Concept Artwork For "Epic Mickey" from Warren Spector

[Jericho]

Well, I knew about Epic Mickey from a while back, but I think this is both the first time I've heard about the suicidal Mickey short being an inspiration for the tone of the game... D:

[Girla PurpleHeart]

Oh, don't worry about it. The game hasn't been released yet. Besides, this is just a rumor for now so quit complaining. =P

[Blackhook]

I would rather see KH 3 than this psycho mash up...but who knows how it turns out...

What? The game?

I...am actually interested in the idea their going with. Don't get me wrong sure the images creeped me out a bit and don't seem all that "happy"...but the over all idea and mood of this supposed "game to come" has piqued my interest.

[Strider Xhaiden]

Huh...interesting....


I wonder how many children this will traumatise.....?

Walt died. that's what's wrong with Disney.

Much agreed. They haven't made anything seriously good in years. Very little they make these days is good.

personally, Im saying this is fake. after all, the name of the poster is "Gaming parodies." >_>

[Strider Xhaiden]

Actually, this thing has a Wikipedia page, so.....I'm not saying it's completely legit....YET.

Several other sites have shown the concept art that was leaked in July, so all we know is the game is gonna look freaky as hell. The story being about Mickey killing himself is the rumor.

*judges the weight of traumatizing little kids for life with this stuff vs going to hell for that...*

... tough call >_>

[Flame]

Key word, WIKIPEDIA.
bah, whatever we shall see eventually. I jst cant see Disney letting it happen, as there would be  alot of traumatized children and angry soccer moms.

[Strider Xhaiden]

Pfeh..let the soccer moms rage, they're inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Game's not going to sell.

Don't release it, not because of the content or psychological depth, but because it just AIN'T marketable!

See your beloved Disney characters bastardized and mechanized, horrifically revealing an untold side of the great animation legend Walt Disney!

Doesn't. Work. I'm not sure about this suicidal Mickey short, though. Why would he be the reaper, then? Makes no sense.

That's got to have a market somewhere and you know it.

A niche of about 30,000.

Worldwide.

EDIT: Maybe.

This was retarded the first time I heard it and it still is. And anyone who uses the word "epic" nowadays without being tongue-in-cheek is dumb.

That may be a form he takes after he dies, or something else entirely that just looks like him with his facing rotting. Still, I agree with the point of it not being marketable, even IF the original creator had the idea in the first place.

Everything has a code name that it goes by, and I'm sure Disney isn't THAT stupid to think "Epic Mickey" would sound like a good title...then again, I don't have a clue as to what the hell you COULD call it without it either being misleading or not grasping the idea enough.

Nightmare Fuel Mickey?

[Satoryu]

Merged with the existing topic.

[Pringer X]

Nightmare Fuel Mickey?

How about Nightmare Mouse?

[Blackhook]

You know who is now working for Disney?:

Seeing this I wouldn't doubt it. 

[Pringer X]

More like the love child of the Mad Hatter and the Scarecrow hopped up on lsd.

true, but I do not think that it is going to be what everyone thinks it will. the guy who drew that art, (disney didnt draw them that guy did, their on his website) probably had that idea for epic mickey, maybe he just decided to draw it, who knows, but this is NOT going to sell well, and if anything, will cause a big uproar over misleading chidren into buying a "horror" product based on the fact that it says it has disney charactes on it.
(Becase we all know that A LOT of parents dont check the rating, or even WHAT the game says it contains, but the kid says disney i want! and the mom buys it. then when they pay the price, the company is at fault.)
mm. Tim burton disney is fine, it can work out in the end. but thats just about the limit for "classic" disney characters.

Honestly, who knows if it'd sell well or not, I know that many people would buy it if only out of morbid curiosity to see how they "corrupted" the Disney universe.
