God how long has he been working on this?

The last game that was 100% Warren's was on the same grade of hardware so I guess little has changed

2001 PC = Gamecube = Wii
Deus Ex was 2000.

I remember playing that at release and not quite having enough memory to really allow for a smooth experience at all times. Whenever an explosion would trigger the game would seize up for a second before returning to normal. I always used to think "man, those explosions must be so awesome", but when I played the game a couple years later on a faster machine, I was disappointed to find that, no, they were not actually awesome. I'm so glad stuttering is nearly a thing of the past. The last game I remember really suffering from it was the original 2004 release of Half-Life 2 on PCs of that day and age.

The stuttering might as well be a thing of the past because the last taxing PC game was Crysis back in 2007.

Shame it's still not possible to enjoy Crysis at 1080p/60fps/DX10/Very High. :\

Making Oswald the villian is just proof of Spector's brilliance.

Oswald's not actually the real villain, apparently. The Phantom Blot took over the world of forgotten Disney characters after Mickey accidentally ruined it, and Oswald is in exile and seemingly hates Mickey for destroying his world and having the glamorous life that Oswald was deprived of. So he and his wife are trying to survive in this "Wasteland" and Oswald has gone kinda insane, trying to recreate Mickey's life for himself with Oswald-themed stuff and robotic versions of Mickey's friends to be his own.

awesome, this is the dark and mature disney title I've been clamoring for in my parent's basement throughout my 20s.

There'll be hell to pay if Kingdom Hearts is on the Wii, but seeing how assy it is on the DS, but nice on the PSP, I'm not too worried.
<3 Kingdom Hearts, even if the first one was a bit clunky.

Well, there you said it - half
So you don't care how the other half looks? I want a KH3 on HD consoles because I want the best experience possible. Better graphics, better sound, better animation, better controls, etc.. better everything.

Wii controls have proven to be shitty and non-relevant. So no Wii version please.

Eh, depends on the game. KH's were a little too game-breaking, but it was still really fun if you threw it in with your combos. I just play the games for the combat and synthesis.

So

Quote

Epic Mickey was originally for 360/PS3

Spector told ONM: "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!'"

God damn it. So that's what the concept art was for then.

Wiki puts the release date at october actually.

I highly doubt that Warren Specter would have gotten excited over wii exclusivity if he wasn't going to deliver anything that looked like the concept art.

I mean, this screen looks good to me. Like any game that goes toon-shaded, the game can look great in motion but when you try to look at close up screens of the character models, it looks like butthole. yup.

I just made the comparison because some of the texture work looks exactly the same.

Although I can agree with duckman2000 that it looks like a sub HD port of Banjo Kazooie XBLA.

the mickey animation looks awesome, hopefully that fluidity carries throughout the whole game. my disappointment lies with the awesome scale and dark steampunk artwork we saw when it was teased, versus the pretty small platforming elements we've seen so far. hopefully there's a lot behind closed doors we're missing. the wii could run an awesome game, GoW2 and shadow of the collossus had an amazing sense of scale despite running on archaic hardware.
