RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Absolutely loved the new gameplay trailer, I was surprised by how strongly I sympathised with the "human robots". I'm sure the game will be a total mindfuck.

But, am I the only one who dislikes Simon's voice? Undecided The emphasis and tone sound exaggerated at times, like he's trying too hard to sound surprised/confused. Maybe I'm just over-analysing it, but I felt a bit disappointed.

And I hope they included characters with diverse English accents and not just North American English. I think it makes it more believable to have people of different nationalities working in the facility.
There has to be at least one Slav, come on. Cool

There may be a way to find out where Pathos-II is approximately located. Compare the timestamps of @PathosII tweets and your local time when a new tweet is posted and we should be able to find out the timezone setting of the twitter account, which should match the time zone where PathosII is in. Smile I attempted to do it during the ARG when there were new tweets posted but forgot what I calculated (it was definitely not the time zone of Sweden, something between UTC-8 and UTC-12 I think).

By the way, did you notice that @PathosII follows xkcd?

It should be noted that before Chun (if that's who we decided called) called, there were four offline stations, of which two were called 'Lisbon, Portugal' and 'Cadiz, Spain'.

I actually liked the voice of simon a lot. A definite upgrade from the voice acting of amnesia.

I just imagined the corp. behind Pathos-II to be this huge multinational organisation with people from different countries. Majority does not equal totality Wink

When I'm logged in on Twitter, I see their last tweet as having been posted at 3:41 PM (my timezone is currently WEST, or UTC+1). After logging out, it shows 7:41 AM, so it's UTC-7 Smile

In few weeks there will be discoveries of misogyny and objectifications in SOMA.
