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?
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.
It was sometimes scary on a screen, I'd still like to try it in wVR if it works.
It works pretty damn well in vr with the mod.
Why does Unreal Engine make the guy look like spaghetti? Every UE character looks like Fortnite.
Don't conflate the art style with the engine
But it's always UE games having this issue.
put in a bug report.
The multiplayer on this looks exciting. That's one of the features i felt was most lacking in the original
There's a mod for it that's almost flawless btw
Damn. If I had known that I would have picked up the first one on sale. Ig I’ll have to wait until the Christmas Sale
It almost happened too
Damn. I wonder what stopped it from being implemented
It's happening!!!! 🤩
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.
Yes, in the main picture. However all the gameplay photos from Subnautica 2 are in the first person perspective.
That's encouraging. Thank you.
I absolutely LOVE the original Subnautica, but was frustrated with Below Zero. I've posted multiple rants about it on Lemmy before.
Already skeptical about this game because it looks like it has
Tap for spoiler
two characters instead of one
.
A big appeal of the first game was the isolation you felt, and the struggle to find life and accomplish gargantuan tasks.
Cautiously optimistic for this installment.
Please don't have any characters yap & quip throughout this one, god, please!
I am under the impression that this game is for 1 to 4 players.
This game has 4-player co-op. Hence the second player being shown. They talked about that a long time ago that SN2 will be MP.
It's Multiplayer. Odds are those aren't characters as much as they are alternative player-avatars.
I hope enough people will buy it in EA, so they can get the required money. But I'll 100% wait til the game is complete for my first run.
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.
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
