Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Tesseract]

Strange that the devs more enjoy playing AAA-games like Far Cry 3.
How the hell could they make a "very different" game like AMFP then?

I think, most indie games are not just more experimental, they are also better. Or does anyone think, EA could make a better horror game like Dark Descent? Even more frustrating is the fact that a lot of *TRASH* on the TV and game console do get a (big!) budget to produce their FOUL.

Indies are smaller and risk more experimental ideas, and what we see is Penumbra or Amnesia with VERY emotional and intellectual story and mediation!

I think, games should be seen as art. Not like just playing for fun.

I agree. Indie developer makes good games, not unlike big companies that made bad games. I also agree that games should be seen as art. But, where do you get the info that TCR enjoy playing AAA games more?

Dan Pinchbeck said in that Rock Paper Shotgun interview that he usually plays AAA-action games rather than games like Dear Esther. But that shouldn't have an impact on their abilities to create good horror games.
