Some great quotes by Spector.

Quote
I think a lot of people missed the boat with Wii. I think a lot of people are enamoured with going 'ooooh look shaders'. They like the idea of doing in real time what Pixar does with pre-rendered CGI. I guess it's kind of natural that everyone always goes for the flashiest, glitziest, biggest hard drive sort of thing. But for me, I don't know - I just look at Mario and Zelda and go to my friends: 'where are the best games?' Being able to focus on gameplay over flashy graphics is kinda nice - almost like the good old days of development. I mean that in an entirely positive way

Quote
The reality is that we started Wii development in 2008, but before that we were a PC, PS3, and 360 title. It's burned in my brain - Graham Hopper [Disney Interactive boss] pulled me into my office one day and said 'What does it take to deliver on the goals we have for this product? And I said, well, you need enough time and enough money to be competitive. And it'd be awfully nice if we could focus on one platform. At that time we were talking about a Wii port and I was begging people - no, we can't just port to the Wii, it's not going to work. It needs to be its own game. A lot of the design ideas just won't work on the Wii, we need to give the Wii its dues. Graham looked at me and said 'What do you think about a Wii exclusive?' And I went 'Holy cow - yeah!

We played with it and I think that it would be a great fit for our core mechanic, but the best I can say is that in the future we'd love to do more with it.

If only more developers, not just Wii developers, had his philosophy in regards to game design.

Not many Wii developers have that philosophy anyway.

Hmm...that bit about the Wii being "gameplay over graphics" (paraphrased) sounds like Specter's drinking the Nintendo Kool-Aid a bit, but we'll see.  I'll take a good game on the Wii however we get it.

Sorry, but he sounds like a Nintendo PR rep and I doubt that's a coincidence.  It's not so much that he's praising gameplay over graphics (which is always fine), but that he's dinging the other consoles as being polar opposites.  I call that "drinking the Kool-Aid", but like I said: let's see if he can back up his words with quality product.

He sounds like a fan of Nintendo's games? So what? Guess what I think Nintendo's top games are the best too. Oh noes. opinions that don't agree with Brood. It is obvious he respects the gameplay style and design of Nintendo's best franchise games and that makes me even more curious and yes excited for this game. Not to mention the fact that this game would NOT do well on the next-generation systems which have a whole different userbase who tend to find games like this childish.

He meant that in an entirely positive way, so there's no problem.

but $60 games and $600 launches does make them oppposites

Well, you know...we've been agreeing so much recently, I thought I'd better change it up once in a while or it would lose all meaning.   ;)

``Mickey Mouse's birthday being announced on the television news as if it were an actual event! I don't give a ****! If I cared about Mickey Mouse's birthday I would have memorized it years ago! And I'd send him a card, 'Dear Mickey, Happy Birthday, Love George'. I don't do that, why, don't give a ****! **** Mickey Mouse! **** him in the ass with a big rubber dick! Then break it off and beat him with it! I hope Mickey dies. I do, I hope he goddamn dies. I hope he gets a hold of some tainted cheese, and dies lonely and forgotten in the bathroom of some bad building in a poor neighborhood, with his hand in Goofy's pants. Mickey Mouse- no wonder no one takes our country seriously, we waste valuable news time informing our citizens of the age of an imaginary rodent!`` -- George Carlin, 1996

We love you, George.

I have over 20 games for my Wii, but honestly I usually wait until Wii games are onsale or available used before I buy them. The interviews with Warren Spector and the screenshots for "Epic Mickey" have me really excited.  It may be the first Wii game that I pre-order.

When did Hades become a "forgotten" Disney character?  He's been in 3 Kingdom Hearts games and his movie wasn't that long ago, yet there's an enemy in one of those screens with his head right on it.

I don't think he is meant to be a 'forgotten character'. Remember this wasteland world is made up of random junk from other Disney worlds. So having random parts of Disney characters past and present, forgotten and beloved, makes sense. Goofy isn't a forgotten character yet mechanical versions of him are in the game too.

One could hope.  I've never understood how Disney's largely just chosen to ignore their 90s TV franchises, releasing crappy bare-bones DVD releases over the span of several years that in the end they never finish.  While we're on that subject, this game needs a major infusion of Gargoyles.  That's a franchise forgotten by Disney if there ever was one.
