  • Neat, thanks for bringing me up to date, I watched the teaser a long time ago. It's good that Frictional Games didn't bring in another company like they did with A Machine for Pigs, didn't enjoy that one so much.

  • Don't mention it :) Yeah.. A machine for pigs could have been so much better, it's a pity.

    I found this now, the guy explains a few things of Soma, and it's actually pretty creepy, especially the Vivarium video.
    (BTW his videos might be a bit spoilerish.)

  • I heard this was coming out a while ago. I had almost forgotten about this till I saw it on my Facebook feed. It looks really good and I will most likely buy it.

  • Looks pretty "somalta".

  • Oh wow, you're a moderator now?

    Congrats, haven't been here for 6 months so didn't know.

    You won't get it if you don't speak Finnish :D

    Soma means pretty (but in this case it means nice) and "looks pretty somalta" means= Looks pretty nice.

    Sorry if you don't get it, our language is pretty fucking strange :-P

  • It looks like a good game even though that trailor was pretty boring. I always love to see what new horror games are being released, as long as they're on a platform I can play otherwise I get well gel :)

  • Aaah :D Thanks!

  • I know, I really hate when a game is a ps4 or xbox exclusive, that makes me sad as a pc user :D

  • Nope, I say. Horror is not really my interest. Besides, I got pretty traumatized when I watched my cousin play Resident Evil and some exorcist game when I was a kid.

  • At first, I couldn't play Amnesia for more than 20 minutes I was so terrified. But since I finished it I'm in love with horror games :D

    Have you ever played Outlast? If you haven't i recommend it as i really enjoyed it and there are some really good scary moments in it.

  • Outlast is maybe the scariest game ever :D Unfortunately I watched it on youtube first, but I played the dlc myself. And I loved it :D

  • That's badass that you managed to play through Amnesia. :D

    What makes horror games appealing to you?

  • I like them for the challenge, story and the chills they give me :D I prefer the type of horror games where you can't fight back, just hide or run away it makes them a bit more realistic and more terrifying.
    In real life horror situation I'd cry myself to death in a corner for sure x)

  • Heh, I understand. In some of the games I play, there are some scary stuff, but it doesn't scare me too much because I know I can fight back and win.

    When you are completely helpless and all you can do is run, then it is truly scary.

    The DLC was really fun, the Groom part was really creepy.

    They are planning on making Outlast 2 at some point but there is no information about it at the moment apart from it's going to take place in the same universe but it will have a different setting and characters.

  • That is new to me, I haven't heard they are making Outlast 2 :D Now I can't wait to see what's it going to be about.

  • Check out the brand new trailer guys! :)

  • New teaser, hm I was hoping that the monster mechanic would differ from Amnesia's but it seems like it's going to be similar (the same?)... "be quiet and don't look at it"

  • This looks neat. I have been looking for a new horror game to play, so this seems promising. If it's disappointing, I can always look forward to Silent Hil--OH WAIT.

  • Hopefully it'll be amazing and makes us forget the disappointment Silents hills caused us. :)

  • A small reminder for anyone who's excited for this game. Only 4 days left!!! I can't wait to see this game!! :D

  • I have it pre-ordered and pre-loaded on Steam, hopefully it's good as i did enjoy Amnesia.

  • I'm so hyped for this, it's been so long since they announced the game. I'm a big fan of Amnesia and Penumbra and I'm sure this'll be awesome as well.

  • Can't wait to shit myself when I play this. I bought an extra pair of pants in preparation.

  • I'm not sure about this, actually. I wasn't a big fan of the Amnesia games.

  • I've pre-ordered/downloaded it, very excited to try it out! I've never really personally played a lot of horror games but it looks really interesting.

  • Looks pretty interesting but I'd probably be scared shitless when playing it (or any horror game).

    Thankfully it's also available on the PC!

  • That's the spirit!

  • I loved the story, puzzles and the gameplay. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi and robots but I trust Frictional games, I know it's gonna be good.

  • Looks interesting. If I can't find a YouTuber who's playing through it respectfully I'll be picking it up.
