Finally it resurfaces again.
First sequel by the original creators, just as the first game celebrates it's tenth anniversary. SOMA was one of my highlights this gen.

Agreed, looks surprisingly bad graphically speaking. Hope the game itself is good.
It does look quite bad visually
but still, inject it into my veins
Not gonna lie, the trailer itself really did nothing for me, and the visuals are notably bad. But I have faith in Frictional Games, so i'm in 100%.
Wait... This isn't a remaster of The Dark Descent? Wow! I thought that was the case given the name, I didn't even bother clicking any threads about it after it was announced... Oof.
I trust Frictional to deliver yet another amazing horror game, and it's relasing right before Halloween too! Can't wait to try it out.

thought this was a VR game at first for some reason, and then thought it looked fine for a VR game lol
I'll still play it tho

Hot take: Sony should replace Supermassive with Frictional as their main 3nd party horror partner. Because damn, Frictional deserves a much higher budget. Amnesia was a game changer in Horror, when the genre had gone to shit in the AAA realm, somebody give them their much deserved coin! XD
It's an unfortunate choice of subtitle. I think they could get increased sales by adding a '2'.
I thought the exact same thing until I randomly decided to check the trailer out and was horribly confused, hahah.
Also, shame that Frictional probably did not have the resources to pivot the release to launch alongside the PS5 (a PS5 version might have drained resources/taken too long for such a small team). I think it could do great numbers in that launch slot.
People are being too harsh about graphics. In terms of environmental variety it looks head over shoulders better then Soma.
Looks like the setting is colonized Africa! French Soldiers can be seen in the trailer.

they do deserve much more support, they're a talented bunch
I hope this game continues the trend of success that Frictional has seen since TDD. These folks deserve it. TDD remains the only horror game to this day I've not been able to complete on account of it scaring me absolutely shitless. Here's hoping Rebirth follows in its footsteps.
As an aside, I'd love to see Frictional's take on a third-person survival horror game some day. These folks could pull off something incredible if they had the resources (Microsoft, you know what to do!)

Goddamit!!!
Same day as Remothered Broken Porcelain...
Guess will spend the rest of October playing these two back to back.. my poor poor nerves :-(

Machine for Pigs is a great narrative adventure game, but Frictional Games also didn't make that, so it should be nothing like MFP.
Shouldn't be difficult, but MfP was not as bad as people make it out to be, IMO (I'm probably part of a small minority:)
I think it would have been fine if it hadn't had Amnesia attached to the title. I expected scary and I got.. not scary. I always forget it was made by another company.
Frictional had nothing to do with a Machine for Pigs, besides publishing it.
Let's gooooooooo
Im sure the mechanic of using a match as your 'Lantern' and having to watch as it burns out wont be terrifying at ALL
Exciting to see the scope of this. Seems bigger than SOMA. Also gonna be interesting how they marry the storytelling lessons of SOMA with the raw scares of the OG Amnesia.
Honestly, so excited for this! Frictional is an amazing studio

Daniel from The Dark Descent was part of an expedition in Algeria which took a dark turn, so I think there might be a narrative link there.People are being too harsh about graphics. In terms of environmental variety it looks head over shoulders better then Soma.

I think its light vs dark. 100% of SOMA was in a dark facility at the bottom of the ocean. The bright lighting here is...noticeably not as good as the darkness
Like, think about the opening scenes of SOMA, in Toronto. That stuff didnt looks great either, but the underwater scenes still look phenomenal
I played the original Amnesia for the first time earlier this year and I really enjoyed my time despite the game itself having released a decade ago. If you are thinking about it then I do recommend a play-through. Reposting my text here if you don't mind:
By all means, make the studio's games exclusive to a platform that's not even mentioned in this announcement, much like it was with SOMA. That would be such a pro-consumer thing to do. /s
EDIT:
Can you share a link or details that shed some light on the event?
As multiple people have already said, Frictional is on my instant buy list now, so I will absolutely play this. Though, I'm honestly kind of disappointed they're immediately dipping back into Amnesia after completely mixing the setting up with Soma. After seeing their incredible success there, I would've thought they had a strong enough namesake to grab buyers without going the franchise route, and would offer us entirely unique stories every time.
I'm ready to be wrong about my doubts though. I feel they probably learned quite a bit about storytelling with Soma that makes them excited to return with this.

They are actually working on two games simultaneously this time around. The second title is likely just a year or so behind.
Okay that makes a lot more sense to me. Studio expanded so they're doing their namesake + hopefully a new story that people like me would prefer. That's great news, thanks.
