Aftrunner Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Name: Alice: Madness Returns Developer: EA Release date: TBA Platforms: TBC Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her terribly burned—and her mind terribly scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, struggling to come to terms with her demons by slipping into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release--yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event. In Alice: Madness Returns, Alice is released from the asylum to a London psychiatrist’s care. As nightmarish hallucinations continue to haunt her and invade her reality, she seeks to understand her torment in order to recover herself. Her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear and neuroses prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Her relocation to London seems only to add to their number and intensity. Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge. Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 That looks absolutely sublime! I liked the first one (story, setting and art direction anyway) too so really am looking forward to this one. This actually looks like the movie Burton failed to make. :| Edit First pic is now my new wallpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilsOwn Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 so what was the first Alice like? this doesnt seem like survival horror, so just an action game in a twisted world? or does it (hopefully) have some psychic undertones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 so what was the first Alice like? this doesnt seem like survival horror, so just an action game in a twisted world? or does it (hopefully) have some psychic undertones? The first one was a third-person action/platformer set in a surreal twisted world. It wasn't technically a horror game (definitely not "survival horror") but the atmosphere, characters and especially the music made it damn creepy. And yes, there are strong psychological undertones. Alice herself is a patient in a mental asylum and starts the game with bandaged wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 UE3 FTW!!! I'm happy to see this. I thoroughly enjoyed the first Alice game even if the Quake 3 powered Alice handled like a hovercraft with magnets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lithuvien Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Psycho Alice! Me likes. I did not know that there even was a first game.

Aftrunner Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 To be honest the gameplay in Alice was nothing special. Yep. It was all about the atmosphere and the art direction which was quite sublime IMO. Who did the voice of the Cheshire cat in the first one? They need him back. He was creepy and omniscient at the same time. A really good combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its common knowledge that Alice In Wonderland (in all its incarnations) is a psychedelic drug trip. Who did the voice of the Cheshire cat in the first one? They need him back. He was creepy and omniscient at the same time. A really good combo. Yeah he needs to be back. No idea who did the voice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
