Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[WALP]

Am I the only one that doesn't flip shit when it's pushed back? I can wait for the game if it means a better product...

This is also why you should never set a release date for anything unless you are ABSOLUTELY 110% positive it's coming out that day. If it comes Q4, I don't mind. I'm not in a rush to play it. I've been too busy playing TF2...

Well I have said it before. Pushing the date back further and further just to add those finishing touches doesn't always mean the game will improve, I'll use my drawing analogy once again, have you ever drawn a picture you thought looked fantastic and you kept adding more details to it after the picture was finished? After adding all of those extra things you realize that your picture looks horrible and over done? Polishing something can only go so far until you ruin what was an already good finished product. Yes I'm patient for the game but I'd love to know where it's at in terms of being finished.

The thing is that in games there are almost always so many parts of the image that must be ignored or halfassed to make a deadline.
As far as I know they have been dealing with quite a deadline since it was initially not supposed to be an entire game but just an expansion like justine. but now things suddenly change and they can go back and patch up whatever they have had skip, but even so there will always be an endless pile of things to polish. one example of something in the pile would be the many recycled assets we have seen.
