Would love for this to be VR capable

Yup! That's what I want too.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

What a weird title.

 

[family_guy]

Hasn't aged well.

 

[AuthenticM]

Also, the (weird) announcement trailer.

haha, Mangaminx! I totally watched her playthrough of the game, as well as those of the Penumbra series. She's hilarious when she freaks out.

 

[down 2 orth]

Insta-buy if VR

 

[ULTROS!]

Bought.

Never played these games.

 

[pete_clarf]

Exciting! That's one more game (DD) that I can delete from my Steam Library without ever having played it.

 

[nynt9]

Amnesia is a classic, and this thing is worth it for that alone. Justine is great too. However AMFP is so bad that it probably would have been better value if they didn't include it in this package. I wonder what TCR's original mess was, considering frictional had to step in and delay the game for 6 months to fix whatever TCR made.

I do wonder if Amnesia has aged well though. The genre has evolved a lot since its release and a lot of the tricks it introduced are played out. It revolutionized the genre for sure though.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I never thought I'd see the day. Been a long time coming.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Make it vr and I'll purchase it.

 

[Neiteio]

Oh wow, VR would be amazing. That would possibly be enough to push me to buy PSVR.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Would love VR on this! But I am going to buy it anyways since I've always wanted to try this game.

 

[Josh378]

Now this is a game that needs to be on Playstation VR. I bet you nobody in this thread will be able to finish the game on VR.

 

[ElTorro]

Do we dare ask for VR support? I probably couldn't handle it.

I don't think my heart and psyche would survive this. Even Rush of Blood is much more intense and scary in VR than it looks like on YouTube.

 

[Plum]

But a lot of people including myself liked AMFP more than the original.

It's nice you've got this opinion and all, buy maybe consider the possibility that potential first-timers to the games on PS4 might enjoy it.

Of course, I can definitely see why some people might like it (even if I disagree strongly with those reasons), but to me it really doesn't hold up to the rest at all. Personally they should have allowed people to buy them seperately; $29:99 puts them both at $15 (since Justine was a free DLC) and AMfP is nowhere worth that much to me considering that's the price I originally bought it at.

 

[comshoplesce]

game any good? i have it in steam library heehe

 

[joms5]

Machine for Pigs is a piece of shit, DD is a treat, enjoy it first timers

As having just beat A Machine for Pigs last night, I can say this is accurate.

Starts off sooo promising too. Shame.

 

[cabelhigh]

Yeah I am stupefied by the Machine for Pigs defenders coming out of the woodwork in this thread. Didn't know there actually were people who thought it was better than the first game!!! Which, of course, is craziness.

I don't necessarily think it was better overall (the story certainly is, though). I'd even say that if you played and liked SOMA without playing an Amnesia, you'd stand a better chance of liking AMFP than DD.

 

[xrnzaaas]

I've only played The Dark Descent, but I'll double-dip to support the dev. Hopefully the performance on PS4 will be better than SOMA's (at least pre patch).

 

[Bizzquik]

Amnesia: Collection is coming to PS4.
Featuring Dark Descent, A Machine For Pigs, and Justine.

Thanks for the link.

Nowhere in there does it say PS4 Console Exclusive...so I'm hoping this comes to Xbox One shortly after the PS4 release.

 

[Barry Burton]

This is awesome news. Been holding out hope for Amnesia to come to consoles at some point.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Wish it was remastered. It hasn't aged gracefully imo.

 

[FLD]

Surprised it took so long for this series to hit consoles. I wonder if it means they'll finally add Steam achievements since they'll have to do trophies for this release.

I was planning on playing at least The Dark Descent around Halloween but I might hold off just in case. I'm a giant wuss, so any excuse to postpone the playthrough is good enough for me lol.

 

[Diancecht]

Y'all should play A Machine for Pigs. It's THE best Amnesia game out there.

 

[Robot Pants]

Happy birthday to me

 

[WooHooAlex]

Almost a month after Halloween, that's disappointing.

 

[Atomski]

Man love this game.. but that trailer is almost as bad as the physical release box art in the US..

