How big will subnutica 2 world be? compare to 1 and sub zero?

[-Ripper-]

I google , i search all over.. none seems to know..
But now that trailer is out ect.. anyone actually found some info on this?`

Now that unreal 5 is up and running full power i bet they use that, and then its easier to 4+ times the size of the original world physically i mean.. not that they choose to do that.. but limit is much better now with unreal 5 ... just look at satisfactory, they could easy increase size of world with unreal 5

and will subnatuica 2 get vr built direct into it you do we need to use uevr? .. hope its built into it properly from start... that game is ment for VR :)

No one but the dev team knows. Useless to ask here.

There may be some vague hint on the UWE web site, but NO ONE has mentioned that here if so.

it is never useless to ask, remeber that :)

I hope it's not much bigger than the first game. Better said, I hope that they don't sacrifice the intricacy and beautiful design of the map in order to make it larger. What I do hope is that it becomes deeper (following same logic as previously stated). Having a lot of vertical maneuvering in the first game helped make it so damn awesome. If they can do that without making it as cramped as the lava regions were, but more diverse would be insanely awesome. Plus...the massive leviathans they can hide that deep when there's tons of space...heheh

It's its as polished as the first game, my hopes are high. Just don't want it to be another BZ type of lateral/downwards move.

It will be worse than Below Zero, which was worse than OG Subnautica. The first game was the high point, but in the second they removed all the things that made the first one great. I do not have high hopes for the Sub 2, and it looks like the doubled down on the woke nonsense in it.

I hope the devs return to the original Subnautica theme. If this new one is more BZ then I'll save my money. I keep going back to the original for another play through. lol.

If it's that big like the chin of that woman in the trailer ... pretty huge i guess.

Well, sometimes it is. Same like "there arent stupid questions". Well, there are many stupid questions overall in steam threads. I dont mean you with that, dont get me wrong.

They announced it will be 2x smaller but more detailed. You are gonna love it.

2x smaller then ? the sub zero? if so i will not buy it.. even i love the first game.. even sub zero is acceptable

Meh. Black man and white woman doesn't necessarily mean woke. The protagonist of the original was black. Or at least ambiguously brown. If it's just the two characters we've seen, it'll still be the first white co-protagonist in the series. Maybe there'll even be a character creator.

That said, I'm still hesitant. Maybe there will have been a learning experience and there will be a more open, less confined world and less... chatty characters. Maybe. Seems like a tall order these days. Sometimes less is more, especially where speech is concerned.

I loved the size of the original game's map, and even something just a little larger would be great. Let's seem some deep, dark abysses again instead of a shallow sea with a couple narrow crevices. I want people with thalassophobia to be even more triggered than the first game. I want livestreamers to soil themselves. Maybe have slightly more above-water area than the original, but much less than BZ. Bring back the Cyclops or a similar mobile base and everybody's favorite mini mech, as well as maybe some new vehicles.

Guys its normal to have black people in games, I get y'all are trolls but damn that's a bit thirsty there

Also no, they never said '2x smaller.' Maybe it is right now, y'know, before even closed alpha, but Obraxis stated that they hope for SN2 to be larger and deeper than the first game, meaning also larger/deeper than BZ, so the most we've seen yet.

After seeing the new submarine (which clearly isn't the Seatruck like so many people are so quick to say, its likely similar to the atlas, so a large beefer that'll likely be fun to pilot with 2-3 other people), as well as that new leviathan that's unlike *anything* we've seen in Subnautica before, I'd say it's safe to assume this game will go well.

Don't get me wrong that's what we thought of Below Zero. And firing Chylinski def sucks for the music. But I'm sure they've learned seeing as the teaser trailer is ten times more exciting than Below Zero's, and the store page offers promising screenshots.

Anyways yeah the game will sell terribly as far as racists go. Errybody else will have a field day. We can say for a certainty that the world will look more beautiful than the other games', but as far as size goes it's only *likely* but not definitively going to be larger and deeper than the others.

I think a ~15-30% increase in world size is optimal. Don't want it to stretch on for too long.

Bad idea to assume it'll launch with VR support, or get any from the devs. They're already making a project that's more ambitious than any before, with 2-4 multiplayer to boot. But given it's being made in Unreal, and we're in 2024 going on '25, the possibility of a clean VR Subnautica experience is solid.

BTW, in case anyone didn't see it, there is an official Subnautica 2 board now on Steam:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1962700/discussions/0/

Might be a better place to discuss items for that game than here at this point.

-has black character

Game too woke

I can't tell if you are kidding around...but presuming that you are not, I have one very serious question...

What century are you living in??

malagon... what the heck are you talking about explain to me how below zero was woke? what its woke because there's women and black people in it? is it woke because the only other human you meet is a female . There's no one in the game that is "woke" below zero wasn't even bad.Sure it wasn't as good as the original game but like it could never be as good.And besides the game looks great so far don't be so negative because the last game did meet your high standards of a subnauctica game. BTW black people and women being in a game doesn't even make it woke go look up the word before you use it
