Evil Dead Game Sequel Confirmed By Bruce Campbell

Posted by simoniker on from the more-evil-more-dead dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Bruce Campbell mentions a new Evil Dead videogame due out in spring 2005 in a recent interview over at AICN. Asked whether there's going to be an Evil Dead 4 movie or not, he concludes 'So, I don't know. I mean, no one's gonna weep if there isn't... I mean, look! We've got these Evil Dead games coming out left and right. The new one's coming out next year, next Spring. I did the voice for it for Cranky Pants.' Looks like Cranky Pants Games are internal developers for THQ, working on an 'unannounced third-person action game shipping on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles in early 2005', probably the Evil Dead game - I hope they do a better job than developers Vis Entertainment did on Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick!" THQ's first Evil Dead title, Evil Dead: Hail To The King, wasn't rated too positively either, so hopefully this new game should be an improvement.

    Freddy vs Jason vs Ash? No way. I'm holding out for Freddy vs Jason vs Ash vs Alien vs Predator vs Terminator vs Chucky vs Chucky's Bride vs Godzilla. Now there's a movie worth seeing.

    Didn't 3D Realms make an Evil Dead game called Duke3D?

    Well okay, it wasn't Evil Dead, but it had more than enough quotes from it ;)

    So did "Blood" iirc.

    Yeah, but like... Quicktime format? Ewww... it takes a bit longer until the quality rips start showing up...

    I could just see Chucky and Freddy and Jason clinging tenatiously to Godzilla's legs, while Ash runs away comically. Facehuggers would jump into Godzilla's mouth, not realizing that they were biting off a little more than they could chew. The Predator and The Terminator's heroic stand wouldn't last beyond the opening credits. Eventually a charge would be lead by Pyro and Hellboy, with Mr. Sparkle banishing Godzilla to the land of wind and ghosts.
