Rebellion bringing Evil Genius to Facebook and Zynga as "Evil Genius online"
133 replies, posted
I had so many wonderful ideas on how they could make a good sequel. I discussed them with people on the EG forums for a while. Then Rebellion comes out with this shit.
We need a different team to make an Evil Genius sequel.
Who in their right mind thought this type of game would be perfect for a Facebook style Zynga game and [u][i]Micro-transactions[/u][/i]?!
And Evil Genius [b]ONLINE[/B]??
Seriously?!
Multiplayer, maybe. Holy crap this is a bad business decision Rebellion.

"You do not have enough action points to send a spy here. Post on your Facebook wall and recruit your friends for more action points or wait six hours until they refresh!"
UGHH.

They could have at least started up a Kickstarter. I would have totally paid to fund a new and [u]proper[/u] Evil Genius.
Meh, fuck them basically.
IMO there's enough room and potential players for a new indie studio to form and create a proper Evil Genius type game, even if the original devs don't want to do it.
So I guess it's just a matter of time before someone decides to.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This is terrible news
They wont answer any of my tweets.

It's the weekend, they tend not to post anything at the weekend. I really hope that they say something about this and don't just ignore it, though.
Man, an online Evil Genius could be really nice. Spying on others, infiltrating bases.
But no, it had to be like this.

That was posted at 5AM, which is a bit strange really. Maybe it was automated?
[QUOTE=latin_geek;41796862][I]no, fuck off[/I]
I hate how [B]that's[/B] the to-go thing for everyone nowadays, surpassing both "making a good sequel" and DLC packs[/QUOTE]
it's either this, or becoming a moba. Either way, into the trash it goes!
Why cant we do anything to save this amazing game's history?

I would love to participate but I only have a little experience with Javascript/Unityscript and C++. But seriously, this should be done.

They bought Evil Genius along with Ground control and Empire Earth back in 2006. It's took them 7 years to do anything with Evil Genius (unless you count the previous Facebook game), and they haven't done anything at all with the other 2. It's very obvious they have no idea what people want, or they aren't listening.
look at nightlords

I know this wont help but atleast try[/QUOTE]
I'd sign it if it was written in a more serious tone with some good points rather than "make an actual game".

Yep, i'm going to write up a full nicely worded thing for him. Hopefully we can get something done or at least a reply from Rebellion.

I've quickly wrote something and sent it to you, hopefully it will get a few more people to sign it.
Now nightlord is going to make one cause i failed :(
Hey this is perfect timing for my friends who wanted to make an Evil Genius like game.

Is this any better?

If people could share it and try to get people to sign that would be great.

Posting it on some big gaming forums might work.

Neogaf and gametrailers are pretty much the only other place i can post it, so someone else will have to do those if they want.
Is there a reason why it says the site is down?
