This isn't true. In black plague you ran between 1.2 and 1.5 times faster than the infected, meaning you could quite literally run circles around the monsters. Unless you are really good at holding drawers, you can't do that in Amnesia. You could say that Amnesia is an evolution of the game play seen in the Penumbra Series, but it is certainly not a carbon copy.

That's such a minor gameplay change that it isn't even funny. You should have brought up tinderboxes or sanity (which is useless).

Having to crouch whimpering in the dark like a school girl because you can no longer evade enemies effortlessly is a 'minor' change? Ok, sure.

BF3 looks and is amazing. Honestly cannot wait to upgrade my PC so I can run it. Although, I don't really trust Origin. And after learning about that hardrive business, I'm not sure if I want it touching my system.
