Will they add a thalassophobia mode?
>>738534641It's a hard pass for me if I can't play as a nonbinary character with vitiligo
>>738534641>thalassophobiameme word. But if this game doesn't instill fear in me the way the first game did then I don't care about it.
>>738534641looking zesty
This looks more like Below Zero than Subnautica 1 do farhttps://youtu.be/6t2nDHldoSk
>>738535605How so?
>>738534641>more antiwhiteismSeries is dead jim.Move on.
Chance of this being any good are negligible.
>>738534641the first game was already a boring piece of shit. why would the second be better?
what is the implied story of the second one? the trailer is constantly talking about finding a nice spot to die, and this planet is a great place to die many times, are we clones now or some shit?
>>738535647I don't know exactly, more like vibes. It looks too happy and colorful to me.I know the first one was colorful in the starting area, but the contrast and colors seem 200% like they were in BZ
>>738535840They said something about "sleeping" or something, I think we're the emergency crew for a stranded colony ship. There's cloning technology since it's going to have a focus on co-op so we'll be dying a lot trying to do whatever we need to fix the ship and get to our real destination.Or we're the terraforming crew laying the foundation for the colony.
>>738535840I mean the first mention is the escape pod making a joke and the other two are the same woman that sounds brainwashed or something
>>738535840since it's a coop game, they added an in-universe reason to respawn.
>>738534641I need a transphobia mode
remove all the waterr_fullbright 1
>>738535972Well IMO the issue with Below Zero wasn't how it looked but with the gameplay, being on land too much, and the story
>new leviathan isnt even scary lookingwhat were they thinking?
>>738536232>why wouldnt they spoil the whole game in their first trailer
>>738536168And the main character who WOULD NOT SHUT UP.
>>738536268>confirmed 1 new leviathan>made an hour long youtube video showing how it was rendered what are you yapping about?
co-op is not subnautica
>>738536352Yeah, they said the protag in this game has no voice lines thank god
>>738535605That looks absolutely horribleIt doesn't even sound like a survival game at allDid they make it into Minecraft or something?
>dev livestream>all the mysticism and deafness of the ocean is gone because there are 4 of them all cruising along in their own seamoth(equivelant) bumping into each otherwhat a shit show lmao
>>738535986>a focus on co-opWhat, why? What the fuckI guess they really meant it when they said they never intended for it to be a horror game, because they actively stray further and further from everything that people actually liked about the original.
>>738536573You realize you don't actually need to play coop, right?
>>738535605Man, I want to like this, but as a /v/irgin I must be extremely angry at it and tell everyone how much I despise it or else I'll be mocked and ostracized.
>>738536475>all the mysticism and deafness of the ocean is goneAnd it doesn't even sound like a survival genre, with the "Pick a place to die" thingI got 100% on the base game, but this is a hard pass at this point
>>738536632Doesn't matter, the fact it exists already makes the game woke DEI liberal trash.
Late 22nd century Mongols be like:
>>738536362It's a giant Cthulhu monster, it's what people have been begging for since EA for the first game and why there's an actual Cthulhu mod for it along with a bunch of other mods for gigantic eldritch things like The Bloop, The Silence, and the Gargantuan Leviathan.
>>738536662>And it doesn't even sound like a survival genre, with the "Pick a place to die" thingDid you even listen to the trailer? It sounds like some brainwashing/mind control shit a creature is doing, and the other lady says to stay away from the tree. Pretty clear to me.
>>738536662I know, right, one vague line in a trailer completely confirms all of my worst fears that I was hoping would be true so I could spend years crying about the game.
>>738536775Kek
>>738536878Nope, it says everything from the first game is well and truly gone, forced multiplayer and outright tells us it's not horror, not survival, nothing but faggot trash.
i will now gooncore my twp to your aquatic adventure ludonarrative

"When we were thinking of Subnautica 2, we wanted to make the game more like Subnautica 1 than Below Zero."https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2767907694?t=0h57m55sHOPE
>>738537163nah bro they're just lying, it's woke slop trust the plan
>>738537245I heard a french accent in the trailer so I think they try to learn from their mistakes.
Looks good but not going to bother until it's actually finished in two years.
They really don't understand why people liked Subnautica, do they?
>>738535605>Playing as a black personNo thanks
>>738534641If I was going to spend money shilling a game I probably wouldn't invest in the place that is most knowledgeable about how shit my product is going to be.
