Warren Spector

Then we saw the actual in game shots rather than the concept art.

Well the graphics style ingame is being 100% remade, which sounds nice.

But the original graphics was no where NEAR in design of the concept. Obviously it wasn't going to look as good, but it never captured the atmosphere and feel of the original pictures

I give them another chance, but one major mistake ruins a lot. Take left 4 dead 2 for Valve... never the same

>>61558312
Didn't the devs say they were going to change that after the public backlash that ensued?

Nothing happened to Epic Mickey. They just rewrote their computer scripts to bomb Miley and Demi in /tv/ instead of Mickey in /v/. That's literally it.

>>61558410

And what might the source be on this little tidbit? I keep hearing about it but it's like it just floated down to earth from nowhere in particular.

Also, I hope this means we finally get /CO/SWALD. Shit would be so cash.

>a horrific steampunk interpretation of our childhood concepts of Disney and it's characters

Hahahahaha, no. I'm not a 14 year-old emo faggot

>>61559001

nope, you are a 17 edgy faggot

/v/ was fucking retarded and assumed that a game would look anything like it's initial concept art. Many games don't. They expected some incredibly grimdark Disney fuckery, which was pretty unrealistic even when you do consider the concept art. In a way, it's the exact same thing that the internet did with Spore - hear some details, see some art/screens/whatever - HYPE HYPE HYPE EXTRAPOLATE EXTRAPOLATE EXTRAPOLATE.

I am still looking forwards to the game because I like Warren Spector's prior stuff and I like Disney and I need another reason to play my dust covered Wii. /v/ cries that the developers betrayed their trust by developing 'kidding shit'. In a Disney game.

>>61559273
of course, I mean 'kiddie shit'.

>>61559001

>a 14 year-old emo faggot

I said Epic Mickey, not Kingdom Hearts.

It's not like we're gunna go cry in a corner and write depressing poetry. It's just nice to have a bit of grimdark in your games every now and then

Yeah, I dunno if it's a Sonic 4 style "Back the fuck up and restart because we take /v/'s opinions way too seriously" thing, or they're just not showing stuff right now.

>>61559658

No, it's just interesting to see the change of a character we grew up with, quit being an obnoxious teenager.

I hope they keep the idea of "It's A Small World" with the song in reverse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzh8TuYDIcI

Jesus Christ, the whole concept of the game sounds like nightmare fuel.

Actual screenshots looked so horrible in comparison to the concept art that all expectations vanished

>>61560289
Game developers don't give a fuck about /v/'s opinion, because /v/ is generally full of fuckheads who nitpick every little detail and are part of a niche market.

That is assuming they even know what /v/ is, and if they do, if they post here. Which is unlikely, because even though 4chan is pretty huge for a website, it's still rather obscure in society.

When Epic Mickey was announced for the Wii everyone was like "FUCK DAT I NEED MATURE GAEMAN FOE ME".

>>61561010
I highly doubt that is a regular business practice.

>>61559273
Well, Spore had lots of potential, and looked fantastic in beta. Then some guy said it looked too mature and focused too much on evolution, which would scare potential Christian customers away, so they did away with a lot of it and changed it completely.

>>61561151
The main focus of Spore is still evolution. The game was never changed completely.

Did you even play Spore?

I'm going through concept art for this game. What the FUCK am I looking at? It's actually kind of unsettling.

>>61559912

You're wrong. 4chan is the most mainstream website on the internet next to IGN.

>>61561572
I remember this video well. Yeah, the underwater stage is gone. That is unfortunate. But people always link back to either this or the other lengthy demo video and say LUUK HOW MUCH BETTER DA GAME WASSS.

How is the game different? Other than the UI and the lack of underwater stage, and the blood? Because, honestly, to me, it looks like the same fucking game.

>>61562073

Ok? I'm willing to bet at least ten of them know what it is. The rest are either over the age of 35 or are not internet savy in the slightest.

You are in severe denial if you don't think 4chan is a well known website compared to the rest of the internet.

>>61562260
Sure. It's well known as far as the internet goes. But it's not on the same level as Facebook or anything like that, and it certainly doesn't have that much mainstream penetration.

>>61561659

>>61562547

You saw a very literal display of what the game was capable of, and you, along with nearly everyone else in the audience (me included), hyped the fuck out of it and had unrealistic expectations. Admit it.

Once everyone admit's that Spore's failure was half Maxis, and half on themselves, the gaming world will be a better place.

>>61562537

>>61562460
>But it's not on the same level as Facebook or anything like that.

No you're right. I was comparing 4chan to sites like IGN and Digg, not Facebook and Google.


>and it certainly doesn't have that much mainstream penetration.

It absolutely does. Anyone who uses the internet for stuff like reading blogs, you know, more than just checking Facbook and their email probably knows of 4chan's existence. We were in the Time 100 for fucks sake.

Is this gonna be a creepy, avant-garde Banjo-Kazooie?

It better be

>>61562260
4chan is in the top 1000 according to Alexa. A lot of people know about it, but it's definitely not as popular as you think. Think about what /v/ is to video games, and look at every board. This is pretty much what 4chan is, a collection of a bunch of people that can discuss their subject of choice (and troll) all day. It's a big community, very active, but no NYTimes, Facebook, or Youtube.

>>61562769
I'm not saying the whole game was a failure, i'm just saying they took shit out that would have been fucking awesome. I agree with the whole hyping thing, /v/ does it all the time

>>61562713
Fun fact: 4chan has close to the amount of mainstream penetration that Myspace has today.

