Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[xdeath]

DLC sounds like an idea, although I didn't think Frictional were the kind of company to do DLC. An extra scenario, maybe? All I know is that they've definitely said they don't want to do a horror game next, so even something with "Amnesia" in the name seems unlikely.

The team haven’t said much about their new project so far, but he’s told us this much: “it’s the same sort of game, but it’s not a horror game… but then, it’s still definitely a horror game”. It’s confusing at first, but he explains himself. “If you take Penumbra or Amnesia, those games were games that when we were working on them, we were definitely thinking all the time ‘this is a horror game, this is a horror game, this has to be scary’ and we concentrated very much on the horror bits, but this time, for the new game, for us to get a fresh approach, it’s not the horror at the centre.”

“We’re trying to make a similar type of game, but instead of trying to have this need to push in as much horror as we want, we’re aiming for less of it, but hopefully better horror parts.”

What do you think Justine was?

I'm ruling out DLC, reading over Dev articles and announcements suggests only a new game(HPL 3 and all).

And that quote doesn't exclude horror. It says there will be less of it, which, in any development cycle, is subject to change.
If they know what's good for them, they will make another Adventure/Horror game.
I'm not saying that it won't be a great game if there is no horror.

BUT
The only reason Frictional is still around is due to the success of Amnesia.
Amnesia was successful, because it was incredibly scary.

I'm guessing Amnesias sales have slowed.
No console release, and they were to heavily reliant on discount sales. I don't think they can really afford to do something different.
