RE: Frictional Games Super Secret Project Discussion Topic - Googolplex - 09-22-2013
I always enjoy to have tricky puzzles. But I wouldn't say AAMFP is a bad game just because the puzzles were too simply. I really like the way TCR goes with that. I mean, we can be praised that they give us the best story in Amnesia. I don't see why story and puzzles wouldn't fit together, but TCR wanted to create their own game, not a TDD clone. So we can be happy wo have two different games.
Even TDD had too easy puzzles. For the future I want the good old Penumbra puzzles and interactions back. Without to lose quality in story.

Considering all of your previously stated ideals, I'm almost curious as to if you were paid to get this opinion, no offense. This is so off from what you normally boast for.

Yes, but I'm not stupid to say AAMFP failed just because there is no oil and no thinderboxes. AAMFP probably has the best of all stories of video gaming history and that's much worth.
Puzzles are even nice, but a game is not automatically bad when there are no. AAMFP has other qualities, what other games doesn't. Of course, it would be even better with more puzzles and interactions.

I think the problem with AMFP was the 'on the rails' feeling. You slip from being in the world to watching it behind a window if you're not given enough to do and/or interact with. You need to find a good balance between being asked to do so much your focus shifts from the scares and the story, and being asked to do so little you disconnect from the scares and the story.

That's true. It feels a bit too linear.

I think the problem is that someone has a bit too much time in his hands and bumps this thread every time he is bored, completely ignoring the fact that some people may subscribe to this topic to watch it for possible relevant information to the subj.
Instead, they are getting this.

Can't wait to see more of the HPL 3 engine! I hope someone will do a blog post about it soon

My heart, it weeps for those people.

In interesting idea would be to waive a protagonist's name.
Because WE, the player, IS the protagonist, and not playing someone who's name is Daniel.
That also would mean the player is a NOBODY. No hero, no virtual protagonist, just a normal human like WE are. His name is not important.
Tell a story where we are not part of it, just trapped into a horrifying journey and find out what's going on there.
