As good as Mario Galaxy? I highly doubt it, but it does have quality to it. Color me interested.

I still wish they went with a storyline mroe like the one I posted earlier.

Don't ignore the "almost" qualifier.

Looks good to me. It's obvious from the scans it looks way better in motion.

It looks pretty awesome to me. The screens are small and the focus of each is obviously on Mickey who looks pretty cool with his new look.
The picture where he looks right at the camera is freaking me out though.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #230 on:** October 16, 2009, 02:22:46 AM »

I really am anticipating this game big time. What we have to remember about the screens is that the game is about a year away so it is a bit unfair to judge it based upon 5 small screens with a focus on mickey.

Not quite where I expected it to be, but I still like it. Gives me a Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie vibe. Almost if Banjo was done by the Mario Galaxy team.

I can't wait to see it in motion.

I don't want collect-a-thons. >:/

I meant with the graphics.

Peachylala · « **Reply #234 on:** October 16, 2009, 06:22:49 PM »

I don't mind that.

Looking like Psychonauts is a good thing IMO, the setting and ideas in that game were great. Where Psychonauts failed was the gameplay department, especially with the level designs towards the end and Warren Spector is famous for his gameplay.

I hope the game gets a big budget, is a quality title (I really think it will be close to AAA material when it is released), and actually SELLS.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #237 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:20:12 AM »

I'm sure this game has the budget it needs and with Warren Spector putting his all into it with free reign of conceptual design (within the limits of Disney IP & Image Protection), I'm sure it will be(and already is) a AAA game.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #238 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:22:01 AM »

This is one game I really think could benefit Nintendo to help promote. It has potential to be massive.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #239 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:28:42 AM »

I hope they not only help promote, but get in on the technical design, level design & programming side of things too. Let Spector get some down to the metal coding going on, and make this one of the most visually stunning and and technically advanced games to grace the Wii before the Wii hits it's final stretch.

Stratos · « **Reply #240 on:** October 17, 2009, 04:31:34 AM »

The best part is the IP alone guarantees this game will sell well. Mickey + Wii = Good seller, yes?

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #241 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:03:40 PM »

I believe in Warren Spector, even if he failed me with Deus Ex: Invisible War.

AFAIK the failures of IW were actually the cases where the rest of the dev team overruled Spector.

mantidor · « **Reply #243 on:** October 17, 2009, 03:58:57 PM »

I just wanted to pass by and say that I'm excited for this game, but the looks so far are underwhelming. I thought stylized graphics would be enough for the not-so-cutting-edge graphics of the wii, but I guess that is not enough. Maybe is the colors, adding black to pastels doesn't make the happy world of Disney to go "dark" or "twisted", just painful to the eyes.

Still, the gameplay seems awesome and Spector is not exactly a bad developer. Let's hope things go well with the game.

And I forgot, the soundtrack so far is also amazing.

You know, I hear fans of the original Deus Ex constantly say that, but I played Invisible War a while back and found it pretty ok. I guess it's the same sort of snobbery that has fans of System Shock "disappointed" with Bioshock.

I don't think anyone said anything about being needed.

I don't need a shopping cart everytime I go grocery shopping, but it sure helps make my shopping experience as easy and pleasurable as possible.

Invincible Donkey Kong · « **Reply #247 on:** October 17, 2009, 09:22:31 PM »

That shopping cart is called "Disney" and "Mickey" and "being on Wii."

No point in spending any extra on a game that is already destined for success.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #248 on:** October 17, 2009, 09:57:53 PM »

If Nintendo's involvement can take the game from just "great" to a "system selling must-have", then the extra spent is more than worth it. especially if that locks it up for exclusive and dibs on future sequels. Just imagine the cross promotion at the Disney Theme Parks and marketing push on Disney owned networks (Disney Channels, ABC, ESPN).

You know, I'd like to think that and it's probably true. I wonder, though, if Mickey's popularity hasn't waned to the point where he could use a little extra boost. For instance, I remember Mickey's Philarmagic at Disney World, which is actually a 3D movie that revolves entirely around Donald with the Mouse only making a brief cameo at the end. Same thing at Disneyland Paris with the stage show Animagic (I'm too lazy to spell it the correct French way right now), which is also a stage show dedicated entirely to Donald with Mickey only making a brief appearance to bookend the show. I also can't remember the last time Mickey was featured prominently in a non-Direct to Video animation project. In any case, it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing for Nintendo to step in and make sure that such a potentially huge project got a little assistance for the sake of the greater good overall.
