RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs trailer...? - Tanshaydar - 03-29-2012 This will probably cause a dumb gossip like "Amnesia 2 is announced, it will take place in China" RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs trailer...? - Danny Boy - 03-29-2012 ..... still better then the Mass Effect 3 ending....

I found Amnesia first though, so I got a horror fix after it by being able to then get Penumbra. Played each of them through 3-4 times, so another entry in the game library is definitely going to be awesome. RE: [www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion - Mastersarge - 03-29-2012 I don't know bout some of you guys, but I kinda like the trial and error mechanisms in videogames. Not all games have to be immersive. And a gamer like me, loves a good challenge. Just wanted to say that in response to previous posts made here. And on topic; I'm skeptical. Not sure of thechineseroom would be appropriate for creating this game. I don't know what path they are going for but after Dear Esther, I have doubts. I did not like that game, nor did I like the construct, concept, writing and 'gameplay' of it. I could go into length as to why but I'll just wait and see.

RE: [www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion - Googolplex - 03-30-2012 Frictional Games is not making games to get some extra bucks. They are not EA! They make games because they love it and they wanted to present us some good stuff. They also don't need extra bucks for their next title. They earned enough money with TDD. When you remember, they have created Penumbra without any bucks. Games are expensive, but it's possible to work efficient. The money doesn't have any influence on the quality of the game. The only thing what is important are the devs itself. I know, after Amnesia was successful, they will have greater expectations with the next title. But it's not a must, that they will have it. You can not always be more successful every time than before, you also can make a lost. But I think, they earn more money than a normal worker and that's enough to make games. I mean, games like Penumbra, without any budget, should be sufficient.

They are not EA!If they need money they will find a way to get it. It makes complete sense that they hire another dev team to create a game for them to save time and money to continue making their new game. And for the record, the gaming industry is huge, loads and loads of money go into the making of a game. I know TDD brought in a large amount of money but that doesn't mean that there's no space to make yet more money. It's only realistic. Also, this is not Penumbra, both Penumbra and Amnesia had extremely low budgets, they had financial problem during the making of Amnesia and was near quitting at a point if I'm not mistaken. This time they have a nice budget and they have a sufficient fanbase that is ready to pay them for a new game, they know this and like any other business they "take advantage of that" (might be cynical way to phrase it). This is not really negative or cynical, it's how business work and I'm sure Frictional Games know that as well (otherwise they would not be running a company) |