>>738537503the character is also black in the first one, and the game was great.
>>738537623Never even heard of this series before. And I very much doubt that it was
>>738537489i get the opposite reaction from the live stream. From what they're saying, they understand a lot of stuff that didn't work in SN Below Zero, and a lot of thing that they need to go back to.They also talk about the heart of the game being an exploration game and not a survival game, with the survival aspect just a way to drive exploration.
>>738537489i liked the island in subnautica
I'll just watch someone else play it and see how shit it is so I can shitpost about it on /v/ after launch
>>738537670He was and it was. Begone troll.
>>738534641how do these guys keep crashing on random water planets? someone needs to take away their keys
>>738537735That DOES sound promising. But I'm not going to immediately pick this up regardless, I'll let them finish their EA cycle first and then purchase
>>738537489What am I supposed to be tantruming about here? There was dry land in the first game and you don't need to play the multiplayer.
>>738537814That's the lightest black person I've ever seen. Is everyone who isn't as pale as a fish belly "black" to you people?
>>738535117It won't. You only get that sort of reaction once.
>>738537814He looks south east asian or something, not exactly full negro
>>738538507Okay, now post the black from the trailer you originally complained about
And homophobia?
>>738538949>you originally complained about?
>>738539068this post >>738537503
>>738537163Jesus fucking Christ why is EVERYONE so fucking faggy now? Nerds did not used to look like this, and was is there always always ALWAYS some fat ugly woman with resting bitch face involved?
>>738539124Talking to the wrong person.
>>738539158Maybe you should do something about this, like getting fit and making your own games, or hunting down and slaughtering those people.
>>738539313Okay, well that person mentioned black first and that's why it kept being used probably. they're just mutts.
>>738538949You mean this?
>>738534641I will only consider playing this if they ditch the voiced protag and the pajeeta pda voice from BZ. It was so unbearable.
>>738534641Ngl coop sounds pretty good
>>738539806looks like a favela monkey to me
>>738540042If you want to a co-op survival game you should probably play one of the ones that was designed from the ground up around the idea rather than one that tacked it on last minute after two lawsuits from their publisher.
>>738540130Fuck. Theyre gonna double down on the obnoxious voiced black woman protag aren't they.
>>738540174There is no voiced protag, they said in a Q&A recently
>>738540152He's a friend slop gamer that thinks playing literal garbage is fun as long as he's playing it with someone else. Never trust their opinions on anything.
>>738540174
I really wanna play this but I guarantee you it will run like absolute shit no matter what hardware or settings you use. Subnautica didn't run well on release and this game is clearly going for more grafix while running on UE5 instead of Unity like S1. Frankly, my concerns about gameplay are entirely secondary, I don't think this game will even be playable because of performance issues, not just because of UE5's reputation but also how bad S1 was on a technical level (mushroom forest lol).
>>738534641>could've had your character covered head to toe in a wetsuit>helmet could've had a pitch-black visorI guess it's a crime to cover up PoC's (poo of color) so the helmet stays off and the gloves too for good measure.In regards to the trailer. It does not inspire confidence. Whole lot of yappin'.Seems you can go into 3rd-person too now?Not a single attempt at making your butt-cheeks clench by going into the deep dark unknown.They didn't learn a fucking thing from below negro.
>>738540419Yeah it still kinda runs like the ganges even after years of patches, also 15 fps with frame 2x skip/blending to 30 fps is the new standard for unreal slop
>>738537036This is the one thing that will keep me interested.Love me some skintight suits bros.Only problem is my co-op friends like playing males *spits*
>>738540438>Not a single attempt at making your butt-cheeks clench by going into the deep dark unknown.Why would they spoil that stuff in the trailer?
>>738540438Just for you, we'll make a swimming game with the whitest man to ever exist as the protag and have him covered head to toe and silent.
>>738540234 I can't be bothered to verify if your words are true but I hope you're right.
>>738537503ThisNo buy and I am black myself.
>>738540676They don't have to outright spoil it, but they could at least show us there'll be reasons for cold-sweat moments that takes hours to work up the courage to face like in the first one.
>>738537503I really don't care as long as I don't see the protag and most importantly I don't hear the protag.
>>738535972>It looks too happy and colorful to me.i agreetoo much color and sunshinethe retarded faggy frolicking in the trailers doesnt help either
>>738540676If you don't show the entire game in a trailer, /v/irgins create entire worlds and universes in their minds filled with every single one of their fears, angers, and personal demons, then pretend it's reality so they can manufacture enough outrage to keep threads like this going for years.
