The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[BAndrew]

Dynamic objects were always a major feature of Penumbra and Amnesia to ensure a grandious immersive experience for me. When I started playing Penumbra in 2008, the level of dynamic objects was really new for me. I never saw a game before, where you can grab and throw away every useless shit in the environment. For this reason I always felt to be in the game and grab things with my hand. And then they connected this nice feature with physical puzzles, where you have to use objects in the world to build your way out. This is still the best gameplay of every horror game I enjoyed. So when you have positive experiences with this system, you will automatically get disappointed when someday things become changed. So I really missed the lack of interactives in AMFP too. But it's glad to hear that SOMA will still use the original FG interactions.

I completely agree and relate to this. The interactivity on previous frictional games titles was phenomenal and innovative. I won't lie, I would be very disappointed if that featured was missing in SOMA. Nevertheless, AMFP was overall a very good game and I am pretty sure SOMA is going to be a huge success.
