"Epic Mickey" a Steampunk Disney game

[figmentPez]

This looks wild.

"Epic Mickey" @ Kotaku

Rumors say it's a Wii platformer made by Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock, Wing Commander, etc.) made in steampunk style with Disney characters and theme parks.

 

[Gusto]

Hell

fucking

YES

 

[Philosopher B.]

... whoa.

 

[Hylian]

I will be keeping a close eye on this

 

[JONJONAUG]

What in the fuck is this piece of awesome?

 

[Gusto]

Please be everything The Magical Quest was and MORE.

 

[Olorin]

Saw that on gaf yesterday, looks awesome! I hope it won't get canceled.

 

[chakz]

The weird part about this is that it makes perfect sense. I mean you'd figure sticking something like micky in a steam punk setting would...out of place but Micky did, after all, start on a steam boat. Its only fitting that a game about him take place in a steam punk world.

 

[Shawn]

Hmm. This seems a little too "un-disney" to be Disney.
I mean Goofy there looks like a zombie.

 

[chakz]

I was just about to say that the robot goofy kind of creeps me out.

 

[Shawn]

This is the company that went ape-shit over crappily painted Mickey Mouses on daycay center walls.
Lord knows why they would be okay with evil machinery versions of their beloved cash cows.

 

[redapples]

Well Disney have never been scary...

Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty.

 

[tegid]

C'mon, it's not the same...

Zombie Goofy!!!!

 

[Silver Jelly]

OH MY GOD. Check out the old timey characters in the first picture! The robo-dwarf! The amazingly creepyfied castle! The-the-the everything!

 

[rvdleun]

This picture is just so... so... wrong. It's like they stitched various disney characters together against their will.

 

[Bellygrub]

Snow White, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty.

I love going to Disney World and watching the little kids coming off the Snow White ride bawling their eyes out. That is some scary sheeet.

This looks amazing.

 

[sixpackshaker]

Animatronics run amok?

Hello new avatar!

 

NEED. Not want. Fucking NEED.

Seriously, how did Disney agree to this? They didn't even want Goofy or Donald to have sharp objects for weapons in the first Kingdom Hearts! True story.

 

[WolfOfOdin]

NEED. Not want. smurfing NEED.

Seriously, how did Disney agree to this? They didn't even want Goofy or Donald to have sharp objects for weapons in the first Kingdom Hearts! True story.

Remember, Lasseter has a massive amount of pull now with Disney, considering that his Pixar movies continue to pull in HUGE cash and he's also the head of their 'imaigneering' department. I can see him giving them the go-ahead.

 

[kaykordeath]

There's no fucking way this is real. No fucking way it will become an actual playable game recognizable as the same thing seen here.

There's absolutely no way that this will be on the Wii where I would (if it existed) be jumping through flaming rings of flaming fire to get it.

It can't possibly ever exist now or in any potential future.

Nope, won't believe it.

:humph:

 

[Cat]

Very nice.

 

[Singularity.EXE]

Wait. Is that the whale from Pinocchio?

Also, can you imagine what Peter Pan is going to look like?

 

[Shegokigo]

I had always hoped Steampunk would go mainstream.... but not wasted on this.... not like this....

 

[Singularity.EXE]

I had always hoped Steampunk would go mainstream.... but not wasted on this.... not like this....

Maybe this will start to pull Steampunk into the mainstream? And isn't there rumor that the new Blizzard game might be steampunk?

 

[Shegokigo]

A beautiful, yet completely uninformed rumor.

 

[SpecialKO]

I would be skeptical, except that's Warren Spector. System Shock and Deus Ex were unbelievable games.

 

[AshburnerX]

I had always hoped Steampunk would go mainstream.... but not wasted on this.... not like this....

Now now... it could always go the way of Kingdom Hearts and not suck.

Corrected some grammar.

Age of Legends anyone? Shame it sucked so bad.

 

[Shegokigo]

I'm willing to bet you know next to nothing about the Kingdom Hearts series. :humph:

Eh, I've watched a playthrough of one of the 3d ones (whatever the one with sephiroth in it is called, assuming he's only in one of them) and played one (don't know if it's the only one) GBA game.

More than anything I don't like the story concept. And the gameplay. And half the characters.

 

[ScytheRexx]

Wait... did someone just insult Kingdom Hearts?

Excuse me, I have to go find my shotgun.

 

[Shegokigo]

Excuse me, I have to go find my shotgun.

Someone that has "seen someone play but has no first hand experience" just insulted KH. No need for a shotgun, just a gun.

The GBA one is canon afaik :3

Plus I did try the PS2 one (I don't even know how many KH games there are, don't ask me which one this is) for a few minutes, mid-play.

Oh yeah, haet Sora too.
