I can't find anything that suggests that Microsoft is publishing this game.

I will say, even it if is... I'm glad their getting it out of the way before the conference lol

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Have you actually watched the trailer? It's Kinect based...

That post came before the trailer was unveiled.

 

[colinp]

So far only five songs are confirmed: Avicii's "Levels", Bruno Mars' "Locked out of Heaven", Fun's "Some Nights", Kimbra's "Settle Down", and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Not exactly the type of music that brings back memories of possessed broomsticks and baby Pegasus'. When asked why the heavy slant on contemporary songs, Sussman asserts that, "People think about [Fantasia] as a classical music based film, but that's because classical was largely the contemporary music of the 1940s. Rock wouldn't be invented for another 10 years, and while there was other contemporary stuff like jazz, which did make into the film, it was largely what was contemporary of the time."

Ahahahaha.

Ahahahahahahaha.

Ahahahaha.

Ok, I'm better now... Nope, ahahahahaha.

 

[shola]

this is great, get these out before e3 press confrence

 

[lostones]

So gaf community are u excited for this xboxone exclusive? I love the casual games but this is not a system seller for me. E3 will help me justify my purchase hopefully

it's not a xbox one exclusive , it's on xbox 360

If they are, what makes you think there won't be a segment in the conference with people playing it live?

 

[Sydle]

I love Fantasia and I love Harmonix. This will probably be really good.

EDIT: Just watched the trailer. I will buy this.

 

[halfbeast]

holy shit! O__O

xbone presser will be FANTASTIC (see what I did there) this year!

think of all the gifs...

:B

 

[macewank]

14 more exclusives and 7 more IP's to find a reason to buy a xbone....

 

[fiyah]

1 down 14 to go

 

[oVerde]

Are people counting down the 15 exclusives serious? I hope not.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Am I the only one who thinks Mickey should be handing over a wad of cash?

But seriously, this game could be good. Guitar Hero and Rock Band are awesome, and I've heard good things about Frequency, Amplitude, and Dance Central. I just have no interest in this product as it is.

 

[daebo]

14 more exclusives and 7 more IP's to find a reason to buy a xbone....

Uhm, it's not XB1 exclusive? Don't worry, I'm sure there will be other games to mock.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

That looks like Dance Central, not Fantasia.

Yes! Where's the classical music! How is this "Fantasia"!! Why would you degrade a classic like this, Disney?!

 

[PG2G]

If they are, what makes you think there won't be a segment in the conference with people playing it live?

Haha, god I hope not.

 

[Famassu]

Where in the text of Disney Fantasia does it says "Has to be interpreted as a dark game for hardcore male gamers otherwise can not be associated with the movie"

As someone said: The movie is with classical music that is created by Mickey waving his hand around.

So taking the same concept with modern music is not "Misusing the brand" - it is.....wait for it......Evolving the concept.......aka Music Evolved.

Fantasia is synonymous with classical music, not the genre of the minute (dubstep) or shit that will be forgotten a year from now.

It has nothing to do with aiming for hardcore male gamers (as if they listen to classical music).

 

[shola]

14 more exclusives and 7 more IP's to find a reason to buy a xbone....

this was not one if you bothered to read the thread

 

[JudgeB]

Whether it's one of the 15 is totally not clear.

To be fair, I'm yet to see any Microsoft rep say they're all Microsoft published. On the stage Phil Spencer said 15 exclusives.

Nothing specific. I suspect this AAA development counts.

If not, it's weird they didn't say 16 exclusives. If you see what I'm saying. Lots of people are going to discount all the Kinect games they see, becuase they don't want them.

One of the most important figures mentioned on stage during the press event was that Microsoft Game Studios will be releasing fifteen exclusive first-party games for Xbox One during its first year on sale, and eight of those will be brand new properties, not sequels. This is a huge number of internally-developed exclusives, considering the original Xbox and 360 had around half a dozen each in the same period.

"Yes, fifteen is a high number, and it's an aggressive and ambitious one," Davidson said. "I think it's a huge testament to the faith that Microsoft has in this platform. And that's not even counting third party! You'll hear about new third party games at E3, so that's going to be exciting too.

[BruceLeeRoy]

This might sound crazy but this is a honest MEGATON to me. I cherish Fantasia and the idea of a Project Eden esque merge between harmonix and Disney is giving me butterfly's

 

[Stone Ocean]

I think the chance of this being a bad game is zero. Dance Central was pretty much the only Kinect game I ever enjoyed, and this will probably be just as good.

But alas, that's not the issue here.

Haha, god I hope not.

But think of the gifs!

 

[VeeP]

14 more exclusives and 7 more IP's to find a reason to buy a xbone....

I don't believe Microsoft is publishing this game, and its not exclusive to Xbox One.

 

[JudgeB]

Are people counting down the 15 exclusives serious? I hope not.

The sad part is, yes, a majority of them probably are serious.

 

[Officerrob]

This might sound crazy but this is a honest MEGATON to me. I cherish Fantasia and the idea of a Project Eden esque merge between harmonix and Disney is giving me butterfly's

The music selection kills it

 

[TheSpoiler]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this.

Dubstep.

So, cry is the option I select.

 

[borghe]

This interests me greatly... may actually replace my busted 360 with a kinect version if this turns out to be good.

Have great faith in Harmonix and love the property.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

As someone said: The movie is with classical music that is created by Mickey waving his hand around.

No, the music in the movie is created by a live orchestra and conductor that were filmed and spotlighted.

 

[HaRyu]

As someone said: The movie is with classical music that is created by Mickey waving his hand around.

I see someone hasn't actually WATCHED the movie.

 

[Mets39]

This might sound crazy but this is a honest MEGATON to me. I cherish Fantasia and the idea of a Project Eden esque merge between harmonix and Disney is giving me butterfly's

Just watch the trailer

 

[halfbeast]

yeah, but have you seen the video? it's a dubstep/karaoke-hits waggle game. I would've been excited if it were a mad maestro clone with ACTUAL conducting. but nah, let's have another gangnam/skrillex compilation disc.

 

[MThanded]

Avicii? Avicii

1 million more Levels remixes incoming.

Also I need to see it in action. I like Fantasia but not like this.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Kind of dissapointed after watching the trailer. I was really hoping for a take on classic Fantasia.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

If they are, what makes you think there won't be a segment in the conference with people playing it live?

Because they announced it ahead of time, that's why.

 

[Valnen]

So this is one of the exclusives Microsoft paid a billion dollars for? Okay then.

 

[Lach]

That's not what I want from a game based on Disney's Fantasia...

 

[HaRyu]

Kind of dissapointed after watching the trailer. I was really hoping for a take on classic Fantasia.

That's really the whole point with all our rage, honestly. If they had given it another name, like "Wave Your Hands Around Until The Music Stops And Take A Bow", then we probably wouldn't be pissed about this.

 

[ChryZ]

I'm not metrosexual enough for this game, but that's okay.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I just watched the trailer. I completely don't get it. Does Fantasia mean something different now? It's not a game about controlling an army of brooms? Or demons? To music? Would that not be cool?

 

[BennBeckman]

harmonix, how far you have fallen...

 

[phosphor112]

EDIT: I stand corrected.

Looks pretty though...

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

1 new IP down. Kinect game. I hope this trend doesn't stay.

So this is one of the exclusives Microsoft paid a billion dollars for? Okay then.

If you read the thread, or even just the page you're posting on, it would help you avoid making uninformed comments like these. Just a thought.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

So this is one of the exclusives Microsoft paid a billion dollars for? Okay then.

No, it's a game that Disney spent thousands of dollars to fund.

 

[pelican]

The trailer is tragic.

Yet more Kinect nonsense. Harmonix are clearly running out of ideas.

 

[JudgeB]

So this is one of the exclusives Microsoft paid a billion dollars for? Okay then.

Is it honestly that hard for people to scroll up a little bit before they post?

 

[GuitarAtomik]

That's really the whole point with all our rage, honestly. If they had given it another name, like "Wave Your Hands Around Until The Music Stops And Take A Bow", then we probably wouldn't be pissed about this.

Yeah. I mean it will still probably be a great game and I will still probably get it, but how much cooler would a classic Fantasia game be? I don't know. Maybe we'll get it as DLC at some point.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

As someone said: The movie is with classical music that is created by Mickey waving his hand around.

Mickey only appears in The Sorcerer's Apprentice segment, which that imagery is from. The same film also had this, this, and this as segments.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

Ahahahaha.

Ahahahahahahaha.

Ahahahaha.

Ok, I'm better now... Nope, ahahahahaha.

No, this is actually pretty accurate.

Classical music was also the contemporary music of the day back in 1999 when Fantasia 2000 was released.

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

I just watched the trailer. I completely don't get it. Does Fantasia mean something different now? It's not a game about controlling an army of brooms? Or demons? To music? Would that not be cool?

The key phrase is "Inspired by Disney's Fantasia", i missed it at first. They've just bolted the Fantasia brand onto a music conductor game from the looks of it and added some sparkles.

 

[Palm]

The trailer is tragic.

Yet more Kinect nonsense. Harmonix are clearly running out of ideas.

No......

Harmonix is clearly trying to earn more money.

The production cost of a game like Dance Central is just a small portion of a classical Hardcore AAA game is.

And based on how many copies Dance Central has sold you can bet that it is one of the more profitable game series from last generation.

So it is not running out of ideas, it is simple good business.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Oh

If this was inspired by Fantasia then they are being way too creative.
