Warren Fucking Spector bitches.

This better not be leaking because it's cancelled or I'm gonna have to stab some folks.

I'll take care of it if it is.

 

[Dina]

Who the fuck is Dippy? STFU with that Dippy shit!

He's goofy.

 

[comedy bomb]

Really interesting take on some classic stuff. I doubt this is still a living project though.

 

[a Master Ninja]

He's got a tail!

 

[GotchaForce]

Pretty sure it was the GDC 08 podcast of GFWradio where Spector had said he's working on something for Disney and the stuff he was showing them he was amazed at what they were letting him get away with.

 

[DCharlie]

Not hard to see the motivations - if Disney start making their own Disney games (given they have inhouse dev now) then they can start making their own bank without needing to collabourate with anyone else and share the resulting $$

Heard a lot of good things about the project, but not heard much in a while so hope it's still alive.

wasn't warren spector working on something like this, or am I getting my wires crossed?

 

[GhaleonQ]

I want 2 things to make this different from the usual dance through Pocahontas or whatever: a Miss Ruby/Octavio from Sly Cooper or Gitaroo-Man-like rhythm section against mecha-skeletons from "The Skeleton Dance" and a horrifying tower level based on the famous "The Old Mill" short.

I haven't seen many platformers that go hand in hand with wonderful epics. Though perhaps I'm thinking too much of old 2-D ones.

Actually, yes. An adventure game in the vein of Heavy Rain/The Dig would actually be a pretty good idea.

0-2!

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Hooooly shiiiite!

Not what I expected at all!

 

[JMC]

Yeah. This is mentioned in the quote in the OP.

 

[abstract alien]

Alright, what do we have to do in order to get this going?

 

[justchris]

Also, I hope the title is Steampunk Willie.

:lol Yes

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Alright, what do we have to do in order to get this going?

An E-Petition!

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Yeah. This is mentioned in the quote in the OP.

I read the first sentence and then got distracted by the awesome art. My bad.

 

[DDayton]

I find it hard to believe Disney would have gone along with this... at least, the specific images.

 

[momolicious]

looks amazing

 

[Grayman]

That is some cool looking art there

 

[HUELEN10]

Was bored.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

There has to be someone on GAF that has some fucking inside infooooooooz.

 

[cuyahoga]

I find it hard to believe Disney would have gone along with this... at least, the specific images.

I wouldn't have thought they would have released a PG-13-rated Pirates of the Carribean under the Disney label, but they did.

 

[Plywood]

There has to be someone on GAF that has some fucking inside infooooooooz.

Indeed someone needs to drop the gamescoopz.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

I hope it's really not a platformer like that article suggests. Seems a waste for such a potentially beautiful concept.

Would you rather it be an ADV?

Actually, yes. An adventure game in the vein of Heavy Rain/The Dig would actually be a pretty good idea.

You know exactly what I meant

 

[Linkup]

The old Disney cartoons are so awesome. If this game could bring half of the humor, imagination, and feel of those worlds, we'd be in for something epic. The second and last pieces of art are great.

 

[MehsterChief]

The artwork looks awesome. And I thought Warren Spector had lost it when he agreed to do a Disney game. Stupid me.

 

[mujun]

I don't think an early look at a game has impressed me as much as this in at least 5 years. Wow.

 

[Servizio]

What are the chances of getting some credible information about this any time soon?

 

[Doc Holliday]

No way this is real.

 

[TheSonicRetard]

This. This right here.

This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

 

[icecream]

You know exactly what I meant

But in the context of western gaming, why would you think of the JP conventional style? Western ADVs are all about exploration games like Monkey Island or Broken Sword.

I feel a game with emphasis on free exploration and interaction with the world and environment without too many forced gameplay mechanics other than means to advance the story would be an awesome way to present a game like this.

 

[cuyahoga]

There has to be someone on GAF that has some fucking inside infooooooooz.

There's a rumor that he just did this as a test to convince Disney to hand over an IP he really wanted. Pretty sure this art dates back to 2007.

And JP was hiring for a dissimilar sounding project a few months ago.

But I really, really hope this is still in development.

 

[HUELEN10]

No way this is real.

You were saying?

 

[ethelred]

It's probably canceled, which is tragic. That artwork looks incredible. :/

 

[Teknoman]

Damn...thats crazy.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Last I heard, it was cancelled.

I am pretty sure the concept has been pitched more than once in hopes it will make it. I doubt anything has come of it.

 

[blizzardjesus]

My mind has been blown, It's spinning with thoughts of what they have yet to reveal.

 

[cuyahoga]

If this canned or was just a pitch, can we turn this thread into a petition to convince Disney to reverse their decision?

 

[HUELEN10]

Someone needs to draw Horace Horsecollar in this style stat!

 

[sprsk]

That looks awesome.

 

[trinest]

Dude this game would probably sell so well to the older croud who remembers Disney.

 

[cuyahoga]

It seems the common enemies found in this game are called Beetles and Beetleworx.

 

[Firestorm]

What am I looking at
I don't know what I'm looking at
I do like what I'm looking at though

 

[camineet]

Holy FUUUCK.

 

[abombb]

I kind of got creeped out by the style of the images, was not expecting it. Looks awesome though.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

But in the context of western gaming, why would you think of the JP conventional style?

Because I'm talking to you.

Also, Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Aphallatosis]

Return To OZ atmosphere + Mario quality platforming, this better be happening.

 

[Jangaroo]

I sort of laughed at the idea of Warren Spector working with Disney's IPs. I take back my words, the concept art looks amazing.

 

[Fearless.]

I smell kingdom hearts.

 

[HUELEN10]

So how long until we get this project's current status? Whatever it is, it better not be cancelled!

 

[Malfunky]

He's got a tail!

Ah, Goofy. Still happy despite shitting himself.

 

[HUELEN10]

Ah, Goofy. Still happy despite shitting himself.

Damn, can't unsee!
