RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Kein - 05-30-2014
(05-30-2014, 01:23 AM)DavidS Wrote: Not so closely related to SOMA itself, but I strongly suggest works by Stanislaw Lem and the Strugatzky brothers. The latter especially if you have a love for weird stuff, though be warned, a lot are (more or less) subtle references to soviet politics during the time of writing and might be hard to understand. (Something they have in common with some of Lems works, though if he goes into politics it was usually more direct and often also rather humorous.).
Even I have hard time understanding Strugatzky completely and I grew up on them, haha! But yeah, Strugatzky are quite unique on their field [of ideas] of sci-fi/fantasy.
Also, new video is up:

Looks pretty dank. Would be cool to look at some slow motion explosions and stuff!
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Plazmater - 06-09-2014
So guys what you think ?
Will there be shown some OST before release just like AAMFP released Mors Praematura or not ?
I would love to hear some OST from SOMA
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Macgyverthehero - 06-12-2014
I'd rather wait till the day SOMA gets released to find out what the OST sounds like, which will hopefully make me shit myself... or cry (because Mikko Tarmia.)

For some reason I don't think the soundtrack will be scary. They said with SOMA they see the horror differently than before. An other kind of "scary". Let's be patient how SOMA manage to scare us.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Alardem - 06-15-2014
With the revelation about the underwater setting and the asteroid apocalypse on the surface, I'm excited to see this story be more about a futuristic take on Lovecraft rather than a standard robot horror story.
I wonder if the plot of At The Mountains of Madness will provide clues for how SOMA's story may work:
Spoiler below!
I suspect that SOMA might have the humans caught in a war between the robots of an ancient underwater civilization and the invading forces of aliens from the asteroid. I really doubt the asteroid impact is JUST a contrived disaster to make the setting even bleaker - we'll probably find out more about it during the game.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Chris Deveaux - 06-19-2014
It looks great but to me I think that the whole medieval theme that "The dark descent" brought us is far more scarier than futuristic/modern themes. So please FG, don't upset me with this as I am really wanting a futuristic/modern game that's actually scary, pweasse

It's good that they manage to tackle different eras with different series. But I'm assuming that SOMA will have a sequel.

It's been on the Info Portal for over a month baby
I wonder if these materials from Tapio are SOMA-related:
