Piglets Silent Hill

Since people have been comparing Piglet’s Big Game to Silent Hill 2, I decided to cross them over, lol. I chose Piglet to be with Angela because they are both anxiety ridden characters.

Piglet's Big Game (2003)

Disney's Piglet's Big Game is a 2003 action-adventure game developed by French developer Doki Denki Studio.

The game centers around Piglet and how he tries to overcome his fears. The game is loosely based on Piglet's Big Movie.

Have you guys seen this? Wtf.

PIGLET'S BIG GAME - INTERVIEW WITH PASCAL CAMMISOTTO

Earlier this week I interviewed Pascal (game designer on Piglet's Big Game 2003) about the making of the title that has received a whirlwind of attention online recently. You can find more information in my video that's going up today on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/@eurothug4000/videos

How did the project come into existence?

At that time, Doki Denki studio was already working with Disney. 

We had released three PlayStation 1 games with them. Disney was working on the film Piglet's Big Movie and was looking for a studio to develop the video game alongside it. 

I don’t want to say anything inaccurate, but I believe it was, officially, our first PlayStation 2 game released on the market.

If the information I found online is correct, Piglet's Big Movie was released after Piglet's Big Game came out! Were you given any direction by Disney on what the game should be like and if it should be similar to the movie in any way? Or did you have complete freedom in designing the game (story, gameplay etc.) as you wish?

I’m not too sure anymore how everything came together, but I believe Disney didn’t give us access to the film's content. 

They were very secretive (and I think that was quite common at the time). They just wanted a ‘product’ to accompany the movie release. 

All we knew was that it revolved around Piglet. So the game’s story was developed by us (the game design team), as narrative designers didn’t exist back then. 

We had a lot of freedom, both in writing and game design, and I think that was partly thanks to Disney's producer, Risa Cohen. She really supported our decisions in the interest of quality.

What do you specifically remember working on for the game? (Certain levels, overall gameplay loop etc.?)

I remember several things: the horror gameplay, which was completely new for this target audience; the hour of real-time cinematics that I directed with the animation team; the cameras in each room that I placed as best as I could to follow the action; and finally, the overly difficult combat (which I wanted to tone down, but wasn’t allowed to. ^^). 

The atmosphere in the studio was fantastic, and I genuinely recall a sense of pride in what we were doing. 

Yes, it was a kids’ game, and yes, sometimes it was cheesy, but we still had so much fun making it, as if we were making it for ourselves. It was truly a great project.

Do you remember what the reception was to the game at the time of its release?

Yes, the game was very well received. It was considered by reviewers to be a very good children’s game. At that time, many licensed games (especially those for kids) were rushed and uninspired. 

That wasn’t our philosophy at the studio. We wanted to make a good game, even if the target audience was very young. 

I think that’s why the game surprised people with its strong approach and quality.

Have you seen some of the posts about Piglet's Big Game recently? What was your reaction to seeing them if so?

Absolutely not. I just found out, and of course, I’m thrilled that it’s being talked about again!

People online are talking about the "horror" aspects of the game, were these intentional? Was the aim to have a game that had elements of the horror genre?

When Disney spoke with the studio about this game, Marc Albinet (the head of game design, my boss) immediately wanted to make ‘a Resident Evil for kids.’ 

I believe he even went to Disney to pitch the idea, and he must have been convincing because they said yes. 

Since we didn’t have access to the movie’s script, we created a story centered around Piglet. It focused on his lack of self-confidence and the courage he would need to help his friends, who were asleep and trapped in a nightmare. 

The horror element was tied to these nightmares that the player would need to resolve.

Are there any links or anything that you'd like me to mention so people can find you online, or any projects you're working on?

You can find me on X (@KaMiZoTo), but I rarely tweet. Since my time at Doki Denki, I've gained quite a bit of experience, and now I have my own studio:

We released in 2020 "There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension", which I recommend everyone try without watching any let’s plays to avoid spoilers! (The experience relies on surprise.)

We’re also working on a new secret project with the same meta spirit!

A big thank you to Pascal for taking the time to talk about the game!

googling "how old is piglet" with tears in my eyes cause he does not belong in those silent hill situations they put him in in Piglets Big Game

[b1ueins1de]

Definitely wasn’t a crossover I was expecting but I love it anyway!

How is it I’ve managed to save and keep EVERY SINGLE PS2 GAME I USED TO HAVE AS A KID EXCEPT my Winnie the Pooh game??? 😭 Damn it.

I never beat it, the farthest my grandma and I could get in it was halfway through Rooh’s dream (the bit just after you play as Tigger sneaking past the Woozels and Heffalumps) but I’ve seen it being revived recently and was like DANG KINDA WANNA RELIVE MY CHILDHOOD GLAD I STILL HAVE THAT GAME but nope no. I DO NOT still have that game.

Maybe I left it at mother’s house in the many boxes during one of the many moves….. hrmmm…. though she’s like four hours away now. Double damn it.

…..At least I still have Oogie’s Revenge, Save the Homeland, and Secret of the Cursed Mask.

Consider me finding out about "Piglet's Big Game" aka "Silent Hill for kids" to be one of the greatest discoveries of Monday.

Считаю одним из главных достижений понедельника - это открытие для себя Piglet's Big Game, то есть "Сайлента Хилла для детей".

So That Piglet Game

If you've been on Tik Tok or Twitter lately you might have seen clips from a certain PS2 Winnie the Pooh game that has an odd atmosphere about it. Piglet's Big Game is a game based on a movie of a similar name and of course follows Piglet. Looking at gameplay clips it starts feeling strange, an eerie feeling like Piglet might be in actual danger.

This game feels like it was recycled from a horror game. The lighting, the music, even camera angles, it all feels straight from an old resident evil game. As to why it's like this well one of the directors came out and said it was intentional. They were apparently inspired by Luigi's Mansion.

Now you might be thinking, "Ducky you magnificent stud, this game sounds a bit interesting where can I get a copy?" Well you lovey reader, you can get it off of eBay for the low low price of $150!

Yeah that's the problem with retro games suddenly going viral, it comes with some high costs. If you do want a copy, I say wait for the meme to run its cycle, it should go back down in a couple of months. Until then we must live vicariously through let's play channels.

Se ha hecho tan viral que su precio ascendió a los 300$

Recently, an old ps2 game has gone viral. That's Piglet's game. On the face of it, it looks like as a positive Disney game about Piglet and his friends. However, it has a strong resemblance to Silent Hill 2. Some moments, even music has the same atmosphere and vibes. So I've decided to dress up the main characters as Winnie the Pooh and Piglet:D
