For everyone complaining about the lighting you can turn down the gamma and it looks much closer to the original, issue with all the comparison videos is they just leave the base settings (which ARE too high) but trust me, it looks awesome
I think it looks good,when i played epic mickey the light was to dim and i got lost sometimes cause i couldnt see anything,also my tv somethings got hit with the sun light so it didnt help either
As someone who really loves the original game, and played it a lot both as a kid when it released and as a teen later on, I think the remake is looking fantastic! If anything, the only thing that looked iffy to me as of now was the ending of the intro cutscene, where the Blot hits the ground with Mickey and rises up. It was just the model rising from the ground with no effects, so it looked kinda goofy 😅 besides that, everything looks incredible.
It’s cause of minor nitpick issues regarding the presentation. But ultimately if the game plays better that’s all that matters and that seems to be the case.
With a game there’s always room for improvement, but with remakes people tend to compare down to the WIRE. Personally as someone who played the original to death, I adore the new graphics. I think they did what they accomplished and we still have a LOT to see on release. But nostalgia can do crazy things to a mind I tell you that
@@Strangeisntit_real Yeah, because of that they make it worse for everyone else. If you wanted to play darksiders play that, epic mickey looks one way and this game does not look like it, this is nothing but a cash grab from people who didn't get it and probably don't have the skill to pull it off either.
@@Razzy_D9111 if this person wants the game and has the money to pay for it, they can buy it. Who actually cares if this is a cash-grab. A business’s goal is to make as much money as possible, not make everyone happy. It is what it is.
I’m kinda mixed on them removing the moody colors and having the games lighting be over saturated. The dark shadowy colors from the original gave it atmosphere and was meant to convey a depressing aesthetic which appears to be lacking with this remake. I real hope there’s a way to mess with the games lighting so that it can at least look closer to its original visual appearance. Otherwise I’d have to be editing my TV settings which may disrupt the appearance of cutscenes.
@@onisandwich6205 It's about aesthetic, the original had a grittier and more dirty look to it and the remake is a lot cleaner and "rounded out" if that makes sense. The new lighting completely changes the vibe, I've never played either game but I can immediately tell the art direction is very different in both versions.
If I had one cretic on the remake compared to the old game, it's the color of the inside of Mickey and Oswald's mouth, perfect example is at 2:09, while it's the same animation, the black inner mouth in the old game helps push the expression and makes it more readable, but this is really a nitpick on my part.
Don't know why y'all are whining your asses off about it "not looking dark enough like the original" or "there's too much lighting", not only can you turn the gamma down in the settings for rebrushed, but this is only one area of many in the game with a dark look to it, and if you take a second to think, games have come a long way from what they used to look like on the wii, of course the visuals are going to look different, its on a completely different engine, built from the ground up, not to mention that a lot of the places in the original have daytime-ish sky boxes (Gremlin Village, Mean Street and Ostown just to name a few) but due to limited hardware, they couldn't show that kind of lighting off that well, now they can, and you guys complain
What are you yapping about, is built on Unreal, it looks flat and the details are overdone for what it needed The shadows in the original were baked, it means it was actually purposefully designed, here they just let the lightning engine do whatever and that is that, you are full of bs
@@Razzy_D9111 That's... not how it works? They don't just let the lighting "do whatever", the lights are still purposely placed into the scene, they're just able to be more dynamic now. YOU are the one full of BS.

Okay, so my main complaint is that it looks too clean for the location. It's supposed to be a dirty place. Where's all the dirt and grime? As for the voice acting complaint people seem to have, pretty sure someone will mod it back in.
Man, you guys need to go outside and touch grass. The Wii version's art and graphics were nice for a Wii title, but that's just that... _for a Wii title._ Actually play the whole game from beginning to end, and it becomes very evident that the Wii original was very rushed out for release. The camera took a big hit and there is a general layer of polish missing, which combines to make the Wii original a tad bit sluggish to complete. Rebrushed looks like it goes a long way to addressing most of the issues with the original release. A few changes in design for various assets, but keeps the overall tone intact.

I would say that it for sure runs better, but the lighting and colors are a bit too different and don't really carry the same tone as the original. They cleaned it up a bit too much for me.
It looks amazing, but theres a charm the wii graphics had that is lost in the new one. Honestly the graphics of the original arent bad, they could even hold up today with a bit of polish. I'm surprised they didn't just port the original game bundled with Epic Mickey 2...
It’s mostly the lighting quality and texture resolution holding the Wii version back. Everything else is completely fine for a modern title since the art style is supposed to be cartoony and low detail. New version still looks nice but they went a bit overboard with detail on environment textures and the brightness of the lights. Some of the new floor textures have like 2x the detail which detracts from the overall composition.

Personally i don't get too many of the complaints,a lot of people are being way to fatalistic with the look of the remaster personally for me it looks overall better than the original, sure some things like the interactive platforms look kind of off and lightning kind of takes away the darkness of the original in some places But the overall detail they put in the levels,the new models ,and the overall aesthetic is far superior in my opinion,if i had to describe it,the original went for a more "realistic" look,while rebrushed made it more cartoony but still having the reslistic parts of the art style And hell,in a lot of screenshots the game does look far better than the original, especially in Mickey junk Mountain,mean street and skull island,so i think a lot of the complaints are just pity nitpicks honestly
I totally agree with you. Though it's true that some small details bother me like : the ondulations on the projector isn't there when Mickey jumps in, the liquids looked better on Wii, and the color inside Mickey and Oswald mouth is all white and it looks weird. But I'm really being picky because it's very amazing overall
I have to say... The art style and direction look more consistent and appealing in the remake. Even though I am not really a fan of Epic Mickey, you can tell that there's lot of artistic vibes in the original versions that the remakes for modern consoles are able to capitalize and maximize on them to their fullest potentials. Epic Mickey fans gotta be eating this pretty good.
@@internettoon bro im a 3d modeller and a professional designer, I think I got an artistic eye. It just doesn't convey that sort of mood compared to the original, yet it visually looks better but doesn't give off a creepy vibe
Is it just me or is the art direction… weakened. Idk it’s more polished and graphically looks nicer but something about it is just off. The eye especially is no where near as creepy and intimidating. Audio wise I also wish Gus’s voice lines came out of the remote speaker on PS. Those are nitpicks though and I do think the game plays better.
I don't think it's really weakened,it just looks more cartoony,the best way I can describe it is,the original had a more "semi realistic" look, while rebrushed goes for a more cartoony one while keeping the semy realism in some parts I would dare to say rebrushed looks even more grittier and eerie than the original in levels like Mickey junk mountain and Skull island
I haven’t been paying too much attention to this rerelease, and started playing it today. I was wondering why it only felt vaguely familiar, but I guess this is why! They updated a lot of details! I loved this game, so it’s really cool to play it again after all these years 😊
As someone who played this game when it launched, the remaster is SOOOO well done! Yes, the lighting is odd, but you can fix that in the settings. Im not used to the controller yet, but in time itll be like picking up a wiimote again!
This my friends is why a solid art style trumps anything photo realistic no matter what. Because of this they were able to keep it aging like fine wine for decades to come.
The eye on the massive machine at the start of this video looks a lot better in the Wii version but other than that this remake looks pretty good, look forward to playing it when I prune down my backlog
I love the visuals as well as the high quality animation and even reanimation for a lot of the characters, and the lighting is so soooo much better, but I think the only critic that I have is that the Mickey and Oswald models don’t have like, a black part in their mouth
Take from someone who's never played this game. Part way through I noticed I was naturally staring at the new version way more. Every time I glance at the left I'd kinda shudder and look back to the right lol
I swear every remake that's made all anyone complains about is the lighting. Like, no shit lighting is a huge reason why games look so good now. Of course, they are gonna use it. Thank god for personal settings, but I ig everyone forgets that
Only thing I don't like is how the inside of Mickey and Oswalds mouths aren't black. Makes it really difficult to tell their expressions when the inside of their mouths are just the same color as their face.
Missing the jagged edges, rusty appearance and warm colors of the original. It looks gorgeous and is very detailed, but not scary, dark or intimidating. Xenoblade 1's remake did the same thing. A lot of the charm of the original games came from the grit and jaggedness of the designs. Mechon look like shiny toys instead of scary killer robots.
The mad doctor's origins seems kinda odd to me, if I recall correctly, wasn't he just a nightmare mickey had years ago, meaning that he'd theoretically be not real, and yet he's here in the flesh(so to speak), wouldn't that mean that he's practically a lining nightmare incarnate...I could just be overthinking it.
