Alice: Asylum, the anticipated third game in the Alice series, has been passed on by EA according to American McGee.

Wow EA you guys should do it frfr

For anyone interested in seeing what the third Alice game (Asylum) could have looked like here is a link to the design bible that outlines the art, game-play, and story for the game in great detail. Such a shame.

Excuse me for being blunt but fk you ea.

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.

robtion755d ago

He tried that approach. They won't sell the license. They say Alice is an important part of their game catalogue. They refuse to actually make another game in the series but won't let anyone else do it. Ridiculous.

IamTylerDurden1755d ago

Shame. Both American Mcgee's Alice and Madness Returns were tremendous games with incredible art direction.

sadraiden755d ago

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?

ZwVw755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

Obviously not. His studio Spicey Horse was shut down and nowadays, he's been spending most of his time being an unapologetic CCP shill. How ironic for a guy whose first name is American.

shinoff2183755d ago (Edited 755d ago )

Ea owns it

Also zw sure thing 👍 smh

IamTylerDurden1755d ago

He does not. That's all old news. Man was creative and deserves to run a studio. Alice was sublime.

Ex-CoD producer tells devs to “be more like Larian, less like Activision”

Rubin: "Thank you! A lot of games, Call of Duty included just focus on how to make the most money possible out of the player base. They rely heavily on FOMO marketing and EOMM matches. But I feel like it used to be just more about the quality of the game which would drive players to play. And that means making the game more player centric. i.e. less engagement based tactics and higher quality experiences for the players. Better maps, modes etc. In other words your game should have a high player count because it's good and people want to play it rather than people playing it because the game has a $250M marketing budget. Everything is just said is very simplified as it would take too long to really go into it. One last simple analogy. Be more like Larian, less like Activision."

Lol the producer of xdviant a cod clone in every shape and way, including the micro & fomo is piss off his game getting shut down.

Sonyslave31d 1h ago

Yet you work for another scummy company like Ubisoft that fight to flood single player games with useless battle passes, predatory microtransactions and to take away player ownership of the games they pay for.

This twitter post exposed this fool
