Epic Mickey

if you haven't gotten the gameinformer issue featuring it, I highly suggest you do so.

Apparently this game is going to feature a reversed version of "It's A Small World" as music. That's both incredibly creepy and incredibly hilarious.

god, i want to love this game, but i won't be able to unti they release some gameplay. COME ON ALREADY!!!

I don't get it. We see all this awesome steampunk concept art, and then the screenshots come out and it looks like a long-lost N64 game.

And try not to get too hyped. Remember Scribblenauts?

What's striking about backwards "It's a Small World" is how creepy it isn't—it's still recognizable as itself and quite cheerful. If the goal in using the song scored backwards is to create an eerie atmosphere, they might have to tweak it a little more.

Your Mileage May Vary, I found it creepy.

Also, the comments on Youtube say they sound like cryptic messages.

It's not creepy on its own, but for some people it's probably a bizarre perversion of the familiar.

The ending, though, can get creepy.

It just becomes so frantic and...evil.

Nintendo Power's released an article on the game. I Would've read it but I was pressed for time. Anybody catch it?

This game's looking better all the time. Don't know how it'll measure up to the original "Kingdom Hearts" as far as Disney video games go, but I'm certainly more excited for this than I have been with any of the ensuing KH sequels. Though I agree with what someone else has already said: we need gameplay videos!

You know guys. Mabye it looks like a N64 game becaus I dunno. IT'S STILL IN THE ALPHA STAGE?

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Bumping because of this merchandising event. Is it just me, or is Disney starting to soften up the market for the game? Release some happy, cheerful Steampunk Mickey Mouse merchandise in order to pave the road for the Nightmare Fuel Mind Screw Steampunk Mickey Mouse game coming out later on?

Either way, I want a Steampunk Mickey Mouse something.

^^KICK ASS!

Maybe that's what the world's original concept was before the insane corruption began?

I remember a game that was worth the full price for the game just to play around on the Title Screen, if that's what you mean. Are you thinking of a different game?

Scribblenauts promised a lot of depth, but most of the things you could create, you couldn't do anything with. As one critic observed, why allow you to create a dog muzzle if you can't put it on a dog? Epic Mickey is similarly promising epic environmental interaction, and I'm a bit unsure whether it can follow through. Also, having players draw things can work well, but it can also be extremely irritating depending on how finicky the game is at accepting your drawing, and on whether having shaky hands makes it impossible to play properly. (Example: Arx Fatalis, which required exactly 90-degree and 45-degree drawings of its magic runes. 44 degrees? Too bad, draw it again in real-time while a monster eats your face!)

Please have a cameo from JC Denton.

Changing the name and bumping to give this thread exposure again, now that a duplicate has been made.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Anyone got any new information? I'll be tracking this right until launch day.

I'm sure we'll get a nice infodump at E3 next week.
