Trailers: Alice: Madness Returns: Story

[zerofitz]

i heard from an earlier press release there was going to be a release of it on xbox live and if you bought the game you would get it for free. though this was some time ago that i heard this. who knows.

 

[JamesBr]

Awesome trailer. A graphic design team somewhere was clearly jerking off

 

[Timmehexas]

I liked it and I'm actually looking forward to buying this now, but the voice actor for Alice was... annoying...

 

[Skeleon]

Sounds similar to American McGee's Alice, which was nifty. The art-style is very interesting, though I'm not too sure about the gore. McGee's got by on creepy visuals with very little gore, which I find to be better, more subtle.

Seeing how this is a sequel to American McGee's Alice, the similarities aren't surprising.

Holy shit...I'm not entirely sure I would want to play this, on the account that it looks scarier than Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Didn't see that, where does it say that?

That's a nice trailer. Pat that trailer making guy on the back. Now what's the game about?

I don't see the point of trailers that show no gameplay footage. Games aren't a medium that can be conveyed completely visually so trailers are already a poor man's advertising but when you don't show anything from the game it becomes totally unrelated to the game. It's a separate enterprise with its own workings outside the game. Trailers like this seem to be to a game what the fanfic is to the novel.

 

[Me55enger]

vaguely similar to the Dark Cloud/ dark chronicle games methinks.

Yeah, i need my yearly dose of spinechllingly morbid and creepy.

 

[uguito-93]

well, dont know about everyone else but Im sufficiently traumatized for the week

[For.I.Am.Mad]

So Alice is going to be what Epic Mickey should have been. Very good trailer by the way.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

Holy mindfuck Batman!!!

Looks pretty awesome

 

[00slash00]

she had ANOTHER breakdown? damn this girl has issues...

wonder if all the characters will be resurrected, or if its an entirely new cast. wouldnt be the same without the Cheshire cat

 

[ArmorArmadillo]

Is anyone else sick of the "dark and grim and evil Alice and Wonderland adaptation" fad?

The creepiness of the original came from the fact that everything was so surreal and difficult to relate to. An adaptation like this has no weight because stuff is creepy for obvious reasons. A creepy bloody guy waving claws around is scary for an obvious reason, you know exactly what he's about, there's no mystery there.

 

[idodo35]

thats gona be one creepy and awsome game...

 

[kayisking]

Alright, that was creepy, it's like if Tim Burton went mad. Oh, and whoever uses a captain obvious picture while quoting my posst shall FACE MY WRATH!

 

[Lamnidae]

Whoaaah! This is a dream come true! Can't wait 'till I can wander again in McGee's Wonderland!

 

[TakerFoxx]

Didn't see that, where does it say that?

It doesn't mention it in the preview (though it probably should), but the Mad Hatter with the buzzsaw scene was kind of a giveaway. But it's pretty easy to check elsewhere.

While I AM sick of this fad I'm going to give American McGee a pass here.

He did it first and actually did it fairly well compared to most of the "dark and grim Wonderland" adaptions. The first game actually included details that showed an attention to details from the books that most folks ignored. Plus he kept up with this "victorian asylum" motif that added a lot to the horrific nature of the game.

I'm just hoping he doesn't go screwing it up in this one.
