Nobody hyped? Waiting forever for this, loved EG, trailer gave me mixed feelings but its better than that facebook game reboot.

Evil Genius 2
Sierra is still a thing?
How is the first game? I know nothing about it beside the fact it's tycoon.
>maximum comfy levels
Brand got bought by Rebellion. Instead of a sequel they gave a shitty facebook game using assets from original. This is supposed to be true sequell.
IMO the game is absolute kino, loved the gameplay, aesthetics and soundtrack (they got awards for it afaik) but i just like this type of games overall.
Even today graphics are not that bad since they are stylized, humor holds on well imo (the entire james bond setting, interrogation animations)

Hadn't seen the trailer before. It looks nice, very representative of the original game, though it doesn't say much. Some gameplay would've been great, though what I took from the boueprint scene is that there might be multiple floors
*blows up half of your base trying to kill single enemy agent*

It's more like Dungeon Keeper. You send minions away to steal money, technology and artifacts while you build and expand your base on island, defending it agains secret services' agents.
Not much to be hyped for, plus
>2020
This looks nice
I got excited when they showed a staircase and an elevator in the trailer; the only things I wanted from the first game were randomly-generated islands and multi-level bases.
from the one screenshot on steam, it looks like it might still only be 1 level, but I'm still excited. Evil Genius was an easy 8/10.
>control room, training, research is back
Good
On a side note, anyone actually use the hotel and casino options in the original
post fav henchman
ok lads, reply to me brainstorming how they will fuck this one up
Check the screen above you, I see stairs down
Would be great to have bases that are below a front like a hotel, instead of only built into the mountain.
>from the one screenshot on steam, it looks like it might still only be 1 level,
wait shit THERE'S STAIRS BOYS
I jsut hope there is some automation in detecting intruders.
Having to individually tag every single burglar, tourist or soldier was tedius in the original.
A burglar could walk through multitude of cameras and sneak past traps and minions without any alerts just because you forgot to tag him.
remove some bits from original while not adding anything new
>preorder dlcs
Hoping that the soundtrack is as good as the first game but it seems like it will be.
Him and the guy who could hypnotize people. Those 2 were unstoppable together.
PC won
No comedic racism that was in the original. No funny accents on the radio.
Remove the best henchmen because of culturally insensitivity.
the proper use for Ivan is to build a closed off room, lock him into it, and only open the door when things are incredibly fucked
basically keep him chained up in the attic until the normandy beach landings start happening outside and then break the seventh seal and unleash russian cthulhu upon the invaders
>Sheng Yu and Alexis seem to be nowhere to be found
Fuck bros. Yu was my favourite EG and Alexis was the first i beat the game with. I hope they didnt replace Yu just because he was a steoreotype or whatever. Other than that i am very excited for this, i hope they can bring them in DLC and also hope Red Ivan is back
I like voodoo characters
>no random maps
>only campaign play
>the cool shit is only unlocked at the end, past the point of no return into the ending
>no gameplay after the campaign end
>0 mod support again
They'll fail to implement fun end-game content, just like the original.
Half the fun is building your evil base, the other half is doing nefarious shit to agents/the world while cackling meniacally.
blue EG looks like a young hillary clinton, though, which is hilarious even if an accident
I only played Evil Genius 1 for a bit ages and ages ago and I enjoyed it. Looking forward to this.
This old bitch
- paid base expansion like motherbase coins in metal gear v
- no henchmen (none in traile and screenshots)
- inclusive sjw lgbtqwerty shit
on the last point, for those who didnt play, first super agent boss was sexy woman in bikini and to defeat her you gave her a surgery to make her fat (to quote game "A disgusting blob!"). imagine that in ANY game today.
OH SHIT REALLY?
This is going to be good.
>STAIRS
Oh yes.
DLC galore

youtu.be
Dunno his name, but it was one of the chinese dude's henchmen that looked like an undertaker.
>not getting the mid that replaces his launcher with rambo guns
>Not locking him in a topside shack until needed
Epic Exclusive.
been waiting 15 years for this
>steam logo in trailer
>steam page already up
I hope it stays that way
I mean, yeah, but that never stopped satisfactory and about 10 other games.
do like jurassic park and add in 3/4 random mobile style upkeep type tasks that require you to click on stuff
I want them to be cartoonishly racist toward everyone like the first game.
>EVIL GENIUS 2
Holy fuck I should have watched E3
that's not a deal breaker
Should have gone to the War for the Overworld devs.
Maximilian's minions are all from despicable me
>yet another CGI trailer
SHOW
ME
THE
GAMEPLAY
>original had terrible crashes and game-breaking bugs that were never fixed, despite the dev promising they would fix them
>I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY THE SEQUEL
You morons did the same thing with Risk of Rain. Stop giving money to devs that lie to your face. Goddamn idiots.
Are they actually going to address the flaws of the original games though? Heroes were OP as fuck and training minions took too fucking long
works on my machine
>The dev
Elixer went bankrupt in 2005
The dev studio that made the first game is long gone.
PMd you the fix :)
Training minions didn't take too long, training them through a dozen fucking ranks for a thing took too long. That system was really fucking broken with the stock minion cap because you just needed three or four high tier minions to walk into the middle of a battle like lemmings and bam, you're stalled until you can nab another high tier civilian.
>That one super agent who was basically Bruce Lee who wrecked your shit
BRING HIM BACK!
