Best I can do is a battle royale.

I'm tempted to agree but on the other hand, I'd rather see the budget go towards a better game than designing for coop. The first one wouldn't be atmospheric at all if you had a laggy friend floating around you all the time.
Plenty of other survival games that have coop and are better suited for it.

Why do people want everything to be co-op
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 11 months ago
Because it’s fun to play games with friends?
LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think survival games are better with friende
BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 11 months ago
Normies and their friends.

I wait for the co-op return, only Nintendo keeps this going in a wider scheme.
Nelots@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Split screen maybe, but there are absolute loads of indie games released each year with co-op.

Didn’t they say they were don’t making Subnautica like games? I hope not though, I loved 1 and 2.

I personally loved the building in the game. At least in 2 it was a lot better. Luckily they ported most of the improvements from 2 into the first game.

here’s to hoping they don’t scrap a perfect story half way through again like they did in sub 2, I loved the original pre-release story, then they scrapped it for the boring one it is now

What was the pre-release story for BZ? I played it this year and thought the story was fine, though it didn’t manage to recapture the feelings of mystery and discovery of the first game

I want a truly massive nuclear submarine and be able to explore some of the actual deep parts of the ocean. Like they hype up the huge drop off in the first game. Maybe a bit of protection against the giant ghost laviathans.

Please be good. I loved the first one (despite the bugs).

Is the next one going to support inverting the X and Y axis on the controller? Or is it going to be entirely unplayable as well?
c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Kind of a standard option, no doubt. Not sure how that one thing makes it unplayable though.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I personally don’t know anyone, let alone know how anyone plays first-person games with inverted camera controls.
Fal@yiffit.net 11 months ago
Try playing a platformer where left moves your character to the right, and right moves left. AND down moves them up and up moves them down. You’d see how that’s unplayable, right?
Weirdfish@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Dont know about PC but it has invert on PS4 cause I always play w Y inverted.
If its on PC, I have to assume there is a setting in controller software to allow for it even if the game doesnt.
Fal@yiffit.net 11 months ago
It only has inverting of 1 axis, not both.
I had to hack it in steam’s controller remapping. But that shouldn’t be necessary, just provide the completely normal option.

That feels awfully soon. I hope they can actually create enough new content for this, as Below Zero felt far too similar to the first. It felt more like a new game plus rather than a full-price sequal.
Crystal_Shards64@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah I felt like below zero could have gone without the above land content. It just wasn’t nearly as good as the rest of what they had made. I really missed having the submarine thing too

I remember reading somewhere that Below zero was originally intended to be an expansion, but got changed into a standalone release. The subnautica 2 they are working on now is entirely new.
