RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Alardem - 05-25-2014
A near-future setting would explain why the human technology displayed in SOMA isn't ridiculously implausible.

lol , huge exaggeration
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - RedKnight - 05-26-2014
19 years in the future...then it's set in 2033
EDIT:
Dammit! Potato said it already
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Paddy™ - 05-26-2014
I wonder if it's set 19 years from now (2014) or from the game's release date (2015). Not that it matters all that much!
It's a pretty dark thought to imagine being in a facility at the bottom of the ocean while everyone (or almost everyone) on the surface is dead. It gives me the same sensation in my chest as when I imagine being buried alive in a secret grave; a complete, total and irretrievable loss of connection with your life and your loved ones. I anticipate good (by which I mean "harrowing") things for this game.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Potato - 05-26-2014
I'm really starting to like the idea that the reason the game takes place under the sea is because a catastrophic meteor storm pretty much destroyed all the land on the surface. It just really works somehow, sort of a new take on an apocalypse.

Rehearsal and Production Dates & Locations
Shoots late May-June, in the Seattle, WA area.
Man if the damage is less worse and it was a nuclear attack, Metro 2033 and SOMA could be in the same universe!
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Alardem - 05-26-2014
This could be another reason for the protagonists being isolated - there is no homebase to contact.
I wonder if the "meteor strike" is related to the aliens.
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - Chrysler - 05-26-2014
"Apophis" is the name of an asteroid that comes close to earth in 2029 and 2036, the timeframe when the game takes place.

Thanks alot! Now i am really fucking scared of the end of the world
RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread - GrAVit - 05-26-2014
Who's to say that the technology present in the game will be all created by humans?
