The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

[Cuyir]

They're still using CRTs and fluorescent light bulbs, so maybe the twist is that the game appears to be set in the future, but it's actually 1988.

Would anyone feel "cheated" if there were no direct combat, but you could still hurt or kill the enemies? For instance, luring enemies into a pit or otherwise use the environment to harm/disable them?

That would be cool.

A combat system like Condemned's would be AMAZING but I don't think they're doing that with Soma haha.

Alardem brings up an interesting point. If the game takes place in an area that was recently under ''human'' control then you'd expect some sort of weaponry or tools for the scientists/guards to use to protect the place.

Buuuut...what if it takes place in the Laboratory that was shown in the teaser (Pathos-2 I assume)? There was alien influence there. Something docked or something with the station/ship/building and supplanted itself there. If aliens took control of Pathos-2 they SHOULD be intelligent enough to remove anything that their test subjects might use to defend themselves.
