The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

I hope this game will use similar revolutionary fish AI that Call of Duty: Ghosts did!

No, then we would have to create a companion you care about, and we can't have that in frictional game.

I'm very impressed with what i've seen so far in regards to SOMA. Though its not quite "next-gen" by graphics, the story and the horror piece will undoubtedly create a new chapter in the world of Horror.

One of the actors in Depth is talking about it in terms which seem to indicate that it's bigger/more intense than the previous teasers, at least for his character:

Every now and then a project comes along that requires you to drop everything in life and focus 100% of your energy on it.

#projectapophis is just such a project. I will be going offline until we wrap shooting. I don’t ever do this but this particular character requires complete focus with no distractions.

#DEPTH will be released congruently with the horror game - the game takes place 19 years in the future... #projectapophis #crypt14

The game? #SOMA - the film? #DEPTH it's going to be quiet beauty, violent (extreme/explosive), quiet tension = fucked up #crypt14

Huh, SOMA is going to take place in 2033? Somehow I figured it was gonna be a bit farther, still, pretty interesting.

[BAndrew]

Will DEPTH be a full film or a short one like the previous (Vivarium, Mockingbird)?

I'm somewhat doubtful it'll be a full feature length film, but I'm sure it'll be longer than those two shorts.

Interesting bits of info!

I found some really short videos of one of the locations they've been scouting for the shooting of Depth; it's a nuclear tower located at an industrial area called Satsop Business Park. Not sure if they're going to end up filming there or not, but it looks wicked cool:

19 years in the future is completely unrealistic. A setting like SOMA could take place 1019 years in the future.
