When was the last time Double Fine made something of this scale? There's nothing even close to it. Even the original Psychonauts was like a much smaller project than this. And I'm very curious now that they're under the Microsoft banner and the Xbox banner, right? If everyone is just happier making smaller projects again? Yeah.
A few weeks ago, game developer Double Fine surprise-dropped a 22-hour documentary about the seven-year creation of Psychnoauts 2. At least that's the premise on paper. In reality, the stunning TV-length doc is a fearless look inside the day-to-day life of a video game studio -- warts and all. The documentarians, employed by Double Fine, have unprecedented access to practically every person and room . Frush and Plante talk about the series, called Double Fine PsychOdyssey, along with The Last of Us TV adaptation. Plus, a delightful new retro gaming book is a perfect gift for video game newcomers.
