after more than 2 years of owning the studio, which is more than disappointing.
microsoft as in the trillion dollar corporation? thats funny.
in any case, hope it happens at some point. maybe they'll even release a collection with the 1st game included, a lot of people havent played it
Questions about a collectible while revisiting a particular mind: Compton
1. is there a way to replay the contests after beating the level?
2. I totally flubbed putting together the 3rd dish in the cooking show within the time limit, and I read somewhere the baggage tag I'm missing was the prize, but upon revisiting from the collective unconscious there's a locked prize and no apparent way to open it with the game show trappings missing.

I have exactly the same issues.
The 60 fps ingame cap worked for me too.
And those caching problems seem to be very prominent in some Game Pass titles (e.g. The Ascent)
I'm on Series S and it absolutely has a mode selector toggle in the game settings. It's a max framerate toggle, the first option under Display. 60 or 120.

Same here.
I think the evade doesn't have any invincible frames? When my timing feels 'right' (probably conditioned by many other games) I always get hit, so I'm playing it safe, evading way earlier than I normally would do.
I'm only a few hours in but this is amazing! I loved the original and never expected this to live up to it for some reason. So far I could see this being my GOTY if the quality stays consistent.
Not even done with the opening but I love how there's already so much hidden dialogue, just like in the original. Watching Sasha get his ass kicked is too funny.
Something tells me this game is going to be a treat.
Can't wait to get to the Motherlobe and start meeting the new characters.

This happens on PC too. Usually when I first enter a new large area. Swinging the camera 360 fixes it for me.
Is it my impression, or was the final part of the game was cutted away while making this recap?
Congratulations. I, on the other hand, was at 80% and I could not resist. Thanks to a level with the use of the camera and frustrating controls, I decided to stop and jump directly on the 2. I loved playing the first one even if it is 16 years old but, I would do a damage to insist when there is an improved title in everything that awaits me
It would be a dream
I agree
Game has been very good so far. I really enjoy all the characters. For some reason the performance of cutscenes is terrible though. I usually get 120fps easy during gameplay at 4K on a 3090 but cutscenes plummet down to 70-90 and stutter badly. Very weird
Need to think about it after the credits, but im with the 9's and 10s I guess. Not perfect but what it does well it does so well.
Is the soundtrack available anywhere?

Yeah, that framerate toggle only showed up after I disabled "Allow 4K" in the Xbox settings because the game was defaulting to 4K despite the resolution being set to 1440p in the settings as well.I'm on Series S and it absolutely has a mode selector toggle in the game settings.

This is the same for me.
Cutscenes literally halve my framerate at times.
I think this game needs a few patches.
Having this exact problem as well. Except I DID complete the title in the allotted time, but there was no time to collect the prize before the next section started and then finished the story and kicked me out of the brain. So now...? Seems like a bug, but maybe just missing something obvious somehow?
I guess I just don't get the flame power. Does it not shoot? Does it just go out a few feet in front of your character? Feel like I need to get too close to the enemies it's supposed to kill and I get hit a lot.
Yeah it's weird I think it would be better as a fire version of psy blast. It literally just makes an orb around you, so you have to get pretty close.
It's an AoE attack that you charge up and release. Depending on how upgraded it is, it's either goes in front of you a bit, or fully surrounds you
My thoughts exactly. The start is slow honestly, but the game starts becoming something special right after it.
General rule: always use in-game cap when you have it, it gives less input lag and can run smoothly since is an internal one.
If the in-game cap is trash then rely on other programs like RTSS but always give a go to the in-game cap.
For v-sync user: cap to 60fps even if you enable v-sync (at 60HZ) so you get less input lag.
I just completed the Hollis Mind missions and the Casino levels are simply amazing. So far Psychonauts 2 is my GOTY!.
You do have to be close, yeah. A yellow highlight should appear on enemies or the environment (pictures, etc,) that are within distance to be immolated.
The bit when you first get ejected from the high rollers club and the room inverted to become another room and the dice...
Blew my mind.
Never seen that in a videogame before.
HDR seems to work fine on PC. Looks amazing too. Some of the environments are really amazing in this game. The casino has been so great
Loving the game so far as someone who never played the first. Do you get any bonus for lighting all the pictures on fire in the opening levels? There are SO MANY.
Here's some of my first gameplay. I'm still getting the powers down.

Just to be clear: vibration isn't working for anyone on the PS4/PS5 version of the game, right?
Outside of a few mentions in this thread I haven't seen anyone talk about this seemingly major bug, so now I'm starting to wonder if it's just affecting myself and a small group of others.

Its a short range AOE because its a very strong attack which works on specific enemies. Another psy blast would be boring.
Visual are sharp, art direction and design is great and the voices are fantastic. Enjoying so far, but admitting still early.
I think HDR is Xbox exclusive as it doesn't actually have it only AutoHDR
Have you tried the new dodge/roll mechanic? Flick stick left or right and press B/Circle. In fact, you can upgrade it to be some sort of parry
just started and feels great to finally be playing this. probably not going to have a ton of time to play for the next couple weeks, which hurts, but really happy to see how positive reviews and fan feedback seems to be so far.
Same, played the intro last night and noticed this too. Couldn't understand why I was taking damage when I felt I was dodging in time. I haven't played a 3D platformer in a while but jumping and movement is a little wonky to me. Still having fun with it though, the presentation and style is top notch.
