This looks amazing!
We cannot wait to be terrified and exploring the depths, possibly in multiplayer this time (if the trailer is anything to go by).

I really hope it’s going to be closer to the original than Below Zero.
I liked Below Zero but it wasn’t able to instill the same feeling of dread and anxiety that Subnautica could. Below Zero felt a lot more “child-friendly”.
And for the love of god: Get that Sea Truck out of my sights. I want my Cyclops back!

Below Zero had far less open ocean, and far less just inky blackness. Plus I think if you played the original, you have an idea of what to expect. Nothing compares to dread of seeing a Leviathan come up from total darkness in the first one.

I didn’t see it until its tentacles had already engulfed my little submersible. I screamed like a little girl and didn’t touch the game again for weeks. No other game has ever managed to scare me like this.
- Vodulas [they/them] ( @Vodulas@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months ago
For sure one of the scariest moments in a video game.

I’m sad to say that looking at the teaser, it looks like the bloody Sea Truck will be making a return. :(
- einkorn ( @einkorn@feddit.org ) 1•2 months ago
That’s alright as long as I can use the Cyclops instead.
- Feydaikin ( @Faydaikin@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months ago
That would be the big question. We haven’t seen hide nor hair of any other vehicles.
The scary part I’d say, that the Sea Truck was supposed to replace both Seamoth and Cyclops. So there being a SeaTruck in the promo material makes me a bit anxious.

Addendum: It’s called “The Tadpole” and is likely a modular device akin to the seatruck and is theorized to be able to switch between different modules and basically lock into being a Prawn Suit, Seatruck or Cockpit in a bigger Submarine.
Just speculation of couse. But it would seem a likely route as Unknown Worlds was already testing out the modular concept in BZ.

I love both Subnauticas, but there are really only 2.5 things this tells us:
-
Giant hermit crabs exist
-
Likely multiplayer
2.5. Maybe giant squids?
I am super excited either way
Yeah, sadly that is what teaser trailers do.
I do trust them to make it good based on their previous work.

It’s co-op, that’s been confirmed for a while. Unfortunately the rest of the details so far only exist in a Discord chat. Woo…
Some{one/many} should free those details.
- warm ( @warm@kbin.earth ) 2•2 months ago
Devs should be recording the questions they answer and then put it all in a blog post.
Agreed

personally, i wanna go in blind when playing this. i want to piss my drawers when i see giant tentacles on my ship
That’s fair, you don’t have to know.
Also just to let you know, using ‘blind’ like that is ableist. It’s better to use something like “ignorant” or “not knowing/lacking knowledge” etc.
