with amazing atmostphere and great ratings.

Why? Not even Frictional matches that description. Didn't stop me from loving most of the games they've done so far.

thechineseroom so far has worked on experimental mods. The one commercial remake they've done has received high ratings and is praised for being atmospheric. The quality of the writing, acting, and music in their mods alone have been top notch, better than many commercial games.

So now that they have a budget, have hired more professionals, and are aiming to create a well rounded game? Yes. I'm excited and am looking forward to it.

Well said.

I'm sure it just kills him to know that someone on the internet doesn't like him.

Considering his personality, I'm sure it does.

I was smiling whilst reading this thread, for those of you lowering your expectations of AMFP's music due to Jessica writing it will be in for a surprise. The music for Pigs is absolutely stellar, the tracks are incredible.

You only need to listen to the music in Esther or on her website to realise how talented she is.

I really hope so, anyway, I apologise for my preconception. I just get worried when it's something new when I was fine with the old one.

I just hope that the music is just as creepy (or creepier) than the music was in Amnesia TDD. If it weren't for the music, the game would be much less scarier.

The only problem I had with the music from Dear Esther is that there wasn't enough ^.^, I enjoyed the natural ambiance of each chapter, but I wished that there was music constantly playing.

(Yes, I consider Amnesia (and to an extent penumbra(BRACEPTION)) to be a genre defining game. Hell, I consider it one of the greatest games ever made)

No you're not the only one that smirks when you hear her last name

Ofc I smirk and then immediately feel sorry for her for having a last name like that, that's gotta suck

This thread is one big laugh.

I just hope that the content from the next Amnesia game can be used along with the content from The Dark Descent to make more versatile custom stories. If not, I will be very sad

I'm sure it'll have a similar relationship to Penumbra and Amnesia. We will probably be able to find a way to convert them, assuming they give us access to the resources at all.
