"It's called Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs," he says. There's silence. (from Joystiq.com)"A Machine for Pigs?" I ask. The pair start to laugh. I'm not sure if they're having a laugh at first. Grip hears the hesitation in my voice -- primarily because I wanted to make sure I got the name right -- and speaks up. He explains the first time he heard it, he was against it. "But Dan said, 'No. This is the name.' Now it has just grown on me. Now it can't be called anything else." Pinchbeck, who is acting as lead writer and designer on the project at developer thechineseroom, explains the title and in one fell swoop my confusion in its selection is assuaged. There's a purpose to it both in a narrative sense and as a staple of Amnesia's theme: get people out of their comfort zone. ^ Reading this helped me give them the benefit of the doubt on the name. At first the name sounds silly, but the more I think about it (and look at a few of the concept art pics) I get a more sinister vibe from the title. It's actually kind of fun to tell people there's a new Amnesia game coming out this year and see the look on their face when you tell them the title. "A Machine for Pigs" is definitely growing on me | ||

Either way, I am amped as hell to play this game... though I'll need to purchase some new pants if I'm going to play, since my current ones will undoubtedly be soiled. Agreed. I think that it's a metaphor for greed (greedy as a pig) and the machine part is a literal machine. Given that it's about an industrialist, and that he wakes up inside a machine, the latter we can be almost sure of. Nature of the machine is anyone's guess, mine would be it creates some sort of fuel out of people, like the previous one did to an extent. | ||

Kind of silly, but the "Ozy Mandias" thing as the video title has me intrigued. | ||

Thanks for the link, the name of the titular character of this game is Oswald Mandus. It nearly seems like a shorthand for his name, although some of the letters are clearly switched around (Mandus to Mandias) so that could just be bullshit. Edit: Yeah nvm, after googling for a minute, I found that Ozymandias is a poem from the 19th century. Quote from wikipedia: "The central theme of "Ozymandias" is the inevitable complete decline of all leaders, and of the empires they build, however mighty in their own time.[4]" The central character is an industry tycoon who goes on a failed expedition to Mexico, and contracts a mysterious illness that puts him into a fever for months. Could be a sly way of indicating this tycoons empire is going to fall down around him. Also one of the youtube comments suggested the scream in the video could be a pigs scream. I've never heard a pig scream, so I can't attest to that, but I think the phenomenon does exist. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozymandias | ||

I mean it might sound a little clunky, but at least its not melodramatic, cliched, or pretentious. So many video game names are just played out, we get shit like "Dark Descending Shadow of Fallen Blackness Night" all the time. "A Machine for Pigs" is refreshingly simple and it actually makes me more curious as to whats gonna make it so scary. | ||

Looks cool. I liked the setting of Penumbra better than Amnesia though. | ||
