Frictional Games (SOMA, Amnesia) begin teasing something new

Quoting: EikeWould SOMA qualify as indie?
Why wouldn't it? Frictional developed and published it themselves.
If EA develops and publishes a 100M$ production, is it indie?
IMHO, indie is (also?) a production value question.
I'd have seen SOMA above most indies with this respect, but I'm not sure.

By the way, because I saw the tag "indie game".

Quoting: NeoTheFoxYeah, some was on a whole other level, but I loved their games since Penumbra series. Consider me hyped, it's gonna be interesting to see what they cooked up.
Somehow unfortunately, I stared with Amnesia, which, while far from being perfect, was an amazing experience. I couldn't get into Penumbra anymore after that.

Quoting: PangaeaWindows IS still going in the wrong direction. Long may it continue.
But why tho?
What is the reason we "hate" Windows? Is it just because, or is it because it's going in a wrong direction?

Wouldn't it be better for everyone if it just started to go in a good direction instead?
Of course this is not likely to happen, but it's a valid question.

I for one wouldn't care for Linux growth if Windows would be a decent, non-spyware OS. Tho that doesn't mean I'd switch, far from it.
Yes, it's a valid question for sure.

Windows drove me away from Windows, but Linux made me stay at Linux.
Now I would want Linux to gain traction, which is easier as long as Windows s*cks.
Which would also help open source.
I'm not sure that's 100% rational, though. :)

I'll keep saying how incredible SOMA was, and that I recommend it even for people who are not into horror games (it's got some "safe mode") until I'm banned from this site or burried.

;)

Windows does not have such problems. The problem is on the chair in front of the monitor. :wink:
There are no forced updates on Windows...?

Quoting: TheSHEEEPBeing banned by EA is like being banned by the devil from giving him your soul...
People should be thankful.
Reminds me of the worst German tabloid, "BILD". When I stumble upon a page there, it says you cannot read the page with an add blocker, and I always think, phew, that was close...!

Aren't the Japanese first to experience New Year ? Or am I wrong ?
For Australia, it's in 20 minutes, Japanese 2:20.
Of course, there's islands in the pacific that come even earlier, including the Christmas Island/Kiritimati. They really should have named it New Year Islands. :D
