Ragnar!

Tim finally makes an game that has actual gameplay and tries to push
adventure gaming into new arenas and you tell him he should make
films? :( You need to see the actual game, man! It's as fun to play as
the cutscenes are to watch, at least from my experience volunteer
playtesting a few levels for Double Fine back before E3. Considering
TLJ is all about advancing adventuring into a more realtime
environment with real gameplay instead of odd abstracted mouse-delayed
stuff of the point and click era I would have expected more than "he
should get out of the games industry" really :)

Good point. But here's the thing: I have no doubt Psychonauts will be a fun game. Tim Schafer knows design. I have faith. That doesn't change the fact that the trailer makes me want to see this made into a movie (which, by the way, is a compliment). It's just that kind of trailer. The dialogue, the characters, the story, the music - it all screams "ridiculously expensive CGI feature! Now, dammit!". If Tim Schafer went to Pixar - or PDI, Blue Sky Studios, Disney - it would certainly be a great loss for this industry, but as a storyteller he'd gain a larger audience, more credit, more appreciation, loads of cash, and quite possibly lots of nubile groupies. And that's never a bad thing. (Especially the groupies.)

Still: I'm happy there are writers/directors of his caliber making games. If Hollywood can't see quality writing when it kicks them in the shin, then screw 'em. We'll keep Tim and Pixar be damned. They've got The Incredibles coming, so I'm good.  ¶ 21:17
