Sony talks Epic Mickey 2 Vita developer, improvements, cross-compatibility, and more.
Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is one of the greatest co-op platformers ever made, and can still be played on modern consoles & PCs.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).
Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
Xbox Wire: "It’s true, constantly bringing more games to you is kind of our schtick at Xbox Game Pass, so let’s talk about the journey these latest additions took to get from us to you! We started with the customary good luck ceremony, during which we wrote heartfelt haikus in tribute to each game, and the social media team sang their rehearsal solos for the Xbox Game Pass: The Musical."
One of the few bright spots for the Xbox One is the Xbox Game Pass. I am waiting for them to be the Netflix of gaming. Even for new titles. That's the goal. That would be so awesome. That's like their main selling point.
It's shocking how much speed Game pass has picked up recently. The selection of new games is great so far.
Not the best thing Sony could get ported to the Vita. So i really hope the Jak&Daxter collection rumor is true.
"One last note: as of now, Epic Mickey 2 won’t offer any sort of cross-compatibility support. There are no cross-buy, cross-play, or cross-save features planned."
Sony really needs to start offering those features with every game, more so with ports
So that 100 figure for upcoming games is really just ps3 ports?
Glad Sony is helping on both,.. WiiU version sometimes drops frames a bit,.. looks fantastic though. I don't know what to think of it,.. but at least they foxed a camera.(Two stick)
"The Vita version of the game, starring Disney’s Mickey on a quest to bring color back to the world, will include touch-screen controls for painting and tilt controls for racing. The Vita also gets an exclusive two-player Wi-Fi cooperative mode."
I think this game will fit the Vita better. Plus the co-op seems like a really nice added feature to add some more fun to the game. It may not be something I am interested in but I know it cost Sony next to nothing to port this, so why would I really complain when they are actually improving upon the game.
I love co-op games of any kind so with that in mind, if this is ever on sale or if it is cheap in general I might look into it.
