It doesn't work like that. You can't just arbitrarily assign a percentage to something like that.

EGO isn't as hopeless as we expected:

Maybe some form of sensory deprivation tanks? Could boost awareness or something. (clears your mind and such)

Hmm, at least they kept the style.
The biggest thing they could fuck up (and since Zynga is involved, they WILL make it happen) is the "oh oops, you could only build 1/3rd of a room today! Come back in 24 hours kthxbai!" thing. I want to murder whoever invented that.
I didn't think Facebook games could look this good. Still negative about it but yes, there might be hope.
There's been nothing to suggest this isn't a full game with a Facebook connectivity feature. Zynga may well be handling that side of it and nothing else.
I also got into the beta.

I'm not sure anymore. The Polygon article says:
[quote]Developer Rebellion will release a follow-up to world domination simulator Evil Genius later this year. Evil Genius Online, the studio announced today, will bring the super-villain sim to Facebook and Zynga as part of a simultaneous launch.
The successor to 2004's Evil Genius (pictured) will incorporate social features available on Facebook and Zynga.com[/quote]
And i've seen many places say it's just coming to Facebook and Zyna, but i'm still confused.

In all honesty, I think Rebellion have a had a bad start with people instantly jumping on the bandwagon to bash them for it, but like someone else on the forums said (I forget who) it would seem really weird that they'd hype a literal Facebook game as much as they did.
So I reserved judgement until something more substantial came out. I'm not saying it WILL be a full game but I think people need to chill out and let Rebellion actually show us what it is they're doing. Instead of shitting themselves because Zynga and Facebook are mentioned.
When is the beta anyway?

I think the main reason people freaked out about this was that it would be on facebook, as long as they use something that's compatible with browsers this could be just as good as the first one but not disk based.
Im still pretty unhappy about it though.
[QUOTE=-n3o-;41867584]I thought it would of been better if they went on STEAM or through STEAM greenlight.[/QUOTE]
Thats pretty much what everyone wanted hence my post.

I have what we have been waiting for.
Dear Evil Genius 2 Facebook group members and Evil Genius gamers everywhere,
Thank you for taking the time to prepare your open letter on behalf of the community.
We were overwhelmed by the response to the announcement of Evil Genius Online (EGO). Not only were all the closed beta slots taken in less than 24 hours, but we saw the Evil Genius community spring into action. Whether it was through emails, tweets, the online petition, in forums or through your open letter, you made the effort to let us know what Evil Genius means to you as gamers. We wanted to reply to you directly, and although we don’t have time to cover all your questions hopefully this letter will leave you a lot clearer about the future of Evil Genius!
So why did we make Evil Genius Online?
For independent studios like Rebellion to survive it’s important that we look beyond the console, PC and mobile platforms we know so well. Zynga and Facebook are hubs with millions of gamers who can start playing any game in just a couple of clicks. There are almost no barriers. This is why free-to-play is so exciting for both developers and gamers, and yes, it means we can bring Evil Genius to a new audience too.
But hasn’t Evil Genius been on Facebook before?
Yes - Evil Genius: WMD - and it wasn’t up to scratch. We know fans and gamers deserved better. Evil Genius Online is a completely different game and we’ve learned some invaluable lessons since then.
Will social mechanics undermine the traditional Evil Genius gameplay?
While EGO will obviously attract a free-to-play audience, we wanted to create an experience that could be enjoyed by many types of gamers, including Evil Genius fans. Crucially the game doesn’t feature an ‘energy’ mechanic which would limit your play time each day. EGO is firmly mission based, with an open ended story that evolves as the gamer progresses. Yes, each mission takes time to complete and objectives can be accelerated with the use of virtual currency (no pressure applied), but gamers can play for as long as they want and completely redesign their lair to their heart’s content at any time. We honestly believe many of you will really enjoy EGO, but we also understand that we’ll still be disappointing some of you too.
So is this the ‘sequel’ that has been rumoured on Twitter?
When Jason – Rebellion’s CEO and co-founder - tweeted earlier in the year about a potential follow up to Evil Genius, he wasn’t talking about Evil Genius Online, which was already in development by a small team here in our Oxford studio.
We’ve always wanted to make a fully-featured PC follow-up. We’ve taken concepts for an Evil Genius sequel to publishers before but we weren’t able to secure the funding we needed. However since then, we’ve looked into alternative ways to get this game funded and created. We are going to make this happen. And it’s going to be soon.
We’ve been watching the Evil Genius community for some time now, and we’re sorry that we couldn’t tell you earlier about our plans. If anything, your enthusiasm over the last couple of weeks has galvanized our efforts!
In the next few days a key member from our Oxford studio will be in touch. They want to engage with the EG community and get you involved in the first steps we take towards the next Evil Genius game on PC.
Please make them welcome, and don’t be scared to share your ideas!
Yours Forever Evily
The Rebellion team
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all personally. The support I have received from you guys has been nothing short of awesome. The reason the community has been taken seriously is not because of me, not Val, not one single individual. It's all of us.
If you want to follow me on Twitter, please do. You'll find my thanks to Rebellion on Rebellions page

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;41929349]how to damage control right here[/QUOTE]
The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they are hastily creating an Evil Genius 2 right now to appease the fans but I have faith.
Oh wow, that is great news. I take back all the bad things i said about Rebellion and Evil Genius online.
A proper sequel to Evil Genius?
Can't wait.
I told you guys! i told you they were still planing stuff but i also didn't ;) anyways i was playing evil genius on steam today and i played through the tutorial cause i havent played in years and i realised that..... umm... maximillion sounds like a weird german dude having sex.... he's like "ermm, yeaa, bundavor (or whatever)" who agrees? :quagmire:
