DuckTales 3 game not wanted by Disney
If Warren Spector had his way, a new Duck Tales game (Duck Tales 3?) would be in the works next, after he has finished his Epic Mickey project.
This was revealed in an interview with Game Informer . . . although it seems that Disney is down on the idea of a Duck Tales game. For now anyway. I think it will all depend on how Epic Mickey sells. Personally, I’d be interested to see a new DS Duck Tales, as I have fond memories of the original NES game.
Here is the section of the GI interview. Duck Tales is mentioned at the bottom.
GI: Why the Wii?
WS: Well, think about it. Would you really want to tackle convincing Halo or Grand Theft Auto players that they want to be Mickey Mouse? Would you really want to do that? In terms of finding a congenial audience, let’s go for a platform that’s known for Mario and Link and now Sonic. Come on. Honestly, with the unit sales on the hardware, it was kind of a lucky happenstance. We made the call to go to the Wii long before it was clear that the Wii was going to be, at least for now, the best-selling platform.
It was about going where the audience is and going somewhere where they’re going to accept a visual style that is more cartoony than people are used to seeing and where we don’t feel obliged to throw in every shader on the planet. “Look at the normal maps and shaders.” We don’t have to do that kind of stuff. It’s the right platform for this project, for sure.
WS: Also, I want to do a Duck Tales game. Convince the world that a Duck Tales game needs to be made. I can’t convince anybody at Disney to let me do a Duck Tales game. How can that be?
