The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

An other reason is that Humble Store has the original files/setups from the developer that are not "converted" into a third-party installer. GOG also has a bad update strategy. Instead to include the updates directly into the main file, they release a patch even when it's only 2 MB, some games are not up-to-date and others are not multilingual. I ordered "Knock Knock" there which is only in english. Then I bought it later on Humble Store for a low price and it has also multilingual subtitles.

So then are custom stories only able to be created and used via SteamWorks? I could see why they'd want to prefer that outlet if that's the only placed where that functionality is really supported.

I mean, to be fair Frictional is only 14 people, so it's not like they've got massive resources and manpower to cover all the edge-cases and implement so much functionality across multiple download platforms.

Amnesia could be pre-ordered at 8 different stores as I remember right.

A question about Depth...

Will Depth be available on Steam as a movie you can buy?

Well, I think it they said somewhere it'll be on youtube, but I'm not 100% sure.

I want to suggest Depth as a movie for my school's Halloween break movie at the end of class.

Would that be a good idea?

Frictional Games just posted this on twitter:







HOLY SHIT WTF IS THIS

Isn't one month a bit short for bug fixing and tweaks?

tweaks = adding more bubbles
bug fixing = this

There's a bit more detail in the Facebook post:

SOMA has now reached content lock mode!

This means that we will no longer be adding any new content, except for really trivial things (eg some new menu detail). The remaining time will be spent testing, doing minor tweaks, fixing bugs, take care of any certification issues we get from Sony and some more testing.

We can also confirm that the game seems to run smoothly on just about any computer we throw it at. If we lower the settings a bit, we can get it to run on integrated intel cards, an ultrabook, a mac book air and other not-very-beefy setups. It is without a doubt the best optimized game we have ever made.

On PS4 the game will be running at a steady 30FPS in 1080p with all quality settings on highest.

Finally, here are some stats from SOMA:
4113 entity files
8984 textures
6240 meshes
914 animations

And most important of all:
2312 footstep sounds.
