60 bucks?

 

[Moses85]

59,99€

LMAO

 

[BlackTron]

lol why make a new Mickey platform game when you can remake an old one and sell it for the same price. Most people who played the original either don't remember or have different lives now so what's the difference right?

 

[FoxMcChief]

Will wait for game pass or PS+.

Has anyone played this, thoughts? It's from Warren Spector, creator of System Shock.

 

[keefged4]

Obligatory £49.99 lol

 

[Sintoid]

Again?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Yeah back in the day when it was on the Wii. It wasnt great, but it wasnt terrible and I wouldve stuck with it had they not completely fucked the inverted control options.

They missed the opportunity to call it EPIC MICKEY REFURBISHED

60 euro?

I don't remember this being well received and its sequel was even worse.
What Spector needs to do is combine Deus X with Disney to give us a Kingdom Hearts style adventure.
Also the main protagonist needs clown shoes. Must have the clown shoes.

I mean, that's kinda what everyone thought and hoped he was doing judging by the concept art that got leaked in the early 00's

Dark mode, dilapidated, gloomy Disney

I just recall some really bad platforming, If I do recall correctly. Also the paintbrush to replace the wi-mote was rather cool.

You do recall correct. The platforming was awful.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Would totally be game for this BUT not at that price point lol

Played the demo on PS5 last night. It’s pretty solid. Plays much better than that shitty Wii version. Kinda tempted to get it.

 

[jcorb]

Probably just a case of them knowing it'll go on sale, and discounts drive sales. A 30% discount probably has a similar increase in sales, regardless of the baseline price, so charging full price has a sort of logic to it.

I really *only* remember that early concept art, so I always had an interest in seeing more of the game. But yeah, I'll probably wait for an inevitable discount.

Played some of the demo yesterday. I'm getting this Day 1, mostly because I'm weirdly hyped to play it but also as a b-day gift for my wife. THQ Nordic deserves the support too, one of the best publishers around IMO.

His time of fame was on the Wii... Now the game is irrelevant.
