Trailers: Alice: Madness Returns: Story
- Thread starter Team Hollywood
- Start date
I liked it and I'm actually looking forward to buying this now, but the voice actor for Alice was... annoying...
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.
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.

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.
