RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Just a weird idea, what if the word SOMA wasn't thought in Greek, but instead in Hindu?

That would be cool. Ancient Greece also had very rich mythology which could be used as well. But as I said, my humble guess is probably just name references, nothing more. I hope I'm wrong. Wink

This has already been said pages ago. I mentioned Greek because as I said it may be more than a coincidence the fact that there are two greek names so far. It's just my opinion/observation.

Better to have a story and end it, then to never realise it has begun...

Custom story will probably be chosen in the launch app. Allows for a lot more custom content and makes it easier for users to do total conversions. Currently, the game supports tweaking just about anything, from just adding code in a map script file.

Sadly Custom Story support wont be on SOMA for PS4, better wait for some DLC instead.

It looks great! Premium stuff. Can't wait!

And yes it would be a lot better for the custom stories to be selected from the launcher instead for the reasons quoted above. Wink
