So, tomorrow the movie comes?

The release date of Depth has been updated on IMDb to match SOMA's: 22 September 2015.

Oh, ok.

[DanielJarrett]

Here's the script for the trailer, as near as I can tell.

Spoiler below!

Female Robot: "Don't! I need it! Why?... Oh, it's okay. I'm... happy..."

Catherine Chun: "Oh, what in - what? What's happening? Hello? Is there anyone there?"
Simon: "Hey, hey! Can you hear me?"
Catherine Chun: "I hear you. Uh, Upsilon, what's going on?"
Simon: "Uh, hey, look, look, this place is not - there's something seriously wrong here. Hello?"
Catherine Chun: "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. We lost another relay. Oh, listen, head for the comms center upstairs. I'll wait here."

Male Robot: "What are you guys doing?"

Simon: "What are you?"
Male Robot: "Are you blind? It's me, Carl. Carl Semken. Wrangler? Any of this sound familiar to you?"
Simon: "I - no, actually."
Male Robot: "Well, thanks for being so helpful. It's not like I'm knocked out on the floor or anything."
Simon: "Are you... human?"
Male Robot: "Hu - did - did my body give it away? I try hard to stay a mystery. Yeah, I'm human! Are you?"
Simon: "Uh, my name is Simon. Do you know anything about this place?"
Male Robot: "Oh. You're new. That makes this... slightly less weird. Look, I'm obviously hurt. If you see anyone else around, just tell them where I am."
Simon: "So... where are you, exactly?"
Male Robot: "Are you for real? I'm right here. See me waving? Look at my hands. Hey! Buddy!"
Simon: "Okay, okay! I - I'm just - I'm just gonna be - I'm - I'm not seeing it. I - I see a machine, a robot talking."
Male Robot: "What the hell are you looking at? I'm here! See?"
Simon: "Okay. I - I just didn't expect you to look like that."
Male Robot: "You're really hung up on appearances, you know that?"

Male Robot: "What the hell happened to you?"

Male Robot: "Aaagh, shit! Fuuuck!"

Male Robot: "??? I need help!"
Simon: "I - I'm sorry. I - I think I pulled the wrong lever."
Male Robot: "Oh, don't sweat it. Just - get me a doctor. I'm really hurt."

Simon: "Oh God, he's dead? He's dead."

I'm having trouble hearing the ???. He's killing me? Please carry me?

??? - Please don't leave me. I need help.

I think the ??? is "Please tell Amy I need help".

I think you're right. Listening to it again, it seems obvious.

In that case, here's the script, if anyone's interested:

"What the hell happened to you?"

I think he actually says "what the hell are you?"

[Sampyli]

"What the hell happened to you?"

I think he actually says "what the hell are you?"

Nope, he definitely says "What the hell happened to you?".

However, the robot says something after "Amy, is that you?". Sounds like "What happened to the pilots there?"

I smell tumblr and neogaf.

In few weeks there will be discoveries of misogyny and objectifications in SOMA.

"Good things, etc"

Why?

the female character is a robot. objectification. also, the main character murders a female robot. misogyny.

Btw, i love the tune which plays when that jiangshi thingy (However it's called) starts chasing you. Catchy :3

[Damascus Rose]

is that the jang shi? i dont think it is. could be idk

[Slanderous]

Imagine if the monsters are actual humans, that think, feel, and hear normally, but they are placed in some kind of weird mechanic suit that makes them unable to take decisions, and is controlled by some higher force, like viruses that flooded PATHOS electronical systems. They don't want to hurt you; yet they have no other choice, this seems a LOT more disturbing to me than having enemies that don't have any senses, and are just trying to kill you.

[Damascus Rose]

I wonder if Soma uses the hub-style maps of ATDD or the style in AMFP where it was a line? Or some kind of mix..
