Greetings Ramblees... er, people who read my blog (over a thousand views now by the way)!
Apparently Frictional Games (the geniuses behind the bestest horror title ever, Amnesia) have graciously let thechineseroom (the geniuses behind the bestest art/stroll-taking/tear-jerker of a title ever, Dear Esther) develop the follow-up to Amnesia; and are set to release it into our nightmares before Halloween this year! If you've played both studios' latest titles you should understand why this is (or isn't, depending on your point of view) such an exciting project. And if you haven't played both Amnesia and Dear Esther, then you really need to. Really. Need. To. Seriously.
I for one would like to see more developers do this kind of thing, and perhaps even do some crossovers. For the heck of it, here are some ideas that will probably never happen.
Naughty Dog and Insomniac - Clank and Daxter: Smaller is Better, OR,
Ratchet and Jak: Meaner Than They Look
Bethesda Softworks and Nintendo - The Plumber Scrolls I: Super Mariowind
All FPS developers - Battle-Cry of Half Resistance: Fear the Halo-Call of HonorZone
*I didn't say they'd be GOOD ideas
