Indeed, a step up in detail is a big thing.

Let's just hope that modders use it well. "LOL SHADOWS EVERYWHERE!"

Even though graphics aren't everything, for some people (including me) it is something which adds to the experience and would love an upgrade.

RE: Frictional Games Super Secret Project Thread

I agree. When it comes to simple games such as, say Katamari Damacy, graphics aren't as necessary, and even add to the style and experience. Borderlands or Walking Dead would not be the same if it weren't for their comic-like appearance, you know?

But games such as Amnesia, A proper level of detail and graphics ARE necessary to make you feel you are in the game. And I approve of any form of improvement to their current graphics.

OP, you could at last mention it is a horror after all, as were revealed not so long ago. Some people still think it follows old concept about open world filled with pink, cute bunnies.

Not sure... I mean that article is from 2010. Back then they probably didn't plan to make this a horror game - because of all the things one could think of to make a horror game better, sunlight isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind, right? Wink Still, I guess it can't hurt to improve hpls graphic capabilities. It makes for better immersion and it keeps the metascore of their next game from needlessly losing points due to having out of date graphics.

True and as FG said it wasnt even a horror game they were working on but later it changed into one. and as looking at the concept art, it doesnt look like a horror game atleast but very cool though Wink ..

This.


I hope for either that, or a circular spotlight. That would be fabulous.

Spotlights already project a circular image. Do you mean spherical?
