Epic Mickey
 

Most of this stuff was borrowed from a thread over at GAF, but I got to say I like the style based on the concept art, I love Disney and love platformers so I got my eyes on this one.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Hahaha, wtf is this?

Re: Epic Mickey
 

stuff of nightmares :lolz:

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Must be a 360 game!! :rolleyes:

I wonder how it will work out. And a Wii game, that's awesome. :)

Sheesh

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Looks amazing. I should be getting this issue in the mail in a few days.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Nice concept. Let's hope they don't screw up the gameplay.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

This game sounds really cool.
Like a mix of de Blob and someone's demented childhood.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I've been hearing about this for a few months somewhere, I think Kotaku.

It seems like it's going to be a pretty good game. It had some big-name producer if I'm not mistaken.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Yeah the man who did the first Deus Ex and the Thief series. And I believe System Shock.


Phantom Blot


Oswald

Re: Epic Mickey
 

System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex eh? I'm down!

Re: Epic Mickey
 

OSWALD IS SO CUTE!

Re: Epic Mickey
 

NOT ANYMORE!



BaB, you forgot to throw Okami into the mix.

And I hope it has WM+.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

You were all "sheesh" and stuff before, now you're saying something different. Make up your mind :p

I can't say this excites me, but to be honest, I have high hopes for it.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I meant Sheesh as in like Holy shit for that magazine cover. It looked pretty awesome.

Didn't mean it to come off like that but I guess it did. It actually looks kinda cool.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Heh, I was just kidding anyway :)

Brief history of Mickey and Oswald.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

This looks like it will animate nicely.


Think my favorite

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Nice. How did they get stuff like this?

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I don't think those are from the game.
The article said they don't want people seeing Mickey's face because of the transformation - granted that is a rough animation, but I don't think they'd have been able to be released.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Yeah that's what I was also thinking... they were pretty secretive about Mickey's looks.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

It looks a lot different than the concept art made it seem








I do like some of the screens though.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Those images don't work. Here's a link to IGN's utter cesspool of an Image Viewer, but it's better than nothing.

By looks alone, I am unimpressed. Compare this to Super Mario Galaxy, and Epic Mario might as well be GCN 1.0 or worse.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Yeah it doesn't look half as good as the hype made it out to be.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I agree the concept art was amazing, things of nightmares, the actual game looks pretty generic to me.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

meh...not nearly as cool as it was made out to be.

I was expecting a much more gothic/steampunk type game...with actually decent graphics.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Epic Failure Mickey

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Indeed.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Haha, nice catch. :D That's just weird.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Here's some footage of all the levels from the e3 demo, and the game looks so much better.
Also love that there will be "Film" stages which are throwbacks to old Mickey projects.
And yeah, still one of my most anticipated games of the year.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I still think the game looks incredibly boring. The 2D platformer... bah, it's a great example of bad level design.
The 3D stuff I saw also looked very generic.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I think it's an awesome idea.
I can't remember the last time a platformer came out that didn't have the name "Banjo" or "Mario" in it.

I also think it looks really cool. I like the concept.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Not being Mario or Banjo (do people still look up to Banjo?) makes a game more interesting?

I'm glad with more platformers, I think the industry can use them. But some of them just look boring. This is one of them (from what I've seen in the N press conf).

Re: Epic Mickey
 

Yes. The characters aren't just characters, they bring an established universe with them. In the end, platformers all have the same basic gameplay. It is the universe where the gameplay takes place that truly males them compelling.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I don't buy your first statement.
And feel that your second is just completely wrong. Its like saying all FPS play the same. They all have the basic premise, but doesn't mean they play the same.

Or I guess better example,






3 Platformers
3 consoles
3 Different ways of playing.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

I agree with Strangie on this.


The thing is, just like any game that is comparable to itself, all 3 of those platformers are....platformers. Which means they're the same, aside from the fact that in one of them you reverse time, and in one of them you shoot things with upgradable guns. But you're still jumping on platforms, be it left to right, or in a 3D world. Just like in an FPS you have to shoot bad guys. This is why the big difference is the location, and not the type of game.

Have you played any recent FPS games? They all play basically the same. Just like an open-world game typically plays the same. IE RDR and GTA (yes I know they're made by the same company, but my point stnds.)

The reason I agree with Strangie is because the universe is entirely different. It's not something we've seen before, and it's not some 2D thing made for XBL or Wiiware. It's an actual, new, platforming game. The universe hasn't been played before. It's fresh, and it's new.

Unlike the mario universe where you've essentially played it 5 times before, and the R&C universe where you've also essentially played it 5 times before. I'm not knocking those games.

Rather, the fact there hasn't been a Mickey Mouse game practically ever (for current gen at least) makes it entirely fresh. And considering it's an actual game and not for download, that makes it even better.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

:rofl:

Re: Epic Mickey
 

How can you comment on the level design to such a high degree before playing it?

And platformers are my favorite genre of video game - to say their all the same is to say every video game is the same because you're playing something with a video involved.

Re: Epic Mickey
 

High five!

I love me some platformers which is why loved Nintendo's e3. :drool:
