After the lackluster success of both the original Epic Mickey and it’s sequels on consoles and handhelds, does anyone really want another sequel? I’m in the middle on this one. I seem to love every single thing about the series, except for the actual gameplay, which always turns out mediocre at best. Honestly, if the team at Junction Point spent more time on gameplay, or got an en entirely different team to take on the gameplay, the game would feel a lot more fresh, and less repetitive. Warren Spector (the game’s creator) has shared more on the future of the series, which is included below. -Greg Boe (admin)
“Oh man, there are so many aspects of Disney’s history to draw from, we’ll never run out of material. There are all sorts of forgotten characters, concepts from films that were never made, rides that have been retired from the Parks or never built at all,” he says. “We could map games for the next 80 years about Disney’s last 80.”
“I should probably keep some secrets, but I’d love to do something with all the rejected versions of Tinkerbell [from Peter Pan] we saw in the archives – I think fans would get a huge kick out of that.”
“I’d love to see the Disney Epic Mickey series continue – there are plenty of stories still to tell about Wasteland and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse! I’d love to see some Oswald games, where he’s on his own. He deserves a shot at solo stardom. Then there are the ‘duck’ games – Donald, Scrooge, etc – that are just waiting to be made. And a bunch of us at Junction Point have thoughts about Goofy and the Gremlins and a hundred others.”