Epic Mickey lore is quite the confusing lore, in the one cutscene where Gus shows Mickey the old cartoons Oswald was in, Mickey says "He was an actor?", and Horace and Clarabelle mention the cartoons they were in. Yet, they're still described as Toons that actually experienced those events, yet they also acted in cartoons similar to those events. It's very confusing.
So the world outside Wasteland is never truly explored, but it's hinted that it's a sorta "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kind of world, where toons "act" in cartoons, and humans watch the cartoons. When a toon becomes forgotten, they eventually fade away to this wasteland, a safe haven that Yen Sid was creating for forgotten characters. The Mad Doctor showed up in one cartoon, therefore, he was a "real toon" before becoming forgotten and ending up in the wasteland.
One of my nitpicks about this, after playing the demo, is how they didn't keep the cartoon drawing of mickey for the health ui. Another thing I noticed during the guardians tutorial cutscene, they still kept Mickey doing the motion you do on the Wii instead. I don't think they'll change it since it's a small detail and the fact that it is made in a 2D animation and not 3D making it a bit harder to add major changes, but one thing I feel they should have done in this is mickey doing the movements while holding his brush instead of, well nothing.
Finally they've brought this game to more modern consoles. I've owned a physical copy of epic mickey the power of two for years now and never played it yet because i don't have a nintendo wii lmao. I'm looking forward to playing this on my PS5.
As someone that didn’t get that far in the game the first time I played as a kid and want to play now it looks good, but I don’t like the change of the robot’s eye. Straight up the 1st one was way creepier and I actually like that. The second one looks a bit generic, if the texture was better quality and they added more realism to it, I feel like it could have been slightly better, but the uncanny shape of the elongated form In the first one (made to resemble an eye behind a socket without the head) 8:58 just felt better.
I’m seeing a ton of changes that they made. Some are fine, like changing the table that Mickey is strapped to, but then why get rid of the chalk board behind the mad scientist that shows his plan to take Mickeys heart? Theres little details that they edited or switched out that seem unnecessary
Looks alright visually, some of that tone is lost though for sure. There are oddly a couple of scenes where the Wii one flat out looks better artistically. I also really do not like Oswalds new model, something about the mouth.
I would say some things were made a little worse, but a lot of things were made a lot better. It's interesting that a lot of textures look like more realistic materials, yet they seem to have lost a lot of their gritty texture. Feels odd to say that a clearly lower resolution texture feels mmore detailed. But the really good lighting, and some of the asset redesigns are so much better. The door being the elephant that really hits that Small World aesthetic was, in my opinion, a BIG improvement, for example.
there is an example of "lower resolution textures having more details than newer high res ones" and its things like patterns, scratches, roughness, art, being missing in disgaea PC's "new" map textures
Shows you the power of memory - the PS5 graphics is how I remember the game looking on the Wii, despite the fact we're seeing a clear difference straight from the Wii. Funny how your memory messes with you.
Hmmm, can't tell if this is a remake or a remaster. Could be either. Was this game rebuilt from the ground up (remake), or did they just build and retexture on top of the original code (remaster)?
I never played this game and barely seen much of this game besides some promotional media and very small snippets of the cutscenes however, I do enjoy some aspects from both versions. For instance, I like the way the scientist in the original looks as he looks more sickly. I also like the original lighting in the first one as I personally like the green and yellow hues seen in a lot of older games (I know the lighting can be changed in the newer one but I’m referring to its untouched state). However, I also prefer the animation from the newer one as it’s more understandably polished. Furthermore, I also like the updates on some objects/elements like the updated mechanical eye, the knights, the sparkle effects, the ink that comes from Mickey, and more, plus the ink monster looks cooler.
