Game Informer analyzes Epic Mickey screenshots

by Xav de Matos { Oct 28th 2009 at 11:00AM }

In a new feature titled "Anatomy of a Screenshot," Game Informer dissects in-game screens and details the situations found within. The first title to receive the treatment is the recently revealed -- but long rumored -- Epic Mickey, from Warren Spector and Disney. The screen above details the upcoming Wii-exclusive title's heads-up display (HUD), showcasing Mickey's "persona" status, special items and details on the world around the classic Disney hero.

Also, it points out Mickey's "iconic" ears ... you know, in case you missed them.

Do evil and your appearance will change? What is this, Fable?

Doing evil doesn't change your appearance! Okay, maybe my eyes are a LITTLE yellow...but that's it, I swear

Rumors48 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:09AM

im sorry this may be a bit rude but when was the last time you got laid ?

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:10AM

Ask your mother.

Rumors48 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:13AM

thats really imature im 16 and i dont even go onto the mummy cusses lol so i take it your still a virgin then don't worry may be one day you shall lose it "MAYBE"

CheeziePotato @ Oct 28th 2009 11:15AM

The Sith get laid whenever they want to, but I'm so sure about Bradwart.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:15AM

Ah, lovely. 'Sixteen'. Well, your spelling abilities are first-rate...

CheeziePotato @ Oct 28th 2009 11:17AM

Maybe because Bradwart is actually a Jedi.

Filthy Assistant @ Oct 28th 2009 11:17AM

You type like you're 10, Rumors.

Anyway I don't get why they would analyze stupid crap this much. It reminds me of when that teaser trailer for Halo 3 came out and, for some reason, game magazines were picking it apart frame-by-frame as though there were hidden secrets in it. Of course, there weren't.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:20AM

I think it's from a lack of new material. Plus, if it sells magazines...

Filthy Assistant @ Oct 28th 2009 11:20AM

Can't edit comments, but now I see that it's more explaining the HUD. The article made it seem as though they were trying to extrapolate gameplay mechanics from simple screenshots, which wouldn't be an entirely unheard-of phenomenon.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:22AM

Is it just me, or does Rumors sound like he's...I don't know; 14?

Either way, he needs to stop jerking off and use two hands to type. It hurts my eyes to look at his posts.

CheeziePotato @ Oct 28th 2009 11:24AM

Rumors48, who cares if Bradwart got laid or not. You're 16, I don't think you got laid so stop talking about Bradwart. So fucking immature.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:27AM

Also, there are kids on this blog. Keep your vulgar descriptions to a minimum.

Idiot.

Mogster @ Oct 28th 2009 11:30AM

Why did Rumors even start the argument int he first place? What a tool.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:31AM

I wasn't aware this was an argument. More like a conversation with a wall-it just bounces back what I say, with no meaningful contributions.

Good day.

Look At This Suit @ Oct 28th 2009 11:32AM

Rumors, I'm 16 as well.

I'm ashamed.

CheeziePotato @ Oct 28th 2009 11:32AM

@Rumors48
Reported for vulgar comment and spam. Who gives a shit about your Facebook.

Rumors48 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:34AM

more people than you think

mr nimblewick @ Oct 28th 2009 11:34AM

Jotting down "Nathanael Munir" as someone to not hire for a job if ever in the position to do so.

Mogster @ Oct 28th 2009 11:36AM

His surname sounds like manure...

Wince @ Oct 28th 2009 11:36AM

I'm not certain what is going on here, but did that kid just post his facebook page? I think that's tantamount to "let's take this outside," or perhaps more appropriately, "I'll see YOU at recess, dummy-head!"

Filthy Assistant @ Oct 28th 2009 11:37AM

That Sunira chick on facebook is pretty hot, gotta say.

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 28th 2009 11:51AM

Rumors48's dad here...Yeah, his mother is a whore.

She takes it anywhere.

ANYwhere. You know what I mean.

In the butt.

WREturns (Please buy and rate my iPhone game, Shape Tapper!) @ Oct 28th 2009 11:52AM

Maybe Rumors is right about more people than we think caring about his facebbok page. If more than one person cares that exceeds my expectations...

BunnySlapper @ Oct 28th 2009 12:45PM

I predict that's going to be a big ol' wall of blue post Cap. Nicely done.

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 28th 2009 12:51PM

If I can make one Joystiq'r LOL or ROFL, I've done my due diligence for the day. That or save a fucking whale.

rkrocks123 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:11AM

Read: never

rkrocks123 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:11AM

Whoops...

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 28th 2009 11:19AM

When does that magazine comes out? I subscribe to Game informer and they give me the Crackdown 2 magazine.

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:21AM

Epic Mickey was November 2009's issue, but that image wasn't in the Epic Mickey article.

Filthy Assistant @ Oct 28th 2009 11:39AM

I haven't gotten this issue yet, so you probably just haven't either. There's an ad for this issue in the Crackdown one, though. It's funny how it's very obviously Epic Mickey but they act as though it's very enigmatic.

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 28th 2009 11:39AM

...Daddy?

BananaBoat @ Oct 28th 2009 11:51AM

I got my Epic Mickey issue last week. I was looking forward to it based on the concept art, but the in game screenshots completely ruined any enthusiasm I may have had for the project. It's nice that they got an exclusive though (a real one, not Playstation magazine's "Look, we have sketches of the layout of some Modern Warfare 2 maps, with sniper positions marked! What a scoop!" BS exclusive from this months issue).

If November comes around and you still don't have your Epic Mickey issue, I'd write them and ask what the delay is (your magazine may have been lost in the mail).

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Oct 28th 2009 11:54AM

Thanks boaty.

Rumors48 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:23AM

well i have dyslexia/text use so del wit it , blud

Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 28th 2009 11:25AM

Reply fail...

That doesn't look like dyslexia to me.

Rumors48 @ Oct 28th 2009 11:31AM

"reply fail" ur such a nerd go play so stupid mmo or that watch does stupid japense cartoons you guys love

Eh @ Oct 28th 2009 11:57AM

no speaka the english

WREturns (Please buy and rate my iPhone game, Shape Tapper!) @ Oct 28th 2009 12:14PM

Dyslexia? I liked it better when it was called "too stupid to read".

Captain Planet [Planeteer | Power of Captain Planet] @ Oct 28th 2009 12:59PM

Hey Rumor, have you heard of this new medical treatment that cures Dyslexia?

It's called, Shut Your Fucking Mouth You Little Rat Fuck Son of a Bitch™.

Give it a shot.

CubeGuy @ Oct 28th 2009 11:27AM

The ears are actually pretty interesting. In KH, his years were rendered in 3D. Here, they appear like they do in the cartoons. They always face the camera.

Mr Khan @ Oct 28th 2009 1:23PM

Deliberate use of more archaic graphical techniques. Fascinating...

Shadowbender (Nelson Is Behind You) @ Oct 28th 2009 11:30AM

This better be as epic as Mickey was in Kingdom Hearts.

Speaking of which, where in the world is the third KH?

Dreganfyre @ Oct 28th 2009 11:35AM

"when was the last time you got laid ?"

"thats really imature"

Does not compute. O_O

Also: reported.

Dreganfyre @ Oct 28th 2009 12:01PM

... oops. Bad reply.

mr nimblewick @ Oct 28th 2009 11:48AM

I'm slightly pumped for this game. It would be the first mickey game I've bought since World of Illusion.

LordChimp @ Oct 28th 2009 12:03PM

I think Castle of Illusion was better

Nathan-DTS [He is your father] @ Oct 28th 2009 12:28PM

Oswald was like 10x cooler than Mickey. He was always trying to get laid and now apoarently he has many freaky children.

emperorzeroxx @ Oct 28th 2009 1:28PM

The game looks pretty epic, reminds me of kingdom hearts....except playing mickey

TrojanGuy @ Oct 28th 2009 12:56PM

Dang, that's pretty disappointing. Looks nothing like the concept art.
