I never played Psychonauts in my life but I decided to see GameSpots video review. Besides all of the chaos that happens in one shot with various enemies, I spotted the pipe grind technique. As I recall, Rachet and Clank added this to their Tools of Destruction. Did the developers steal this idea from the makers of Psychonauts?! I just hate gimmicks!

Does it really matter who did it first? It's not a big part of either game and both do it well.

Every developer "borrows" ideas from one another. That's just the industry. Look at how many names "bullet time" has been given since it first appeared.

Having a sense of humor is good for you... Instead of calling someone an "a**hole" for making a joke maybe you should try developing a sense of humor.

Really what does it matter? Its not like R&C was heralded for their astounding pipe grind technique, it was for a lot of other things...I personally don't care how the developers of Psychonauts got this idea...whatever works, right? The game was still phenominal, and still no one bought it, damn people....

Everyone always has something slick to say when I say something on here. Damn and I thought Halo was where all the lil kids stayed at, but I see more childesh things going on here than on LIVE. Oh and by the way, who are you? like really, you're nobody so I doubt I'll take an advice from you...My focus is on the mature individuals, the handful we have here on GS.

Nah nah nah, Rachet and Clank stole the grinding from REAL skateboarding and then Psychonauts stole it and then Tony Hawk stole it.  Get your facts straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And dont forget about that rollerblading cartoon game, whatever it was called, actually I think real skateboarding stole it from that rollerblading game first.

I don't know that either one of them was the first to ever use rail grinding. Skateboarding games have been around since the PS1 days like Tony Hawk and stuff, so I don't think either R&C or Psychonauts were the originals.

I was playing the simpsons game and noticed they used the colour red, and determined they ripped that from mario 1 for the NES. Those bastads ripped that colour off! Only one game can use that colour. it's freakin RED man!!
