its supposedly a darker disney story...epic enough for gaining more fans to disney, perhaps?

what might be a possibility is that this could lead to our "enigmatic" KH3...maybe.

Isn't this from the guy that made Deus Ex?

[XwingsofaresX]

yeah, from what i understand, yes.

looks really good, though.:Dthe artwork for the characters look sick, and the landscape pics are incredible.

[Caelignis]

i like where the mouth is in the 8th pictar :)

[XwingsofaresX]

i like where the mouth is in the 8th pictar :)

just another way of making us laugh, huh? :lol:

what i just found out is that the picture with the paint thinner can has a watermark on the lower left corner. i cant see what it is, but it has 2008 on it. so, im thinking pre-production started last year without any information being released to the public...interesting...

mickey says: this is EXACTLY the shit that happens when disney takes over

but in a creepy hellish doom world 4th stage of the apocalypse robotic zombie kind of way, it's interesting

[XwingsofaresX]

just like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKOwptKaiQM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fthelifestream%2Enet%2Fforums%2Fs howthread%2Ephp%3Ft%3D2513%26page%3D2&feature=player_embedded:lol:

[Caelignis]

^^^ <333333

jokes aside, this is a pretty good find IF it means anything to the KH storyline

[Devegas]

^it probably won't but it does make a person dream :)

[Lord Of Dumbasses]

It will be... epic.

Hope it's an RPG.

[Caelignis]

^^ indeed yes :)

[Devegas]

sora must kill the disney world characters

[Neal]

They did a similar thing with Alice in Wonderland - American McGee's Alice. The designs were creepy, but the game wasn't that good. I'm interested to see where this goes.

[Fenryr]

The artwork is amazing! Loving the feel to it and am intruiged as to how this will pan out.

Other than that, if KH3 dabbled in these kinds of elements I'd be more than thrilled.

[Astraia]

LOL! Cool. ...this looks interesting! Include that in KH3 and it'll be an epic win. :cathryn:

[Shuryn]

If this has anything to do with KH3, then I'm all for it!

Lookin' like some demonic Toy Story... :]

[Renn]

Am I the only one who finds this completely disturbing?

[Dark Chaos]

Wow this is like disney mixed with the corruption from prince of persia.

[XwingsofaresX]

Am I the only one who finds this completely disturbing?

no youre not. i was surprised at first, too, but after a few hours, it looks incredible.;)

[Caelignis]

I like how the castle still stands on that little foothold lol, at least whoever is stuck up there is safe...

EDIT: BTW i see more stairs on the 6th pic, hard to make out but it looks like the stairs spiral down :O

[Emo Panda]

Wow this is like disney mixed with the corruption from prince of persia.

I was thinking Fallout 3 but I respect your opinion as well.

New info. (http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=220427)

Following a batch of concept art said to be from an unannounced Disney game dubbed 'Epic Mickey' comes a few details from a source who wishes to remain anonymous. When don't they?

Details were originally spotted by Superannuation (http://supererogatory.tumblr.com/) who found out that a development and concept artist listed the project - "Epic Mickey" (Wii Video Game) - on his online CV and pointed to some concept art (which you can find on this page) said to be from the game.

CVG has learnt that the game is indeed called Epic Mickey and it's being worked on by ex-Deus Ex man, Warren Spector at his Junction Point studio. But the internet already seems to know that.

We've since been told that it's a Wii-exclusive where you paint your way through levels using the Wii Remote. This 'painting your way' involves you drawing, etching and erasing whole or parts of levels as you go. Capcom's Okami immediately springs to mind but we've not got enough info to go on to make any kind of informed judgement.

As for the story, we've also been told that it'll be based around very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey, presumably because they're jealous of all his fame and fortune. We Googled 'early Disney characters' and found that Oswald the Lucky Rabbit returned a lot of hits. A bit before even CVG's time all that though.

So not much to go on. We've contacted Disney about the extra info but don't really expect any confirmation as the game's still unannounced. But looking at the concept art, we're quietly excited already. There's plenty more guesswork to be found on NeoGaf (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=369603).

I want.

[XwingsofaresX]

thank you for the more information. ^_^ it sounds really good, now.^_^

[Caelignis]

OOOOH ITZ ON TEH WII

wtf... :'(

[Sundance Kid]

'Looney Tunes' (WB) need to do something like this. I love me some Looney Tunes.

That's funny! Kill the face of Disney! Haha!

[Devegas]

some pissed off costars of mickey never got they paychecks and now they're killing and mutating and robofying the later characters to kill mickey. hmm, so i wonder what they did to minnie if they did that shit to goofy and donald

[Caelignis]

^Doesn't look like Donald anymore...:'(

[Devegas]

what will be more horrifying to think of is what they probably did to the princesses. intense cruel and unusual punishment. if they capable of that shit

[Caelignis]

That's a sight to see...


Btw you left a wonderful image in my head...;)

[Devegas]

^^ haha, glad to know ^_^

[Sodedicated]

They're following in this guy's footsteps

[XwingsofaresX]

yeah, i definitely wanna see and hear more of this. if costars of mickey go on strike, itll be funny.

on an unrelated note, Pixar's going really dark, too. http://io9.com/5324303/pixar-artists-illustrate-the-outer-limits-of-sexuality

I hardly think talking or illustrating sex is considered to be "dark" or "really dark." Just because something seems mature or LULGRIMDARK doesn't mean it is so. But maybe it is because I consider sex to be natural and that Pixar is a company ran by adults that I don't have that belief. In fact, I want those books. They sound awesome.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

a Wii-exclusiveQuickly!! To the cellar!

[Yudus]

my hype was just diminished. This will probably end up being really childish considering it is for the Wii. Oh well, maybe next time Mickey you will get a game worthy of your fame.

well, you know what i mean, theyve done kid stuff, from what ive seen.:lol: but yeah, thanks for correcting me.

[S-r-ex]

Hopefully, the Wii will finally get a quality third-party title amongst all the non-Nintendo shit.

But it will be interesting to see more art of this game, a steampunk post-acopalyptic game starring Mickey will certainly be a fascinating thing.

[Falsate]

From the images, looks like it'll be something to play for. A dark game would be something new for disney, as far as I know.

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Yeah, because all Wii games are childish right?

[Yudus]

^ Yes, majority are in my opinion. I think you will find many tend to agree with me.

This looks to be something new for disney, but it will still most likely target kids 6-13 years old.

[Sundance Kid]

I wouldn't really say this is going to be childish at all, I mean not all Wii games are childish. 'The Conduit', 'Madworld', 'House of The Dead: Overkill' 'The Resident Evil Games', 'No More Heroes' , 'Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Warriors' (or whatever).

You never know, yes I will give you that there are alot of Wii games that are childish but that doesn't mean anything in coming to solid conclusions about a game we don't know much about; especially just by concept art.

[Falsate]

Yes, but the Wii is just more of the child directed system to me. I mean a few games that make you look into whether it is childish or not just doesn't have anything going for it. I wll say it is more of a family console compared to the 360 and PS3. It may even just be that its too colorful and when I think colorful I don't see it as "real" but rather cartoonish.

And then from cartoonish, I see childish. I don't know but the Wii has just been for the big kids as opposed to the ps3 and 360 for teens and adults.

[craziiladii]

This would absolutely make any five year old disney fan cry. : D

[Honwa]

^ Lol, totally agreeing to that,

STILL... it looks awesum :o

Out of the entire library of games for the Wii, the ones you just listed are about the only ones that are not childish. Ill agree that I should not automatically assume this game will be childish, but the chances of it being childish are very high.

[Aurelia]

Why are you even using the word "childish?" Yes there are a great number of Wii games that are geared towards children under 10, however, there are also games that are also for adults but not in the "hardcore gamer" sense. I call those games "casual" games.

Its a dark game with disney characters looking like zombie mechs.
You call that childish?

THIS is childish:

[Yudus]

^ these are nothing more than artworks. You cannot get a picture of a game through such little, unimportant things. childish as many different levels. Power Rangers are childish (with bad acting) but teletubbies are more childish than Power Rangers.

So again, the Wii is pretty full of childish games, I hope this one does not get the Wii-germ (happy happy fun family time)

[EcZ284]

Hope this actually comes out; although I see it not coming. Ever.
