Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

Just a prediction, but I think this may be mainly based around the Kaernk, since it does say "something is emerging" and the Kaernk emerges from the water, and if you watch one of their older engine over view videos the map their playing in is called something like "Depth: The Dark Descent" (having to do with water obviously). Also if you look at the picture right it KIND OF looks like the water monster scene... not really, BUT WHATEVER.

Well when clicking on the image you come to Google Maps for china, but there are coordinates embedded into the link. These = 35.86166,104.195397 and 99.126444,228.339844

Hit em up in a converter and you get these:
N35 51 41 E104 11 43




Search that up on google maps and we may have an exact location?

I hope it's not another Amnesia installment, I was kinda hoping for something entirely new..

[Arvuti]

I really hope it has nothing to do with amnesia, eventhough amnesia logo is in the website. Amnesia doesn't need a sequel, things were wrapped up nicely.

[Elven]

Well it doesn't have to be really sequel ^^

I'm puzzled!

This is what you get when you google maps search for china:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=china&hl=e...na&t=h&z=4
This is what they gave:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=china&hl=e...na&t=h&z=4

q=china
“q” stands for “query” and anything passed in this parameter is treated
as if it had been typed into the query box on the maps.google.com page.
(I'd think this is just a disguise thing or something)

hl=en
“hl” stands for “host language”.
(doesnt matter?)

sll=35.86166,104.195397
“sll” Latitude,longitude of the point from which the business search should be performed.

sspn=99.126444,228.339844
“sspn” stands for “Screen span”. Map bounds dimensions in Degrees

hnear=China
“near” can be used as the location part of a query instead of putting the entire string into q=. Also needed/useful for disambiguation.
(another useless thing?)

t=h
“t” is Map Type. The available options are “m” map, “k” satellite, “h” hybrid, “p” terrain.
(hybrid eh? What does this mean!?!?)

z=4
“z” sets the zoom level.


Using the sll like Brandth says directs to a field. Nothing interesting there for a game? Or is this the grass eating simulation people have talked about?

I can't figure out what that sspn means so I'll just let smarter people figure this out. If there actually is something to figure...

Didn't they say their next game wasn't gonna be full-on horror?

[Your Computer]

Yay to overthinking.

[LuckyBlackCatXIII]

Didn't they say their next game wasn't gonna be full-on horror?

That statement was about their full game that they said would possibly be out in 2013. This is probably just another expansion, like Justine, so it could be as horror-filled as its predecessors.
