Death Mickey looks AWESOME.
I will definitely be watching this one. 
Actually a lot of this artwork has been around for months as well as rumours of what they were. :rolleyes: I feel so welcomed.
Sorry man, I didn’t mean it as a slight. I just meant that it wasn’t a coincidence that your handle relates to the story. Nothing against you at all, as I think it’s a rad name.
Oh, and welcome! 
When that first got announced I called up an old metalhead friend from high school to make sure he wasn’t dying. It sounded like his “Make-a-Wish kid” wish and I got worried.
It’s okay, I understand. Mistaking sarcasm or rudeness on the internet is fairly easy to do, and I fell into that trap.
It’s one of those names I’ve used for years as a handle but have at the same time kept it mostly off the net. Lurking here for 6+ years only having only ever made 1 or 2 posts in the past using other screennames, I finally decided to make an account and choose a name I’d use over the years.
Well, that’s par for the course around here. People will say things you will find offensive. They almost never mean it to be offensive. It’s pretty much a universal concept.
I’m a Christian fundamentalist who is basically pro-life and a moderate conservative. If I can be around here without being offended, anyone can.
Any current news on this?
They showed a bunch of stuff at the E3 conference last month. There is lots of coverage on many game sites, such as IGN.
WHAT I GET TO HAVE DARK DISNEY WITHOUT HAVING TO PUT UP WITH THIS?!
I love classic Nintendo and Disney.
I mostly hate everything “Wii” and what Nintendo has chosen to represent. And Disney has been a bit meh for a while.
So it’s a bit of a shock for me - Epic Mickey looks fucking epic. The aesthetic value is through the roof.
Let’s not misunderstand things - this has nothing to do with being “edgy” or “modern”.
EM looks to be a proper Disney treatment of dark. Dark like kid’s fairy tales used to be. Dark like the witch in Sleeping Beauty. Dark like Monstro. Dark like Belle first visiting the castle in Beauty and the Beast.
That it uses classic discarded Disney characters only makes it more cool.
I hate nearly everything about the Wii, but I’ll be watching this one.
The gameplay reminds me of Banjo Kazooie, actually. Not in a complete ripoff sort of way, obviously, but it’s definitely the first comparison that pops to mind from the limited gameplay previews and the descriptions from E3.
People are still psyched for this? I dunno. I’ve been…following is too strong a word, but brushing up against the news about this onefrom time to time, and it doesn’t look good to me. They cut the “scrapper” (mischievous) Mickey after people didn’t like him in focus groups, and the art style in the screenshots has been bright and shiny and not-at-all-like-the-concept-art, so I’m not all that optimistic that it’s going to satisfy the people who fell it love with the idea initially.
Dunno. It could still turn out to be good, but even the preview I read was basically a fanboy saying “I really really want to love this game so I’m going to give it the benefit of the doubt since it’s not done yet.” followed by a lot of really unremarkable stuff. I’m sure it’ll be a pretty decent game, but I don’t think it’s going to be the really cool experience lots of people seem to have decided it will be.
