Soma is a Castlevania character.

I was checking Imagos Films' Facebook page, and came across some interesting photos of possible locations where the action of the next SOMA teaser film might take place:

The hashtag they used in the posts ("Project Apophis") is their code name for SOMA.

A thought about the monster design:

As ridiculous as "Disco Ball Head" looks, I wonder if the 'Jiangshi' is in fact possessed in a similar manner to the Headcrab Zombies of Half-Life. The glimpse we've had of its bulbous face seems to show that it has multiple eyes and a mouth and that it's glowing - this could indicate that a biomechanical lifeform has latched itself onto a human host and is controlling them.

I think your theory might be right. Didn't we see one of those "disco balls" roaming free in the first gameplay trailer?

So maybe these machines do take over the bodies of humans by supplanting their brains/heads...


Also, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in this gameplay preview at 01:19 there's a sign where it says that Upsilon is a geothermal power plant.

Can't wait to see what they are up to. It seems to be a rather big project by all means.

You're back! By the way, we already knew the Project Apophis thing.

You're back!

Yep.

I know, I saw this post and also this one. I mentioned it for those who missed that information.

I'm assuming "Depth" is the video they're working on right now, because its status on IMDb recently changed to "pre-production". The release date is still December, but hopefully that's just a placeholder.

Just wrote the design for SOMAs last scene. Several months before implemention and it will probably get changed, but still feels special :-)

I hope this game will use similar revolutionary fish AI that Call of Duty: Ghosts did!
