scary dary…
Yeah, I saw those some time ago, I was expecting it to be more of a PS3/360 title, but I still might buy it. I like the steampunk style
A okami/that game about a blob who colors the landscape?
Hot digery!
looks at pictures
….................I'm scared, for that is epic and weird for a disney title.
This sounds exactly like The Blob, but with vengeful Disney characters instead of tolitarian blobs.
afaik, the guy who's responsible for Deus Ex and Thief series is making this game.
story based on old and forgotten Disney characters that are out for revenge against Mickey
This makes me chuckle in the most deliciously evil manner.
they're just trying to dig up interest in old stuff so we'll want to buy it.
I'm liking the dark direction Disney is heading in with their games. It started with Kingdom Hearts, with it's poetically dark and frightening underlying message, and it looks like they might finally be starting to take that extra step. Bravo.
That actually sounds pretty cool.
I hope it's really good so I no longer feel that the Wii was such a waste of money.
it looks really interesting. i want to know what old disney characters they are talking about.also if those are stages then they are epic looking.i wonder how big this world is gonna be?omg I'm really excited for this.
Horace is about lay down the smackdown.
I found more!

Some other art up, too.

…Did resident evil sneak in?
the art is so crazy i love it. i wanna know more about this but sadly not much is known
"story based on old and forgotten Disney characters that are out for revenge against Mickey"
I will laugh if the boss or w/e is Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
Uncle Remus gets even.

Wait, THAT'S the premise?
Ooh, this is gonna be so awesome.
Hey, any new leads?
I hope this is just a platformer and not some weird enviromentally interactive rip-off of LittleBigPlanet because otherwise this would work quite awkwardly seeing how large these landscapes look…
This games plot seems desprately epic. And I hope they chane their mind and make it multi-platform.
Oh I just noticed from the latest concept art, that with these masses of disney characters and those vehicles landing on shore that this could be either an awesome, legendary first-person Disney war shooter or a strategy game :getlost: and I hate strategy games.
Fingers crossed its a platformer...
Some new pictures…...
wait is that truely what walt disney imagined or did the video poster was just being dramatic

So how about this then there is?
! It's an improved version of Game Informer's Cover. (Bigger, without text. Taken from NeoGAF)

Just saw the pics, and a couple of things:
1.) Do the ghosts around haunted mansion look like the ones from Bald Mountain to you?
2.) Paint thinner=prelude to Dip?
OH DEAR GOD!
If they put 'It's A Small World' in this game that will be the scariest thing ever!
Apart from that it does look brilliaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!

A Night On Bald Mountian is was exatically what I thought…
I've been hearing it'll be Fall 2010 release only for the Wii.
okay! now i'm interested. it looks a lot better since the concept art.
this looks fucking bad ass
This better lives up to its awesome art works.
Hopefully this will have similiar gameplay like Banjo Kazooie, DK64, etc. ( It has been confirmed that it's going to be a platformer )
There hasn't been a game like that since ages … on any platform.
I wonder just how dark this is gonna be. Some of the artwork is pretty frightening. Have you guys seen the robo Goofy and Dumbo pictures?

That's no robot Goofy… IT'S A ZOMBIE. (In all honesty we'll see what it is later.)

okay now that paints a better picture for me.
When I clicked the spoiler tag the No More Heroes theme began on my playlist. It made it epic, even tho I don't know who the fuck Oswald Rabbit is. I was robbed of most early Disney toons and films. Fuck, I haven't even seen Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, or numerous other old Disney films.
I'm not even joking.

Really?
Might need to download or rent those then. As for Oswald, well, you'll have trouble there.
That premise actually got my attention, I hope they deliver, since it sounds interesting :P.
So I guess that is the Phantom Blot, looks like he's been given a massive upgrade.

@Buuhan
Before Mickey Mouse became Mickey Mouse, Oswald Rabbit was pretty much concept art of what would BECOME Mickey Mouse. Had they not changed the original idea and made Oswald into Mickey Mouse, we'd have cartoons of Oswald Rabbit instead.
Also, Sleeping Beauty is fantastic.
@Topic
Do you think they came up with this idea after Kingdom Hearts 2 and its Retro World?
Then he's probably going to be the main villain, which is an awesome idea. Looking forward for more news about this game :P.
I haven't heard about oswald the rabbit in….forever...that's just awesome.

If you go to Disney World (which is funny because I'm going this weekend), they're selling countless dolls of him now.
Disney's doing a good job of looking to their past.
What I'm curious about is what "It's a Small World" will be like in the game.
Speaking of forgotten rides I'm hoping for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to be in the game.
Meh.
Not at the game itself, it looks awesome, at the concept.
If they wanted to truly base it on forgotten characters, the end boss should have been Tar Baby.
Damn this game is going to be creepy as hell.

Who's Tar Baby?
…Oh. I guess I just proved your point.

Unless I'm mistaken, that was the reason the "Song of the South" movie has disappeared off the Disney radar and never spoke of again.
I'm a bit disappointed that the game isn't as dark as I'd thought it'd be (was hoping for a 'forgotten characters fight through the twisted and tainted Disney legacy against corrupted, demonic perversions of the once beloved all-stars' plot) but it still has potential for greatness.
I wonder if they'll throw in 'The Black Cauldron'. That was pretty well forgotten, would fit the mood pretty well.
LC Lapen knows where it's at.
Disney takes their best stuff and buries the hell out of it.
I'll never forget the day I called a video store asking for The Black Cauldron and they were like, "Uh….what?"

That's not completely true. They changed Oswald into Mickey because they had to. Someone else got hold of the rights to Oswald before Disney himself. Or something to that effect, I don't remember how and why though.
I have really high hopes for this game, so I hope it wont become some "okami meets de Blob".
Honestly, I think I'd be a little more interested in this game if it weren't for the fact that its called EPIC MICKEY.
