If you, like me, need a lot to expertise the undersea existential horror of Soma however you, like me, want to face up, flip away, and exit for a brisk stroll when the primary monster lunges at you, there’s hope. An official ‘Safe Mode’ is coming to Soma, which builders Frictional Game say will supply “the chance to explore the story without being eaten by monsters.” One seahero has beforehand made a mod which stops monsters from consuming your face, however Safe Mode will make your security official.
Frictional announced Safe Mode alongside a launch date for Soma’s Xbox One model. That’ll launch with Safe Mode included and Frictional say the mode will come to PC in a patch on the same day, December 1st.
I’ve dropped Frictional a line to ask about how precisely Safe Mode will work. I’m wondering in the event that they’ll do something completely different with it. I’ll let what I hear again.
That mod, first launched by ‘The Dreamer’ in 2015, retains the monsters within the recreation however makes them non-hostile. Mostly non-hostile. When they’re roaming round ranges they received’t assault you, however they do nonetheless make their horrible noises and chase you (with out harming you) throughout sure sections. Hostile sealife remains to be current and can nonetheless nibble, although it doesn’t damage.
In some methods, the monsters are higher once they’re not consuming you. Their very presence remains to be DREADFUL and being eaten can change into irritating, which shifts reactions away from worry to irritation.
Not performed Soma but? See Adam’s review.
Oh, and do take a look at JP LeBreton’s game tourism page in the event you’re seeking to take away baddies from extra video games so you’ll be able to poke round at your personal tempo.
