Forums - Gaming - So how could Epic Mickey work on the 360 and PS3?

I know the game is just on the Wii right now. I have it, and am enjoying it. But, unless I'm mistaken, Spector admitted the game could come to those systems later (which is why this isn't on the Nintendo forums, as this is not about a Nintendo system). And since I believe in major game fairness*, I wouldn't mind seeing the other systems get this as well. The question is how it could be done?

The big issue would be integrating the pointer. Now the Move on the PS3 seems like a solution, but as the d-pad is on the Navigation controller, that would make the game's infamous camera even harder to control. Heck, even if this hypothetical port improved the camera, that would still be a major annoyance.

Anyway, one possible solution would be that the right stick controls the camera and the pointer. One of the shoulder buttons would alternate (either holding or toggling), while the two buttons on the othe side would fire the paint and the thinner. Or pressing down on the stick could also toggle, or just center the camera.

As for the graphics, I know some would prefer the game look just like the concept drawings, but they don't seem to realize how rare it is for any game, or even some animated works, to look like the concept drawings. Plus the complexity of those drawings would raise the cost of the game, and rampant budgets are the biggest problem with HD games as it is. In this case, just some polygon improvements, higher texture resolutions, and more effects, should do the job (oh and some of the Nintendo nods would have to be altered, such as the NES an SNES carts in Mickeyjunk Mountain).

But as mentioned, the camera should be the top priority improvment, and personally would give me reason to buy this game twice.

 

* Which is why while I insist RE5 be put on the Wii, I also insist RE4 get an HD remake/revision, so that people with the 360 and PS3 can experience it.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
