I'm not calling it "Epic Mickey" because I have no reason to believe that that's the actual title of the project. If that does end up being the title, fine, but I'm not going to call it that just yet.
So, anyway. Introduction time.
Warren Spector Mickey Game!?
Yes indeedy. If you've been living under a rock for the past fw days, this is the scoop: Warren Spector is heading a project for Disney, a project that involves a very different take on the Disney mythos than we are used to. At the time of this writing there are no details on the project, but there are things that we can assume, like it probably being awesome.
All right, so what's the big deal?
The big deal is this:
1. This is a Warren Spector game leveraging one of the most powerful entertainment licenses in the world. It's kind of like Kingdom Hearts only without the Square-Enix and with one of gaming's greatest geniuses being the guy behind the project.
2. This is the first AAA Western-developed Wii exclusive that I'm aware of. This is a top-tier team working with an absurdly powerful brand to make what is hoped to be one of the best games on the platform.
3. Mickey Mouse is awesome.
All right, then what's the topic about?
This topic is here so people can make predictions about the project colloquially known as "Epic Mickey". I will be putting a link to this topic in my sig and check up on it periodically so we can keep track of exactly what people were predicting about this game.
Here are some questions you can answer in your predictions:
1. What will the review scores on this game be like? What do you expect as the Metacritic average, based on what you know at the time of your prediction?
2. What will sales for the game be like in the first week?
3. What will sales for the game be like in the first month?
4. What will sales for the game be like lifetime?
5. How will gamers respond to this game when they have played it?
Lay down your predictions, people! I want to know what you think this game is going to turn out like, and what kind of success it will be!
