According to an investor on FiG, Psychonauts 2 needs at least 2 million copies sold in order for Double Fine to break even on development costs but only if the game is priced at $60. Same goes for investors trying to break even with the game.
When it was originally pitched to investors, the goal was around 1.7 million copies needed at $20 in order for investors to get almost all their money back and Double Fine to break even. For some reference, Psychonauts 1 has sold around 1.7 million copies since its release although almost 800k was due to Humble Bundle sales alone. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1294935 |

Battlefield 1 uses dynamic resolutions to keep frame rate, but apparently has no lower limit... Going as low as 90p in some places...
PS1 mode. From the PS4 version, but XB1 does the same too. |

So there's an Animal Crossing Direct tomorrow and they've already come out in front and said there will be no Switch announcements and this isn't about their mobile game they planned.
There's a patch coming for New Leaf to enable Amiibo support... But is that it? They've said there's a 3DS game called Miitopia they'll also be showing off, but it seems weird to have an entire direct around one unknown game and a patch. Will be watching this fo' sho'. |
