Ask Me Anything: Alice: Madness Returns

count me in.... 

the combat seems so out of place 

Am I the only one seeing stuttering?

Game is actually looking good. I didn't think Spicy Horse could (potentially) pull it off.

dont come out the same day as duke.

" Instead of games about Alice in Wonderland, they should be called "All Ice" in Wonderland, and you play as Ice Cube and/or Ice T.  "

all ice? do you mean the ancient egyptian mummy frozen using ice 9? "

Sorry for sounding girly, but this looks so PRETTY.

This game looks great. Can't wait for it.

That last boss felt like Burton Zelda. 

Amazing. It look exactly like the original (That's a good thing)

Looks so good. It is already leagues better than the $1,000,000,000 grossing Alice movie. This looks genuinely fantastic whereas the movie (which I watched on Blu-ray on a 50" TV with 5.1 speakers) bored the shit out of me constantly. Nothing in that movie impressed me visually at all; something this game already wins at. Can't wait to see more.

Is the first game available for purchase anywhere (prefereably digitally)?  I looked on Steam and surprisingly they don't have it.

Looks cool, I may get this.

This was something I already had the money set aside for the minute it was announced.  After watching that video, I can say that the money is still set aside.

Played the first title through and loved its quirkiness, looking forward to this one.

Looks absolutely fantastic. Was completely skeptical despite loving the first game, but daaamn

Game looks awesome!

I wasn't so sure about this game but looking at it changed my mind completely. And the hair looks fucking FANTASTIC.

IMAGINE WHAT THAT HAIR TECH COULD DO TO TRIPLE H. SOMEONE GET JEFF AND THQ ON THE LINE.

I was wondering when this would come back, They were all like hey, we made a game that was pretty cool and Chris did this awesome music and now we shall....disappear,  must say, I am excited.

Looks great. I loved the first Alice and I'm on board for this one.

Never played the original Alice but really liking the look of this one. Alice herself looks particularly well done (that hair affect is great)

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo psyched!  i've loved Alice since it first came out, and have been dying for a sequel the past 10+ years...the story, the setting, the graphics, the music, the voices, the aura, the gameplay, the quake engine, the decade of rumours and speculation, the movie that never was....aw man, June 14th is going to be the greatest gaming day for me in so long, with both this and DNF dropping.  these two games are honestly the two games i've been salivating for the most over my gaming lifetime, with Starcraft 2 at #3.

I'm pleasantly intrigued.  I want to see more.  I'm a big fan of Alice In Wonderland so this dark, twisted spin piques my interest quite sufficiently.  I never played the original Alice, but I did spend some time watching play-through videos a while back. 

So excited for this game... it's been 10 long years waiting for it.

I had pretty low expectations for this game considering American McGee's recent track record, but that video was pretty hot.

Man, my girlfriend is going to love this game if they pull it off right. It has a great art style, and the way the dress and hair move is really impressive. Some of the best video game hair I've ever seen, and longer hair is a lot harder than short hair. Super happy that this is looking so good. I wish they had commented on the framerate. It looks very smooth here, but as the player doesn't do 60FPS, but the last game play trailer they released was in 60, I wonder if the game runs at 60 locked. Cause it would be pretty awesome if it did.

Floating platforms moving vertically and horizontally at a completely flat angle is so boring! I'm really excited for this game, but it's 2011! No more room for lazy level design!

I'm dowwwwn.

Holy crap, this game looks awesome!

I never played, or even heard of the first game, but this looks pretty cool. And wow, the hair animation looks amazing.

Day One get for me.

I was just thinking that I could go for some good old 3D platforming, and if she has a French maid outfit I'm definitely in.

Wow.  Looks good. 

I wonder how I haven't heard about this before. I want this badly. I'll also going to echo the hair sentiments, it looks super well done. 

" That is the best hair I have ever seen in a game. EVER.
"

One of the nice touches of the first game was that the actual environments changed based on what difficulty you chose. Like, the platforming would be more demanding the higher difficulty you were at, etc. Gives great re-play value. Would like to know if that's still the case with this one. Regardless, I'm interested. Also: video game hair.

Sold.

Holy shit this looks awesome! I love the animations, especially the hair animation. CAN'T.WAIT.TO.PLAY.IT.

P.S. - I'm also happy that I'm not the only one who is going crazy over the hair animation. :)

Madness is back, in pog-form!

First reaction on seeing the environment: Oh,look, it's Planescape!

The hair DOES look great.