I can see why there’s complaints. Having not played either, I see things in the video where the Wii looks better than the PS5. The boss on the Wii looks scarier, has a very Swiss Army knife look to it where as the ps5’s knife looks like a cheap knock off. The lighting is better all around on the Wii version. More colours used, background objects have lights that the ps5 version is missing, the lighting the boss has coming from the eye just looks better on the wii. The PS5 has some better textures but then there’s a lot of textures that look better in the Wii version. Especially the stained glass windows. In the one cut scene, the blackboard showing mickey on it is hidden in the background on the PS5 but is prominent on the Wii which adds to the atmosphere. The Oswald statue has a black and white appearance on the Wii but gold on the PS5. Oswald’s being black and white makes more sense. The PS5 uses most all the same animations but I noticed a few times where the Wii’s camera was better placed to show off the animation. The red chest opening had a very Zelda look to it with the way the camera was pointed but on PS5 the same animation had a different feel because the camera was moved.
The second stage area with the rides, the PS5 version wins on better ride graphics but loses with how bad the stage looks overall vs the Wii. Also, I had no idea the Wii would look so good with how it handles particles and lighting. Considering it wasn’t known for having the greatest particle effects, it’s curious why the PS5 version isn’t able to improve on the particle effects. In many areas the Wii with its sloppier starting point for the particle effect looks way better then the siphon like look on the PS5.
It’s a bit annoying how they removed some design elements to make things look “cleaner”. The doctor no longer has stains on his lab coat, the eye robot now just looks like a generic glass eyeball thing and not the human looking eye inside a lens, etc.
I'm loving it, but there's something off. The fact that they are missing the inner black part of their mouth makes it look weird. I hope thay it's just some early gameplay or something
@@bryanduder3420 Agreed, so far I really like the character designs they look cute and colorful which was the intent for these characters, but it's not like I wont be able to take them seriously
What honestly really matters is the Game play and it plays great... But I will admit some parts of the game did feel too colorful for me, loke the beginning cutscenein dark beauty castle. While I think the in game version looks WAY More Better!

The eye on the massive machine at the start of this video looks a lot better in the Wii version but other than that this remake looks pretty good, look forward to playing it when I prune down my backlog
This looks amazing. Gonna be great coming back to this.
This game is great in both versions. The original looks fantastic, but the remake takes what's there and makes it visually spectacular.
this is how you remaster a game
For some reason, the machine's audio was missing in the Switch demo, along with the sounds of the Gremlin's warping.
Ah. Never got to play the demo version in my Switch, because it drifts. But I don’t own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe…
im so glad nintendo have started to port/remake so many wii games. most underrated console with actually a few damn good games
This game was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I even got the sequel game
Are we gonna get Epic Mickey 2 after this?
Epic Mickey done got the SpongeBob rehydrated treatment
I love the visuals as well as the high quality animation and even reanimation for a lot of the characters, and the lighting is so soooo much better, but I think the only critic that I have is that the Mickey and Oswald models don’t have like, a black part in their mouth
How come David Errigo Jr. not voicing Oswald in this game?
He was always voiced by Frank Welker in the first game.
Cause this isn’t the second game.
@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi I thought Frank Welker was Oswald in 2? Was it David? I met him at a con back in May, he was pretty cool
@@LeopoldLitchensteinI was Frank.
David Errigo Jr. Is from that new racing game
@@CosmicSponge2004 Ah ok
This makes the Wii version not look so bad for such an older game but I played the demo for rebrush. It was really nice.
Strange, of all the prop changes just immediately visible.
Take from someone who's never played this game.
Part way through I noticed I was naturally staring at the new version way more. Every time I glance at the left I'd kinda shudder and look back to the right lol
The new version has stronger lighting so the eye is naturally drawn to it
I swear every remake that's made all anyone complains about is the lighting. Like, no shit lighting is a huge reason why games look so good now. Of course, they are gonna use it. Thank god for personal settings, but I ig everyone forgets that
Now thats a remaster
They fixed the murky environment and brightened up the color palette. This is a big win.
Amazing considering both versions are three tech generations apart.
Gamers when it looks different:
Epic mickey 🤝 Lolipop chainsaw
Had the best remastered versions from de 2024
I played the Demo on my
Xbox Series X and it's amazing that I'm going to buy it when it comes out. 🤩
Only thing I don't like is how the inside of Mickey and Oswalds mouths aren't black. Makes it really difficult to tell their expressions when the inside of their mouths are just the same color as their face.
Yeah, that's the major thing that stands out to me in the comparison. Weird choice.
I don't get the complaints. Would people rather like it be stuck on a console with Tacky controls?
Any one else notice audio errors at the beginning of this demo with the mad doctors killer machine thing?
