Warren Specter, the creator of Deus Ex and Thief, revealed that he is working on a Disney game for Wii.
Sounds pretty "ok, so what". But that was until I saw the concept art.

All I have to say is... uhh.. well, holy shit.
Do you think that it is cliche to represent our childhood favorites in such a dark twist? But I think that this will look pretty awesome as a game. Has kind of a Fallout air in it.

Looks like there is a story after all
http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=220427
QuoteAs for the story, we've also been told that it'll be based around very old and/or forgotten Disney characters who are out to get their revenge on Mickey, presumably because they're jealous of all his fame and fortune. We Googled 'early Disney characters' and found that Oswald the Lucky Rabbit returned a lot of hits.

This looks absolutely badass
Also Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was stolen from Walt Disney by someone whose name escapes me (the bad guy in Up is named after him), so I guess it would be hard to include him in the game.

I'm loving this dark twist, but so far it's probably because there's no estrogen-laced SquareEnix bullshit in sight to ruin it. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Warren Spector, on the other hand, made Deus Ex which is one of the baddest motherfuckers in PC games.

Bump, there has been a lot of stuff that came out the past months. I really love the philosophy behind the project, because I agree that Mickey Mouse is more of an icon than a character now. The inclusion of Oswald and long forgotten characters is amazing. The animation seems to be a huge part of what makes it unique by now.
There is a lot of tribute to the old classic cartoons like The Brave Little Tailor or The Clock Washers behind the idea of the levels and scenario. http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2009/10/19/Inside-the-Game_3A00_-An-In_2D00_Depth-Look-at-Epic-Mickey_1920_s-Art-and-Animation.aspx
