Machine For Pigs want wasn't them. Their games have all been better than that, imho. And not just better than that, but enjoyable games. I personally consider SOMA to be a top ten game of all time in my books, so if it's worse than SOMA there's still lots of room for it to be a great game.

The trailer looks incredible. Their track record is more solid in my eyes than yours. I'm pretty excited.
