It's made to look like a pig to strengthen the metaphore they've been using this whole time. "A machine for the slaughter of pigs" doesn't mean they're going to be making a lot of bacon Wink. Humans are the pigs

Yeah I was thinking that. Walking pig men would look a bit odd haha.

So what title is it going to be? Amnesia: The Dark Swarm or Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs?

Remember the HPL3 scripting videos? The game was named Depth. Though, Frictional Games isn't so stupid to show the real name. It's probably for the lulz... Still possible.

Probably none or a machine for pigs. The Dark Descent is more similar to The Dark Swarm though.

This picture with the old machinery looks like a screenshot, remember the picture was resized from 200p to 800p. It's still really easy to see that it's a screenshot.
And the walls on the right must not be exactly the same then Amnesia 1. You know, some things get changed in next game!

I don't think it is a screenshot. look at the normal size picture on the Chineseroom's homepage.

It looks drawn out. especially the red valve wheel thing in the bottom left corner.

All of the images released and seen so far have been concept art. You can see the brush strokes and pencil markings. Just gives us an idea on the setting and time era.

Amnesia 1 looks also drawn ingame, I think it's a screenshot.
It's the render-look of Amnesia's engine.

FG never hinted the game would be called "The Dark Swarm". That name comes from way back in Penumbra's development cycle.
