Let's Discuss: Mickey's New Face.

[Kalebninja 188]

Is it just me or is Mickey ugly as hell in that new screenshot? He no longer looks like someone i wanna hug. 

 

[Headphone Jack 1,147]

he looks kinda like he does in Disney Infinity. I think it's the mouth. There's something about it.

[KeybladeLordCheeseCurd 1,542]

He looks more like his Disney Infinity self. I'm fine with that.

[MythrilMagician 6,963]

This just in: Unreal Engine 4 Mickey causes disliking towards his new looks.

[Enix 995]

He basically look like his Disney Infinity self.

I'm not excited about this at all.

[gingienator 278]

Give Square a break

The game is still "Now in Development"

His model might look better by the time the game is out

I mean they fixed Sora's face since people said he looked weird in the E3 trailer.

[Forever 3,550]

To be honest, all the models in that shot look a bit unfinished. Their bodies look good, yet plastic and still, like they haven't had much detail put into them yet....Just look at the Mickey model's texture compared to that of..hmm....Eraqus and Y. Xehanort's for example. There is a HUGE difference, and it's easy to tell which models have had more put into them.

 

Just wait till we start getting trailers next year. None of them will be looking "weird"

[-Justin- 2,111]

I think he looks just fine.

[ShadowKeyblade 219]

It's all in the lighting. Sora and Goofy looked odd at some points in the E3 trailer with their coloration, too. I guess they haven't perfected the lighting yet since we've seen it a lot. The Models are actually pretty good, though.

 

BTW, here's a comparison pic for ya

[PrinceNoctis 1,011]

I like him better like that. I think he looks alright It's probably because he's not smiling that you don't want to hug him. Honestly, I don't see the similarities to Disney Infinity's version of Mickey.

Riku and Kairi are definite improvements here.  Just a slight bit of work needing to be done on Mickey, luckily for everyone, Square will be working on this game for some time yet, so not even this is final.

[Ghost 1,857]

his face LITERALLY looks like an ass

[KeybladeMasterBalo 504]

I think they look good but the lightning does seem a little bit... off. But maybe when we actually see them moving and acting we will watch them differently

[Svard 164]

I'm sure there will be some visually redeeming moments. Well, hope, really.

[Dave 5,715]

His mouth seems set a bit low.

[Shulk 8,623]

The entire screenshot looked really bad, honestly. Seeing people draw comparisons to Disney Infinity explains a lot, since I can't stand that game's artstyle at all.

[Kaweebo 3,617]

Yeah, he's just not smiling. The original Mickey model has him constantly smiling, which has always been kind of weird to me. 

[Noctis Caelum 2]

I think Disney made them change his face. I don't think Square had a choice

[Hero of Light XIV 2,381]

He looks fine. They might touch him up a bit, sure, but he'll look better once he starts smiling. If anything, this scene should be Yen Sid and Mickey discussing Terra, Ventus, and Aqua to Riku and Kairi (and supposedly Sora...?), so obviously this would be a sore subject with Mickey, which is why he wouldn't be smiling in this scene. It's likely that he'd look more like his usual self once he's all happy and cheery. Maybe they might touch things up a little more as they continue to develop, I do still see some room for polish on the models, as far as texturing and smaller details go (like that dang dark stripe that was on Riku's vest that's gone all of a sudden, it's bugging me to no end...). But there's still only so much a screenshot can tell us, we don't know how Mickey's new face works, how his new mouth moves. He used to be rendered in a constant smiling look, with his facial structure not changing too much whenever he talks. Maybe this new look is to allow him to show more change in expression with his face whenever he smiles or frowns and whatnot. I'll agree, he doesn't look like his cheerful huggable self in this scene, but again, this isn't exactly a cheerful scene either. If anything it would kind of be inappropriate to give him a smiling face for that moment.

It's his mouth. He'll definitely look different in the final product. Especially in KH3 which is gonna be more further progressed.

[KH4Real 749]

I always hoped he would look like in the KH2 secret ending.

But this one looks also nice.

[- Existic - 206]

I noticed this, as well.  His cheeks are a lot higher, his nose is smaller, and his pupils seem a bit smaller too. I really hope they do something with it, or we get to see it in a different, more animated scene.

 

I mean they fixed Sora's face since people said he looked weird in the E3 trailer.

I'm extremely positive Sora's face only looked weird because of the angle and the lighting. People just weren't taking that into enough consideration, though it is possible they could of changed something.

To all the people who say that Mickey looks like his Disney Infinity form, I respectfully think you all are NUTS! DI Mickey has much more style to his look.

My thoughts exactly!

Thank you so much for showing the comparison pics, because now it looks like Mickey got botox so he could look good for KH3. See what happens when you take too long to make a proper sequel Nomura!?!?!?!?

[Connected 978]

Kinda dislike the new Graphics more and more.

[Drake'ro 11]

He ain't smiling, I think this is the problem. He's assuming a serious expression in that pic. Just sayin'.
