RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Oswald Mandus - 10-01-2013
Some people are calling this is a scp rip off. the hell?
RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Zgroktar - 10-01-2013
Hmm, maybe the infamous Archaic would be involved.

Some people are morons, so this is not unusual.
RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Googolplex - 10-01-2013
I'm sure, this game is NOT a collaboration with an other developer or publisher. After Amnesia they have enough money to publish their own games - plus they know they will get the full profit when there is no other publisher holding his hands on it.
And I also believe it's not an AAA budget. It will probably be two or three millions of dollars heavy, but what we actually saw just looks like a big budget production. I think the woman could even be the wife from a FG member.
I'm also sure they won't go strange and make a console exclusive title.
Of course, Sony could mailed them that they want to buy FG for much money, but it's just a stupid thought. They want staying indie.
The game actually doesn't look scary, but as Thomas said - it will not mainly be a horror game, but a game which will turn into one.
But it looks very very very different from all what they currently done.

It absolutely baffles me how you can say something like that after ONE live action TEASER.

Thomas said that in his blogs some years ago.

I was referring to the first part where you said it doesn't look scary. A game you haven't seen anything of doesn't look scary.
RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Zgroktar - 10-01-2013
This WILL be mainly a horror game, Thomas was quite clear on that, but it will introduce much deeper themes than before.
EDIT: And Atwa, you somehow misquote Googolplex's words to Paddy, it looks funny

I hope it will be scary as possible. Because that's why we all love FG so much.

Hehe, I saw that. But I know who was meant.

On the surface, it does seem a lot like SCP. The classified, numbered "Anomalies"
I mean the title of the video: SOMA #2656
The SCP's are named EXACTLY the same way: SCP #173, for example
The only thing is SCP is more modern day than sci-fi like SOMA.
Frankly, I could care less if they are copying SCP because it looks fucking AMAZING so far, and I'd love something like SCP done with Frictional's calibre of game creation.
RE: SOMA Discussion Thread - Alardem - 10-01-2013
Makes me think of the weird live-action game that Remedy (Alan Wake developers) are currently working on. I'm not very fond of live-action commercials for games, as they often point out the distracting differences between reality and fiction rather than blending them.
I wonder who the protagonist will be. I doubt it's the technician, but perhaps you could be a woman. Would be a nice change from Philip and Daniel...
Also, there may not be guns in this game, but will melee weapons make a return?