>>738540720Thanks bruv. Be sure to give him a big dick too.
>>738540810Which woke game being dunked on made you mad?
>>738540890Probably just a shill.
>>738540890>something /v/ has done for years and years to most game trailers>"who hurt you? why you do this?"
>>738541041/v/ has no power. You're getting mad for literally no reason. If you want a toxic positivity hugbox for woke garbage then go to reddit.
There is a perfectly fine thread here? >>738523393
>>738541041My dude this game is under much scrutiny because we know from the krafton-debacle that they're severely behind schedule.The fear is that they ain't got shit.They're gonna release into early access with a sand biome and a handful of fish.They have the opportunity to dispel these concerns by actually showing something interesting, but instead it's more sand. More habitation-pods we've seen from the first game and more seamoths.Their early-access description is also vague. Filled with weasel words like "several". Nothing substantial.Disappointment is on the horizon.
>>738541134>/v/ has no powerI thought /v/ influenced the entire planet, could you make up your mind?
>>738541357What the fuck are you babbling about retard.
>>738540776It's subnautica, that fear is like the #1 thing on a to-do list, it's implied it's there
>>738540152>>738540241>subnautica is fun>friends are funPerfect match
>>738541531>funFuck off with your reddit buzzword.
>>738541694Only blast havers allowed
>>738541493Yet they've done nothing to show this.It looks very go-happy go-lucky. Everything's occurring in shallow safe waters.We only got the first cinematic where la luz gets sucked into a hole and we get jumpscared by some aylmao piloting some underwater vehicle.Why not at least ALUDE to something similar in the gameplay trailer?
>>738541928The giant Cthulhu monster was also in the cinematic trailer.
>>738541928>It looks very go-happy go-lucky. Everything's occurring in shallow safe waters.That's generally how scary movies start. Go on vacation having a good time, something goes wrong and the family gets murdered. I guess you're one of those weird people that wants to see the first death and the monster in the trailer or something.
The first game was alright but I can't really trust them to be able to make another good game, it felt a lot like they accidentally made a good game and probably don't understand what made it good or how to improve on itThey are also infected by the leftist DEI brain virus
>>738536775
>>738542220Tell me about it, nobody would even know non-whites existed if it wasn't for the virus, parasites, and worms God created to force everyone to know the demons we rail against haunt us every moment of our lives.
the main Sound Engineer getting fired really fucked the whole audio ambiance in BZthey never managed to get to SN1 level in BZ audio wiseit looks like he's not back in SN2all he had to do was to not open his retarded mouth on twitter
>>738542507>victim blamingyikes
>>738542583Maybe you shouldn't use your official work account to make retarded jokes about helicopters.
>>738542507>>738542632What did he say?
>>738542632>official work accountwrong
>>738534641this is going to hit early access and people are going to realize how awful this is and that the Krafton CEO was 100% correct to shitcan those commie faggots
>>738542507I might have cared if I had hope for the game being good
>>738542216As I explained here >>738541297The fear is they ain't got shit. The trailer does little to dispel this concern.
>>738535840The plot of this one is that they send poor brown people to die over and over again in order to set up the infrastructure needed to place a big server on the planet hooked to the alien power sources, the server houses millions of digital copies of human minds. Your characters are people who are cursed to be 3d printed over and over as they die setting all this up.Charlie is a doomer psychopath and Subnautica is his personal fan fiction where he gets to live out the fantasy he has of all of the implicit supporters of our civilization being enslaved by it and tortured by it. subnautica 1 ends with you surviving hell only to be trapped in eternal debt for your troubles, 2 is about YOU the consumer being turned into a commodity to die eternally in order to keep tech oligarchs immortal.
>>738534641It's becoming more and more apparent that the first game was good by accident and the devs actually have no fucking clue what they are doing.
>>738540130They're marketing to the biggest demographic: brown gender confused people.But they forgot that most of the world's brown people don't even have gaming PCs or money to buy games.
>>738543378The devs of the first game quit gamedev years ago and this is being made by the Below Zero team trying to reconstruct what made the 1st game good like archaeologists trying to decipher heiroglyphics.
