@Meatsim: That is probably a tie-in to the dream meaning for teeth falling out, impending doom let's say.

Hate to break it to you, yes this is a tie in to classic literature, no it is not trying to pull a Dante's Inferno. This game has been rumored for a long time and fans of the original Alice game from American McGee have been waiting a long time for this. Sure the original doesn't hold up as well, but it did the dark Alice well for the time it was released. Dante's Inferno was just a bad idea all together...

You might want to see a dentist about all those teeth and blood coming out of your mouth.

Mostly true, but EA has been known to take a chance on something new here and there.  (i.e. Mirror's Edge)

If I were 15, and way into Marvel comics and heavy metal, I might find this trailer compelling. Speaking on a concept level, of course - if it has extremely compelling gameplay, or a well-written story that somehow 
justifies it's arguably juvenile concept, then I might be on-board. From such a brief trailer, it's impossible to say, really.

The original was just kinda "ok" from what i played of it.

@CrazedJoker:  A Retard Skeptic... 
 
Well i guess thats pretty accurate, i am skeptical about things that get retards excited.  
 
Its the sequel to a game had a self contained storyline and narrative closure. It's being released 10 or so years after the original in order to cash in on the success of Tim Burtons Version of Alice and its being published by EA, one of the largest publishers on the world, and a company that don't do niche games liable to alienate large market segments. 
 
This is where you get your "special kind of darkness"? What kind of darkness is special to your type of people? The watered down, sold on a rack at hot topic, "look some blood, we're edgy" kind of darkness?

Yes. All these "edgy" interpretations come across as juvenile. It's like walking into a Hot Topic.

I remember criticizing Dante's Inferno for the same EXACT thing last year and people told me how great that game was gonna be. Those same people never messaged me to tell me how right I was after the game was released. Even if this game ends up good as far as game mechanics go....you SHOULDN'T mess with classic literature like this.

@HooliganTuesday: Don't be a retard skeptic, man.  This is totally what some people are into, like myself. And the thing about this is, you can't just find it everywhere, that rare unusual darkness, and this totally makes me penis move a little.

You know why the first one was so awesome? Because back then there was no emo/hipster culture that crapped everything up.

Aahhh yes finally my excitement is unmeasurable. I loved the first American McGee´s Alice for it's voice acting, story telling and the look of the charters. I hope this one repairs the damage Tim Burton did to Alice world not a bad movie but damn did it suck for me.

Scrapland wasn't McGee's. He was only asked to paste his name on it.

The first game was okay. It was remembered more for it's look than anything else.

Not to be a downer, but outside the atmosphere, the first game was an incredibly linear and relatively tedious third person shooter which is kind of ironic given the supposedly absurd and twisted picture it tried to paint.  Nothing says twisted and imaginative then a nine hour corridor crawl.
