RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - sasaluvsamnesia7 - 07-18-2013 (07-17-2013, 11:33 AM)Pablodius Wrote: Yo, new to this forum, just a massive Amensia fan who has decided to pass the time waiting for A:AMFP by obsessively thinking up theories on that the storyline will be about. It's really interesting to read through all your ideas about what might feature in the game. Is the titular 'Machine' literally a machine, or is it a metaphor? Did Mandus' kids/family die in Mexico, or are they the kids we see walking around in the trailer? Welcome to the forum. Previously I've posted that I hope Mandus is actually not a horrible person, as Daniel and Justine both turned out to be, in their own horrific ways. So many of us are so hypnotized by these poems and new images, and on the subject of Mandu's supposed children that we fail to remember that there is another character we've already heard but have barely recognized. I am of course, talking about the professor, whom we hear at the end of the second trailer. What if Mandus is betrayed by a close friend? What if instead of giving himself the amnesia in some way, he is poisoned by said friend? I think that'd be a refreshing turn around, and a very interesting twist. According to the game description, he is out of it for a very long time before reopening his eyes. Things could've gone to Hell while he was unconscious, I believe. What if we are all blaming the wrong person right off the bat? I have a theory after hearing the lines at the end of the trailer. The professor states: "But surely there is not enough pigs in all of London to feed the appetite of such a machine?" Then Mandus adds, "That all really depends professor on what one considers to be a pig?" Everyone speculates Mandus means humans, but what if Mandus isn't even considering humans? What if his expedition is to find for him something to help make his machine run in some other way? I really am excited to know why he went to Mexico. It's going to be great! I also am not a fan of the vitae theory, or anything at all to do with what made the first Amnesia game. The shadow, etc... That was Daniel's story, and this one is Mandus's, and I do hope that it is very much different. Well so many questions left unanswered. I have a feeling I may be wrong about Mandus being a good guy, but one can hope, I suppose. (07-18-2013, 06:05 AM)Darkluminoo Wrote: Is there a thread for fan art? If there is please link it -- I think there may be. I've not seen much fan art for the game yet, though. Probably a lot will 'rise' one the game has. RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - fancreeper - 07-18-2013 We were told that we would get a release date very soon...a month passed and nothing happend... RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - cantremember - 07-18-2013 Lol the skeleton image. I bet somewhere someone on earth must have died while playing a videogame, and lived alone so nobody found him until he was half decomposed, perhaps with his game still turned on in front of him. Who knows. RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - Paddy™ - 07-18-2013 I see Toby Longworth (who plays Mandus) is also working on the new Broken Sword! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=680551651961552&l=576a1286f7 That's him on the right. It'll be weird playing Broken Sword after having heard him in Amnesia haha.

RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 2 - NanaPharcyde - 07-18-2013 Here you go guys, just in case you're interested. https://soundcloud.com/mohawk-23 I'm VERY interested in making music for games and I'm slowly working on a Amnesia-style Demo Reel. So if any of you are making mods, or just want some music for ANYTHING at all, PLEASE consider contacting me! EDIT: Also, thanks to whoever gave me Rep!

Maybe this is when we will figure out the release date. Hopefully we will know it sooner than that though.