>>738543087I hate that I can't tell if you're being serious or notBecause that's exactly the kind of thing a retarded modern game dev would come up with
>>738542760"I identify as an attack helicopter"
>>738542784If it's the account you share all of your job and company info on, yes it's your work account.
surely they'll do away with all the talking right
>>738542760some anti trans joke and he doubled down in bigotry instead of a simple apology
>>738543707But if someone came up with it in the 90s or 2000s it would be amazing and awesome, yes?
>>738543480No, it's because white people love equality and diversity, so it's pushed
>>738543583No, Charlie and Mike are still there, they've been there since Natural Selection. They just forced out anyone who didn't get radicalized by a certain incident in 2014. Now it's all dipshit sycophants who won't criticize anything of note.
>>738543879shut the fuck up you faggot retardall trannies deserve death
>>738543743Oh and we already have retards ITT defending cancel culture. Time to dip
>>738540419UE5 has more performance potential than Unity but it remains to be seen if the devs can achieve it or not. The Satisfactory devs (small team) finally got some great performance out of UE5 but it took them a while.>>738543885What diversity? It's all browns in the game from what I've seen.
>>738543992You're fine with it when the people you don't like get canceled.
>>738543885It gets people shitting and pissing themselves in comment sections. Comment sections themselves are monetized on various social media. So throwing browns in your face in the trailers makes you money before the game even comes out.
>>738543937yawn, get some new material, you're not 16 anymore.
>>738543903I've read the Krafton V. Unknown Worlds decision they literally don't do any work. >Though [Charlie]Cleveland coached Kalina,he “didn’t design anything on Below Zero” and “didn’t work on Below Zero at all,”concentrating exclusively on Moonbreaker.Moonbreaker was a total failure and Charlie subsequently quit gamedev. >Cleveland returned from his leave in early 2024 and began to reshape hisrelationship with Unknown Worlds. He shared with family and friends that he was “no longer making video games.” He dedicated his limited working hours—about four per week—to leading a Subnautica film adaptation. He viewed this not as an abandonment of his job, but a strategic “transmedia” pivot.https://courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Download.aspx?id=392880
>>738544034>UE5 has more performance potential Cuck cope
>>738544324I don't like UE5 because most devs seem to fuck it up, but when done right it performs far better than Unity. I think it comes down to C# vs C++.
>>738536775>FilenameLMAO
>>738544534What devs do UE5 well? Any recommendations?
>>738544619Satisfactory turned out good in the end. It runs great on my ancient hardware (RTX 2080, i7-9700) even with global illumination turned on. I run with DLSS Performance upscaling to 4k and it hangs around 50-60 FPS.
>>738538658The devs have pretty much explicitly stated that if they can't give players that same experience again that they've failed. They seem to understand how important recreating that experience is without rehashing all the same scares/feels, so I at least have some faith that there's a possibility they may make it happen. I'm not buying EA though. I think EA is good for short indie games, roguelikes, etc. With a game where your first blind playthrough is so foundational to your experience, I don't really see the appeal of EA at all for Sub2.
>>738544619arc raider?
>>738544887Oh I already played through that one, it did run well on my old computer but I also cant remember if it was before the switch or after.
>>738544619>>738545319Also the new Conan Exiles update uses UE5 now and it runs really well. I think it runs better at higher settings now than it did on the old engine (UE4 I guess).
>>738535605I hope there's a VR version. Playing Subnautica with a headset was a wild experience.
>>738544619lies of P runs well
>>738544887So if you don't use any of the UE5 "features" the game won't run like shit, not a surprise. Makes it kinda pointless to use UE5 over UE4 tho
>>738537814>Noo you hecking trollerino how dare you not like our white character (American)
>>738546529But it does use the new features.
literal scam company
>>738543879you never apologize to cross dressing freaks like (you). Instead you tell>KYS
>>738534641>early access>some sort of greedy publisher issue where the original dev team was firedas if it weren't already bad enough the dev teams were a bunch of obnoxious leftieskinda wanted to play this but I shant
>>738548352Why are you so obsessed about other people's genitals though? Especially freaks
>>738544224Much like they will never be 16 again, you will never ever be a woman
>>738549197We are not buying your game, tranny shill elsewhere preferably before you kill yourself
>>738544887Yeah if it can run like satisfactory I might be cautiously optimistic about the game
>>738534641Please god let it be good
>>738550046I'm optimistic that it will run well. I think they're aware that their particular fan base do not have the best computers.>>738550173I have a good feeling about it after watching the developer videos and their stream today. Seems like it's going to be more like S1 than BZ.
