EPTAs for the title. Well, at first, I heard it and thought it was like an early April fools joke or something, because it was a ridiculous title. But it grew on me quickly, and a day later I decided I loved the title. Something about it, once you think it through, is eerie, and just perfect. Whoever came up with it is a genius.

Also can't wait for it and really hope it's as good or better than The Dark Descent. | ||

Pigs are one of the most similar animals to humans. Not much hair. Pig organs can be used for human organ transplants. etc. Pigs also get slaughtered on a regular basis, and a machine for pigs is likely to be some sort of slaughtering machine. | ||

 Though I hope the production time that's only like ~1 year doesn't impact the quality of the game. | ||

On a side note, I can't see any enemy that grunts like a pig being more disturbing than the monsters in Amnesia, although I know that's completely subjective. For some reason, I'm picturing something like Bebop from Ninja Turtles :D | ||

For some reason, I'm picturing something like Bebop from Ninja Turtles :D I imagine the pig monsters as terrible abberations, much like the ones in The Dark Descent, they'd be amalgamations of flesh with steel, I picture large hump back monsters with pig heads pointing upwards, large steel framework bursting from the raw, bloody, decaying flesh, a sickening combination of steel and slaughtered pig. Incidentally, I really hope A Machine for Pigs is as beautiful atmospheric as the original, I REALLY didn't care for A:tDD's story, but this one... I REALLY think I could get into this one, the last was a little out there for me, but this, this seems JUST up my alley, if the frame work from A:tDD is still there, I'm going to cream my pants. EDIT: Also, I hope the scenes are darker and generally more visually distorted than the teaser portrays, part of Amnesia's immense power as a terrifying game lies in the denial of concrete visual information, and I can see the experience being lessened heavily without that skewing darkness. | ||
