American McGee Alice sequel coming!

[Kosmik]

Who remembers that awesome game? Here's a link to the article for the release of the new with screenies of the old.

Seasoned PC gamers will remember fondly the Quake-engine powered Alice game, helmed by the former id Software designer American McGee. McGee's first entry--American McGee's Alice--hit the PC ten years ago and told an awesomely dark, deranged tale full of monsters, sharp weapons, and blood. That was back in the year 2000, and now more than a decade later, it's getting a sequel.

Electronic Arts and Spicy Horse Games have announced Alice: Madness Returns, designed with the same dark style of the original, but now featuring entirely new visuals, story and game design. Like the first game, it'll be on the PC, but this time it'll also hit the consoles PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 – all in 2011.

EA is going to ruin it. Only thing worse than them right now is Ubisoft and their DRM.

Oh, I don't know. EA has been learning recently (think Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age), especially in regard to enforcing customer-victimising DRM. Don't get me wrong--I'm no fan of EA, but they have been learning.

Ubisoft's ghastly DRM is why I haven't bought a single one of their games since.

Regarding the categorisation of foul publishers, I'll put it like this... Ubisoft is on my absolute ****list, Activision is only fractionally better than them and EA which was once the SecuRom bane of my existence are, so far, soaring into the column of favoured. Their business practises still suck though, which is why they're still considered foul in my books.

My point is just that they are not developing it and that as long as they don't enforce customer-victimising DRM or send off collector's editions only to result in different parts of the world getting tin while others get cheap plastic, then I have no qualm with them.
