Warren Spector's Epic Mickey confirmed for Wii

For last three years Warren Spector's (Ultima Underworld, Deus Ex, Thief) Junction Point has been working on secret Disney project. Today chunk of the game's concept art was leaked to the net by Superannuation blog. The project has code-name "Epic Mickey", and by doing some cross-referring, NeoGaf was able to find artist Tony Pullham's CV. Pullham is responsible for the concept art, and his CV confirms that the project is for Wii. Not really surprising considering how Disney tries to widest audience possible.
Quite interesting.

What in the—
I've been watching people flip out on GAF over this, and while the concept art is beautiful, it's important to remember that a lot of concept art is gorgeous and doesn't necessarily mean the game will end up exactly like that. Though that whale/Epcot center one is stunning. I'm still amazed Disney has signed off on something like this.
Let's just hope it actually comes out.
I REALLY want this to come out, but I keep getting the feeling it will end up nothing like the art we've seen. Disney is notorius for being fiercely protective of their image and the way their characters are portrayed.
That zombie Goofy looking thing is terrifying in the image, but I could also see it as kind of sad-looking if put in the right context. Kind of like the whole Destroyed Beauty thing Gears of War goes for, just without all of the meatheads.
EDIT: I want to say "Fragile" too, but I don't know much about the game.
But damn the art is beautiful.
Could you just feck off? Xbox 360 audience has multiple times proven that it has aversion to anything that has either colour or cute characters.
Because a lot of the time I leak like this before a games confirmation means it's been canned.
Which would be terrible.

...color? Cute characters? You can't deny this looks like Marcus Fenix Destroys Disneyland. (Which I would probably preorder.)
EDIT: That said, I hope this doesn't end up a No More Heroes/Madworld kind of situation, where because this is a MATURE GAME FOR MATURE GAMERS on the Wii, the developers feel they have to ratchet up the EXTREEEME to 11. I guarantee Disney will never let that happen, but I fear that's what a lot of gamers are going to expect from this concept art leak.
Spector said two months ago in Gamasutra interview that the project was chugging along nicely. And artist is still at Junction Point.
Can you explain this statement beyond reaching past your sigmoid colon for the stankiest shit you could fling?
I have a 360, and I want this game. No, and you're a jerk.
That's a hilarious name for pretty much anything, but especially this.
From what we know about sales charts, Xbox 360 audience doesn't really care for either JRPGs or platformers. Everything from Tales of Vesperia to Banjo-Kazooie and Katamari Damacy has been badly underperforming.
I like the concept art. Not really getting my hopes on how they'll translate it to a great game, but it piqued my interest for sure.
So has the audience on the Wii.
JRPGs didn't exactly sell millions on the PS2 either. 500K for a JRPG on the 360 is impressive.
But that's neither here nor there.
This?
THIS?
This is shit hot, and not a spike haired plucky young shemale protagonist to be seen.
That said it looks beautiful. I really hope it's still coming along, I am interested like crazy. Robo Zombie Goofy just looks creepy as heck.

Then buy Wii. Xbox 360 owners are always making fun of Wii owners when they complain about games not reaching their platform. When opposite happens, they are suddenly so offended.
You don't already do that? :winky:
But seriously. I want to say bought'd, but really: so bought'd as long as it feels dark.
edit: Also let's not make this about that.
Burton wishes he could come up with an art style like this.
Disney exec: "Thanks for coming Mr. Spector, we're all very excited to see what you've got planned for Epic Mickey. You see, over fifty years ago, Walt Disney had a dream, and that dream was to share happiness with almost all the children of the w-OH Jesus CHRIST! What in the hell have you done to Goofy?!
E...Epcot...no...
please leave."
Spector: "But you haven't even seen Minnie yet
...
she's a mecha-Drider"
Disney Exec: "LEAVE NOW!"
And from what I have heard, Disney is aiming this thing as a "Disney Princess" type brand for boys. Basically Disney is aware that it hasn't been able to make boys interested enough about its characters.
Seriously, this is incredible, if this comes out well, I may get a wii b4 a PS3

You did see Big Fish and The Nightmare Before Christmas right?
This so far looks about as wacked out as some of his concepts have been.

That sounds so, so wrong.
while you're busy making generalities about groups of people (and how much money they have), I'm going to say that it's usually the hardware and extra development time that governs which game reaches what console and note that it's usually much easier to convert one to the other, and leave it at that.

Same goes for other camp too. And let's remember your first post: "Not for bloody Wii". That is both obnoxious and rude.
