How many times will this forum talk about this until we stop? It's beating a dead horse...
Stop discussing PewDiePie and try to get back on topic. Here's a question, How many different monsters do you guys think there will be?... I mean, we've only been "shown" ONE. But there HAS to be either more, or different variations of it. Am I the only one curious about this?

I hope definitely more than two or three. Grunts and Brutes were fine. The Kaernk had such a short role. Can't wait to find out!

Not at all. I have been thinking about this recently, too. The Dark Descent had a few, so I doubt A Machine For Pigs will have only one scary monster, despite the creepy hint of "the swine will rise" ... I also think it depends entirely on what you decide to call a monster. The Guardian in The Dark Descent is not technically a roaming monster, but it does reveal hints of being an abstract enormous vicious beast on several occasions.

In A Machine For Pigs, perhaps we get to see The Guardian return, since it is set in the same universe. What scares me more is the fact they put so much emphasis on a machine that will roar into life, meant only for the slaughtering of pigs. I speculate that we will see The Guardian and the machine both being a terrifying and lethal red thread in the same way The Guardian alone did in The Dark Descent.

As for actual roaming monsters, I still think there will be more than one kind. Remember the first teaser? The hunting creature made terribly loud steps, while in the second teaser, you could saw something move real silently without a sound at all. Is this a machine, a monster, or both? At any rate, I doubt the thing shown in the first clip and the one in the second clip is the same thing. If it is, then my mind will be even more blown. As if that is even possible!

With The Chinese Room and Frictional Games? I am sure it is ...

I'm sort of hoping, though I know that it's set in the same universe as 'The Dark Descent, that it's storyline and monsters, etc... has absolutely nothing to do with anything 'The Dark Descent.' No orbs, no Guardian, nothing of the sort. I know I've read some comments where people think it'd be cool if Daniel had a small role in it, but not me. Daniel's tale is over. This one is going to be Oswald's. But we'll have to wait and see Either way, I'll be happy with it, I'm certain.

I agree to me even mentioning Daniel in the new game would be a horrible idea, but of course that will never happen.

And considering monsters, I would like to see something different than a typical monster model, I wish they are created like a human NPC who has characteristic different than other NPC-s, like a one person is different from another person of course. In short, I wouldn't mind the one type of monster, but that they all look different from one another.

Although I am pretty sure we will not see or hear from any of the actual characters from The Dark Descent, it has been revealed that there will exist links to a certain degree between the two games. Nothing too obvious, but something that makes you think. I am curious as to exactly what they meant by that.

I am almost certain that we will have at least some indication of The Guardian, though, since this is being in the same universe and all. I believe it is simply too important of an entity to never be heard from again, even if it no longer being "pissed off". and there is text in the game even stating the dreadful force might be the very universe itself. I am starting to believe that the machine will be the new "guardian", though. ;)

I agree - I will most definitely be happy with the game whatever happens, and the fact that they said the ending will blow our socks off is stunningly intriguing!

As with any sequel, there must be just more ... Dan said that the monsters will be at least as much as the original. Two of them, we have already seen in the teaser. I'm betting that there will be 5-6.

After reading as many news articles as I have I remember reading something; I think with Thomas, and he was saying: He wanted there to be more monsters in ATDD, so I think there might be more of a variety of monsters in AMFP.

Also like to add about Thomas, but I forgot Yes, this is suggestive of ...

I'm sorry about the fact that this is off topic, but Delirium92, are you the guy with whom a had a conversation about Oswald getting used to the darkness in the Halloween teaser that was on youtube?

Yes... I think that may have been me. Why do you ask?

I suddenly reminded your profile picture. So I thought I would ask you. Has there been given an answer already to the question if Oswald gets used to the darkness?

Well hello there! Well done with recognizing me.
I don't think it has been confirmed that Oswald can adjust to the dark, but looking at the video I don't see his eyes adjust to the darkness at all.
