SOMA: What are you looking forward to?

[Damascus Rose]

When it comes out. Holy shit I've waited so long for this moment since I first played amnesia in 2011 or so. The next frictional game, combining all the lessons they've learned from their previous revolutionary titles with financial security and 5 years development time. For me personally, the concept could not be better. Nothing interests me as much as these philosophical questions of consciousness and reality, and combined with a sci-fi horror setting it could not be more intriguing. And frictional making it? It's practically a dream come true. Everything we've been shown so far has been incredible, the quality of it really seems like they care about what they're making. It's definitely a passion project, a game that really wants to be made.

Since the first teaser in 2013(?) I've always had this game in the back of my mind, excitedly checking for updates and being so happy when one finally came. It's been a long time in the coming, and it feels crazy that it's finally out in 18 days. I'm slowly preparing myself for when the moment comes; re-watching all the teasers and trailers and even looking to buy a nice expensive set of headphones to play-through amnesia for the umpteenth time and get the maximum immersion when I finally play SOMA.



Frictional- if you read this, we're all so excited and ready to play what you've been creating for the past 5 years. And as a huge fan of your work since Amnesia days, I want to thank you for all you've done in making these incredible and influential games. You should all be very proud of yourselves!

And with that I say, stop reading the forum and get back to bugfixing! You're so close to the finish line!!!!!
