Epic M-I-C-K-E-Y

The video that follows was made by me to showcase the concept art and screenshots of Warren Spector and Disney's new game, Epic Mickey.



Think what you will, I’m excited to see how this game turns out. In all fairness, Warren Spector said that a lot of the concept art was designed to cross the line just to see where that line was. He comments, though, that there are twisted elements in the game still—more than we are seeing in the latest screenshots. He says that some of the stranger things from the concept art are left in, but what things he isn’t going to say just yet. So we may not see rotting-Mickey-spider-zombie-bots or lifeless-shellesque-Goofy-mechas but we’ll have to wait and see. I personally think that would just cheapen the game, and most likely make it unsuitable for kids. I hope the hype over this game doesn't die down just because some of these elements are left out, as it still looks like it'll be awesome.
