There's even some really odd stuff to look at -- like a robotic Donald Duck and a video of Mickey Mouse shadowboxing. Looks like we can cross one item off our list of Sentences We Never Would've Imagined Ever Having to Write.

It was a Wii exclusive even before the hype machine. Get over it.

I don't see any difference besides the lighting in "The Three Mickeys" i hope those aren't supposed to be separate characters or suits or whatever

It's probably something that would be more apparent in motion, too.

His shorts, facial expression and bearing is different in each one also.

Only the "Hero" Mickey has yellow gloves, too.

Is the middle picture indicative of a Fallout 3 Disney spin-off? If so, fuck yea.

Ugh...I was so psyched for this game but the art style doesn't look bad.

After seeing the "three Mickeys", I'm less inclined to be excited about this game.

It's kinda like a visual version of Fallout's karma system, it looks like.
If you do good things in the world, you look more like the hero.
I could be wrong, but that's what I read from the article.
"Warren Spector tells us, in regards to the shifting spectrum of play styles that change the appearance of Mickey throughout the game. 'But how you do it, and how you end up looking is up to you. What abilities you have is up to you. Who likes you is up to you. What missions you hear about or not is up to you.' "

IT'S A TRAP!
This is just one of many evil plans that Mickey has to make us wear that stupid purity ring.

I think it looks pretty good, actually. When I first saw the GI pics I was disappointed, but when I read the article and looked at them again I thought they were pretty cool. Not sure why.

As with everyone else, I was totally hyped up by the concept art, but it sounds like Disney was like "ZOMFG GTFO." when they showed them the concept art. At least the kept the robot Donald's etc.

Yeah, this definitely looks like it could be epic, or epic fail.

Wow... this looks awesome! Its not quite as dark as the concept art, but as a whole this does indeed look amazing.
It's probably the coolest way possible to honor the Disney works of old, delving into material long forgotten in a way that's new and unique. I like the art style and how it aims more toward 1930's Mickey, and the way they integrate elements from the parks, cartoons, etc. together is a delight.
Better yet, I saw the GI article and read that the long ignored 'Phantom Blot' is a major antagonist - that's... well... EPIC! As a fan of Disney both old and new, I am wholeheartedly looking forward to this more then anything I've seen in quite some time!

I wonder how well Mickey's new voice actor is after Allwine died a few months ago.

I've been scared of Mickey ever since that one South Park episode.

The fact that these models look far more in keeping with the very earliest Mickey cartoons is what sells it for me. Modern Disney is nothing like the Disney of the olden days, when it was evocative and disturbing and abstract and sexist and racist and all sorts of wonderful things.

I don't think it's so much that old Disney was specifically freaky and intense as it was that it wasn't always wearing shackles, and was less concerned with telling a "kid's story" and more interested in just telling a story. This effectively gave it a license to be freaky when it felt like being freaky, but didn't necessarily mean that everything it did was like that. Newer Disney partially lost sight of that (contrary to popular belief Disney still has done quite a few more "grown up" things in its recent history, just not as much in the animation department).
All that said, I think Pixar is leading the way pretty well back toward stories that mostly focus on entertainment.

It could be rendered in 2D and yet be in a 3D world similar to Paper Mario if they wanted to go that direction.

I know the Wii can render better than this... but this looks pretty true to the old school Mickey Mouse drawings. I like how these models look.

i think the biggest problem this game is gonna have, is the people that will be consistently comparing this to kingdom hearts. As if that's the only type of Disney game that could be made.

This game should have come out a long time ago. With that said, I hope this game turns out to be decent.

Nice concept art, it'll make excellent wallpaper.
Now when are they going to release gameplay screenshots? And if it's too soon for that, then why am I seeing concept art? Normally the development process is long, things get changed so I know the game is not going to look like that.
Examples: Brutal Legend's Eddie Riggs was originally supposed to look like Lemmy. Even Zelda: Ocarina of Time went through drastic changes from the first time it was announced.

This is shit! What was wrong with the old Mickey? I'm 13 okay and there is no excuse saying that the new generation of kids like "violence." THat is a load of crap, my friends. THis will DESTROY ME. Mickey mouse was my idol when i was 6,7,8,9 and when I was 11. Don't ruin this, Walt Disney would never ask for this.
