News Epic Mickey Rebrushed announced for PC and consoles

[Josh5890]

$60 at launch is a tough pill to swallow. This will definitely be an "get on a sale" game.

I hope it reviews well!

Never played either of the Epic Mickey games but man this looks really good and fun to me. I'm planning on getting it for sure. Can't wait!

Confirmation that they're absolutely fixing the camera.

Gosh, this is exciting. As much as I love the original Epic Mickey, I can't deny it had some jank to it, in large part because of the camera. Getting an HD version with updated visuals that fixes the jank that I can play on my steam deck is more than I ever dared hope for.

I hope this game does well enough that they decide to redo the second game too--and I mean ''totally redo'' it. Add in all the stuff that was cut or scrapped, expand the story, do everything they can to turn EM2 into the worthy sequel it should have been all along. And then, Epic Mickey 3.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I just keep reading it as Epic Mickey Refurbished.

Already 700k watched on YouTube! Batman Arkham and Fortnite was not as fast as this to hit that number. This is gonna sell big numbers. And guarantee a remake of the second game and maybe other Disney gen 6 games!

Though Battlefront collection has been watched a total number of 1.4 million. Watched on Playstation channel as Nintendo posted the video later than they did.

Those developers have made games for multiple publishers. They weren't tied directly to Ubisoft. They probably got booted off the project by Disney just like they got replaced even on XIII. There was no Donald Duck Gone Quackers remake in the works for current consoles. This simply got handed to a different publisher and developer.

Someone should really greenlight a Donald Going Quackers remaster

I know this is being really petty, but "Rebrushed" is a horrible name IMO -- every time I hear it, my teeth get on edge. It's not even a word!

 

[SpaceGodzilla]

this game was always weird in retrospect since in a way it was Disnye's way of reintroducing Mickey as a character and not just a brand logo to modern audiences while also paying tribute to early Disney, I think it could have been a lot more successful if they kept some of the more darker aspects and had an extra year to fix the jank

I realize now that THQ is the Publisher and now I really want a Deadly Creatures remaster.

Yeah... this has been THQ Nordic's "thing" with rereleases for the last few years: Darksiders Warmastered, Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered, etc.

I would have called it Brushed Up (because that actually has the same meaning as "Remastered" in a sense)

Sorry for being late to the party (my time online has been minuscule...) but....

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!

Epic Mickey is one of my favorite Wii games, and I always mourned the abrupt end of the franchise after Epic Mickey 2's cliffhanger.. and while I am never on the camp of asking for remakes of my favorite games (I'm in favor of rereleases, however) this is an INCREDIBLE opportunity to fix the little tiny mechanical and structural annoyances of the original game and have it available on modern platforms.

I won't dare to dream on the Epic Mickey franchise getting its long due 3rd main entry, but I'm quite happy this is happening at all!

I streamed the game start to finish JUST last month! I feel like the timing couldn't be any better... it was even the stream I came out for my audience, so that will be always be a big moment for me to remember;

A couple previews came out from Nintendo's showcase at GDC. It sounds promising!

What’s more impactful is the control overhaul, which makes Rebrushed feel like an entirely different game. Rather than using motion controls to paint, I play my demo on a standard Switch Pro Controller, using a two-stick setup to move and control the camera. That’s so naturally implemented here that I can hardly remember the clumsy controls of the original. Nothing feels out of step with a modern 3D game, where I’m able to freely pivot the camera around while painting enemies.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a full remake, not a remaster | Digital Trends

We played Epic Mickey: Rebrushed at GDC and got a much better idea of what’s been redone in the Wii remake.

The demo sequence from GDC took Mickey through Gremlin Village. The visuals are close to the spirit of the original game, but look much smoother through the use of newer hardware. Game mechanics are largely the same, as evidenced by some of the game's objectives. We were still shutting off valves, platforming across emerging platforms, and confronting a variety of cartoonish enemies. Those who hated the waggle-based controls of the old Wii version can rejoice, because the game's combat shifting to the controller's shoulder buttons feels totally intuitive, as if that was always how it was meant to be played.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fresh coat of traditional paint

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed gives the old-school classic more traditional controls and it feels good.

They're both quick reads so I definitely recommend reading them!
