Epic Mickey: a new video game starring Mickey Mouse...as you've never seen him before

Well, the villain of the game is none other than Oswald, Walt’s first creation before Mickey. So expect the final boss battle to be Mickey Vs. Oswald.

ONE image?

so am I but I try to keep a low profile

Blood Fantasia? Please tell me this is already the title of a metal band album.

Looks like Disney is trying to get it’s grown man on.

Shit just got personal.

Haha, nice plot. My interest in the game has gone up, though I don’t have a Wii…

shit sounds like a set up for an action movie. i like it

Indeed it has. The gameplay description makes it sound like a puzzle/platformer mix which is pretty interesting. Curious on how Mickey’s going to look like (if anything, I’d expect a little more warped version of his Steamboat Willie era look).

I’m hoping for Okami caliber visuals in the restoration of worlds.

Good for Phantom Blot that he’s one of the main bad guys. He is an original villain created for the Mickey Mouse comic strip by Floyd Gottfredson (the Mickey Mouse Carl Barks equivalent - Carl Barks is responsible for 90% of what you saw on Duck Tales, that show was based on his Uncle Scrooge comics). They continue to use Phantom Blot in Mickey Mouse comics today. Phantom was featured once on Duck Tales and a few times on House of Mouse. In the comics he is a person wearing a mask (said to look like Walt Disney) but it seems like this game will depict him as an actual ink stain. Pretty cool!

Looks interesting at least. Awaiting to hear more details.

Very novel concept and theme, this might be worthy of a purchase.

Get some cult status Disney films into this and you got yourself a good game. More of the fucked up Disney villains would be a nice bonus.

Oh snaps you reminded me of the villain from Rescuers down under :evil:

oh so that’s what this is. I thought GI was hinting at KH3

Have you guys read the article in GI yet? I think Warren’s got some pretty good ideas for this game and I’m definitely interested to see this thing in action.

Anatomy of a Screenshot

I’m impressed.

It’s because of the internet that I’ve started hating the use of the word epic.

Some of those amalgamated monsters SCARE THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF ME.

THAT CHIMERA WITH DONALD AND GOOFY’S FACES IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING I’VE EVER SEEN.

That shit’s Lovecraftian. And not the bullshit Lovecraft monsters, either, but THE REAL FUCKING DEAL.

Jesus fuck.

Dr. B’s scared too. Cosmically powered though he may be, he’s only human.

“Epic Mickey is a tale about the ‘forgotten’ Disney stars:** the rides**, the characters, the lesser-known cartoons. When nobody any longer cares, they are cast into a dark void; a forgotten world of broken machines and bitter personalities - a bit like Sid’s bedroom in Toy Story, but without the friendly furnishings.”

Mr Toads Wild Ride better make a goddamn cameo in this game.
