Reminds me that I still need to play the first one. Tried it in VR and it was a bit iffy but now that I’m aware of a mod that makes it better I need to give it another try.
I’m down for better graphics and 4 player coop, if it’s done well. I don’t want single player to be impossible because it needs coop, and I don’t want coop to be simple because it’s designed for single player. Needs to scale well.
Too bad the trailer is all cgi and not gameplay. Can’t wait otherwise. Is this xbox exclusive?
Probably the most exciting part of the trailer is that it all but confirms multiplayer which was probably the biggest missing element of the first game.
The description and comments on the video 100% confirm multiplayer. Honestly I’d be excited for the game either way, but I have a lot of fun playing crafting/survival games with friends so it’s appreciated.
Sure - the story is built around 4 characters - 4 teens, basically miniaturized to an ant’s size, must navigate a backyard filled with dangers, craft tools, and find a way to return to normal size.
The multiplayer element is integrated by allowing up to four players to team up and work together in real-time to explore, fight enemies, and complete story objectives, fostering cooperation in survival and discovery.
When you connect to the game you select one of the 4 teens as your avatar - only esthetics and voice impact, no material change - and the game is well balanced so it’s feasible whether you’re 1, 2, 3 or 4 players joining…
Please no. Something faster than a cyclops. I enjoyed cyclops being a mobile base, but my god was it slow. I don’t remember what issues I had with the sea truck but I’d probably still prefer the truck to the cyclops.
You know what my thing is? The Cyclops is huge, and most of what you need it for is exploring a cave network. It would make more gameplay sense if you got a big boat or submarine that acts as a base of operations, and then something a little bit like the Seamoth for deep submergence.
Trailer looks decent enough. Seems to lean strongly into the horror elements, which might be overdone, but also, it’s kinda what Subnautica 1 made a splash with, how strongly it triggered thalassophobia before munching you as a giant sea snake.
If this teaser is representative of the game, I don’t think I like that characters’ faces are shown. My memory of the original is entirely in first-person perspective, which was an important part of it being so immersive. It felt like being in all those tense situations myself, rather than watching someone else from a distance.
I panicked for a moment and thought you meant like the EA origin or whatever store instead of early access… I was wondering how they got their grubby mitts on it. Lol
Subnautica has sold over six million copies. If they don’t have the cash to fund making subnautica 2 after that, then I sure don’t want to give them EA money.