 

[StewboaT_]

How's the experience with a controller? Building a new pc next week and I'm wondering how I should play it. I highly prefer comfy couch gaming but not if it compromises the experience.

 

[SonicVolcano]

OH SHIT I HAVE A BAG OF MILKY WAYS

 

[Canadian]

Really hope this comes to Xbox One, bought when it does. Really looking forward to playing these games.

 

[MikeE21286]

Machine for Pigs is a best of this collection, but this trailer though..

Machine for Pigs is a piece of shit, DD is a treat, enjoy it first timers

Who to believe!?!?

I'm curious how they will handle opening doors. In the pc version when you open doors you use the mouse so that you can either peak or throw the door open real fast.

Not sure how that will work on a controller..

Touchpad.

Edit: or Move, if the PSVR dream happens.

 

[TGO]

Holyshit what year was they made, I thought they was newish games

 

[IrishNinja]

loved amnesia, haven't played the rest - wish this was a physical release, but still cool!

oh man VR would've been amazing too

Almost a month after Halloween, that's disappointing.

yeah definitely a missed opportunity

 

[Melchiah]

What an amazing surprise for Halloween. Amnesia series was the one I tweeted to Sony a long time ago, when they asked what PC/indie games people wanted to see on the PS4. Better late than never.

It's also great to be finally able to play A Machine for Pigs on my preferred platform, as it didn't work out that well on my laptop. I'll probably skip the first though, as it seems like something I wouldn't enjoy playing myself.

What's Justine? I've never heard about it before.

 

[JJD]

Price?

Lol, who am I kidding? DAY 1!!!

 

[swarley64]

TBH, I tried to play the first Amnesia about a year ago and I thought it looked like a PS2 game. I'll be curious to see how much this remaster improves things.

 

[crimilde]

What's Justine? I've never heard about it before.

Me neither, but from the blog post:

The third game is a lesser known Amnesia title called Amnesia: Justine. This game was made as part of a promotion for Valve’s Portal 2, where we, together with a bunch of other indie developers, took part in an Alternative Reality Game. We decided to use this as an excuse to do something different and went full in on making a whole new story in the Amnesia universe. Justine is a shorter game, taking the form of a series of trials and is heavily inspired by films such as Saw and the historical persona of Elisabeth Báthory.

It actually sounds really cool.

 

[Melchiah]

Huh, sounds intriguing.

 

[Maximo]

Trailer and release date are average but good for those looking to play them on the PS4

 

[Ryuuga]

An appetizer before RE7 in Jan.

 

[Anung]

Will buy. I like supporting these guys when I can. I never got around to finishing A Machine For Pigs either.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Fuck these games. Scary as shit. Especially the first one.

 

[Raptor]

What kind of gameplay?

Any gore?

 

[IbizaPocholo]

This news makes me very happy.Instant buy for me.

Glad to see this happening

 

[Golgo 13]

First Amnesia is too fucking stressful to play -- well, it was about 4-5 years ago when I first played it. For those unaware, Amnesia: Dark Descent is a game most people can't bring themselves to finish because of the psychological stress/terror it inflicts upon you (including some people I know in the games industry who just couldn't handle it).

I wonder what I'd think of it now, guess we'll see.

 

[Memorabilia]

Amnesia is great, but based on reputation Machine for Pigs is a big step down n I don't know anything about Justine. I think the only way I'd buy this is when it eventually hits $15 or less, which is a fair price for Amnesia (the other two could be considered freebies to my mind).

 

[Slick Butter]

What kind of gameplay?

Any gore?

From what I've played (never finished 2spooky) it's got puzzles and you have to sometimes get/do specific things and go places while avoiding scary monsters.
You can't fight anything and once a monster spots you you have to break its line of sight for long enough to quit following you, by closing doors and hiding in cabinets.
There's also a sanity meter you have to manage (some neat effects when you are nearly insane) as well as oil for your lamp.
The monsters themselves are pretty nasty/gorey, and I'm pretty sure there's instances of bloody piles lying in some places but I don't remember very well.

Super nifty game with cool ideas but damn is it spooky.
