I think the point of the trailer being so sad and emotional (my eyes had a lil bit of tears in them at the end of the trailer) was to make people....ugh im short of words... It's like in a movie where something like in the trailer happens and everyone gets tied to the movie...they are moved by it (thats the word) And this usually makes people think about what the game would be like if a trailer reduced them to tears. The trailer was executed beautifully and the reverse timeline was really effective, but I must sorta agree with you on it being a stunt by involving the child. But yeah I loved that trailer, its about 40% of why I want the game. Agreed. It seems a bit over the top, but in the end it is just a realistic game. A bit late but heres some footage on the Xbox 360 PC version will probably have better graphics

38 because I actually started semi-running for about 10 seconds, music going and all, then he tripped and I just saved myself, and had to squidbilly myself along about 10 meters till i got bored and made him break his neck

I like the realtime tissue damage, means you can get a rake and collect faces. You can also break and detatch bones which will be cool

The game looks so cool, and I was wondering what people thought about it, is anyone gonna get it?

You should get it, it's too awesome not to

Amnesia is one of the scariest bloody games Ive ever played! It took me over 20 hours to finish, mostly during the day with a friend or two. I got it during a sale for around $8 but it was definitely worth $20. Ive also got the penumbra series which is pretty scary, especially Black Plague (the humanoid monsters scared the SHIT out of me) Anyway my tips are play during the day in a well lit room and get a friend over and have a chat while playing, and if you get too scared at some points simply try to pursuade your friend to play for a bit Heres a funny memory i have from the game The first time i got to the prison area after the elevator crashed, after I went into the darkness and walked around, i was too scared and got my friend to play for a few minutes (he was insisting "It isnt THAT scary, you wimp!"). He started running around in the dark and sprinted up a flight of stairs and ran face first into a monster, at which point he got the lantern out, saw the monster, heard the music start and flew back from the screen yelling aka he shit himself EDIT: When you reach your first area with a monster, you will probably be so scared you might wanna leave the game. Please don't do this! You need to remember that if you go somewhere dark and crouch and stay quiet with no lantern, it can't find you (also don't look at it for too long because if you get too insane youll give your position away, and you will get surprise butt sechs from the monster). Some people say turn up the brightness, but this only helps a bit, and your only hope is to get used to the game in terms of how scary it is. What I tried is on my second playthrough (first playthrough i was scared shitless the whole way through) was to set up safe areas on places higher than where the monster cant reach, or on some boxes far back enough it cant hit me. Then I would throw boxes at it and make it come at me, sometimes let it chase me around the room. Yes, it was scary but now if I see a monster, it isnt as bad because im used to seeing them. IF youre still too worried to continue, I suggest crouching through the whole game, so if a monster pops out to say hi it won't notice you right away. Now, since youre scared of the darkness (or what's in the darkness) also remember that it is your best friend when it comes to monsters. you will feel an urge to light every damn torch in sight, but if you do this, then youve got no hiding spots. Monsters are dumb as f**k and must rely on hearing or seeing you. If youre in pitch black darkness, even if its a few feet away, it wont have the slightest clue youre even there, if you keep quiet that is. OH and if one is chasing you as in right up your ass taking swings at you, DO NOT run into darkness suddenly crouch and think youre safe. I made that mistake when I went into storage. I saw a monster, got scared, panicked, got out of the dark and started sprinting. it saw me and chased me, i went around a corner into a dead end, crouched and when i turned around it was in my face! SO your only hope is to find a level door, or a regular door, or something you can climb on where it can;t get you. If its a dark enough spot even if its slashing at you it may stop and walk away. Anyway I hope this helps you progress through the game enjoyably enough!
