11th Hour (7th Guest sequel) came out in 1995
The 3rd game came out in 2019 called 13th Doll (fan game which was sanctioned by Trilobyte).....so that's 24 years

Heh, I decided to stay up, as the release date is the 25th of August and it is 22h20 on the 24th here (Brussels). That is, until I saw it only unlocks at 2am.
That's disappointing. The series X is my first X-box console. Is it always like that? On PlayStation you can usually play one minute after midnight, in my experience.

Nah there are a bunch. Aside from what's been mentioned by others there's:
Bard's Tale III (1988) to Bard's Tale IV (2018), 30 years (This is the record as far as games I can think of)
Streets of Rage 3 (1994) to Streets of Rage 4 (2020), 26 years.
Ultima Underworld II -> Underworld Ascendant (25 years)
Elite III (1995) -> Elite Dangerous (19 years)
Tempest 3000->Tempest 4000 (18 years)
It's actually not crazy uncommon in the era of Kickstarter for people to dig up some very old stuff for the fogies who still care.
Unless you mean between a first game and the second, which would probably just be Wasteland. But then you wouldn't have said Duke Nukem I guess.

Thanks Microsoft for Returnal and Rift Apart. My favorite games this year, so far.
On subject, I've started the first Psychonauts which I never got around to on PS2. I'm not really feeling it yet, but I want to try and push through and see if I want to begin this one, knowing it's a longer commitment.

No usually it's a midnight release, and usually you can switch to NZ when it's midnight there to play early.
Occasionally (like this and Flight Sim) it has a global release where it releases at the same time everywhere, regardless of time zone.

It really varies from game to game to be honest. A while back every game was midnight but most games seem to have a random worldwide unlock time. It's a 'fairer' way of doing it really otherwise New Zealand/Australia just get everything first.

it's completely random, some games unlock on midnight of each region (and you can then just change the country on your Xbox to play it early as well) or some developers set up a very specific time that it unlocks at globally.
I prefer the midnight releases, especially since that means you can set your system to New Zealand or Australia and play them 8h early

Fired up on the PS5. Funny that the first thing you see is an in your face XBOX GAME STUDIOS logo 
60 FPS at least. Weird to not feel any vibrations or get any controller feedback especially coming off of Tsushima. I’m sure MS was like “Give them the bare minimum.”

I know you're semi joking but they only had to provide a PS4 version. The fact they added a 60fps mode on PS5 is going above what the devs had to do.Fired up on the PS5. Funny that the first thing you see is an in your face XBOX GAME STUDIOS logo

I was playing psychonaughts 1 on the cloud....uhhh. Feels like if I subtracted the cloud, it would maybe feel like sly cooper. Is the first level bad, or am I supposed to look past this for something greater?

First level is a first level, give it time. A big part of the appeal is how diverse and clever all the different levels are.

I'm already Rank 4! The Clarvoiyance abilty is hilarious. The lunch lady in particular made me laugh.
Oh yeah I'm going to love this game.

First time playing this series, so far so good, very funny, and the gameplay is very interesting. Playing on PC, the performance is great.

Well, shit. There is another Ultima Underworld game?
The thread is more enthusiastic about then game than Penny Arcade. I started a thread in there and barely anyone showed up.
I played some of the beginning level. It already starts off with a good idea with Loboto...
...operating on himself to remove them from his mind.

It has gotten some patches over the years. Plays nicer with XInput controllers now and some other fixes.

Such a fun quirky game, I played for awhile and really liked some of the characters. The camera can't get out of its own way at times, but other than that I don't really have anything negative to say. I love how alive everything feels

I disagree. I'm playing on PC as well, and there's stutters and hitches everywhere when doing things for the first time. It's REALLY disappointing.
Typical UE4 shader compilation hitching.

OK just finished the second brain and the 1st real boss.
Some quick thoughts.
Holy shit they ramped this thing up to 11, if the second brain is this large how big are later levels going to be?
They upped the craziness off the charts as well.
The HDR really shines in that second brain. So much glowy.
While it took 16 years for this to come, I'm glad we finally got it, and that it's the vision Tim had for it instead of something paired back due to budget. Surely this will be a cult classic just like the 1st.

Ive only found 2 scavenger hunt items so far. Is it possible to have scavenger items in the brain levels?
First game in several months to use quick resume on series x, nice to see it back.

I don't think you are meant to find them all yet as there are parts of the place still locked. I'm guessing you aren't going to finish that quest until near the end.

Already out on PC game pass.
There's a quick recap to catch you up with the story, but Raz at camp first learning his abilities is worth a playthrough.

This is exactly it, they took everything that was great about the first and enhanced it. So far its amazing......

Played the first level/tutorial. Loved it! With this and Ratchet & Clank getting great reviews, I hope they both do very well sales wise, so that publishers take notice and make more like these.

Can't decide on 60 or 120 fps. The art style kinda allows for lower resolutions, but the image is still visibly softer at times. On the other hand, 120 fps is so smooth...
