Devil Khan Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Wow, I didn't see this coming! it was nearly 15 years ago since Evil Genius, it was a fantastic game! Although, we haven't seen any of the gameplay so we will have to wait and see. Here is a little reminder of the Evil Genius 1.

LowZone Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I've been waiting years for a sequel to an absolute classic! Instabuy here! Devil Khan and Gallitin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 note: different studio/company than the first one. However rebellion are pretty solid and have been around for decades. The cinematics look very nice and seem to match the first as a sequel, but better detailed (GFX) . Gallitin and LowZone 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Khan Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Yeah I think I was right. The game has multi level. They have a stairs. However they have mixed the public tour and the "evil layer" into one. I don't know how I feel about that really. I spent ages trying to make the best fool proof entrance on Evil Genius hah.

Gallitin Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Super excited for this, been waiting years! I played the original so many times. Can't wait to see how it turns out, really hope I get a beta invite! Wonder if they'll contact me for the domain or let me run a fan site? https://www.evilgenius2.com/ LowZone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Coren Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Definitely going to buy it. Hopefully they learn from the numerous criticisms of the first game (pacing mostly) and apply them going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzlefuse Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I never played Evil Genius but this new game seems fun. I was half expecting The Incredibles to appear out of nowhere:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain2reign Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 For the people interested: https://www.gog.com/game/evil_genius 75% off till the end of the GOG summer sale (June 17th i believe). For me it was €2,29 when i bought it a few days back out of nostalgia. Running it right now with the reworked 1.1 patch by the community back then, since the official one had a few bugs that was never fixed.

Gallitin Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Damn COVID-19... Quote Dear Evil Genius Community, We hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well. Over the last five months or so, Rebellion has been working hard from the safety of our homes. As of now we’re only just beginning to welcome a handful of our staff back into our studios. It’s been a challenging time. We tried to ensure there wouldn’t be a disturbance to our capacity and plans, but in such unexpected circumstances we’ve had to make some changes. Today we’re announcing that Evil Genius 2: World Domination will launch in the first half of 2021. We had originally planned for Evil Genius 2 to launch this year. However, the impact of COVID-19, transitioning from the studio to our homes and adapting to new ways of working all contributed to this difficult decision. We want to deliver a sequel that will do justice to the franchise and be loved and played by the Evil Genius community for years to come, just like the original. And while we know many of you will be disappointed to wait a little longer, launching next year affords us the time to do precisely that. One of the things we most prize about Rebellion is our independence, which allows us the freedom to do what’s right for our games and our staff. That’s what we’re doing for Evil Genius 2. We hope you understand our decision. We’ll announce a final release date as soon as we can. Expect an update sooner rather than later. Here on the Development Blog, normal service will resume in two weeks’ time. We’re going to be to showing you much, much more of Evil Genius 2 over the coming months, as well as sharing some information on the upcoming closed beta. We can’t wait to see what you think. Thank you as ever for your support and your trust. Chris and Jason Kingsley, Rebellion Co-Founders LowZone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowZone Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 First impressions so far: If you enjoyed the complexity of the original, this feels a little too dumbed down. The global map is especially disappointing as minions you send on missions never return and has a distinctly mobile time management game theme to it. Graphical improvements here and there are as expected but I can't shake the feeling that I'd rather be playing the original. Gallitin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like how the minions don't return either, but then again a lot of times they a majority died out there anyways LowZone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
