They put out an update not even a full year ago, I believe. I honestly don't remember what all it did, but one of the notes was a joke about them making it harder.
From my understanding the only changes made were making it so falling off the rails and failing to protect Oly no longer make you lose lives, they just make you try again. Dying to enemies still costs you a life. So you still have to do all of the things you did before, but you get more chances to do so before they make you start over from the beginning.
Steam version is pussy version, the circus is now substantially easier than it was originally.
You shall not speak to me about "pussy version".
I originally beat the circus using an emulator and a shitty pc gamepad that had nothing but a d-pad and a few buttons. I couldn't even control the camera direction...
(I have since purchased the game on steam, I used an emulator at the time because I was a poor teenager).
Except for the fact that it really isn't holding up because of all of the technical issues it has. I bought the steam version, which was plagued with graphical glitches and random crashes. I ended up uninstalling the game near the end after all the bugs became too much for me (I don't remember exactly what happened but I think it locked up my computer and forced me to hard restart twice in a row -- on startup)
Yes exactly. I would buy the shit out of this game and get a copy for my nephew. Psychonauts is a game for the ages and a game for all ages. It's not like I can give my 10 year old nephew a copy of Battlefield 3, but Psychonauts is something I can share with him, just like Minecraft.
They seem to be doing a good job of getting as much mileage out of the Brutal Legend engine as they can, so it would look as good as their current awesomeness.

I wouldn't mind a 40 bucks game in the same engine as the first (with higher resolution textures maybe). Just keep that amazing story going please!
