From the blog:

"Worst must have been the major server failures that we had on the days before the first teaser would go live. This turned out to be because of a DDoS attack and took quite a while to fix (Jens had to come out of a parental leave to work on it)."

Jens, we salute you Heart

RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Draug - 10-11-2013

Hell yeah the teaser was fcking awesome. The PS4 version is almost purchased. Smile Annnnd... it seems we are not playing reed.

EDIT: I read this:

Because of this, the video does not star the protagonist from the actual game, but a totally different (and minor) character.

So.. nevermind Big Grin

Aye, Jens! We salute you, mate. Wink

God I'm so pumped about this game! I was a bit disappointed when I read "2015" because I thought it was going to be released next year, but I'm sure it will be amazing!

Seriously? Already whining?

This is from the latest blog post:
Spoiler below!
Quote:And then of course the final trailer reveal had to be problematic too. Early on the day before reveal (as of writing, yesterday) Tapio, external sound person, had finished editing the trailer, all of David's, external art person, animations were in and all sound was synced and nice. However, as he exported the final version the quality was crap. I had hoped to have a calm day and just code stuff but instead I had to help Tapio search for the error, trying to convert files better, etc. Nothing worked. On top of this, our ftp servers were really slow and sending files took a long time and was a general pain. Eventually, I had to re-edit the entire trailer (adding animations, fades and syncing sound) using Windows Movie Maker as quick tests showed the final quality was much better there.

What.
Why are you so unreasonably angry? Do you want to talk about it? I'm here for you, baby.

RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - GrAVit - 10-11-2013

Man this is amazing! But yeah, there's always 2 kinds of people, the ones who pick out all the "bad" things about the trailer and bitch and whine about it, and the people who are actually grateful for a trailer this soon, along with a very detailed blog post.

It's written on the blog that the character in the trailer is NOT the character which will be played in the game, but a minor side-character.

Don't know if this was aimed at me or Googol. I never said there wouldn't be a PC version, just that the PS4 was the only version hinted at, so it was best not to assume anything until we heard something official. I did say not to assume it was coming out soon though, and am actually surprised by how far in advance of the release these teasers are. Now I've got SOMA added to Cyberpunk 2077 to wait ages for! Sad

Anyway, now that we know it'll be on PC, I'm happy... but...

...they haven't said that it will be released on PC and PS4 at the same time! It could be a timed exclusive and come out on PS4 in January 2015 and on PC in December 2015 for all we know!

What? I'd rather have low expectations and be surprised than be disappointed! Cue more lively debates until that happens! Big Grin
