Playing Amnesia on my smartphone

Hi there! I just wanted to share some good news related to Amnesia on other devices/consoles. I bought a phone called Xperia Play an year ago, which has a gaming pad. Also a few months ago a company named OnLive launched an app for smartphone users letting them play some PC games directly from their devices, without any download.

The good part about my phone is that I can play most of the PC games listed there, so I bought Amnesia (which is by the way nice playing in bed before falling asleep). Smartphone users can also buy a special gamepad for their phones and play it as well.

My point here is that Amnesia could have potential on mobile devices some years later (maybe developing an Amnesia game for all devices). Big Grin

And ruining the experience by a tiny screen.

Might be a fun thing to do, but I could never immerse myself in a game such as amnesia while playing on a screen in the size of my hand.

RE: Playing Amnesia on my smartphone

It sounds interesting, but I think it would ruin the atmosphere a bit.
Maybe for other games it would be nice, but Amnesia-ish games and just horror games in general I wouldn't recommend it, hehe Wink

RE: Playing Amnesia on my smartphone

It would be hard to immerse yourself as you can see in this acting script I just made...
*Playing Amnesia before bed*
*Drops phone/ipod/ipad/tablet on face*
"I am no longer immersed"
------------------------------------------
Although it would be nice on a tablet because the screen is bigger

FPS games don't work on consoles and phones.

True, although I didn't say it, I was also referring to tablets.

*Amnesia can be played even now on tablets -> gaming controller + micro-usb/usb host + OnLive and you're ready to go.

Amnesia would be nice being mobile...only on a tablet that is good, similar to playing on a mini laptop but no keyboard. That would be really nice

RE: Playing Amnesia on my smartphone

I'd say more on a tablet, but yeah if you drop it from a jumpscare, you might break it haha. Nice idea though, but I don't think it would have the same atmosphere are on PC.

Bet opening doors would be a pain