Although it's nowhere near as close as Facebook and Youtube.

>>61563003
>A lot of people know about it, but it's definitely not as popular as you think.

>>61562965

>It's a big community, very active, but no NYTimes, Facebook, or Youtube.

I never said it was.

>>61563069
But what did they take out? WHAT DID THEY TAKE OUT? PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY STUFF WAS TAKEN OUT.

BUT CAN NEVER GIVE EXAMPLES.

Because nothing was taken out.

>>61562965
> Anyone who uses the internet for stuff like reading blogs, you know, more than just checking Facbook and their email probably knows of 4chan's existence.

That's not true. If you're in high school, yes. Curiosity must have led a lot of these kids here at some point. But if you're in college try mentioning it to some casual (not in the /v/ way) guy. Or at a party. Think about all the people who don't spend all their time behind a computer. Ditto if you have a job.

4chan is very popular among teenagers (mostly /b/) and video game fans. But then go on the other boards, it's the same 50 tripfags jerking each other all day.

4chan isn't totally mainstream, bros.

Were like the hipsters of the internet.

>>61562881
I never said 4chan was a super secret club, because it's not. It's probably the centerpiece of 'internet nerd culture', whatever the fuck that means. However, very few people are savvy to that culture. The average, mainstream, American youth, does not know what 4chan is, nor do they care.

None of my friends know about 4chan. Then again, all my friends are the very definition of what most of /v/ hates, and so am I. So we're not exactly 4chan's average audience. But, considering we pretty much fall into the average American demographic, I think that speaks to have 'big' 4chan really is.

4chan went mainstream after the whole scientology youtube bullshit

Man I'd love to knee the crotch of the fuck who started that

>>61558245

/v/'s reaction to Epic Mickey in a nutshell.

Remember when we would see exact same threads with the exact same posts about Epic Mickey?

It would always start with something like "Can we get an Epic Mickey thread? Post some concept art" or something.
Then "Take this to [/co/, /v/], it isn't quite related per say"
"Video games/comics are not video game/comic related, you heard it here first folks.

People ignored the "Disney" part.

Are you joking? Plenty of people on my college campus know about 4chan. I've see people browsing this site all the time in the library, and walking through the hallways spouting 4chan memes. And I don't go to some small or strange-as-fuck school either.

>Think about all the people who don't spend all their time behind a computer. Ditto if you have a job.

Unless, you know, your job consists of you spending your time behind a computer. What made you think the two were somehow mutually exclusive in any way?

>>61563505
>The average, mainstream, American youth, does not know what 4chan is, nor do they care.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I never really understood the appeal of a grimdark mickey.
He's a happy character and I don't see why anyone would want to see him in anything else.
Being the king in Kingdom Hearts was bad enough.

>>61563505

I'm curious to know what you mean by you and your friends being "the definition of what /v/ hates". Granted, /v/ is definitely full of faggots, but what are you saying?

>>61563003
>4chan is in the top 1000 according to Alexa.

Sites like XVIDEOS and Brazzers are in the top 500. But I'm willing to bet more people know about 4chan than those websites.

It's also about being to post without being criticized based on your identity or lack of authority.

Cool irony bro.

>>61565189
>And that's worse than criticizing someone for thinking differently and not being part of the pack?

We're talking about posting with an identity (a pseudonym is still an identity) vs posting without an identity.

And you're actually more likely to see people posting different opinions when they're not being pressured based on identity. So I don't know where you're coming up with this anonymous hivemind bullshit.

Here's the post that got me started on this argument >>61564180

Maybe you're arguing about identity vs no identity, but I'm arguing the core values of anonymity on 4chan.

I have to go with the bro who is arguing that 4chan is not wellknown, in the US it might be but in the rest of the world, no way, I have yet to meet another swede who browses 4chan, I know they exist but they are rare.

Every single time you bother someone else because they're doing something they want to do, they earn the right to bother you for doing something you want to do. That's why we constantly and always remind you that you're a pig-disgusting faggot that rolls around in his own droppings.

He was implying that he's better then people who post here.

Wait what are his fetishes? I've always ignored him.

You think I'm arguing because someone insulted me?
If you're not even going to bother reading the posts I linked them why argue?

>>61566856
He didn't even imply he wasn't part of /v/, it was more like he was asking "Who the hell are you speaking on behalf of".

The opinion of a tripfag has never mattered.

Every tripfag has, and will always be, an attention-whoring faggot. Note that no matter how many times people call them out on their faggotry and generally (and truthfully) state their contempt for them, they still lap up the attention they receive even if it's negative like a pathetic dog after it's been kicked by its master.

The only time a tripcode is ever justified on *chan is if:

1. Story is being told that absolutely requires a tripcode
2. That's pretty much it.

tl;dr: Fuck off tripfags. Your kind has always been hated and that's not gonna change anytime soon.

Although I agree with you, many people on /v/ never get their opinions heard. This is why tripfags are tripfags, to get heard. But it's the sagers/virals/trifaghaters who ruin threads not the tripfags themselves.

>>61567124
>He didn't even imply he wasn't part of /v/, it was more like he was asking "Who the hell are you speaking on behalf of".

No, he implied he was somehow separate from the rest of us, even though he posts here LIKE THE REST OF US.

well if i remember correctly

his mother forced him to wear diapers because he acted like a baby so she treated him like one
