Needs dismemberment like in Jaws Unleashed
Literally my only complaint i have of the game thus far is that the corpses explode when you finish them, an entire human or Alligator yeets out of existance.
I wish they would put dismemberment like in Jaws Unleashed, with parts of the body being left floating and ripped apart in the water, and youd have to eat them individually. Like thrashing a human by their leg will rip said leg off, and they will try to swim away with one less leg/arm ecs. It was one of the most immersive elements of Jaws Unleashed, i hope it lands here too.

In the latest build, dismberment and gore have been maxed out. I saw limbs being bit off and giblets galore.

That's a vital piece of information, thanks!
No problem, additionally it looks like the rating went from "T for Teen" to "M for Mature". I can't find the official rating but the store said "You must be 18 or older to view this item."

Here is the official box with the rating:

I saw recent gameplay and I love the grab physics. You're able to bite humans arms, legs, head, etc and it all reacts accordingly.

This is from the latest livestream, as you can see there's no dismemberment, not yet at least https://youtu.be/v8jCUAkur7U

Yes there is, you're just angry because your thread of lies got locked lol Nice try though

Here's a screenshot of the player shark carrying just a human arm lol

Another where you can visibly see a leg and arm missing on a flying torso

Dismemberment is a part of the finisher moves

My thread of lies huh? We'll see when the game comes out who was lying, Besides those pics you showed could have easily been edited, there's no proof of it and even if it was what does "finishing move" means? That i will unlock that feature further in the game and only in specific occasions? Disappointing since in Jaws unleashed was standard since the beginning, ultimately I never lied about anything, I just expressed my disappointment to a company that doesn't care about the consumers and greedy devs that prefer money over doing a good job with the game they are creating. Still, I don't blame them, I mean they are still getting paid even if their game doesn't sell

Yes, the thread you made that got locked. What else would you call it? Did you even read the comments in that toxic column?

I just showed you visible proof in the screenshots. What now, are you going to pretend these screenshots don't exist just because the video didn't have or show off finishing moves? What more do you want?

Jaws Unleashed aged horribly, the a.i and controls were some of the worst in the history of the industry. It never really held a crown, Depth changed all of that by refining alot and doing right what Jaws Unleashed did wrong. Seeing how this game is made by the original maker of Depth, I'm confident it will be more quality than Jaws Unleashed.

Let's face it, Jaws Unleashed is nostalgic therefore that's the only reason why we hold it in a positive light. It had no substance.

Yes I took my time and have read your comments and let me tell you, other than a good laugh it didn't brought nothing to the conversation, it's obvious by now you're being paid by Epic to say such nonsense

Proof you say? Can you provide a source of said "proof"? I mean it's just a picture on some random site not provided by devs how can I trust it to be true? Meanwhile the video I found was directly from the developers

Jaws unleashed aged just fine I still play it through emulators every now and then, you complain about the AI of a game made in 2005 but I haven't seen any better in Maneater from the gameplay up to now, let alone how the shark moves which is unnatural af or the way it skips on the shore, I've seen a video of this and the shark doesn't die, meanwhile in Jaws if you did this you could barely move and you died in 10 seconds or so. Of course it's another game but from what I've seen my expectations are really low

So you're the type of troll who claims anyone who disagrees with them and states facts on the matter is nonsense, irrelevant or the like. Are ny feelings supposed to get hurt by your pettiness and passive agressive comment? Sigh...

They're screenshots of the game from the trailer. What do you mean "How can I trust it to be true?" By this logic you can't even trust the YouTube link, even though it goes against your claim... Had someone else posted it, you'd probably say "How can I trust that, anyone can make a Tripwire account and claim to be a developer and use some old footage." Not a very good argument and here you say you laughed at my comments lol
Jaws unleashed aged just fine I still play it through emulators every now and then
You're biased towards Jaws Unleashed due to your past times of playing with it. That's nostalgia goggles blinding you. Just because you enjoy playing it still today, doesn't mean it aged fine. Jaws Unleashed isn't a horrible game by any means, just be honest about its faults at least.
you complain about the AI of a game made in 2005 but I haven't seen any better in Maneater from the gameplay up to now
Things in the water actually, ya know... fight back, in Maneater. Where things just had a horrible animation in Jaws Unleashed and after those animationa, they'd just run in a circle like that Killer Whale boss fight lol
https://youtu.be/frn1Q9sLHgA

Oh, I know, you're going to tell me that you can't trust this video because it was I who posted it and it disproves what you said, right?
let alone how the shark moves which is unnatural af or the way it skips on the shore, I've seen a video of this and the shark doesn't die, meanwhile in Jaws if you did this you could barely move and you died in 10 seconds or so. Of course it's another game but from what I've seen my expectations are really low
It's because you're not a normal shark, you're mutated. If you actually researched the game you'd probably find out why things are rather than assuming lol Yes, the shark in ManEater can also tail-whip things, using swordfish as sniper bullets, barrel roll, etc. Besides that there are evolutions.

https://youtu.be/z4D_LN3uZ2U
https://youtu.be/hqrQAgJYOrQ

The movement and combat are WWII inspired, they said they tried natural shark combat at first and it was boring as hell which I would agree with in a video game.
Of course it's another game but from what I've seen my expectations are really low
Sure thing.

If you know very little about the game and don't have much interest, why waste your time here?

Uhm no? I'm serious, is not that I disagree with you it's just your arguments are laughable at best

I've seen the trailer plenty of times and none of those footage where in the trailer, if what you claim is the truth then you shouldn't have any problem posting the link to said trailer am I right? Again, the video i posted is from the official Tripwire Interactive YT channel ,the same channel where the evolutions of the shark you posted come from

Nah, in Jaws Unleashed DID fight back, I remember dying to that killer whale many times, after you understood its movement pattern it was easy to kill it without a scratch like shown, give it time and we'll see no damage runs of this game

I'm fine with being a mutated shark and the evolutions but surviving on the shore doesn't make any sense at all, even in Hungry Shark, which this game seems to be highly inspired by, you would die after staying ashore for a bit

I don't know, you tell me since there aren't that many places where I can reach the developers,and before you say "there are many other forums around the internet" or something like that I mean by official ways not some random forums around the web, since Epic and Tripwire official site don't have a forum Steam is the best place to contact developers and making suggestions

Right then, so you comstantly making stuff up isn't laughable at best? The whole purpose of your being right now is to disagree with me and I say this because you're so hellbent on assuming and making false things up about a game you have no interest or general knowledge about.
I've seen the trailer plenty of times and none of those footage where in the trailer, if what you claim is the truth then you shouldn't have any problem posting the link to said trailer am I right? Again, the video i posted is from the official Tripwire Interactive YT channel ,the same channel where the evolutions of the shark you posted come from
Doesn't look like you are actually following the game because you'd know there are multiple trailers for the game. Did you actually know about that channel before I posted the videos? This is the real question here.
Nah, in Jaws Unleashed DID fight back, I remember dying to that killer whale many times, after you understood its movement pattern it was easy to kill it without a scratch like shown, give it time and we'll see no damage runs of this game
Show me a video of a first time playthrough where the player dies to something that isn't due to the poor mechanics or glitches and instead genuine difficulty, then we'll talk.


And uhhh...
Nobody said there wouldn't be no damage runs? Where did that come from?
I'm fine with being a mutated shark and the evolutions but surviving on the shore doesn't make any sense at all, even in Hungry Shark, which this game seems to be highly inspired by, you would die after staying ashore a bit
Here ya are, making up more things about a game you have no clue about lmao You don't stay alive on shore, you die do die after a few seconds if you don't make your way back to the water. No clue where you are getting this misinformation from but luckily I'm here to call people like you out for spewing bs. Do you actually know anything about this game?

And no, the game wasn't inspired by Hungry Shark or Jaws Unleashed. It was however, inspired by the movies: Jaws 2, Deep Blue Sea, Orca and The Shallows.

Another laughable comment "The best place to reach the developers is om Steam since Epic and Tripwire don't have a forum"

https://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/index.php

If you're serious and can admit you're wrong, why not try the official forum and complain to the devs' faces? I am betting you won't...

Any more lies or are you just gonna continue on makaing up stuff? I'd like to have a serious convo for once... We get it, you don't like that it's not Jaws Unleashed 2 but it's just strange that everyone looking forward to this game loved Jaws Unleashed and while they seem to be rejoicing over this, you're moaning and complaining about it.
Draconyum May 7, 2020 @ 3:35am 
Of course it's not because I didn't make anything up, all I have stated so far are facts, even if it was someone else I would have said the same, it's you who accused me of that, in fact I linked a video of a livestream made by tripwire on 1st May and it was made to show their latest build which showed no dismemberment, meanwhile you just posted some random pictures picked from a random site claiming they are from a trailer I didn't see, I'm asking you, for the second time, care to link said trailer? Or I have to "assume stuff"? Well of course I would assume since you don't provide an official source. Btw, I'm aware there is more than one trailer around and even if those pics were real I could argue about them just being cinematics and not actual gameplay

It's hard to say if it's a first time playthrough or not from a video even if they claim so, besides i doubt youtubers like to show how they die many times in a game

Anyway i found this, he didn't die but he's been close enough many times
https://youtu.be/OSMcvgnKtII

No I didn't make anything up (again), I've seen a video of a guy staying ashore and the shark didn't die
You want proof? Here it is
https://youtu.be/SFNtnvhLBl8
Notice btw how it hops on the shore, unnatural as ♥♥♥♥, you could argue it being an adult shark and it's able to do that thanks to progression ingame, which I would be OK since I like the "evolution" part, but I've seen the same from the baby shark gameplay

If it wasn't inspired by hungry sharks then explain me how it can jump off the water and move ashore? Like in hungry shark, and the evolution part? It might not be exactly the same but even in hungry shark there's an electric shark

Fine, I'll give you that, but only that
Why would I go to another forum if the chances of getting an answer from the developer are essentially the same over here? I've seen different threads over there and devs hardly answer, same as over here. Truth is devs most likely do not care for our opinions or suggestions, otherwise my previous thread wouldn't have been blocked, because of you btw, it was you and that other guy who started all that convo, I simply asked a question, I want to like this game but due to previous experience I'm afraid of getting disappointed, I might not be but I learned to not expect too much in the last couple of years of gaming

In fact I linked a video of a livestream made by tripwire on 1st May and it was made to show their latest build which showed no dismemberment
And I told you that it was because they didn't do finishers in that stream which does indeed render your example rather irrelevant.

The game's official site has those screenshots, that's where the other sites got them from.

Sure thing! Here ya go, there are obvious visible bodies with missing limbs including the torso...

You have been making things up by rash assumptions or flat out lying. You can mock it but every comment you write, you dig your own pit a bit deeper.

Of course you would have to assume but not because I didn't hold your hand through everything but because you don't know much to begin with and because you don't want to imagine the possibility of you being wrong.

And yes, I know you'll probably argue, because you don't like to accept facts lol Its funny how you are niw trying to desperately grab straws now to stay afloat!
It's hard to say if it's a first time playthrough or not from a video even if they claim so, besides i doubt youtubers like to show how they die many times in a game
Never heard of a youtuber who doesn't like to show how many times they died, odd rebutal though I'd like you to tell that to any youtuber who streams live.

That's not proof lol You said you don't die, I see the shark running out of oxygen and dyimg because shes outta water....

Eh, that's actually sorta how softbody fish moves on land. Would you really want this instead?
 https://youtu.be/F2B7t3HKWeU

Of course you wouldn't, you'd get frustrated.
If it wasn't inspired by hungry sharks then explain me how it can jump off the water and move ashore? Like in hungry shark, and the evolution part? It might not be exactly the same but even in hungry shark there's an electric shark
Hungry Shark wasn't even the first game to have oceanic animals that can breach unto shore... lol

ManEater was inspired by andup influenced by Depth. You obviously habe never heard of it but it's a mp game on Steam, ManEater was originally supposed to be a single player expansion/dlc for Depth but Alex Quick left DC and this happened

Hungry Shark was inspired and birthed from Rayman series, it's even in the same universe
Fine, I'll give you that, but only that
Why would I go to another forum if the chances of getting an answer from the developer are essentially the same over here? I've seen different threads over there and devs hardly answer, same as over here.
Your chances and response rate are much much better, they are very active there, they reply usually in private message, rarely on the thread. If you are looking for public response, go to Facebook or Twitter whebre they are answering questions daily!
Truth is devs most likely do not care for our opinions or suggestions, otherwise my previous thread wouldn't have been blocked
The thread didn't get blocked, it was locked. They didn't lock it because they don't care, they locked it because the guy was writing sexist and offensive comments and wouldn't stop. Are you not able to tell the difference?
because of you btw, it was you and that other guy who started all that convo, I simply asked a question, I want to like this game but due to previous experience I'm afraid of getting disappointed
I definitely am not taking the blsme for that and neither should the guy. You made a low-quality thread, you basically asked for drama and you probably did it on purpose more than anything.

They had plenty of possibilities to show said finishers and even then in jaws dismemberment was a standard, not a finisher move you unlocked

I don't know much? Then how come I have this game in my wishlist since its first announcement back in 2018 and followed the development process ever since?

Yes I'm able to tell difference, but from my perspective both of you were at fault, you both acted like little kids in my opinion, but at this point I don't blame you, not entirely at least

No I asked if this game should be removed and I expected an honest answer from either the developers or from people that definetly know more than me about how these things go, guess I should have expected things to turn out like this

Nah i play games since the psx era and I have an older brother who had different consoles, either SEGA or Nintendo, don't remember exactly which ones.
I played many good games in this last years like Ace Combat 7 or RE2 but I've also seen huge let down like The Sinking City which is inspired by Lovecraft which I'm a huge fan of, in this game every name which referred to the books was changed, the Innsmouther are actually the good guys trying to help you, but the biggest flaw is that in different places the ground is bugged making you glitch underground and unable to proceed further, in some cases you might even fall off the map and developers still haven't fixed this. This was just an example, I have my reasons if I'm afraid to waste money
