Spicy Horse teasing Alice sequel for 2011 release

If the creepy stop-motion animation is indicative of the final product's look we'll be more than a little intrigued; a notion surprising enough to make us wonder if we've been hitting the Caterpillar's hookah just a bit too hard.

It reminds me of the creepy Russian film Alice.
Excellent interpitation of the Wonderland tale. It's free on netflix instant que. Y'all should check it out.

I love the stop-motion, actually if a game that could duplicate the look of stop-motion animation would be pretty damn cool.

it's not russian. it's done by jan svankmejer, who is czech. excellent director, though.
whylekat @ Nov 2nd 2009 12:07PM
Ah my mistake. But yes, excellent director & excellent film. Any lover of stop-motion should check it out.

Are you even allowed to call yourself a lover of stop-motion without having seen the work of Jan Svankmejer, or the Brothers Quay?

Wow, I thought I was the only one who'd ever seen that particular movie version. I saw it as a kid, which made it even more awesome.

I really really liked the first Alice game. The prospect of a sequel intrigues me.

holy crap, i remember this game. A Sequel would most def be welcome.

American McGee's Alice was a phenomenal game, and I'm looking forward to this. Can't see the video as I'm at work, but if the atmosphere is as awesome as the original, I'm sold.

I loved the first Alice game and never thought a sequel would eve see the light of day. It wasn't the best game every, but between the ambitious visual design and the stellar music, I just fell in love with it.
I got chills toward the end of the trailer when the original music from the first game kicked in. I severely hope they get Tweaker to do the music again.

Oh man I would be first in line but I'm not sure how they would do this. The plot of the first one was: *SPOILERS* she became insane after the loss of her family and would go into long comas (wonderland) wherein she would effectively kill her past. After you beat it she obviously regained her sanity, as she was even leaving the asylum at the end *END SPOILERS*
So as much as I would like one, I don't see where they could go from there. I wish American McGee had just made Oz and Red Riding Hood like he said he was going to instead of wasting our time with Scrapland and the terrible Grimm games.

Watch the clip. She's relapsing. I played the original for a few levels and liked them. I really can't wait to play this on a console, though. If they do it right this could be awesome.

Loved the first one, and this preview clip makes the new one look creepy as hell. Definitely looking forward to see what comes of this.
Also, it would be cool if when this eventually launches, they accompany it with an XBLA/PSN version re-release of the original game.
Blizzardjesus @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:42AM
I second this. A re-make would definitely benefit with current twin stick controls. The new one is now my most anticipated game. Still have the Alice and Mad Hatter figures on my desk.
blackbeard @ Nov 2nd 2009 11:37AM
color me interested.

I'll have what the caterpillar is having ;)

Oh shit, my girlfriend is gonna be pleased about this one. Alice was her favorite game. We even have a big ass model of the cat in our living room.
Giroro @ Nov 2nd 2009 1:56PM
Everything in the trailer looks like it was actually done with stop motion, except for the cat. It makes me think the style won't carry on to actual gameplay though.
bm @ Nov 2nd 2009 2:08PM
Stop motion? Could this be... could this finally be a sign that the industry might be getting over their "everyfucking thing has to be shiny 3D CG" phase? And get back to what matters, namely just making great games with great artwork, without worrying whether or not tech geeks will get off to the number of shaders used in the engine? Could this mean shiny realistic bloom filled shit is finally becoming old news? I do hope so.
Sayed @ Nov 2nd 2009 2:45PM
What the fuck are you posting this crap here for???
Go back to the sewer where you came from and take your crappy merchandise with you T_T

When I play through the Scarecrow sequences in Arkham Asylum I can't help but to think the developers were inspired by Alice. Alice was definitely ahead of it's time.

I have been waiting for a sequel to Alice forever!
Skaz @ Nov 3rd 2009 10:55AM
That has to be the wrongest-sounding headline ever.
zcubed @ Nov 3rd 2009 4:32PM
AHHHH, i cant wait for this, biggest fan of american mcgee's alice right here!
