The set appears to be CGI ..... notice how the actresses' foot goes through the bottom of the door opening when she goes out of and comes into the room. The closing door is obviously CGI.
I think everything is CGI, except the table and the girl. Even the chair seems to be CGI. Ghost sci-fi things. Seems cool Smile

RE: SOMA Discussion Thread

It won't take much time and resources to make a similar monstrosity like that TV IRL, to be honest.

RE: SOMA Discussion Thread

I have some questions:

1. The name of the new game is SOMA?
2. Who's the woman actor?
3. Will the game be about repairing a computer?
4. What's the "computer" in the video, did FG build it up?
5. What's this for a futuristic place? Seems like a very high budget production.
6. Will the game be about horror? Do they even try to make it scary as possible?
7. Looks a bit like a Portal 2 clone. Right?
8. Does the player have weapons?
9. Hopefully not a PS4 exclusive! Is there any info about PC version?

The game looks very different from all we know from Frictional Games.

Yeah. Imagine. Your character calls tech support because his computer just showed his death and the operator goes "have you tried plugging it out and back in?"

The chair was real, also the TV-thingy (at least the front half that she was interacting with).

BTW, why was it a CRT TV - haven't they advanced to LED or OLED yet? Wink

RE: SOMA Discussion Thread

This is the game i've been waiting for since Amnesia: TDD! So glad they decided to use a sci-fi setting, should be very interesting!

Also, somehow it reminded me of this:
