Frictional Games are NOT the ones making A machine for pigs, The Chinese room are the ones developing it, probably on a slightly more updated verision of HPL2.

FG has not revealed what their next game is and for what we know they could still be working on the engine. (HPL3)

As I heard it, Frictional Games and TheChineseRoom were working together to make it. I will quote from http://www.nextfrictionalgame.com

"A collaborative effort between Frictional Games and thechineseroom. Coming fall 2012."

I'm not trying to contradict you or anything, just stating what I know.

During the Walkbridge.avi clip you can see the developer use Windows Explorer to import some bits 'n' pieces, and the file/directory names visible are quite interesting, at least in the sense that they give us an idea of some of the locations we can expect to visit:

Holy crap, hes making the new models for Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs? No wonder Amnesia: The Dark Descent looked so good! (Unless that was not him making the models for TDD at the time.)

[GrAVit]

Na, he didn't make those. He's with thechineseroom it seems.

Robert Briscoe, the guy who made Dear Esther look like Crysis and Skyrim combined, is working on A Machine For Pigs as well. He worked alongside Wesley Tack on Mirror's Edge and some other non-industry mod projects:

AMFP is gonna look perty. I wish thechineseroom would give us just a little morsel of new info, even just a stickman concept art or something!

Judging from the streetlight model, there should be some outside parts

Really? how do you know?

Actually, I think I've got my information wrong. I don't think he is working on AMFP after all. He's the guy who created the concept art we saw during the ARG, but I don't think he has any further involvement beyond that.

Sorry 'bout that
