[sam27368]

I believe people are now waiting for a countdown, ending in about 10 or so hours on the C64 emulator

 

[xHAASx]

Destined to be engrossing!

 

[S0N0S]

Wait...Dear Esther devs working on an Amnesia sequel/story?! Sounds too good to be true.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Well I just came.

Atmosphere overload!

 

[Night_Trekker]

Neat-o. Will buy.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Well that's just completely perfect. Day one so hard.

 

[Helmholtz]

Day 1 for sure. Amnesia was so damn refreshing.

 

[Cramoss]

Can't wait! Amnesia was one of the best gaming experiences I've had in recent years.

Amnesia 2, I presume?

 

[NervousXtian]

Don't feel like doing anything with the ARG, but anything these guys make.. I'm playing.

Amnesia was such a fantastic experience.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Dear god... This is amazing.. But what about Frictional? Outsource development? Concentrate on design/pre production? Merging of teams? How Fucking awesome whatever it is.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Oh my. OH MY. Excited and terrified.

I can't wait.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I haven't played Dear Esther yet. I hear it's great, so I'm not too worried, but since I haven't experienced their work firsthand I must admit I do hope they're worthy of the IP.

Amnesia was truly something special. I couldn't take it if the sequel wasn't just as utterly brilliant.

Dear Esther was fairly high on my priority list, but it's got quite a bump up now.

 

[KAOz]

Dear god... This is amazing.. But what about Frictional? Outsource development? Concentrate on design/pre production? Merging of teams? How Fucking awesome whatever it is.

They are probably working on their on project, as they've said their next game won't be horror.

So, we can probably expect a whole new game from Frictional.

 

[legacyzero]

Finished Amnesia this morning. Truly an awesome and terrifying game.

Certainly sequel worthy.

EDIT: oh, and somebody sell me Dear Esther. I have no idea what it is.

 

[gabbo]

Oh I'm looking forward to this, most certainly.
Should be oozing atmosphere like nobodies business.

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

Finished Amnesia this morning. Truly an awesome and terrifying game.

Certainly sequel worthy.

EDIT: oh, and somebody sell me Dear Esther. I have no idea what it is.

Read through the OT here, a lot of people, myself included, highly recommended the game in it.

Joystiq confirms thechieneseroom is the developer:

Speaking exclusively with Joystiq, Frictional Games and Dear Esther's thechineseroom have revealed their latest project, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

"It's not a direct sequel, in terms of it doesn't follow on from the story of Amnesia. It doesn't involve the same characters," Dear Esther writer Dan Pinchbeck told me. Instead, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs will be set in the same "alternate history and set in the same universe." In short, the game will look to scare your pants off.

Set in 1899, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs follows the "wealthy industrialist" Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from "a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy." Struck by a destructive fever, Mandus is haunted by dreams of a dark machine until he mysteriously regains consciousness. Months have passed, unbeknownst to the industry tycoon, and as he emerges from his slumber the roaring engine of a mysterious machine sputters to life.

A detailed interview with Frictional Games designer Thomas Grip and thechineseroom's Dan Pinchbeck is coming later today, delving deeper into the darkness with Amnesia's next chapter. And yes, the two discuss what A Machine for Pigs means.

[TheExodu5]

I hope this is as big of a leap over Amnesia as Black Plague was over Overture.

 

[Dascu]

Can't wait.

 

[Dog Problems]

Great, another game I'll never finish because of how much it scares the crap out of me.

 

[Sinatar]

I hope this is as big of a leap over Amnesia as Black Plague was over Overture.

It's a different developer so I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[sam27368]

Awesome!

 

[Snuggles]

Sweet. It might not be the same without Frictional's touch but I'm so down either way.

Thanks for posting, that's some good stuff.

Both designers admit that publishers, both small and large, have attempted to woo them. Some offered to finance Frictional's next title. Grip outlines one pitch to bring Amnesia: The Dark Descent to Xbox Live Arcade, but admits the team wouldn't have the "time or willpower" to get it right on console.

Stay strong, brothers.

 

[Ceebs]

This may be the best title for a horror game I have heard.

 

[sam27368]

There is a timer on the page! www.aamfp.com under 2 hours to go and is synced to humble indie bundle..
What could it mean?

 

[sam27368]

It would appear that another ARG has gone live www.aamfp.com

Can someone make a new post as I'm unable to?
Seems as though the media ramp up is getting heavier
