[Suggestion] Game immersion...

[Disruption]

Great idea, but the only problem is that what if the microphone has that kind of buzzing noise in the backround? It would then pick it up and broadcast it though the game, you would be making nonstop sounds. And on the other hand, your friend might just want to be a dick and yell "HEY MONSTERS! OVER HERE!" while your playing

This would make the game all the more fun and memorable.

You could implement a noise filter for the buzzing sound, as in only sounds over a certain dB are detected as noise. As for the friend doing that..it would make it more fun and memorable. The way I see it though, is if your friend is there with you you're already distracted from immersion a little bit anyway...

Did you really waste 5 minutes of your life just to flame me?\

I'm sorry that I find the random people who register just to post ONCE annoying

It's because of people like you. No-one wishes to return to an unfriendly community.

The idea is pretty damn cool, I can see lots of potential for LPers!
Also, I'd like to mention that Valve was working on some really cool things, and since Frictional is sort of partnering with Steam i see lots of oppurtunity.

Have a read.

Here's another idea: turn off the pause key. I found myself abusing the pause button whenever I was startled by something, giving me an unfair advantage over the creatures roaming the castle. It would be much better if the player could only pause when he's safe and in the light.

very good idea.

I think Amnesia should have used a TAB interface that does not pause the game, and hotkeys for quickly accessing certain items just like Penumbra did.

ink ribbons and a menu that doesnt pause anyone??? Not exactly ink ribbons of course
