SOMA E3 Trailer and the Worst Part of Dying

Following last week's release date announcement and gameplay video for SOMA, Frictional Games is releasing yet another trailer in advance of E3 2015.

Coming to PC and PlayStation 4 on September 22nd, SOMA is the next sci-fi horror experience from Frictional Games, creators of the genre-defining Amnesia and Penumbra series.

Something is happening in PATHOS-2. Communications have gone dark. Key personnel have gone missing or been declared dead in preceding weeks, and the machines are acting…strangely, almost human.

The crash at the beginning coupled with the screen artefacting every time the player gets hit practically guarantees he's a robot. That walkthrough vid already showed that the robots hallucinate human appendages instead of mechanical arms.

But you see the robots as robots while they never comment on you being a robot.

Man, I don't know. Atmosphere looks excellent, as expected, but, after the last couple videos, that voice acting kinda stinks.

They've pretty much put this part of the game right out in the open with the PR videos they've been releasing the past year:

I wonder if they've managed to make it more freakier than The Dark Descent, Machine for Pigs felt more tame. I hope they bring it.

Looks awful. There's some garbage trailers coming out of the woodwork. No wonder they left this out of the E3 limelight.

Looks great! The beginning reminded me of Metro 2033 a little bit and the ladder fall was very Outlast. both of those things are something I like. This will probably turn out to be a great game!

Not an appealing trailer but I'm loving the atmosphere, and I just love water environments in general. This is gonna be so fucking good, at least if the ARG was any indication, and the setting is amazing. Hyped.

Almost none that are compelling reasons for me to actually get a ps4, no. This game looks interesting but I'll get it for the pc if I'm getting it at all.

For users who has and use PC For games and has subjective liking For games it may not, but people looking For a gaming machine that does plug & play games there are many reasons which is why ps4 has big success With sales.

Jesus this was so creepy. There's something about the totally "normal guy" voice over the hellish scenes.... Very effective contrast. And the way he's just calmly talking about how bad dying is.

Intrigued by this fo sho

This and ABZU for my underwater game needs please ! :)

Been dying for a (deep) underwater horror game.

Wish someone would adapt Sanctuaire in fact, but this looks like it could do really nicely :)

Really liking how this is turning out. I would hope though that there's more to "The Twist" than you are a
Robot
, since that seems to be so obvious now at this point.

Also not liking the main Voice Actor too much. He sounds too dorky/nerdy, but then again I suppose that could just be what the character is.

The two live-action shorts they released are really unsettling, I mean, not in a scary way per se but more the implications. I think there's supposed to be a live-action film to accompany this game that will be released at the same time based on these clips so it should be quite interesting.

Those teasers were great.

Does anyone remember the initial reveal, where one character
finds his own brain in another room?
That scene got me so hyped for the game; really excited to see how what Frictional does with SOMA's story.

Yeah, that is still up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWHVkMIP1b8

I wonder if any of that is going to be in-game as Frictional has said they've gone to lots of revisions to the game world. But it's clear that they were thinking very dark when the project started out and I cannot imagine they'd have toned any of it down.

But yeah, I'm hyped because Frictional wants to aim for the storytelling excellence of Machine for Pigs, while hopefully keeping a good amount of gameplay.

I've got a lot of confidence in Frictional - really excited to see how they push themselves and their development forward with SOMA.
