The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Retomathic]

I have some questions:

1. The name of the new game is SOMA?
2. Who's the woman actor?
3. Will the game be about repairing a computer?
4. What's the "computer" in the video, did FG build it up?
5. What's this for a futuristic place? Seems like a very high budget production.
6. Will the game be about horror? Do they even try to make it scary as possible?
7. Looks a bit like a Portal 2 clone. Right?
8. Does the player have weapons?
9. Hopefully not a PS4 exclusive! Is there any info about PC version?

The game looks very different from all we know from Frictional Games.

9. NOTHING has been said about platforms, Kein was just being a douche.

I saw a comment of someone saying it is a collaboration with a studio owned by sony

All the SCP stuff cannot be the main idea behind the game as Thomas didn't know of SCP before May:

Shit, I feel late to the party but just found out about Creepypasta and SCP. Both have surprisingly good stuff.

Does the player have weapons?

From Thomas:

At least once a week I think: "This would be so much easier to design if the player had a gun".

... FINE. I'll but a fucking PS4, jeezus, FG, give me a break.

Just watched the video again and it's definitely the same woman on the screen.

edit: The only thing these two have in common is futuristic setting (and possibly sentient machines).

OK, that means there are no weapons, or at least no guns.

Fascinating - Soma so far makes me think of System Shock.

Also, the red-haired woman brings to mind Amabel Swanson.

I have some questions:

Spoiler below!

1. The name of the new game is SOMA?

Yes, it's an acronym. It means Solar Organic Mining Arse.

2. Who's the woman actor?

Loretta Thighstains.

6. Will the game be about horror? Do they even try to make it scary as possible?

It's a horror about what happens when a ginger person is allowed to tinker with electronics.

8. Does the player have weapons?

As seen in the video, your character will have a screwdriver and a tinderbox-powered hadouken.

In all seriousness, I'd also like to know who the actress is, and I wonder if she'll have a role in the game itself. I hope she does, she seems pretty talented.
