Of course blind fans will like anything... for me, I have played original with custom stories enough... Sequel should introduce something new than a story and new models. The gameplay should be changed at least a bit. From what I see now, it's all the same, only lantern has changed, and instead of hiding in closet you have to hide in a cage. I would expect much more from a team which will be working on this for more than one year.



Also - only improving some aspects, as you said, won't work. People have played this game over and over for hundreds of times, it got so boring... Everybody knows the gameplay scheme, how the monsters and scares work. Level editor and hundreds of custom stories should be judged for that.

A Machine For Pigs will be made definitely more professional than custom stories. There is a talented developer team working hard on it and get paid under the supervision of Frictional Games. When you say it's not worth to spend money for an unique good game like that, then I ask me, for what games should I spend money then? FIFA 13, Most Wanted 2012, Call Of Duty? When you want to blow your money away, then buy action games like that. But Amnesia will be a decent game for a niche of grown-ups!

The gameplay should NOT be changed. Amensia TDD also doesn't needed a different gameplay compared to Penumbra. It's also the same. And it's the typical Frictional original kind of gameplay I like. To change that, would also change the feelings of immersion as I know from Frictional's previous games. The gameplay of Penumbra & Amnesia is PERFECT, why to change that?
I'm not a blind fan.
My only sorrow is that A Machine For Pigs will be too short (seems to be twice as long as Justine). I really hope I'm wrong and the experience will be similar to TDD, 10 hours long. And that puzzles are not only to put things in, I really would prefer a puzzle system similar to Penumbra Overture. More tricky, more physic based, more thoughtful. Not simply put an object into a machine and operate a lever.
And some "scares" like you see someone walking in the end of a passage, are become familiar. You know there is nothing. This are just illusions, it's of course a good effect, but when you alrerady know the mechanics of Amnesia, you become familiar. An other problem is, that as more "effects" there are, as more it seems inplausible and every single effect lose its impact. Against with Amnesia TDD and Penumbra were scary even when nothing is happen. Just alone the atmosphere and sounds are horror. It's wrong when the player gets flooded up with effects. This will break the horror.

But I hope they know what they do and that the experience will be long, different locations with many rooms, many puzzles and a complex town with hidden secrets etc.
Actually we just can speculate about the game, but I'm sure there's more than the trailer shows.
