Agree after detection in Amnesia there was a chance to get away as you could run as fast as they do + you have tactical ways of outrunning by blocking barricading.
But if it really is this fast and smarter holy crap...

(amongst other things I bet) Maybe there are ways to use the environment to your advantage, even though they are faster than you? For example their speed could make it difficult for them to turn corners, or something like that... or maybe there's some special "rule" concerning the circumstances under which they'll attack you. (maybe they stay away from light, or only attack you fom behind, or only when they are in a group... the possibilities to balance out their superiour speed are endless )

Quote: Of course blind fans will like anything... for me, I have played original with custom stories enough... Sequel should introduce somethingnew than a story and new models. The gameplay should be changed at least a bit. From what I see now, it's all the same, only lantern has changed, and instead of hiding in closet you have to hide in a cage. I would expect much more from a team which will be working on this for more than one year.

Congratulations, you have just discovered the meaning of the word "sequel".

No seriously, sarcasm aside, if you want a game that's entirely different from Amnesia, you should wait for Frictionals new, secret title. Expecting a game called "Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs" to be entirely different than the first Amnesia doesn't make a whole lot of sense, now does it? Apart from the fact, that most Amnesia fans would probably feel betrayed if it was.

From what we've heard so far, their goal was to improve those aspects of Amnesia that didn't work perfectly, while keeping the base game mechanics and feeling of the original. And I think they succeeded.

The point is - it looks just like a custom story. It's not worth to spend money on it.

Also - only improving some aspects, as you said, won't work. People have played this game over and over for hundreds of times, it got so boring... Everybody knows the gameplay scheme, how the monsters and scares work. Level editor and hundreds of custom stories should be judged for that.

A Machine For Pigs will be made definitely more professional than custom stories. There is a talented developer team working hard on it and get paid under the supervision of Frictional Games. When you say it's not worth to spend money for an unique good game like that, then I ask me, for what games should I spend money then? FIFA 13, Most Wanted 2012, Call Of Duty? When you want to blow your money away, then buy action games like that. But Amnesia will be a decent game for a niche of grown-ups!

.. really? I knew you were retarded but..

Actually we just can speculate about the game, but I'm sure there's more than the trailer shows.

Although, I couldn't hear any music within the monsters surroundings, only squeals and groans, no music or special ambience at all.
