Rumor: Epic Mickey coming to PS3 next year |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: disney interactive, epic mickey, playstation 3 updates, rumor, Warren Spector
Now take this with a grain of salt for now, but if rumors are true, it looks like Disney Interactive and Warren Spector's 2D masterpiece, Epic Mickey, will be heading to the PS3 real soon.
A Spanish website called PSNow! reported earlier the big news, but the article was suddenly pulled down for unknown reasons. But thanks to the interwebs, we got some fresh details about Mickey's PS3 outing. According to reports, the game "will not be a conversion of the game released a few weeks ago for Wii, but an independent development in a parallel since 2008, with an engine optimized to the capabilities of PlayStation 3, which will allow 720p native resolution and a rate of 60 frames per second sustainable."
It will also support the PlayStation Move and "will be available in physical format Blu-ray and through digital download from PlayStation Store." The report also suggest that "the game launch will occur after a period of exclusivity for at least six months given to Nintendo. As expected, the legendary mouse will have a Collector's Edition of the game with a pack containing the film Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 on Blu-ray with bonus content yet to reveal. The official announcement of Epic Mickey for PlayStation 3 will take place at an event to be held on Monday, 3 January in Orlando (Florida) where they show the first trailer for the title and will kick off the first material of this press release."

I've having fun checking out all the HB available, installing my games to the HDD and running them at top speeds as well as playing all my games like normal.
As for multiplayer games, I don't play online games. I don't really need PSN right now, it can wait.

So yeah, I've been having fun.

You can already copy copy-protected saves to a new HDD with the backup utility as it worked fine when I went from a 60gb to a 320gb.
I don't think I've had a game NOT run at full speed off of BD so I'm not sure unless you're referring to framerate or load times...
Multiplayer isn't the only thing fun but you cut yourself off of Netflix, Addons galore, entertaining dev videos, Video Conferencing and such (It's no skype but it's easy enough for extended family)...
I'm holding out until JB-ing presents more. Oh, and on topic, Epic Mickey isn't great on the Wii so it shouldn't matter on the PS3. Awful targeting, no voice overs, weird autosave system... Move controls and 720p with cartoon addon won't save this one...

The backup utility on the PS3 tells me NO when I try to copy my Rockband game data....I just tried it.
JBing is going to become rampant here pretty soon. PSJailbreak uses a fixed key to installed packages, Sony obviously killed that key. Now we have the private key for installing USB packages so Sony can never block that on existing consoles. Pretty soon everyone will be creating their own keys with a keygen and making their own dongles.

It's all about load times. Cut in MORE then half. Is it a big deal? Not really, but it sure is nice to not have to wait anymore. Although the downfall to that one is you no longer have time to read anything displayed for your reading pleasure while you wait.
