    Game Informer has another 5-page feature for Epic Mickey revealing details about the game's artistic side. Those who didn't get the issue dicussed here can get the first glimpse of the game's visuals, but most of it consists of concept art, model renders and animations.

    If that Mickey Mouse design looks odd to you, as it did to me, watch the animation clips. I think they did a good job in capturing the charm of the old cartoons, while also updating the design. I can't wait to see the game in action, I don't think it will top Mario Galaxy but it should be fairly interesting in any case. Read the linked thread for actual game information/discussion as this is just about the art as I already explained.

    Update:
    The animaiton test videos for those who can't see them on the website.

    I am liking what I see.  It's about time a real game developer (other than S-E for Kingdom Hearts) got hold of Disney and did something substantial with it.  Hope my optimism holds.

    Is that how they're honestly going to keep Mickey? Not sure if I'm down with that. Donald, hell yes. That is epic awesome.

    Those animations are amazing if the game animates like that dynamically.

    Animation definitely does the game more justice than the screen stills.

    Super intrigued by the idea.

    No where near as dark as I initially thought it was going to be... Also, not looking like anything too special.

    I'm interested...I wonder if the gameplay will hold up though. At the very least looks like it would have been a good animated film.

    Look how awesome the animation is in slow-mo :-)


    So much character. His ears are actually shifting position it seems, so that the silhouette remains recognisable as Disney wants it.

    They already did that on DuckTales or something. Personally, I want to see Minnie Mouse. Given the dark, dystopian feel, will she be a big-boobed hooker, or some robotic bastardization :P?

    New Game Informer interview with Spector. 6 pages! Wow. The dude seems really really passionate about this material. I didn't expect it at all. Hopefully the product will reflect that. He wants to do a Duck Tales game too. Hah. Did you see this coming from the creator of Deus Ex?

    I got my gameinformer in the mail the other day. It was a good cover, the magazine went through a change and the story about Disney Epic Mickey was cool. I'll always be looking for more information on this game. That's just the way it will be and it seems to be well worked on.
