American McGee's Alice Remaster Has Been Fixed After 13 Years, but Not By EA
The mostly forgotten remaster of American McGee's Alice had many technical problems that Electronic Arts never solved. Only now has one fan done so.
When Electronic Arts released Alice: Madness Returns in 2011 it included American McGee's Alice, the first installment of the series, as an added bonus to the Complete edition. However, it was not the same game as in 2000. Instead, it was pretty much a full-blown remaster. However, this project has two major drawbacks - not only did it leave much to be desired technically, but today the purchase of the Complete edition is only possible through third-party stores that sell keys. The latter will not change until EA comes to its senses. The former, on the other hand, has just ceased to be a problem, thanks to the VorpalFix modification.
This fan project fixes virtually all the shortcomings of the game.
- Most technical bugs have been fixed.
- Many elements, such as cut scenes, interface, or menus were ugly and stretched when playing in widescreen resolutions. With the mod, this is no longer a problem
- Support for custom resolutions and the v-sync function were also added.
- It is now possible to run the game without Alice: Madness Returns.
- If someone does not like the remastered character models, the mod offers an option to disable them.
- The mod forces the models to always be displayed in the highest quality (before, the LOD system made it so that when the characters were a little further away, their simplified versions were shown).
- You can also freely set the target fps, as well as configure the FOV (field of view width).
All in all, VorpalFix fixes practically all the imperfections of the remaster, allowing us to fully enjoy the game. Now it would be great if Electronic Arts started selling it again, instead of forcing players to look for Complete edition keys in various unofficial stores.
