Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Zgroktar]

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.
