SO WHO'S GETTING IT TOMORROW

If the game is out in Europe tomorrow, then yes!!

One thing I don't like about this remake is the new jumping animation for Mickey. It looks less epic when he doesn't stretch his leg and arms like he did in the original. And it looks floaty. Or jerky. Can't decide which. The original had slow and graceful jumps. SO I WON'T BUY IT ANYMORE!!1 Just kidding. The game looks excellent so I can live with the new, less nicelooking jumps.

Interesting, someone can show any new videos or images here? Since we only got this very old kotaku news. :-/

The PC port is really bad, locked 30fps and upscaled 720p....
luckly I found quite a few fixes, Its a shame they put the 30fps limit because I truly appreciated the animation work after I patched the game to 60fps

In all its a technical bad, but with Google it's a good port

I tried the demo.   The controls are really, really loose.  And that's really a bummer since it requires lots of precision platforming.  I'll stick with the original.

I've downloaded and played a few stages.
Just as with Duck Tales Remastered (and years ago Dracula X Chronicles), I think this isn't more than a mere curiosity.
I'll have the original games (Duck Tales, RoB, CoI) any day over the remakes.
I think this will always happen when you take an excellent 2D game and remake it with modern graphics.

Post some images, pretty please

I thought the demo was pretty fun. It's visually very impressive and I like that it's not always strictly a sidescroller, that at key points you can move in all directions. I think it's nifty.

But where the controls become an issue for me is the Crash Bandicoot style running away from the apple. It works in Crash because the controls are so tight and you can pick up all the items, but I had the damndest time picking up items AND dodging logs the whole way down.

They would be photographs of my computer screen, but OK, I'll do it tomorrow.
I will try the PS3 version, because the PC version has an input lag of half second or one second, and that makes it unplayable in a platform game.

You know what the "PrintScreen" button does right? You can try to press it, paste it in a image editor like Paint and see if it works. Now if you will play it in a PS3, yeah, phtographs will be needed :p

[Pfil]

I can't use PrintScreen when in full screen mode, it pastes all black background images.

[Lelygax]

Yeah, some games do that, what a shame

[Pfil]

Anyone here had the same problem with the input lag in PC?
When I press a button, Mickey does that command like a second later.

[Lelygax]

This game is running fine apart from that? If yes, then it hardly can be your PC fault.

[Pfil]

It works perfectly apart from that. I could run Bioshock Infinite in my PC, I don't think it is the computer, it must be something from the rip or a mistake from the game.
It runs OK in PS3, though. But the controls are better in the original.

[KaZudra]

could an old version, from what I read up the v1.0 of the game is pretty much garbage
