When you re-enter a completed level; a cutscene plays the first time. I do not own Psychonauts, this video is for entertainment/convenience purposes only.
Was this game perfect? No, of course not. The gameplay was unpolished, mechanics were underutilized, and basic gameplay elements were needlessly frustrating. But something about seeing the characters converse in this game, hearing the clever writing, top-notch voice acting, and fun story make it feel like a real movie that you play through. Not to mention they just blew that feel out of the water for the second game, with the wonderful animation and voice acting talents.
... I'd argue the mechanics felt pretty darn good to play with, which means there was a good degree of polish in order to develop such a good game feel. Now some of the texture work is unpolished, but you can blame that as an unavoidable issue of the technology back when it released. But having replayed Psychonauts just last year, it still *feels* good to play. A shame they nerfed the Levi ball in Psychonauts 2. It always felt so good to use that thing in the first game.
I honestly feel like this is one of the things that the original does way better then the sequel, here almost each level has something interesting happen when you revisit but in 2 all of them just feel empty, at best you have one NPC you can speak with and at worst it's a single line of dialouge from Raz when you enter a level
the sequel is great in many ways, especially in furthering the story and lore of the setting way better than the first, but it really did kinda drop the ball in a lot of the smaller more nuanced bits of charm that you get from just meandering about and/or exploring semi-aimlessly for the sake of completion, and just seeing what you find along the way. The new intern kids are the biggest example: they're fun in their own rights but they don't hold a candle to the campers of Whispering Rock.
I never knew you could talk to Fred while he’s awake and with no straitjacket. I’m guessing this is right after the elevator cutscene? Also 5:38 relatable.
I still wonder if the Gmen are more than just a representation of Boyd’s paranoia with how the censors and them come from the same vehicle and seemingly work together.
I am assuming you are talking about when Sasha and Milla are kidnapped. I wasn’t aware of it at the time and have made a separate video. ruclips.net/video/brk82Xiuz6U/видео.html
Whoa, there are entirely different cutscenes if you use the brain tumbler at night when it's time to fight the lungfish. Raz asks Milla where she's gone and she doesn't know
Both are great. The second builds upon the first, both have solid controls, have good writing (although I’d say the first is still better) and both are a joy to play. I’d say the first now looks very dated (obviously). If they remastered the first with the graphics of the second I’d be extremely happy.
I've read that in Sasha's mind it is proven that he smoked, which in Psychonauts 2 appeared like a new habit. Have you found the relevant line? "This is also proven in Sasha's Shooting gallery during the Mega Censor fight. When Raz is stamped a few times, Sasha asks Raz if he could reach into his pocket and pull out his cigarettes for him." -fandom wiki's page on sasha
@@visualoddities7394 Of course you do! Thanks man! Man there's a mountain of dialogue hidden in this game. What would you say are skme of the most interesting facts you've learned about the characters from their dialogue, or that you inferred from it? Also, have you tried to keep track (long scale) of all the dialogue to make sure you look everywhere?
For question 1: Off the top of my head, the clip I uploaded last night where Fred mentions the whole asylum has been fireproofed becuase the inmates were firestarters. ruclips.net/video/hOeEGVZaQzM/видео.html For question 2: The game has a lot of hidden dialogue and yet it is quite easy to remember the places. I keep a mental list. Maybe I played the game too much lol The thing is that there is quite a few (really) obscure dialogue that I only found through experimentation. An example is the line where the Dalmatian painter chases the censors away. ruclips.net/video/sRTWbPeNN-U/видео.html Side note: I noticed that you played the Madagascar 2 game! The Dreamworks games were my favorites growing up! I had Madagascar 1, 2 and Over the Hedge!
@@visualoddities7394 I had only played Madagascar for the volcano rave stuff as my friends sucked at it and I could do it all with ease hehe (twirls mustache). But I decided later in my early 20s to olay it start to finish 100% and it was super fun. Shooting some of those balloons was tough tho. The part where the dog chases away the bull had happened to me too. Maybe one day you can do a compilation of the most obscurely hidden lines? Please let me know if u feel like im asking u too much.haha. It's just that this channel is perfect for me as i played the game over 10 times i think and always wondered if there was a chance to view all the lines in my lifetime Just givin u ideas u can always ignore them
You know... Gloria would probably become a good friend for Helmet Fullbear and Bob Zanotto from the second game.
She like Theater... AND plants.

Yeah this game was a lot better than you say, it was Super fun

Co11in__ May I ask what mechanics you think were underutilized?
@@OtterloopB True, I mean levi ball absolutely broke platforming in the first game, no doubt.
But damn, they didn't need to nerf it THAT hard lol
I like how even after Fred gave Raz his jacket he still uses his foot to move the bear cause of his little arms
Thanks for going through this, it's a set of secrets I really I appreciate they went through scripting.
Glad that you appreciate my work : )
Have a good day
Also I love your name, planescape torment was a great game.

he is still the milkman, his milk is still delicious

you forgot to show sasha and milla after lili gets kidnapped.
Ah, did not think of that. Will make a seperate video soon. Thank you
The video is up
I still wonder if the Gmen are more than just a representation of Boyd’s paranoia with how the censors and them come from the same vehicle and seemingly work together.
That ending...Raz, you little troll! XD
God I just finished playing through it for the first time and even tho some of the platforming is a little janky the game is nothing short of magical.
0:24 woo boy the foreshadowing
Just so you know, i got different scenes for Sasha’s shooting range and milla’s dance party when i was doing a 100% victory lap
I am assuming you are talking about when Sasha and Milla are kidnapped. I wasn’t aware of it at the time and have made a separate video.

Wait what about meat circus
Can’t revisit it, it is at a “point of no return” part of the game
@@visualoddities7394 so kinda like the Outer World’s no return point aswell or New Vegas’s Battle of Hoover Dam quest.
Haven’t played Outer Worlds and haven’t finished New Vegas so I wouldn’t know.
it's a lot like the Kingdom Hearts endings if that helps
Only way back to get to the other minds after PONR is to perform a glitch, no extra content there anyway.
Whoa, there are entirely different cutscenes if you use the brain tumbler at night when it's time to fight the lungfish. Raz asks Milla where she's gone and she doesn't know
Theres some additional re entering mind conversations if you return to sasha and miias brains after they get captured
Yeah idk why everyone thinks the second game is better this is so iconic
Both are great. The second builds upon the first, both have solid controls, have good writing (although I’d say the first is still better) and both are a joy to play.
I’d say the first now looks very dated (obviously). If they remastered the first with the graphics of the second I’d be extremely happy.
At least the second game makes a lot of references to the first one.
@@hopperhelp1 Oh I’d love to see that happen. Maybe add some changes to the gameplay but not tinkering with the story much.
3:32 that sound effect brought me right back to Make a Cake
These was so cool
the milkman likes to whitewash
No trace will be left except for milk
Also when miia and that other guy brain are stole, when raz re e Evers their minds, raz tells them what coach oleander did to the campers
6:20 ah he said it he said it
6:07
Uh d- uhm s- sticky paws?
A+

I'm pretty sure there were other lines for Sasha and Milla for while their brains were captured by Loboto but then again, not 100% sure
smh, didnt even talk to the cow
A grave mistake I know, hope my latest video will make amends.
Did they do this for Psychonauts 2?
I haven’t tested Psychonauts 2 out yet, I wouldn’t know. Will play it soon
Answer: ehhhhhh yes but not as cinematic as the first one. Some levels have some nice touches if you replay them.
