Spector Considering Epic Mickey Sequels

Warren Spector, the chap behind Disney's Epic Mickey has ideas for at least two sequels depending on how the first turns out.

The Wii project tells the story of ancient Disney characters isolated in a darker, alternative world and just as hope seems to be lost, Mickey Mouse turns up to paint a little colour. If it works out then Spector already has at least two more planned out, but it all comes down to how well Epic Mickey's debut does.

I don't do anything that isn't extensible. And I will certainly feel like that I have not done my job if we can't make other games in this world with these characters. In my head, I've got two more planned. In the business world of reality, those games have not approved, and who knows if we'll ever see them. I had three games planned for Deus Ex, and you see where that got me.

Well, if he's got them planned early, that might be a good sign.

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path.

I'm so glad this game is Wii exclusive.

Me too. It helps selling it a lot, because it seems great and unique and somehow adult in presentation, meaning people may buy this, because it hasn't been done similar on other consoles, like even Dead Space has (shame it sold so poorly! Damn, I think I buy it to support it!).

If they keep presentation unique in Disney's universe and don't spoil it thru Mickey being so damn nice and helping them all without so much as a conflict, and if they transport these awesome concept arts into the game, then they may be selling it a lot. I sure hope so!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Wasn't there supposed to be a big reveal for this game at the end of October in London?

Dead space is not a good example. Its not onrails becuase that it is what the wii is best at. It was onrails because of cheaper production and a greater appeal to people who cant use the nun chuk. I think it deserved to sell poorly and I didnt and wont go any where near this title.

Imagine the top third or FP games being ported as an onrails game for the wii. Its a damn waste

I also see no problem with this being multi platform if they choose it to be. A HD version would probably take it closer to the original concept art. Although the control mechanics could get lost without the other consoles motion controls.
