Think the next game will require more?

As any long-time fan can tell you, Amnesia was essentially Penumbra for those who thought it was too deep, hard and scary. Storyline was simplified, difficulty was toned down with gimmicks and stuff like no-autosave was removed for convenience and to tone down the scary.

That's fine. People like their Facebook. It was more welcoming and didn't sacrifice too much in the process.

Now that Amnesia MFG is out it's pretty easy to see that it's a dumbed down version of Amnesia. It's at the point where it gameplay wise could've been called "Dear Esther 2" and storyline wise fit right in with the Micheal Bay movies. There seems to be a pretty strong consensus that where Amnesia felt like a good way to get started, Amnesia MFG feels like someone put you in the special class with a hardhat.

So I'm just curious, will the next title follow the same charade? Will the next game actually be "Dear Esther written by Michael Bay"?
