Apparently (and I use that word advisedly) you can pre-order SOMA for $59.99/£36.15/€45.43 on PC DVD-ROM and the PS4 from Play-Asia.com:

Thomas, care to comment? Cool

When pre-orders start we will tell you all about it in big shiny letters Wink

But colour will those shiny letters will be in?

Haha I expected as much. From that, can we also assume that the prospect of a DVD-ROM version is just as spurious as everything else on that page? I think you've already commented on the fact that the PS4 version will likely be a download-only release, but I wasn't sure if that was also true for the PC version. I imagine a retail console release involves much more money and licensing hoop-jumping than a PC one.

RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

I must agree that is pretty expensive. Aren't FG games like under 20-30 dollars usually?

RE: The Ultimate SOMA Discussion Thread

Have to agree here....I don't mind spending money on games (sometimes) but that seems a tad high.

If it's coming out on a disc on PS4, $59.99 seems about right.

It could also be Play-Asia covering their bases and pricing it high since they may not know what pricing will actually be.

That's no excuse for that price.

A boatload of indie games come out for every console ever and they're priced however the developer wants them to be.

And if it was just Play-Asia's placeholders Thomas would have said as much. Maybe he just wants to make us squirm a bit before telling us ''Hey, it's cheaper'' or maybe it's that expensive for realsies.

Regardless, won't know till FG confirms.

For realsies.
