The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Really, he said it was the textures? I thought he said something about the video quality being bad.

Yes, he said "output video quality", ie final render of the video. No idea what was broken and why they couldn't use Avidemux, for example, but Moviemaker sure shows it was last resort haha.

The game looks like a modern game i.e. it'll make my computer beg for mercy. I find 'graphics' complaints rather presumptuous. Not everybody has the time, money and fortune to get a state of the art machine.

No, it does not, to be honest. And no, I'm not talking about textures, I mean mostly lighting and [occlusion] shadows. Especially lighting, It looks so... Amnesiash? I mean, don't get me wrong, Amnesia looked fairly decent at the moment of release. But if we compare lighting in SOMA teaser video to some videos (to be fair) of Outlast - the latter looks much better in this aspect. For a game that will be released n 2015... I dunno. Unless the engine is STILL far away from finished version (which kinda funny, they already spent 4 years but it is not half ready?).

But that was just a simple fact I observed, as I said before - GFX isn't the strongest point of FG games.
