pcrk2 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) Frictional Games released yesterday the demo for their upcoming game, Amnesia I must say it was magnificent. You can download it right here Edited September 4, 2010 by pcrk2 Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
Gorth Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Ach, only just bought the Penumbra collection today (part of Gamersgate's weekend sale). I should probably play those first “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
pcrk2 Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 Don't forget to keep an eye on Amnesia. It's very Penumbra-like. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.
Morgoth Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 I never got into this Penumbra stuff, because I hate games where I can't fight back. Rain makes everything better.

HoonDing Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Clue a newbie into what Penumbra is? The poor man's Call of Cthulhu. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
HoonDing Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 It's way scarier than CoC and less buggy. As scary as Doom 3. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Purkake Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Haters gonna hate, etc. So how about that Amnesia?

Purkake Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 There are gameplay trailers as well. But basically it's an indie physics-based first person adventure/survival horror game.
Nightshape Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Steam > GamersGate... I just used Gamers Gate for the first time because of this thread, and while I liked the little reward system, everything else about the experience was horrid. Especially when I ended up buying it twice because I somehow bought the Mac version first :|. GamersGate, you suck. Now all i can do is hope Penumbra doesn't suck and is worth the small amount I paid for it. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Purkake Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 You could get the Penumbra collection for like 3

Neither the fact that it is called "Penumbra __ Mac", nor the handy little Apple icon afterwards nor the system requirements tipped you off as to what version you were buying? I guess you've proven GG isn't idiot proof, at least. Since I'm an inherently nice guy I'd point out that you can ask for a refund and since they're in Sweden you'll probably get it too, even if only as a credit. Edited September 4, 2010 by Zoraptor

Purkake Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 The Amnesia demo is pretty crazy so far. I'm surprised the dude your playing can go to bed by himself

I clicked the link from the offers sidebar, where the full products name isn't indicated. At no point was it blatently obvious I was buying a mac product until I had actually purchased the title. It is stated in small text next to platform, but as I didn't have the full window open, I never noticed the symbol. I'm not bothered about a refund, I just won't use the service again. I believe its a potentially easy mistake to make on the website. I'm also responsible for not fully paying attention to what exactly I was buying. My experience with the service was fairly poor.

Pidesco Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 One could argue that the service's experience with you was fairly poor. I kid.

Starwars Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 This game... wow. This game scares the hell out of me. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Starwars Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 How cool is this? http://frictionalgames.blogspot.com/2011/0...as-release.html Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Purkake Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Yup, I posted it to the RANDOM NEWS thread a while ago. Goes to show that you can make a good looking game on a budget, self-publish it on the PC only and receive critical and commercial success. Same with Minecraft.
Thorton_AP Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I hope Minecraft helps nudge that graphics need not be the end all be all.
