The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

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..

Can't really tell, but judging from the trailer, it would be pretty linear. But maybe there are some sites with linear parts like Upsilon and big hub sites like Lambda.

I don't recall that topic specifically, but I do believe SOMA tries to load areas as you progress so there are no limited loading screens between large areas.

Thus, there may be a hub area which may divide, but there may not be a door which you click on which causes a loading screen intermission :3

I imagine there will be some convenient cave-ins to help with that.

Probably fall down an elevator shaft, look around, realise you're in the prison cells.

Awesome. It's counter-intuitive, but fits well with his blog posts on "peaks of terror".
