The Art of Epic Mickey will be a 160-page hardcover landscape coffee table book. It will be written by Epic Mickey co-writer Austin Grossman and will feature a forward by Game Director and New York Times contributor, Warren Spector. The book will journey through the beautifully dark and twisted world known as Cartoon Wasteland touching on the creative process behind developing this once-in-a-lifetime vision. It will include, sketches, concept art, final frames, and stills from the actual game, plus, never-before-used art with quotes from the team that envisioned this epic tale. The physical world of the game is born directly from Disneyland, and accordingly, the book will spotlight the artistic influence that Disneyland, with its iconic qualities and rides, had on the creators of Epic Mickey.

The worst thing about concept art is that it always looks infinitely more interesting than whatever makes it into the final product. And here is a case in point.

This is what helped make titles like wind waker and wario so good. Either way...i really am a sucker for a good art book, so this will go perfectly with my small collection.
 
I wonder if the book will mention the concept coming from that weird Disney design thing, Sean "Famous" Vanaman being one of the contributors and his creating the smudged Mickey logo.
 
seems like a great value. 160 pages, hardcover, i assume all colored. $25.

uncharted one was like $300 bucks or something, i don't remember all the details though. :(

that $300 Uncharted artbook was some limited version with leather cover. really lame. the regular version is like $40-50.
 
A WiiU sequel would be fucking impeccable with all the capabilities.
 
Cool! I was in stunned by this, totally dug the concept art when it started to leak, but like everyone around here I felt a bit let down by the first couple gameplay screenshots.

I literally just started playing this one last weekend, and the game's closer to concept art than I expected, if the game ends up leaving a good impression I could be convinced to pick this up... But I wouldn't feel inclined to buy the art book to a game I can't stand. Which I bet is gonna be the case for quite a few people.

Pretty much this. The early concept art for Epic Mickey was so cool, pity the game didn't look anything like it.
