The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Chrysler]

We've often heard in interviews that SOMA will feature quite a number of encounters with other human characters. Do you think those characters will be met in person by the player, i.e. true animated NPCs, or will all communication happen again over radio/closed doors as in all their previous games?

I could imagine them having some new forms of communication, e.g. video chat, where they could use material from the Depth movie. But I very much doubt we'll get alive animated NPCs. It'd probably be too much work to get right and the engine would need to be updated too, I guess.
