RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Radiance - 09-01-2015
I've made a separate thread about additional gameplay and bombs for possible SOMA DLC,mod or new IP.
Concept was made in Blender and Gimp.
Tell me what you think.

Just out of curiosity, what made you decide against having EMPs?

I hope not.

Play fair.
Each to their own. The main experience of the game is unchanged.
Personally, I don't want to see them either.

If he really wants, maybe he can mod it. But I just don't think it'll fit SOMA.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - MrSteve - 09-01-2015
Similar to discussions on conciousness here, what does and does not fit in SOMA is subjective to the individual
On a personal level, I agree though.

Quote:Time for another philosophical musing, so you can prepare your brain for SOMA:
If you replace a single braincell with a silicon chip, do you become a
robot? Most would say no.
But keep turning brain cells into chips.1% of the brain. 2%, and so forth.
Soon your half of your brain will be made out of silicon, and eventually
all of it will.
At what point do you stop being you?
I think that in the moment when I put in my brain something that changes the way I'm thinking/living/behaving, I stop being who I am! Even the smallest chip will change the way I'm thinking and the way I'm feeling. For my opinion, this is absolutely not being me.

What if it was a brain implant to help someone overcome the loss of a function caused by a stroke or head injury, or simply to allow a deaf or blind person to hear/see? Would that change your perspective?
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Radiance - 09-01-2015
I'll use 50% (the silicon side)for fast calculation and 50% (the brain side) for contemplation.
That reminds me on Human brain project and research for simulation of brain's information processing in future CPU and other things.