The highly detailed attractions look stunning!!!🤩🤩🤩
Missing the jagged edges, rusty appearance and warm colors of the original.
It looks gorgeous and is very detailed, but not scary, dark or intimidating.
Xenoblade 1's remake did the same thing. A lot of the charm of the original games came from the grit and jaggedness of the designs. Mechon look like shiny toys instead of scary killer robots.
bro what? man just turn down your gamma level if you want it to be dark. and just say that you want bad hardware limitations
The reason is because it's no longer wii-era rendering, meaning they can afford a much higher poly count.
Now that’s what you call a remaster!
This is what you call a remake silly!
Its a remake. Completely redone in new engine
I definitely love how the new art style makes the game more Macob and dark, it’s like they got Tim Burton to help with this game
The mad doctor's origins seems kinda odd to me, if I recall correctly, wasn't he just a nightmare mickey had years ago, meaning that he'd theoretically be not real, and yet he's here in the flesh(so to speak), wouldn't that mean that he's practically a lining nightmare incarnate...I could just be overthinking it.
He's still a cartoon that showed up in a cartoon, regardless of the context of his character in the cartoon he appeared in
Epic Mickey lore is quite the confusing lore, in the one cutscene where Gus shows Mickey the old cartoons Oswald was in, Mickey says "He was an actor?", and Horace and Clarabelle mention the cartoons they were in. Yet, they're still described as Toons that actually experienced those events, yet they also acted in cartoons similar to those events. It's very confusing.
fr
So the world outside Wasteland is never truly explored, but it's hinted that it's a sorta "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" kind of world, where toons "act" in cartoons, and humans watch the cartoons. When a toon becomes forgotten, they eventually fade away to this wasteland, a safe haven that Yen Sid was creating for forgotten characters.
The Mad Doctor showed up in one cartoon, therefore, he was a "real toon" before becoming forgotten and ending up in the wasteland.
One of my nitpicks about this, after playing the demo, is how they didn't keep the cartoon drawing of mickey for the health ui. Another thing I noticed during the guardians tutorial cutscene, they still kept Mickey doing the motion you do on the Wii instead. I don't think they'll change it since it's a small detail and the fact that it is made in a 2D animation and not 3D making it a bit harder to add major changes, but one thing I feel they should have done in this is mickey doing the movements while holding his brush instead of, well nothing.
While I think the original is more nostalgic, the rebrush definitely still looks like great fun
Finally they've brought this game to more modern consoles. I've owned a physical copy of epic mickey the power of two for years now and never played it yet because i don't have a nintendo wii lmao. I'm looking forward to playing this on my PS5.
I guess it's called a Remake and not a Remaster which is why there's a lot of things added, removed and redesigned instead of being higher quality.
The art style absolutely holds up, but anyone who says the original controls and camera are better havent played it since they were kids.
As someone that didn’t get that far in the game the first time I played as a kid and want to play now it looks good, but I don’t like the change of the robot’s eye. Straight up the 1st one was way creepier and I actually like that. The second one looks a bit generic, if the texture was better quality and they added more realism to it, I feel like it could have been slightly better, but the uncanny shape of the elongated form In the first one (made to resemble an eye behind a socket without the head) 8:58 just felt better.
I’m seeing a ton of changes that they made. Some are fine, like changing the table that Mickey is strapped to, but then why get rid of the chalk board behind the mad scientist that shows his plan to take Mickeys heart? Theres little details that they edited or switched out that seem unnecessary
Looks alright visually, some of that tone is lost though for sure. There are oddly a couple of scenes where the Wii one flat out looks better artistically. I also really do not like Oswalds new model, something about the mouth.
Damn they went all in for this one
IT'S ON THE PS5?! HOW IS EVERYONE BORN WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE?!
This game NEVER looked any better in HD and 4K!!
I would say some things were made a little worse, but a lot of things were made a lot better. It's interesting that a lot of textures look like more realistic materials, yet they seem to have lost a lot of their gritty texture. Feels odd to say that a clearly lower resolution texture feels mmore detailed. But the really good lighting, and some of the asset redesigns are so much better. The door being the elephant that really hits that Small World aesthetic was, in my opinion, a BIG improvement, for example.
there is an example of "lower resolution textures having more details than newer high res ones" and its things like patterns, scratches, roughness, art, being missing in disgaea PC's "new" map textures
How come they still have that gibberish dialogue instead of voice acting in the remastered
Because Mickey was too busy
I think it’s trying to stay more faithful to the original, plus having gibberish dialogue is still has its charm over actual voice acting
After hearing the sequel, I'm honestly happy it doesn't have voice acting.
Sometimes, voice acting is not needed, and this is one of those times.
Now we need epic mickey 2 remastered
I rented this game for the Wii when I was a kid, never finished it since I had to return it lol
Shows you the power of memory - the PS5 graphics is how I remember the game looking on the Wii, despite the fact we're seeing a clear difference straight from the Wii. Funny how your memory messes with you.
Hmmm, can't tell if this is a remake or a remaster. Could be either. Was this game rebuilt from the ground up (remake), or did they just build and retexture on top of the original code (remaster)?
I never played this game and barely seen much of this game besides some promotional media and very small snippets of the cutscenes however, I do enjoy some aspects from both versions.
For instance, I like the way the scientist in the original looks as he looks more sickly. I also like the original lighting in the first one as I personally like the green and yellow hues seen in a lot of older games (I know the lighting can be changed in the newer one but I’m referring to its untouched state). However, I also prefer the animation from the newer one as it’s more understandably polished. Furthermore, I also like the updates on some objects/elements like the updated mechanical eye, the knights, the sparkle effects, the ink that comes from Mickey, and more, plus the ink monster looks cooler.
Are these real time cutscenes? I thought the Wii was fmv but i could be wrong
I can see why there’s complaints. Having not played either, I see things in the video where the Wii looks better than the PS5. The boss on the Wii looks scarier, has a very Swiss Army knife look to it where as the ps5’s knife looks like a cheap knock off. The lighting is better all around on the Wii version. More colours used, background objects have lights that the ps5 version is missing, the lighting the boss has coming from the eye just looks better on the wii. The PS5 has some better textures but then there’s a lot of textures that look better in the Wii version. Especially the stained glass windows. In the one cut scene, the blackboard showing mickey on it is hidden in the background on the PS5 but is prominent on the Wii which adds to the atmosphere. The Oswald statue has a black and white appearance on the Wii but gold on the PS5. Oswald’s being black and white makes more sense. The PS5 uses most all the same animations but I noticed a few times where the Wii’s camera was better placed to show off the animation. The red chest opening had a very Zelda look to it with the way the camera was pointed but on PS5 the same animation had a different feel because the camera was moved.
The second stage area with the rides, the PS5 version wins on better ride graphics but loses with how bad the stage looks overall vs the Wii. Also, I had no idea the Wii would look so good with how it handles particles and lighting. Considering it wasn’t known for having the greatest particle effects, it’s curious why the PS5 version isn’t able to improve on the particle effects. In many areas the Wii with its sloppier starting point for the particle effect looks way better then the siphon like look on the PS5.
the torment of mickey got me like
💀💀💀
I love absurd comparisons
It’s a bit annoying how they removed some design elements to make things look “cleaner”. The doctor no longer has stains on his lab coat, the eye robot now just looks like a generic glass eyeball thing and not the human looking eye inside a lens, etc.
It’s always other mascots getting tortured like Sonic,Mario,Mickey 😔
I'm loving it, but there's something off. The fact that they are missing the inner black part of their mouth makes it look weird. I hope thay it's just some early gameplay or something
It's the demo.
It's the demo, though it's an easy fix they could easily fix it at any time even after launch, it doesnt bother me though
If they don't fix it it wont ruin the game of course, is just something I noticed
@@bryanduder3420 Agreed, so far I really like the character designs they look cute and colorful which was the intent for these characters, but it's not like I wont be able to take them seriously
I can't wait for this game
The actual game // The game as I remembered it
Is this wii version comparison emulated? It looks pretty high resolution at least on my phone lol
This is looking so good!!! I always wanted to play this game, so it’s an easy Day 1 purchase for me!
The painting geometry effects looks better in the original, cause in the remake they seem to glitch out.
What honestly really matters is the Game play and it plays great...
But I will admit some parts of the game did feel too colorful for me, loke the beginning cutscenein dark beauty castle. While I think the in game version looks WAY More Better!
