| Quote: | Alice Fans,
Questions for you:
1) If we could get the rights from EA, would you play "Alice 3?"
2) If you'd play "Alice 3," would you back it on Kickstarter?
3) If you said "yes" to those two things, make some noise - I'm trying to gauge interest in case I happen to discuss this with EA during GDC in 2 weeks. The more interest there is, the more seriously they'll take the conversation. |
Please please please you guys respond to his Facebook page if you can, and/or spread the news to other sites!
Alice: Madness Returns was such an amazing game! The pacing was a little off (the game was looooong), but the art was soooo good and the platforming and combat elements were at the very least decent. Those Chinese developers really impressed me!
A Kickstarter probably means a more (or exclusively) PC focused sequel as well (mouse control was bad in AMR..)
I want to see Alice 3 on PC! Who's with me?

lol. Nope. EA now trying to get into kick starter so it can save money?  nope.
He can easily make Alice 3. EA would easily pay for it.

the way i see it, he is using the bad situation ea is in right now during the sim city fiasco to try and get the franchise back from them, so he can develop it independently via kickstarter.
by openly talking about this, he is making sure that the fans will automatically blame ea if the kickstarter doesnt happen.

If you read between the lines he is using the hype for a potential Alice 3 that WON'T happen, to market his next game; OZombie.
That's my theory at least.

If established games makers dominate kick-starter / crowd funding the over all effect on gaming has to be negative.
Firstly because it will soak up money that was being spent on games that unlike McGee & co's soaps, have no alternative funding source.
Next the basic integrity of many nascent developers who have been using kick starter etc thus far will get replaced with the usual corporate 'bottom line is all' ethos & most likely we will see more investors getting cynically ripped off.
Let's not forget that game banksters such as EA & Activision aren't gonna take this potential competition lying down so they will do everything they can to discredit crowd funding, including pulling stunts using cult developers with AAA game connections as fronts for debacles aimed at discrediting this funding alternative.
Crowd funding or kickstart is already being used/abused as a marketing technique by the sleazier end of town, lots more of that will have gamers considering the whole bizness just another cynical steaming cow turd aimed at making yet another white elephant exercise in imagination free un-optimised coding, smell sweet.

The cool thing about Kickstarter games is you were getting something you had no chance of otherwise. For example Brian Fargo talked about pitching Wasteland 2 to publishers for years to no avail.
Nowadays everyone is jumping on the bandwagon even if they seemingly don't need to.
Why did Jagged Alliance Flashback need Kickstarter? It's not a revival of an old series...Back in Action, Crossfire and JA Online all came out recently. The developer also admitted BitComposer was already supporting them.
Now Alice? Why? This series' last game came out in 2011 and was published by EA. Why don't they have EA fund this one?

Yes, the world needs more zombie games. If you want money, you better come up with something more interesting than that!

Because the game bombed and EA has no interest for another. It's no different than "Wasteland 2".
How many platformers has EA funded/published this generation? Exactly. We are still hoping for a Mirror's Edge 2 announcement.. It's been FIVE years.
The failure of Alice pretty meant the end of it.
You guys act like it's a shooter and you can't see why wouldn't EA be interested in funding another one. The question is why WOULD they want to make a platformer?

The game came out 14 June 2011.
June NPD: http://www.eurogamer.net/forum/thread/213797
| Quote: | 01. L.A. Noire (360, PS3) Take 2 Interactive - 419,000
02. Duke Nukem Forever (360, PS3, PC) Take 2 Interactive - 376,300
03. Infamous 2 (PS3) Sony - 369,200
04. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game (Wii, 360, NDS, PS3, 3DS, PSP, PC) Disney Interactive Studios
05. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS) Nintendo - 283,200
06. Call of Duty: Black Ops (360, PS3, Wii, NDS, PC) Activision Blizzard
07. NBA 2K11 (360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, PC) Take 2 Interactive
08. Mortal Kombat 2011 (PS3, 360) Warner Bros. Interactive
09. Cars 2 (NDS, Wii, 360, PS3, PC) Disney Interactive Studios
10. Just Dance 2 (Wii) Ubisoft |
| Quote: | Random Game Sales
Alice < 120k (360 > PS3)
Child of Eden < 30k
Wii Play Motion < 30k
Shadow of the Damned < 20k (360 > PS3)
SSF4 AE: < 20k (PS3 > 360) |
So not charted in top 10. Sales < 120k
July NPD: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30020563&postcount=1
Nowhere to be found.
So let's say 120k for first month (likely less) + 60k for second (in any case lower than 85k which was the #10 selling title of July) = 180.
Add another 180k for Europe/Asia.
And add half of that (90k) for PC downloads (likely less).
Total: 450k before it disappeared from the face of the earth. For comparison DNF did 376k in the same month, on NA retail alone.
EA ain't funding another Alice anytime soon.
