At first I thought the movement was off. But I realize that's just a silly habit I have of not liking change. So then after I kept watching, I realized that the movement is better. It's less floaty. The level design seems more interesting than the original with occasional 3d movement. The visuals look excellent. Looks better than the original so far for me.


Thoughts?

Looks very cool. I love these behind the scenes videos. Really a great way to spread the word of SEGA history. Given all the classic game footage, I wonder if the game will contain the original?

Looks pretty good, I don't really like that they're seemingly using stock sound effects though.

Between this and Ducktales, it's a great year for modernized classics.

To be honest i don't like the look of this game, i much perfer the original and how it had that overall magical disney look and the classic version of mickey. it made the game timeless. now it looks like many of the other imitator disney games, many by Disney Interactive themselves which try to capture but fail to make a disney game of the caliber and standard Sega themselves set.
Even the Mastersystem/GG Disney Sega games look better than this.

Tbh I always thought the master system version not only controlled and played better overall, it also looked and sounded better, which is funny with the less powerful hardware. But I feel there was a better team behind that version.

The genesis version was never "that" apealing to me. I think they did quite well in capturing "its essence" as the woman described. But the level design looks superior without a doubt.

Looks really nice to me.  I started to notice little contextual touches to Mickey's animation that are really impressive, like in the section where he's ducking under large objects rolling over him.  You can see him kind of cautiously looking around while he's ducking, and it seems very in-character.  I don't think it detracts anything from the originals to say that this looks fantastic.  And the developers said all the right things in paying respects to the originals as well.  Looks like a great game, and to think we knew nothing of it until relatively recently.

dude, haven't you learnt yet? They always say the right things in these type of videos. Remember the GOLDEN AXE BEAST RIDER developer vids? They said all the right things too and we both know that game fell way short of tapping into what GA should have been.

Note that nobody is really commenting on what the developers are saying. We're all talking about what the gameplay looks like. Most of the video is just the developers of the original going "this thing we did back then was impressive for the time" anyway.

Well that applies to just about every game ever. :V

[ROJM]

Well it could be poo or it could be gold, we wont know until its released. So far i'm not impressed with the title.

Listen, folks, I apologize for not being a hand-wringing whiner or a bloviating pessimist.  Unlike most of you Sega "fans" I'm actually enjoying what I'm seeing and experiencing.  Good luck trying to control something you have no connection to other than as observers who think they know  it all!

From what I can see, it looks well-executed and the artwork and animation are clearly done with care for the source material.  Admittedly, these types of 'behind-the-scenes' clips are promotional, but they can offer insight into the developers' intentions, so that's what I was commenting on.  If I feel like commenting on that aspect, I'm going to do just that, so you can keep your suggestions about what you think I should comment on to yourself.  That's not the only topic I brought up, anyhow.

Don't be silly, some of the people, "whining" gave their reasons why they weren't impressed. If you dont like it fair enough but don't throw your dolls out of the pram because anyone else isn't going by your "sacred" opinion. Geez.

The rest of the Illusion series on the MasterSystem/GG games was quite impressive too. Many of the latter MS games were really quite impressive for any 8bit system in its latter years. Its too bad it doesn't get as much attention with fans on what sega did with the programming on the games with that system as the MD does.
