SOMA Is Coming to PlayStation 4 and PC (Trailer)

PS4 and PC is getting a new survivor horror game in the form of SOMA. Here's the first trailer.

Seems like a lot of pc games will be making its debut to consoles. A Plethora of games incoming to the ps4. My body is ready. One more month!!

This game looks super creepy

[DeletedAcc]

And the next ps4 game on my radar

[ATi_Elite]

SOMA = muscle relaxer

PC and PS4 are Indie Dev friendly

XB1 not so much

[MasterCornholio]

Looks very interesting and the last part reminds me of aliens.

So why did Microsoft reject this game? I mean if its coming to both the PS4 and PC it should come to the Xbox One as well. And I doubt that the developers forgot about the Xbox One so I believe that its Microsoft's fault that the game isn't coming to their console.

It's the developers choice. PS4 is easy to develop for, Cerny wasn't kidding with those PS2-PS1 devtimes being possible on PS4

PS4 allows devs to cut development time down by 8-10 months! That includ porting from PC as well, PS4 is powerful as well so add that it's architecture and you have the best candidate for PC ports from small devs like in this case.

According to Cerny´s presentation just to get a graphic engine working on last gen, it took way too long, for PS3 it could take between 6-12 months (don't know the X360 but not faster than 6 months I guess)

Today, to get a graphics engine running on PS4 it takes 1-2 months...just like on PS1!

This is just the beginning, this is what SONY meant when they said they didn't pay for exclusives on PS2, not all devs have a huge budget so they choose what pays-off better for them

For a small dev with a non-so commercial game, porting to X1 sounds like risky, cost more than PS4 and MSFT might have other demands, like releasing at the same time, same quality, not free DLC over XBL, etc..all that adds dev costs and too much stuff for a small PC dev to get into.

Then you have installbase, PS4 will have larger from day one and the more of these games ads to the PS4 games libary the more console gamers realise which console offers those hidden gems.

[MasterCornholio]

In other words the developer neglected the Xbox One due to the elevated development costs caused by the difficulty of development. Which means that developing this game on the PC and PS4 is inexpensive when compared to the Xbox One. Microsoft should have listened to developers instead of ignoring them.

I think its because Sony is going to the developers and asking them to develop for the PS4, and I'm sure that frictional games never thought of being on consoles.

[TesMgsFan]

This game damnn i always wanna play games like these on a console

[MazzingerZ]

Get a PS4, more to come :)

[TesMgsFan]

I will get one :D Then the hole family will be united ( got ps1, ps2 and ps3) :D

[kingduqc]

Then why didn't you play on pc, there is hundreds of game like those...

[TesMgsFan]

Uhmm No, that amount of money to buy a pc just No

[shysun]

Looks freaky as hell!!

[Campy da Camper]

Agreed. And just as I stopped having nightmares from Amnesia Dark Decent :-(

[The Meerkat]

I feel like I've played enough formulaic games this gen. I want the weird stuff. And it seems as if the PS4 is getting all the weird love.

[Jovanian]

Spooky games are a dime a dozen since amnesia..the only thing that could set this one apart is the story and immersion factor

[Xristo]

I smiled when I saw "Frictional Games"

[Skynetone]

I like that the character talks, but they really need to get Samuel l Jackson,

AK-47. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherf**ker in the room, accept no substitutes

[NarooN]

While Samuel L. Jackson is a huge badass, I don't think I could take a horror game seriously with him voicing the main character.

"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT B****-ASS GHOST GO? IT'S TIME FOR DIVINE RETRIBUTION MUTA****!!"

[shysun]

lmao!

[Sarobi]

Oh man!

[NateCole]

Its raining games for the PS4 and its not even out yet.

[DoctorJones]

Can't wait to play this on pc.

[Crazay]

Looks pretty decent but I'm not a real big fan of games where the developer takes the cheap and easy way out by not giving the main character an actual body.

[NarooN]

So first-person view = taking the cheap and easy way out?

...Yeah, makes sense. /s

[Crazay]

No hands is what i meant ya mook. Looks silly

[MakiSaad2]

It looks very interesting.

[masa2009]

Pathetic the number of people who wouldn't even care about this game if it was not a PS4 console exclusive, and didn't care about articles about AMFP a few weeks ago.

[LordNikon]

Well not everyone games on PC, they don't need to read up or comment on something that they'll probably never play.

[masa2009]

Unfortunately, I think it has more to do with the console p**sing contest.
If the same game was announced for both XBO and PS4, it'd have 4 or 5 comments top.

[DigitalRaptor]

Can people continue to downplay the potential of indie developers anymore?

Looks excellent. I really hope they decide to bring Amnesia to consoles. More people need to experience this brand of survival horror-adventure.
