RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

That monster is from the Penumbra Tech Demo. It didn't make it to the final release though.

RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

I remember reading about it in the Penumbra section of the forum.

Here's a link with some information about the monster:

http://penumbra.wikia.com/wiki/Hunters

You can download the Penumbra Tech Demo here, in case you haven't played it already. Smile

RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Say, any ideas on what the PS4 version will get instead of custom story support?

Mostly likely replacement I think will be DLC that comes after the release.

I expect a game from FG that had religious commentary to be very much against the idea of a christian god. But that's me inferring from their love of old Howard.

When Lovecraft isn't very nice towards christianity, the game is a piece of waste nobody should play because of a huge risk of stupefaction. But which christianity does the game mean? The "true" religion Jesus told us, or what humanity in the middle ages or even today made of it? Such "bad things" about christianity are not part of the religion, it's just because humans are humans and humans do mistakes. We are the evil, not the religion. Christianity is the best "good" we should esteem.

In addition god isn't always just part of a religion who is the righteous and god of freedom etc.

I mean the physical god, who made the universe and hold his hands over the world. Did you ever ask from where we come, from where all those things come? How were they made and why? Why do we exist? Are we really alone in an infinite space? Nothing can be so easily have always been there. Why the big bang occured? And how? Someone "almighty" must be the creator. This will never fit into our brains, but god is the only answer. And when you think about it, there must be something like a god, otherwise it's not possible to understand.

So there's a religious god and a physical god (it's still the same), but people have different perspectives.

And I also have to say, that all games from Frictional Games, especially Machine For Pigs are exactly about christian values where the game show us what's going wrong in our world. It's a mirror of destruction that wants to make us thinking. We could see the game is like "god".

But a game which is about god and astrology would be great, especially for scientists.

RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Ah come on, there's a zillion other religions that contradict Christ's version. That ought to make anyone a skeptic.

Besides, the Tuurngait struck me as a bunch of hypocritical liars, decrying their murdered and mutated victims as 'monsters' while tormenting poor Phillip himself. I suspect that whatever the antagonists of SOMA really are, they may perhaps be slightly more sympathetic than the Tuurngait...
