You know who wants a Psychonauts sequel? Only you and everybody else – including Psychonauts creator Tim Schafer and Minecraft guy Markus “Notch” Persson. There’s not much you can do to make it happen, of course, but they<\/em> can. And they just might.<\/p>\n

“Let’s make Psychonauts 2 happen,” posted Notch on Twitter. “Also, I’m serious.”<\/p>\n

“Oh wait. Hm. This is interesting,” said Schafer in response.<\/p>\n

“Let’s move this discussion offline,” added Steven Dengler, the guy who funded the recent port of Psychonauts for Mac.<\/p>\n

Later that day…<\/em><\/p>\n

“Tim and Markus are talking. Who knows what might happen?” read a statement to Eurogamer by Schafer’s studio, Double Fine.<\/p>\n

The original Psychonauts, released in 2005, has become a bit of a cult superstar – despite tremendous critical acclaim and heaps of awards, the game was a commercial failure at launch, selling fewer than 100,000 copies over the next eight months, and costing publisher Majesco $18 million.<\/p>\n
