Comments on: Disney Epic Mickey at E3 – What a Show! http://www.seanba.com/disney-epic-mickey-at-e3-what-a-show.html Still enthusiastic about making great video game software Wed, 28 Dec 2011 00:21:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Seanba http://www.seanba.com/disney-epic-mickey-at-e3-what-a-show.html/comment-page-1#comment-64 Seanba Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:16:48 +0000 http://www.seanba.com/?p=481#comment-64 Thanks, Jay. FWIW, I enjoyed working with that astronaut a good deal. Obviously that project was troubled, but I think it's kind of complicated. I should blog about it someday. But Warren really is a great front man. Gamers trust him and IMHO he's got the perfect mix of confidence and geeky humility. The stars do seem to be aligning and this looks like the game I've waited my whole career to be a part of but we've still got to get it done and on the shelf - so we're not there yet! :) Thanks, Jay.

I'm glad you're finally enjoying some positive hype as you've been attached to a few games in the past with "colourful" development issues and the hype leading up to their release became quite negative. I guess it helps when your studio head is actually interested in the gaming genre and pushing boundaries...unlike certain wannabe film directors and astronauts you've worked for in the past. I predict that Epic Mickey will have epic sales. Great IP, great development and creative talent and targeting a platform with a huge install base, but ravenous for exclusive titles. I smell royalty cheques! Sean,
