According to Thomas, that's the plan. Smile

Quote:TG: First of all, it is important to note that not all monsters are directly hostile. Some just simply exist in the world, and it is up to you to decide how to interact with them. We want to go beyond monsters that simply come running as soon as they spot you. The aim is to create this really unsettling feeling where you are constantly second guessing what a creature might do next.

That's actually very interesting. It reminds me of some minecraft enemies like Enderman for example. Other games as well but that's what it came to mind right now. Smile

Donno if I posted this before but anyone think the animated SOMA logo looks like Routine logo?

They sort of do.

I hope FG will do what they did for Outlast (and vice versa), cross promote the games.

I feel as if there'll be an awkward time when Routine just happens to release near Soma's release date.

I thought Routine was 2014 release?

They have no release dates.

When it's done.

So they MIGHT end up being released close to each other's dates.

I think they said in interviews it will be released.. soon? Like at end of 2013 or sometime in 2014

On topic...

Anyone else think Mikko Tarmia's music has improved from penumbra to amnesia? Hopefully he can go even farther this time and create a soundtrack that will blow us away more than ever before!

No, but really. I used to obsess over the Combine cyborg creatures from HL2.

Striders are the coolest things ever. I LOVE their sound effects.

Hell's horses. Excellent teaser trailer; I'm incredibly keen to see this develop.

I still think the Combine in general were the coolest sounding apocalyptic alien race.
