RE: Amnesia on ps3/xbox

stop it children...

Xbox360 and PS3 both come to the end of there lives at the end of this year or next, granted, 360 should have been put out to pasture long ago however.

they are going to be replaced with Xbox 720 and Ps4, wich should run Open GL, especially 720 as Cross compatability with PC is rumoured. so, perhaps a port to those systems via XBLA and PSN may be the ticket, as they will have more up to date tech so the game wont need to be crippled technologically to be ported.

porting isnt a bad thing, so long as they keep it EXACTLY the same as the PC version, and dont turn it into some Call Of Duty Style Zombie Shooter that is, as it will open frictional up to a Wider Audience of Players, and will bring them in more money! so they can make even better games, and can stay independant, the last thing i want to see happen to them, is them running out of money and going the same way as People Can Fly, 4A studios, GSC gameworlds, ETC, and getting snaffled up cheap by some big American Megapublisher, and being forced to make Cheap, Broken COD clones for Console from now until the industry crashes from too many modern shooters. PCF, 4A, GSC, all stuck to a PC audience, wich sadly meant they lost out on the wider audeince of porting, ran out of money, and ended up getting snaffled up By Evil Alliance (PCF), Terrible Horrible Quango's (4A) and Craptivision (GSC).

I mean, if Croteam can port SSIII to XBLA and PSN for the "next generation" consoles (720 and ps4), to get the extra money from the wider audience so they can stay Indipendant, without having to dumb the gameplay down or castrate the tech specs, then why cant Frictional port its games?

I hope EA doesn't team up with Frictional Games for AMFP and port it to Xbox.

Electronic Arts Wrote:Today we forced Frictional Games to announced the Grunt Shooter pack. Unlock five news maps from the original Amnesia and get five exclusive lantern skins for Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs. Use muskets and cavalry sabers to take out the Grunt menace on Storage, Penitentiary, Storm, Zimmermann's Stead, and Orb. Get it today for only $5 $49.99, exclusively at the GameStop Amnesia store!

I had to edit this post like eight times.

If there was one company that I wasn't worried about selling out or making crappy games it's frictional. You don't have to worry about that.

@Zaffre: Oh, game publishers (Not Frictional) can stoop low that's for sure, but I think Amnesia has already had such a defined role in its genre, if they do anything of the sort, they'd be signing their own death warrants.

It would fail in the end, but for a while ea.com would look like this.

They still have the potential to be good. I think the main problem with them, and the people's problem with them, is that they take their money earning ploys a bit too far.

RE: Amnesia on ps3/xbox

Well I have to give EA some credit for the creativity...





EDIT: I've never tried it but I would imagine it is real. I know Steam protected games work something like this...

**STEAM**

*User login
*Connect to steam server to verify
*Logs in player
*Player goes to pick which game to play

*game launches and Steam keeps connection
*if the connection is lost then the game should stop and quit to the desktop.
