Time-lapse Epic Mickey drawing shows off Mickey and enemy photo

#Disney #wii

Our interest in Junction Point's Wii-exclusive Epic Mickey has reached a feverish pitch. You see that? That's my ears bleeding from all of the screeching going on around the office over this thing. Relax, people!

I mean, we don't know much about the game, outside of what we've gleaned from the various bits of info floating around on the Internet. The latest issue of Game Informer will have all of the details, though, along with the first images of the actual game (we can only hope).

We've had to settle for leaked concept art and now... well, more art. Above is the end result from a time-lapse video of a Junction Point character artist sketching Mickey and a "potential" enemy that could appear in the game, a robotic Beetleworx.

Because the GameInformer.com video embed doesn't work (I don't know why -- I'm a writer, not an Internet scientist), I went ahead and spoiled it for you with the above image. But I would suggest checking out the full video because the music is totally epic.

No link?

cannedpasta

That game is going to be great

Castro

Here's a link! http://is.gd/4gCKs

DrRockso

Also, that thing has Hades' head. :<

Castro

Whoops! That wasn't so much a link as it was a URL. Here ya go!

Mickey is actually the classic cute design, oh thank god, I was getting worried it would be a disturbing altered version of it.

What I love them of using this design is that it would make the enemies have more charm because they would look cringing strange. Mickey being the contrast is powerful.

Video Cognito

I am seriously so stoked about this game. I just hope that they'll push the Wii's capabilities with the game. I'd rather not have the game be nerfed because of the choice of system.

Modern Robot

From what the description of the game sounds like, it's bits zelda, bits okami, uh, even De Blob elements in the game. I'm so down for this game though.

EpiK KeWLNe55

All that amazing concept art.... wasted on THAT console...

The Silent Protagonist

I'm not worried about the platform particularly given who's heading up this one.

pedrovay2003

@EpiK (Ha, irony...)

You're joking, right? You just decided to troll in here, correct? I'm hoping to God you're not that narrow-minded.

EpiK KeWLNe55

It's not a joke it's a fucking insult, though it's not quite as insulting as the notion that a fucking overlord of videogame development (Spectre) has decided to release what could have been an amazing videogame on the console that gamers despise so all the fucking moronic casuals can lap it up and wonder "Why is Mickey so dark in this :(" then proceed to remove the game from the console and pop Wii Fit back in.

Themightylebeau2009

I need more than art now. Whens the next isue of Game Informer due out?

@Epik Kewlne55 - Jealous much? And its not even a very good or clever insult. Also your elitism isn't welcome here either.

LionheartAce

@EpiK Yeah, cause you're argument isn't getting old. STFUAJPG. I will fully enjoy this game when it comes out, no amount of bitching is going to bring it to your system of choice get over that already.

Yeah you could cry all you want about it but your argument could be countered by saying there's nothing but idiots on 360 anyways - they don't give a rat's ass about Mickey. They just want to shoot anything that moves. PS3 there's more of a broad range there. Either way the reason it isn't coming to those is quite evident. Motion technology is NOT standard on either.

EpiK KeWLNe55

You're probably only going to get art because the gameplay shots will look like a fucking Playstation game

EpiK KeWLNe55

Yeah motion control is going to make this game really good, because that is the sort of thing that motion control does to alot of games as we have seen many times in the past.

Themightylebeau2009

@ Epic - PS3 will probably (once all the FF's are out the way) get a new Kingdom Hearts game, so its not all bad. You need to chill a bit and get over whatever it is thats bugging you. Its not healthy.

Really.

EpiK KeWLNe55

Did you play Kingdom Hearts 2? I did, for around 4 hours or so. For that 4 hours it was some of the worst gaming I have ever experienced. It's a shame because I do remember being very fond of KH1.

Midgetsnowman

@EPIK Kewlne55: odd. I thought KH2 was insanely better myself.

MCChampaignMillionaire

Oh my god...why not 360? Now I have to dust off my Wii after over 1 year...

LionheartAce

@EpiK No, not all motion controlled games are good and the same can be said for all "standard" games. Regardless, I'm done feeding the troll.

I hope my GameInformer comes in already...

Ikey Heyman

that song better be the main theme. amazing.

it's been a long time I've been so hyped for a game that hasn't even shown actual game screens yet.

PEICanada7

"All that amazing concept art.... wasted on THAT console..."

Wow! Its people like you, who are ruining the gaming industry, as a whole. How in the hell can anyone think that Wii is a wasted console for visuals, (just because its not in HD) after gorgeous looking artistic hand-drawn games like Muramasa: The Demon Blade and A Boy & His Blob have just came out recently? Games can look really good on the Wii, so don't make such a stupid blanket statement that the whole console is a waste, because that is just absurd!

ShawnKelfonne

That's pretty awesome, and it really does look like it has Hades' head. James Woods confirmed for Epic Mickey? Hopefully they go with a nice cel-shaded style, though if they even get the quality that Square-Enix did with the models in KH2 it should look fairly good. I always thought those were the best 3D representations of the Disney characters that I'd seen done so far.

urbanyeti

This is now on my radar. Next job, convince my wife that we really need a Wii...

Monodi

Stop thinking only the "casuals" have that system you cuntshits.

EpiK KeWLNe55

Fucking terrible, but true

GEMPadre036

This game is still looking awsome. What a suprise.
Oh yeah, I forgot people can't hear sarcasm over the internet...
But yeah, this game will rock. Also, facepalm at troll-feeding.

EpiK KeWLNe55

It's not hard to detect the sarcasm when someone makes the claim that a Wii game looks awesome. It's like calling Sarah Jessica Parker hot, you don't need to clarify anything, blatant sarcasm.

Ubersuntzu

There are PS1 games that I think still look okay. If you can't find a single Wii game that you think looks alright, you might be a graphics whore.
