Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[the dark side]

come on, if you want to go to war, please do it in PM! this is ridiculous!

there was leaked concept art from a Frictional/Chineseroom game on the web a while ago, wich many people assumed was from AMFP, but was latter confirmed in this very thread by one of the moderators that it was from the "other, unnanounced project". the leaked art has since been obliterated from the web.

i personally saw it on Gamespot. (i Refuse to use "IGN" as i think they are the biggest bunch of trolls this side of ankh morpork, for me, i use, exclusively, "Gamespot" for news, "The Cynical Brit" and "Arstechnica" for reviews and "the Escapist" when i want to laugh my backside off at "Zero Punctuation")

just because frictional had the art removed from all the places it was posted on, does not mean it never existed. above all, calling people trolls for no reason is not only extremely trollish behavior, its also "Slander". all you do by calling everyone who saw the leaked art before it was removed "a troll" is undermine your own point, raise everyones hackles, and make yourself look like a troll.

personal attacks, the curse of the internet.. save it for twitter people!

on topic,

as i said, on the issue of "lantern vs flashlight" have both, but also have both conform to victorian technology, ie, the flashlight is very unreliable, hard to repair, and new ones are extremely rare, and the batteries not only burn out fast, but are virtually impossible to find owing to flashlights being a rare item at the time as they were "new fangled" technology. were as the lantern (a gas jet lamp) is common, easy to fuel (as the parrafin it uses can easily be extracted from the abundant supplies of oil found in a victorian factory) but produces far less light than the flashlight, needs to be "primed" frequently as the jet looses pressure easilly, and the sound it makes will attract pig monsters. Remember AMFP is set in Victorian England, id say about 1890 odd, by the looks of the trailer, id say probably London for the setting. so the items should refelct the technology and availability of that era in time.
