On the Wii.gerg said:I think it's quite clear that this project is so unashamedly epic that to put it on any of our filthy current-gen consoles would be a waste. In fact, the game's design is so gloriously mind-blowing that to even consider putting it on a PC would be a sin against the game's true worth. In fact, these designs are far too epic to be a game at all! Rather, they shall be screened onto sky scrapers from the sky in the highest of high-definitions! This will be no game nor movie, but an event. It shall last forty days and forty nights. People shall die! Angels will weep! It will be epic.

This is going to be AWESOME.
Vinci said:That, or the most insane thing Disney has ever directly financed.
HUELEN10 said:Epic Mickey isn't overly dark, or at least I don't see it as dark, it is awesome, with a dash of grim on the side!
Whether or not this project is dark is up to you. Regardless, Disney has done dark in the past, and they can do it again. If this is dark, then I want this kind of dark!
HK-47 said:That would be Fantasia.
It's in development right now.mjc said:So do we know if this has been cancelled or something?
Vinci said:I don't know, man. Give this project time. We've only seen a bit of concept art.
HK-47 said:Do you realize how risky Fantasia was? Howe out there it is? Certain parts are probably more abstract than anything Spector will come up with.
You bring up a good point, art does not always reflect a finished product.DavidDayton said:Perhaps "dark" isn't quite the right term... but, well, that's only one concern... the other one is the weird mishmash of "styles" present. The game appears to be showing the aftermath in the real world, with remnants ofDisney theme parks.smelly swapwater
All I'm saying is that I doubt the artwork, as we see it now, will directly reflect the game. I find it hard to believe we'll see a mixture of "broken down real world" mixed with animation.
If anything, this art seems to point more towards a "feeling" for the game than for any guaranteed game concepts.
We'll see, though... I suppose.
Vinci said:I get that, but it never felt as dark as this does. Perhaps my perspective on Fantasia is different from yours, but it never felt grim to me.
Not with Mickey and Goofy like... those artworks.HUELEN10 said:Regardless, Disney has done dark in the past, and they can do it again. If this is dark, then I want this kind of dark!

YAY ANOTHER OSWLAD FAN! Yes, that is Oswald, and yes they can!SovanJedi said:Is that Oswald the rabbit?! Can they do that?
HK-47 said:Night on Bald Mountain? The T-Rex/Stegosaurus fight? The bubbling magma?
I like it :]Vinci said:Okay, yes. You win. That said, this is still pretty damn creepy.
Yeah, Disney bought the rights to the character a few years ago.SovanJedi said:Is that Oswald the rabbit?! Can they do that?

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23916Graham Hopper [General Manager, Disney Interactve]: Warren's hard at work. He has a team working on a great project. We're going to show it when it's right and ready. We're very encouraged by what we're seeing. I think you'll be very pleasantly surprised. [...]
The project that Warren's working on is something that we've had creative ideas about for a long time before we found the right guy to make it -- which was Warren.
Warren has taken that and changed it a lot along the way and made it better, and we've given him the time to do that. We're into a very, very extensive prototyping and technology phase on the game. Right now he's building levels. To get to that point took a long time. That's why we've been quiet. But that's what the game needs to be successful.

Father_Brain said:Is there any truth to that rumor someone (Shiggy?) posted that this was almost unveiled at Nintendo's E3 conference? I just hope a magazine gets an exclusive on this soon.
That's a weird one. Several people posted that rumor (not Shiggy, though, if I remember correctly), but it was never clear if the rumor was about this title or the next Kingdom Hearts.Father_Brain said:Is there any truth to that rumor someone (Shiggy?) posted that this was almost unveiled at Nintendo's E3 conference?

I took those down pre-emptive out of fear overreaching Disney legal might shut down my whole Photobucket account, but their back up at Tinypic. Enjoy.Father_Brain said:Can someone please repost the rest of the art from Post #109? Hosting it on Photobucket wasn't the best idea, apparently.
jett said:Is this really a Wii-only game?
All the developer CVs only mention Wii and you only see Wii controllers at Junction Point. So yes, it most likely is.jett said:Is this really a Wii-only game?
Yeah, that interview makes me think that we won't be seeing anything official until 2010. Too bad -- I really want to know more.Shiggy said:I didn't post it, but I heard of it. Though I have some severe doubts as JPS was still staffing up earlier this year. I don't think it's fleshed out yet.
Wow, never heard of Oswalt the Rabbit before.HUELEN10 said:YAY ANOTHER OSWLAD FAN! Yes, that is Oswald, and yes they can!
Dark Octave said:Wow, never heard of Oswalt the Rabbit before.
That's awesome. I love hearing about behind the scenes and historic things like this. Kind of makes you think "what if". I'm going to go check out the Wiki on Oswalt now, thanks.SovanJedi said:If you haven't looked a more accurate version of the story up on Wikipedia already... Basically he preceeded Mickey Mouse, and when Walt Disney had to give the rights to Oswald up he made a duplicate character with rounded ears instead of the long ones Oswald had. That character became Mickey.
