The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Statyk]

No one said anything about a hud and its effects on immersion, why bring that up? And if you're focusing on the hud rather than the game, you're not doing yourself any service. I have to disagree, I don't think huds affect the immersion at all. Sometimes its necessary. One of my prime examples is Halo: ODST. One of my favorite feelings of immersion ever was just walking around the city and taking in the depression ambience, the feeling of be alone, and the hud was a key part of it. You wear a helmet designed for a heads up display, and games with such things definitely are better with, than without.

Don't be so quick to judge some things, it could turn out to be something totally different from what you expected. But on topic, I'm sure we can leave these ideas out until we get some solid info on what the project will have. I'm excited to find out.
