Epic Mickey

I read the Game Informer article.

While the idea certainly sounds good and the gameplay seems interesting, I must admit I am disappointed that it will be more kiddy than I had hoped, not being as dark or steampunk-esque.

Go to the Kotaku website. There you'll find an article saying Epic Mickey will be adapted into a movie and comic book series.

I know.

This article in GamesRadar does bring my hype up a bit

The 11 things you NEED to know about Epic Mickey
Why the return of the mouse is going to change everything

Disney Interactive's Epic Mickey could turn out to be very serious business indeed. Really, forget any preconceptions you might have of this being just another throwaway cartoon license. With proper gaming legend Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Thief) at the helm, this is a game stuffed with enough ideas and cool concepts to make it an absolute classic.

How do we know? We recently met Spector and had the Epic Mickey demoed at the game's world premiere press conference. Here, in words, pictures and video, is what we found out.

1, The plot is genius
2, The world is what you make it
3, All but three characters come from early Disney history
4, The new characters are very interesting indeed
5, It's Fallout meets Disney
6, It's Deus Ex meets Mickey
7, You don't have even have to fight the bosses
8, There are 2D platforming levels based on specific cartoons
9, The animation is fantastic
10, It's the relaunch of Mickey Mouse
11, It's a student game

.....

Student game?

as pitched by students as a project, and then turn more ambitious

Ohhhh, that makes sense now, thanks.

I wonder what they mean by relaunch of Mickey Mouse.

It's no secret Mickey hasn't been doing well lately (personally.) In fact he's not really been in his own animation in god knows how long, and save for pre-school and KH appearances he's largely vanished from animation.

This is apparently set to reinvigorate the character and bring him back into the spot light and the general conciseness.

Don't have to fight bosses? Then what is the point in even having bosses, by term a boss is a difficult opponent that must be overcome in order to progress or complete a story/segment of a goal.

Also I saw some concept art for the mad doctor's lair, last i saw of him was in that mickey mania game for SNES.

Oh, yeah! I figured sine Mickey has been in Kingdom Hearts lately, but yeah, he hasn't gone solo lately.

As far as optional bosses, I started thinking maybe something like The End in Snake Eater.

And that's what you do.
Fighting is not always the answer, trying to avoid confrontation may prove just as hard as fighting.

Of course is typical (and almost mandatory) for videogames to force Boss Battles in every game.
It's not like you won't have to fight (a) Boss(es) at all, you just have the option to not do so.

The End boss fight is a good example, though that one plays out more for the lulz than anything else, but it is still a way to overcome an adversary, and proceed with the game.

I like that aspect of the game, but as of right now, it's just sounding good on paper, the execution remains to be seen.

Mechanical Donald looks pretty cool, I think.

I just read that, if you wish, you can choose not to assembly him, and instead give it to some villainous dudes that will sell him for scrap

and one way to not fight Bosses is to help then in whatever they're planning

😐

This is so much cooler than Mushroom Kingdom Hearts

So not selling Donald!

To me, this is waaaaaaay too creepy. Why does everything have to be disturbing nowadays?

Which is something I wish was real.
