AMY (PSN, XBL, PC).

This looks interesting.

I love the concept of being infected from the get go, creating constant tension throughout the game (also using it to blend in is genius). What can I say? I'm a sucker for zombies!

For 800MS points I'll be picking this up.

Almost forgot to mention the character design (especially the zombies). Really impressive!

when I saw the thread title I was expecting it to be months away as i'd read about the game a while back. how surprised was I to find it's out next tuesday and only 800 points given the norm is 1200 these days, ?

I'll definitely give the demo a look.

Completely forgot about this. Had it on my radar when EDGE did a preview of it but that was almost a year ago I reckon.

Looks excellent for a low-budget title. Hopefully it isn't as tedious as Siren's escort missions.

Thats a great price, will have to pick this up at some point.

This looks really cool. Nice to see a twist on the somewhat overused zombie genre.

I'll definitely check it out

Actually I should edit the title of this thread as I just read on Destructoid that there's a PC version coming out later this year.

Never heard of this until today (was off a horror blog where I saw it!). Gas.

ShadowHearth

So looks like the devs asked Mericans if they wanted it cheaper, they said hell ya and it was so. It's now going to be 9.99 dorrars. whats that, about 7 euro? Still the same price for everywhere else tho.

Hi all, thank you very much for your commitment in the recent discussions over the price of AMY in the US.

70% of the voters advocated for a price drop. Honoring our commitment, we asked Sony to drop the price of the PSN version in the US to $9.99.

Because of technical constrained of the PSN Store linked to the servers, this price change will postpone the release of the PSN version of AMY in the... US to next week, Jan 17, 2012. This price drop will not affect the release of AMY in the other territories, or on other platforms, as the release date for the XBLA version is still slated for January 11, 2012, for 800 MS points in the US

We sincerely apologize for the confusion, and especially to those of you who have been supporting us for months and who would have liked a immediate release.

Once again, the initial move might have been awkward, but it was a good-faith attempt to balance the price difference of MS Points that are more expensive in Europe that in the US. We now realize that we won't be the ones to find a fair solution to avoid European players to pay their games at a higher price than in the US, as has been the case for years. But at least we tried...

We thank you for your understanding. We now hope that you will have real pleasure playing AMY. This would be our best reward.

PS1: We need to precise that we never announced AMY as a PSN exclusive. Even though it's true that Sony has been giving us a tremendous support, we've always announced AMY for the PSN, XBLA and PC (coming in several months). AMY has even been awarded "Game of Show" at E3 by XBLAFans.

PS2: To those of you who believe this was an attempt to make a few more bucks, we need to precise that we initially wanted to sell AMY at 1200 points, but this would have meant a high price for European players. In addition, we believe AMY is a full game that could have been sold at a regular price at retail but we chose to go digital.

Tallon

When is it out on PSN then?

January 17?

Immediately I lost faith in the reviewer with this line (less than ten seconds in to the video).

"......kind of like E-co............or I-co, if you're an idiot........"

Well done Mr Reviewer you've just made me lose any respect I had for you.

Is it the norm to compare Independent games with those that have millions of dollars behind them?

I really want this to be good. Aw.

Tallon

I don't think he was mocking ICO, he was just saying that the game has a little bit of a feel of ICO

He does sound like he's reading a script which puts me off.. Also, he sounds very much like yahtzee

No no no. The pronunciation quip. To me it wasn't necessary and seemed a little pretentious.

Well it is pronounced Eco just for the record

Another bad review on Eurogamer but I'm enjoying it so far. Just played through the first chapter and it's OK, although it may be the kind of game that you'll have to forgive a lot of flaws to get any fun from it.

|Played the demo , It has atmosphere for sure and the opening events had me interested enough to want to see more of it , but I really think I was expecting too much from it. Also sometimes I've spotted things in the on screen text that makes it look as if it was translated to english by a non native speaker

It's actually eye-ko. If you are an Edge reader and want to sound intelligent while not knowing what you are saying then it's 'Eco' :P

The reviewer is just being a dick pretending to be pretentious and making a fool of himself at the same time.
