Before Sub1 release everyone expected that Submachine doesn't exist.
Before Sub2 release everyone expected that the lighthouse was normal lighthouse in the coast.
Before Sub3 release everyone expected that they ended inside a computer.
Before Sub4 release everyone expected that lab was going to be full of scientists and lab equipment.
Before Sub5 release everyone expected that the player was going to work inside the lab.
Before Sub6 release everyone expected about a defense system with cannons and missiles.
Before Sub7 release everyone expected it was going to be full of Hi-Tech machines.
Before Sub8 release everyone expected that the player would be already in the Layer 5.

All is true! :D

Why?

Because we're seeing organic, human-made and ancient constructions since Submachine 7 and I kinda miss the Hi-Tech of Submachine 6. I would like a change of ambients.

Then you feel the same as me (and Sublevel, I think).

So far the preview screenshots look like they're from the same layer, maybe we won't be using the navigator?

Me too.

I noticed the change of ambiences during the Submachine games:

In Sub1, Sub2 and Sub3 there is a total unknowledge that makes these the most fearsome Submachines (Acording to Sublevel)

In Sub0, Sub4, Sub32, SubFLF and Sub5 we are in places that are always similar or practicaly the same, making a sence of Deja Vu and familiarity with those repetitive places.

Sub6 has an unique ambient: Its the only Submachine that shares a complete futuristic atmosphere (Excepting the tunnels).

Sub7, Sub8 and Sub9, as Rulo describes, we are in places that always seem human-made, and thats because we are in the Core. The Core have some kind of mystic ambience which seems to miss the "Machine" essence of the "Submachine".

In Sub7 we found real plant life, and now in Sub9, everything is turned to stone... Something spooky is happening methinks.

I believe these are just references to hinduism, nothing necesary related to the plot.

Yeah, i think I understand you.
Plus, for me, Edge's quiet ambience from Sub6 adds at least tiny part of horror atmosphere to Sub6.

Temple's music from Sub8 is the most serene and calming. I would be glad to hear something unique in Temple. Not like we heard in Plan.

I know - Thumpmonks can do such things very well. :D

Of course, there is menu music, which is always unique.

gemini doesn't like Alex Voytenko.

I like it actually: it expresses a sort of (ambiguous) closure that will most definitely be needed in Sub10 – at least that's my opinion.
