Hmmm, where I have heard of a third-person survival horror game set in fairly dark corridors in third person perspective fighting shambling zombie-mutant things with gory attacks before?
Oh yeah, Dead Space! So, this is basically Dead Space set on Earth with escort missions. Why do people keep saying it's so original? Beats the shit out of me. I watched the whole thing and walked away unimpressed.
As a cynic, I've learned to look past the parts where the previews shout praise and look at the game being shown. And when I did, all I saw was Dead Space: Earth Escort Mission Pack DLC. Please tell me I am not the only one who sees this. X-(

This looks good! Having a little girl must make you feel really vulnerable.
I really doubt it, since you can fight. You want to know a game where you're vulnerable? Check out Penumbra: Overture or Amnesia: The Dark Descent. I've only played Penumbra: Overture and only got a little bit in (after turning on the generator) and let me tell you, that game is scarier than being chased by an elephant who wants to sodomize you.
..... Um, yeah, my point may have gotten lost in that analogy, but basically five guys ... JUST FIVE PEOPLE ... with a shoe-string budget were able to make a game with, in all reality, just-passable graphics and, with lighting, sound and music, made it incredibly scary. It took millions of bucks and a whole team of people to make AMY and I'm not impressed.
Basically, AMY is going the "Scary monster isn't hiding in the closet and is going 'ABLOOGIE-WOOGIE-WOO!' at the end of a bright hallway" route and I don't care for it. (e-cookie to anyone who gets the reference.) It might surprise the shit out of me, but I doubt it.
