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.
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. :(
That's alright as long as I can use the Cyclops instead.
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.
