The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

I know this is more about Amnesia than it is SOMA, but:

@frictionalgames I appreciate you're busy with SOMA right now (and I can't wait) but would you consider Amnesia TDD for PS4 in the future?

@Bulbatron Not impossible. Will look into it after SOMA is done.

That'd be cool, even though I don't own a PS4, it would definitely extend the game's life time.

Wow, less than two weeks to go.

The team at Frictional must be bricking it about now

Less than two weeks until SOMA is out. Prepare yourself by pondering this philosophical conundrum:

A patient arrives at the doctor and complains about intense back pain. The doctor changes the patient's nerves endings so the signals submitted from the affected region are perceived as pleasure. Since then, the patient feels better than ever before.

A prison warden is having trouble handling the upset inmates. A doctor is called for that, who rewires the inmates' brains so starvation, cold and filth are perceived as pleasure. Since then, the inmates have never felt better, and behave much better.

Another piece of philosophy from FG

There's an evolutionary reason for pain: it's an incentive for you to fix whatever's wrong. If the inmates enjoy starvation, they won't live very long.

On the other hand, do some things really need to be that painful? I'd love to have my sensitivity decreased.

True, but in a place where nobody cares about inmates starving in filth and cold, nobody would probably care about them dying, which I suppose would be good for the prison / the warden anyway. (Less people to take "care" of.)

On the other hand, the man still has back problems even if it doesn't hurt anymore.

Creature Trailer

I just saw this too.

Oh my God, that gave me goose flesh.

The creepiest and scariest trailer to date..

Wow, they weren't kidding about enemy variety! One was like a Borg drone, and another was some kind of lurching shadow creature. I don't think we've seen either before. Definitely my favorite trailer.
