Spector: Epic Mickey may be the best looking Wii game ever
This information comes from Warren Spector…
“This is a Disney game. It’s going to have the lush, beautiful, bright colours of a Disney feature film on the Wii. And I want players and I want our competition to think ‘holy cow I didn’t know you could do that on a Wii’. For my money, Epic Mickey may be the best looking Wii game ever. The critical thing is I believe we’ve captured the spirit of the character, and the essence of Disney. That’s what we needed to do. When you start any project you have to know what you want to achieve. I remember when we started this project I told the team that some day we’ll be at E3, and there are going to be 2,500 games on display, and 1,800 are going to be brown. ‘Welcome to brown world!’ And the others are going to be [mock enthusiasm] hyper-real! Everything looks real now! I told the team we’re going to have five seconds – five seconds for people walking past our exhibitor booth to know that Epic Mickey doesn’t look like any other game.”
It’s tough for me to be completely certain until I see the game on my television, but I feel that Epic Mickey features some beautiful visuals. Thus far, the best graphics on Wii have mostly come out of Nintendo development studios, so it’s nice to see a third-party game like Epic Mickey look fantastic.
