Concept Artwork For "Epic Mickey" from Warren Spector

[Gaia]

Ah! the gameplay looks and sounds fun.. But then again, what would happen if Bugs Bunny finds out that Oswald's coming back? 

I'm loving this semi-twisted reality. A world run on corruption, no wonder the mirror was never accessable in KH2, or any mention whatsoever. It seems that they are giving Oswald a second chance.

[spoiler=better quality scans for your enjoyment.]

this game is really awesome looking. This an TVC are on my DO WANT! list

now the eerie robo zombie characters makes SO much more sense.

[Black Mage J]

I will get this, it seems so new and fascinating to even look at, plus the paintbrush stuff sounds awesome.

[Pringer X]

So what exactly are the Beetleworx? Are they malgamanations of various Disney characters and bits?

I also kinda regret looking at the scans, but hopefully the game won't disappoint and something big is in the game that isn't being said.

Kick Ass!~

They seem to only have Hades head from what I can tell... they were made by the mad scientist to "fix" the world. you have to erase their exteriors to attack their interiors.

There's a Dumbo one too in the concept art, so I think it's safe to say that they differ from level to level.

[Flame]

well we'll see then I guess...

I think this game is doing a good job of commercially presenting the early concepts of this game. If it stayed true to the concept art, even for fans of the art style, there just wouldn't be much of a buying audience because the focus is solely on the art.

And not the story and gameplay.
Which is what this all adds.
And it's really freakin' awesome.

[Pringer X]

Yeah, I have to say it's certainly not as dark as I expected, but it's still pretty heavy for a Disney game. I was sort of hoping that Oswald was a villain at first, but just wanted a rather meager goal and ended up being used by Phantom Blot who wanted control over everything. Hopefully there's more to it than that, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm thinking there's a good chance of seeing this game sometime in Jan. 2011; just from the screenshots alone it seems like a [parasitic bomb]-ton of stuff was done in between the leak and now, so we can probably expect them to keep working through E3, put up a teaser/trailer for it by then, and then announce the release date past July.

The concept art looked retarded.
Now it just looks boring.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Do you think it will be a GOOD Good/Evil system?

It's Warren Spector. He practically took the whole "morality" thing, and did the damn thing with it in Deus Ex. I'd like to think he'd have what it takes to do something similar here.

An interesting read.



Donald is gonna give me nightmares...

[Protoman Blues]

And give Borock new drawing inspiration! 

[Dr. Wily II]

Now that would be awesome to see...

[Jericho]

The animations are [tornado fang]ing godly. Like really.

[Phi]

I'm really loving the music as well.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm really loving the music as well.

Why yes, that is pretty bad-ass.

[borockman]

And give Borock new drawing inspiration! 

You know me too well!   

I'm really loving the music as well.

Sounds like opening title.

[Waifu]

Good music, creepy Disney characters and most of all, it is a game. Yeah, this is going to be awesome. I had to admit I didn't believe Disney was going to allow this and I thought it was going to be a lttile creepier to be honest but overall the mood of the game is dark and depressing and I hope to play it. Also, I wonder if it is deconstruction of Disney showing the darker side of Disney that you don't normally see or it is just some horror game with Disney characters in it.

It seems less dark than what the leaked art had shown. It seemed like the original Beetleworx were creatures straight from the depths of Hell done by Disney. Now they seem more comical than down-right terrifying.

[Flame]

They had crude peeling flesh. and faces in random areas.
Yeah. they looked creepy. then there was the animatronic pals. they looked like some manner of half robot Zombies. Now, they still do- But we know they're animatronics now.

Quite a nice interview.

Also, the most important part

Also, I want to do a Duck Tales game. Convince the world that a Duck Tales game needs to be made. I can't convince anybody at Disney to let me do a Duck Tales game. How can that be?
