A little over a year ago Alice: Madness Returns hit stores, the sequel to the popular game American McGee’s Alice. It received mixed to positive reviews, and was very popular among fans of the original game. In the end, Alice: Madness Returns was a successful game. Upon completing the game I only had one question left in my mind, “So what comes next?”. After a bit of research I found out that the possibility of a third Alice game has been addressed by Alice’s creator, American McGee."-Rantgaming.com
Reviewing Alice: Madness Returns almost feels like a rite of passage for me. You see, I'm from the same town as the childhood home of Charles Dodgson, better known to you and I by his pen-name, Lewis Carroll. As such, he's a bit of a local culture icon.
I played Alice: Madness Returns for the first time last year. What an amazing game and adventure. It's a huge shame we aren't getting a sequel to it. It absolutely deserves another game.
oh yeah, I remember this game! I remember liking it, but found the platforming to be utterly obnoxious. Loved the world design.
Good review!
Alice: Asylum, the anticipated third game in the Alice series, has been passed on by EA according to American McGee.
I played Alice: Madness Returns for the first time last year and it blew away all my expectations. It's amazing, fun, weird, wonderous, and so much more. A very creative and unique game. It's devastating to hear we aren't getting another Alice game. If EA doesn't want to do another Alice game than sell the license to American McGee.
Shame. Both American Mcgee's Alice and Madness Returns were tremendous games with incredible art direction.
Does American McGee not have enough clout in the industry yet to start his own publishing house? Dude has been around since the early 90s, he worked on Doom II and Quake, AM Alice was a revelation when it came out, and he's had a few other modest hits as well. Does he really need EA?
Of course Sunset Overdrive gets a nod. It's Insomniac!
I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.
Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.
I really hope so! I Love these games!
The weird thing is that he wanted to do Alice 2 for a while and it took EA FOREVER to finally let him friggin do it. This is why I hate publishers these days, they want money, they dont want fun games. Alice 2 was easily one of the best games I played the entire year it came out, and yet EA blew it off to hype up their FPS titles....
Like he said, EA (and any third party publisher) doesn't care about innovation or the game itself, they just care about how much money it'll make....It sucks. Just put the minimum amount of money into this, you know it'll make it back, look at Alice 2. Whats the problem with releasing fun games? Not everything needs to be the next blockbuster title.
I wish McGee owned the rights so he could shop the idea elsewhere, then suddenly EA would wake up and publish it.....I have a feeling the only reason EA greenlit Alice 2 was because of Tim Burtons movie, so unless they make another movie I think this one is screwed....
I enjoyed the last game... Though I hyped it too much. Anyway I welcome a third game.
I really hope this happens although it wont be game of THE year I found both games to be very entertaning, and a great twist on the Alice series,make it happen.
Media failed the game . They nitpicked it to death , while it's plot and art direction was easily as good as their Enslaved darling , even better WHILE sporting an actually way superior gameplay and some challenge .
Would be awesome to see another one.....& just to have the platformer genre represented a bit more with another Alice game, as nobody makes platformers anymore, I mean apart from Nintendo & there hero character Mario, there really is no PS3, 360 & PC representation in this genre anymore. It's sad, for consoles, this genre is what made home consoles & what made home consoles popular.
