I mean, at least they used Mickey's original design (Steamboat Willie look) instead of... whatever they use now. >.> It looks promising to me, even if it doesn't look like the artwork. |

I just thought of something. Maybe, if they have levels with a time limit, Mickey's name could slowly change to Mortimer, Disney's original name choice, and then you'd have to start over. |

Yeah. I know I have to start over whenever I get my name changed. It sucks. I totally saw this coming so it's really no surprise to me. It's Disney, did any of you actually expect to see a dark and adult looking game? It's Disney. I highly doubt they'd ever target an audience over the age of 10. |

I love how people see concept art and think it's amazing, then see some low-resolution screens and suddenly think it's the worst piece of shit in existance. At least wait for some video of the game in motion before suddenly dismissing it as another Disney mistake. |

You're completely missing the point, though. We were being promised a super grimdark, screwed up world with a melting Oswald the Rabbit who was hell bent on destroying Mickey Mouse and everything he loved. A world where all of Disney's old and forgotten creations were rotting and growing morbid and hellish. Not some poorly designed Mickey Mouse running around painting things in a blacklit Fantasia world. We're upset because we were deceived and misled. |

B/W Mickey is battling some sort of Mecha, which does fall in line some of the sketches.

We were promised a redesign of Mickey and we did get one. Where were we let down again? |

Despite all the complaints Wooster's kinda right they've given everything they promised us. That said maybe all the things others are hoping for like zombie Goofy and Steampunk Monstro will be present just not in any of the screenshot's we've been presented with. They aren't gonna give away all their secrets.

I take back my previous statement. Really though the earlier screenshots just made the game look bad, but the official concept art has raised my hopes up agian. Anyway the background music for the video had a good cross between dark and lighthearted that made gave it a good atmosphere. |

It wasn't some random twelve year old or 4channer (what's the difference? LULZ! ) who magically pulled it out of thin air. Someone related to the project released the images with the intention of building hype (or some sort of petty net fame in favour of his job. Probably not though, since we never received a name). The concept art has proven to be no where near the product we're getting.Timing isn't an issue, either. The concept art could have been released a month after the game came out and we'd still be let down. The idea behind Epic Mickey and the game we're getting are obviously two different identities, and the latter looks like bullspit. |

Bendilin, the point of Concept art is that it's Concept art. Have you seen the Concept Art for Factor 5's Kid Icarus game? Each piece of artwork, while professionally done, often had little to do with how things were drawn in the next piece. Pit with Different Toga Designs, different hair, different builds, Bow-Like Bows, Sword-like bows. Concept art is used by production teams as a sign post to what they should be doing, or even not be doing. I mean, for gosh sakes, look at Beta-Phoenix. At this same stage of development, you'd be screaming because Master-Phoenix doesn't have green hair and an oversized bow. And regards to it being an official source, even being viral marketing, the only claims on the source were that these were concept art work pieces he did for that project, there was nothing that said it would be used. You're basing your argument on claims that were never made, and based on evidence that doesn't support anything. How does the 8 or so screenshots disprove the game's concept? |

Because people complain when the final product is a vast improvement over the concept ideas they were shown.  That, and you're arguing no one is allowed to be disappointed by intentionally created self hype/viral marketing. |

My argument is that there's nothing revealed in the screenshots that totally turns the revealed plot and sketches upside down. My argument is I don't see how the screenshots totally and spontaneously change the mindset. |

So far, the game looks like Graffiti Kingdom, a far cry from what we assumed. The characters and enemies that we've seen besides Mickey look immensely toned down in terms of maturity from the concept art. People were excited about the game's concept, and so far the product we're getting is no where near it. It was stupid for us to believe Disney would allow the game to be even half as dark or as deep as we assumed. |

Bendilin wrote: It was stupid for us to believe Disney would allow the game to be even half as dark or as deep as we assumed. I'm sorry to say it, but you're absolutely right. If you really believed that Disney would let their characters (or at least, Mickey himself) be deconstructed into steampunk/gothness, it's your own fault for being disappointed now. It's just not the Disney way! I'm sure plenty of people would be thrilled with such a direction, but you still have to consider Disney's position: releasing a Mickey game on the Wii comes with a set of expectations, and "Family Friendly" is one of them. Kingdom Hearts is about as far as they're willing to go in the direction of "hip" I guess! |

Wow, animatronic Donald. Well it looks like they were able to pull off some of the goals for the concept art (even though Donald wasn't in the concept art, the animatronic Donald is pretty dark though.) Plus it looks like the game is still in very early development, so the graphics will probably improve (not saying that bad graphics are a sign that a game is bad, but in some cases with liscenced games, bad graphics are the first sign that a game is worthless). I hope the liscenced game curse doesn't ruin this game. |