>>738535605Not even 3 seconds into it and I can already tell its gonna be AI is le bad, hal9000 is le bad, big corpo bad.
>>738550641>AI is le bad, hal9000 is le bad, big corpo bad.Based. Return to fishe.
>>738543882Yeah because reading levels hadn't plummeted to the point the average American struggles to decipher text on prescription bottles and road signsDid you know the average reading level of high school grads is below 6th grade and still dropping? Many high schools have the average at 3rd grade which is the lowest the scale goes for adults who aren't literally illiterate. They are functionally illiterate though by the same scale.
>>738534641La abominación de los océanos...
>>738535605I'm really on copium life support about this game because I really liked the first one, but judging by this trailer alone, the vibe feels totally off, especially the atmosphere and the music. It also seems like they focused way too much on pointless stuff like multiplayer and switching to UE5 just to make it look "prettier", but it just looks overly saturated. All they really had to do was create a new world with some new biomes and come up with a decent enough excuse for a story to make you want to explore the depths again. A competent team could've done something like that in maybe two or three years without changing the engine.
>>738551943I'm okay with the starting area being bright and colorful but I hope they put in some truly deep dark and oppressive areas that are hard to get to and hard to survive in.
>>738550917
>>738534641Will they add a “please shut the fuck up” mode?I couldn’t stand the story in this gameIt was so fucking bad
>>738550802At least our food is delicious. I can excuse the collapsing infrastructure, the decrepit public transportation, the fear of being mugged, the lack of social advancement and the absence of anything resembling societal trust as long as I can eat a heckin’ tasty enchilada.
>>738535605I really dislike how glassy the new water surface texture is, especially from below. I bet they still haven't added weather as well.
>>738534641Hope they brought back the original sound guy.Massive downgrade in the little ambient and environmental audio in Below Zero compared to 1.
>>738552683You forgot the euphoric bliss of knowing you’re around brown people. I personally don’t feel comfortable unless I know half the people I can see can’t understand me or don’t share my cultural mores. The idea that I could be around an entire crowd of people who all can accurately judge my behavior is terrifying.
>>738552885I have faith they will improve the water surface and add weather at some point in early access. Below Zero has dynamic weather.>>738553009Yeah. I don't think he's coming back though.
>>738553009Pretty sure they didn't. After how they fucked him over I'm not sure he'd go back if he was asked anyway.His most recent single has Subnautica vibes, though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuXSXm4HKVI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNAc5HsmGyE&t=36sif it doesn't have this I don't care
>>738544034>UE5 has more performance potentialTechnical truth, practical lie. If you even see a passing mention of Nanite there won't be good performance, there almost never is. Hell to even make an UE5 game run well you have to dodge most if it's advertised features.
>>738553406Lol wtfThis is why you don't hire modders lel, bethslop made that mistake
>>738553570Conan Exiles Enhanced uses nanite and lumen and it runs better on my machine than the old Conan Exiles did.
>>738534641Now that its out of the hands of those greedy koreans, you know they'll be pulling double shifts to make new Black People assets
I'm hoping they add some deep sea action and not just narrow tunnels.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5C7sqVe2VgEven just 3-4km would be nice.
>>738544034Satisfactory has Lumen optional since it started out in UE4.They've said Subnautica won't require hardware ray-tracing, but that doesn't really mean anything because most UE5 games use Lumen in software mode anyway.
>>738534641I love subnautica 1, i hope subnautica 2 does not disappoint me, didnt like below zero, at least for me, gameplay looks decent. exploration looks fun, its pretty clear they mixed below zero maps with subnautica 1, base building looks better as well.
the whole die thing in the trailer and the chamber the MC comes out of makes me think the character we play is printed like the other things we make in the game.
>>738553684>game with graphics from 2005 runs ok on 2020 hardwareWhat an achievement
Pattern recognition is a curse.I wish I could trick myself into thinking this could be good, but I already know it won't. Literally that meme that says "how do you know it's shit if it's not out yet?"
>>738556747It looks pretty good tho
>>738555636Probably ingame lore to explain why your friends can die/respawn
I'm trying to play through BZ again but it's too small. I built a base early on in the arches area and that's still the best and only spot suitable for a base.
>>738557346Sounds like you're just a faggot, anon
>>738540130oh my god it's the highguard dude, again!
>>738543819>if anyone can ever connect your opinions to your person, you deserve death actuallyrat kike fag
