It was even more modern when Penumbra first came out.

A lot has changed since the new millennium.

Nothing that would have noticeably changed the game.

It's not official but if I "heard" correctly, theChineseRoom and Frictional Games has a collaboration on something Amnesia related.
Again, this is not official, but my sources are reliable Smile

Well with the screens I have seen (http://www.nextfrictionalgame.com/image_2.jpg & http://www.nextfrictionalgame.com/image_1.jpg) it looks like it is going to be set in the past. What do pigs on a slaughtering line imply for the new game? :/

Probably pigs aren't really pigs in gameB.

I think it is going to be a prequel to Amnesia...

I don't think it can be a prequel to Amnesia. Think of the time period. Amnesia is set in the very early 1800's, I believe 1830 something. Going by this image
http://nextfrictionalgame.com/ it has to be after Amnesia. Look at the light fixtures, they aren't oil lamps, they are electric.

Based on the level of technology in the art we have thus far, I'd say we can be pretty sure it's not a prequel.

Game devs. have been known to release screenshots during the hype period but than you never see it in game.

Like the Penumbra game - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en...-cover.jpg it is just art for the hype... that is what the images on the site are for Tongue

.

All of the technology in the images we have seen were capable in the time period of Amnesia.
