Well it does now.The power of two crowned indie developer darlings have joined together to form one team set to bring theAmnesiafranchise into a new era.Speaking exclusively with Joystiq, Frictional Games andDear Esther'sthechineseroom have revealed their latest project,Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.Developed by thechineseroom and produced by Frictional Games,Amnesia: A Machine for Pigsis planned for PC release later this year. No firm date has been set, but internally the two studios hope to launch before Halloween. A recent alternate reality game has beenteasing the game's reveal, sending fans into a frenzy.'It's not a direct sequel, in terms of it doesn't follow on from the story ofAmnesia. It doesn't involve the same characters,'Dear Estherwriter Dan Pinchbeck told me. Instead,Amnesia: A Machine for Pigswill be set in the same 'alternate history and set in the same universe.' In short, the game will look to scare the pants off of you.Set in 1899,Amnesia: A Machine for Pigsfollows the 'wealthy industrialist' Oswald Mandus, who has returned home from 'a disastrous expedition to Mexico, which has ended in tragedy.'

Dude, I know we're always at odds with one another, but please don't be the loosingENDs of PC gamers. Please :?

Are you trolling? I guess you are. Otherwise wh would you edit my reply in such way that it takes a whole different meaning? I might not have agreed with your opinions before, but at least you had actual ones and could argue for them. To see you turn into primitive baiting is just plain dissapointing.
