The Return of American McGee's Alice

EA announces partnership with Spicy Horse to make "the Return of Alice"
2009-02-19 21:13

The long-awaited follow-up to the 2000 PC classic "Alice" is in the works.
At the DICE Summit today in Las Vegas, EA CEO John Riccitiello announced during his session "Don't Fear the Changes" on taking creative risks that EA and Spicy Horse will be teaming up to create a follow-up to the 2000 PC game classic, Alice.

Currently titled "the Return of American McGee's Alice", the game is still in pre-production and won't be completed for some time. You can visit the official site on Spicy Horse to sign up for updates, and stay tuned in to the American McGee forum or American's blog for news as it breaks.

And Kotaku gets first dibs on the report:

"Electronic Arts is teaming up with Spicy Horse and American McGee to create a sequel to Electronic Art's PC classic from 2000.
Currently titled The Return of American McGee's Alice, the game is still in pre-production and "won't be completed for some time." The game is in development for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

"This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who've kept the Alice flame alive," said American McGee, senior creative director at Spicy Horse. "EA gave us creative latitude and support on the original game which resulted in something beautiful and daring. This trip through the looking glass promises to be even more exciting."

"EA Partners is thrilled to team up with American McGee and Spicy Horse on the next installment of the Alice franchise," said David DeMartini, senior vice president and general manager of EA Partners. "American McGee's interpretation of Alice was an instant classic, and EA Partners is ready to help him bring his innovative vision for the franchise to even darker, more exciting places."

What are you hoping for from this game? A rework of the original? New ground broken? Multiplayer?"

Sounds like potentially awesome of course, but I won't dare get my hopes up until it is actually released and I have tried it.
Let's go awesome. ;-)

Wow. This is an amazing new development. I wasn't even expecting a sequel for Alice.

The problem with sequels is that a lot of times they end up being worse than the original. But since American McGee is still with the project, let's hope he doesn't let it go wrong.

Let's hope they get Chris Vrenna to write the score again.

It wouldn't be such a classic without vrenna's score so i hope he's gonna write it again. Lately games that are supposed to be dark are just packed with jump-scenes instead of having constant grim atmosphere so i'm a bit worried about this sequel.

Also, since original was flawless it's gonna be hard to continue it and not to disappoint fans. The pressure on creators will be quite heavy but i hope they won't give up and finish the game. For sure it's worth waiting for, even if they fail it.

This is certainly exciting (and very unexpected), but the fact that American McGee apparently hasn't made a single worthwhile game since the original Alice does have me kind of worried. Although I suppose having EA as the publisher does grant him with better budget and resources than what he had for his other recent games. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. Can't be too bad, if they at least get Vrenna back.

Yay! Brilliant news :-)

What would be really nice in The Return of American McGee's Alice , is a couple of features missed out of the original game, namely a level editor (like UnrealEd or GtkRadiant maybe, or even a simpler one like SimPE), and a multiuser (or even a botmatch/CTF) mode. Multiple Alices would be fun (each in different colour dresses maybe, like UT99), or a char selector (Alice/Cheshire/Hatter/etc.) with maybe adjustable stats...

(Just general waffle from me, really, hehehe)

i don't really like the idea of having a multiplayer mode for such a game..

first i would like to have the team spend all their effort and budget for a singleplayer alice, just to make it as great as possible.
and then on the other hand, a game like alice is something i want to go through alone... a multiplayer mode with several characters from the game, beating up each other for no particular (story-based) reason, in a "world" that's supposed to be wonderland and multiplayer compatible at the same time - it would feel weird to me.

it's alice in wonderland.. not everyone in wonderland

I just clicked at the link for the Spicy Horse hiring section just to have a sad glance at it and realize that i have to become a lot nerdier as soon as possible.

Anyways, it offered some interesting further information:
They seem to start the production in coming may.
Second is that they seem to make use of the Unreal 3 graphics engine, which already looks nice in Bioshock for instance and, in my opinion, keeps a nice balance between quality and system requirements.

Btw, you can get a hi-res version of the
snailfight picture and more interesting works at McGee's Flickr

Holy crap. After ten years... What could possibly happen now? I thought it was over. Red queen is dead. She was let out of the hospital. No more madness. No more conflict? Eh. It better be spectacular- and it better not get released before the film does.

I make some kickin gabber. I am Shyft.

I make some outlandish metal. I am Red Ankh.

I make some schizophrenic avant-garde. I am Philopsycho Lawlawlawl.
