RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Paddy™ - 09-15-2015
Interesting that the robot sees itself as a human woman. I wonder if you took a photo of the robot and showed it to it, would it still see the woman, or would it say "nice robot, but why are you showing me this?" Or if you sketched it with a pencil, maybe even in an exaggerated caricature form, would it see a caricatured woman or a Pixar-style robot?
If a photo of the robot would still register in the robot's mind as the human woman it thinks it is, what would happen if you took that photo of the robot, and photoshopped it slightly to add extra details while removing other details? At what point would the robot see the image as being just an image of a robot? Or would its human female form appear to change more and more with each tweak you made to the image of the robot? For instance, if you remove a button or a cog from the robot's "face", would the robot see it as the removal of the woman's nose or eyebrows etc.?
Can the robot recognise other robots? How does its delusion know when to see a robot as a robot and when to substitute it for a human form? Is it consistent? Will it see a robot as Jim on one day, then on another day will it see Jim as the garbage disposal machine that it actually is?
I haven't even played the game yet and I'm already losing my sanity trying to wrap my head around this haha.

Will FG do something else after the game is released?Will they make more games?Maybe they will do the same thing with Amnesia and make a DLC for Soma too.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - MrSteve - 09-15-2015
Noticed she's kept her eyebrows shaped
I think you'll drive yourself nuts trying to find the answers to that image. There are just too many variables that it's best to take it for what it is. A robot that thinks itself a human.
In answer to fancreeper: How long is a piece of string?
They haven't mentioned anything, but this game is such a big deal for them, that taking some time off after the game might be recommended....

Isn't that Catherine from the demo?

That's not Catherine

Thomas said that if SOMA will go well, he knows exactly what game to make next.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - fancreeper - 09-15-2015

Please tell me it's gonna be a game set in the XX century 20s with clearly visible Lovecraft inspirations.

Yes, there was an ARG.
