God, I can't wait for everyone to bust nuts about Epic Mickey saying it's DESPITE the game being based on a children-centric IP when, in fact, these same tools liked the game BECAUSE it was based on a children-centric IP. Harry Potter, in video game form.

Fuck this game. Can't Spector make games for adults?

According to Spector himself, it can be a very adult game. Although that could be just PR bullshit.

It's a Wii game. It will be shit.
If you thought that XBawks and Playstation games were primitive - Wii took it even further.

The concept art was fucking gorgeous. I haven't seen any of its awesomeness in the footage/screenshots in-game yet. Wait and see.

The quest for Damien and Henrietta, (like the one involving Tiki Sam and the masks) shows some of the moral depth that's been woven into the fabric of the gameplay. Mickey is urged by Damien to find out Henrietta's likes and dislikes so he can make a good first impression. The player does this by having Mickey talk to Henrietta, but they then have a choice; they can report back to Damien truthfully, or they can cause him to pick out the wrong romantic gift and break up this fledgling little relationship once an for all. As the game progresses, the player is presented with more moral choices - some of them tied into the game's paint/thinner mechanic. For example, when Mickey comes across adversaries he can use the thinner to rub them out completely, or he can us the paint to turn them into allies. Either choice usually ends up having a profound effect on the game's environment, as well as the characters of the Cartoon Wasteland, and how they act towards Mickey.

Wii games are fun, bros.

I love all these 'landmark' developers like Spector and Ron Gilbert lambasting the industry but then turn around and make titles for the Wii and iphones, respectively.

Where else? Console gamers hate games with a passion, they want movies - and there are just too many retards among PC crowd who buy computer only to play shitty console movies (that includes you, Codex)

PC gaming is dead. If anything Codex is an indication of this too.

Why not ? Good Wii titles are good without those shitty cinematics and popamole, NSMBW is much more challenging than what those self-claim "hardcore" games have to offer. :smug:
