    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.

      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

          The first time you make the Cyclops and go “woah, that’s big”. When you are welcomed on board. When you walk about and go “oh, engine room. And 6 power cells”, when you flick all the lights on and off, when you have to start the engine, when it steers like a bus and you bonk everything I’m sight. When you first honk the horn. When you learn to drive using the cameras. When you learn you can build in it. When a creature attacks and you drop a bouy.
          So many great firsts with the Cyclops.

          The seatruck was fine. But it didn’t seem to have the personality of the cyclops

      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.

    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?

      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.

        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.
