[WA-PISH] Top of the morning to ya laddies!
My name is Jacksepticeye and welcome back to a HTC vive game.
This time we're playing Narcosis.
but narcosis is a seated VR experience
which I'm not too happy about, um...
when it comes to HTC vive stuff I believe
You should uh at least avail of the hardware that's there.
The standing and the room scale and all that stuff but
never mind! the game looks cool enough that I'm willing to forgive it, so
apologies if head tracking and everything goes off.
Because it decides that because my, my base stations
to track the vive are set up for like standing in the middle of the room
so this is a, an underwater game.
By the way.
I probably should have mentioned that. Uh.
E to select. Commence.
oh, god. This is weird already.
Okay! I think its like a, a spooky game?
I'm not too sure. it kinda looked like it had some spooks in it.
narrator: "ocean ova was once in a lifetime."
"They're breaking new ground, making something meaningful."
Jack: Woah.
"Mining methane hydrate frozen beneath the sea bed..."
"There's alternatives, but none so plentiful."
"It's clean and safe."
"I couldn't say no."
radio: "Sorry about your weekend but someone had to draw the short straw."
Jack: oh god
"We've got a lot of updates to get through."
Jack: Oh, Geez!
Ok so my head's supposed to be here. But...
There we go.
Look around.
Radio: "Instruments...O2..."
[Jack laughing]
So I'm in a, I'm in like a scuba suit.
And we have to walk around underwater--
Oh, god that gives me tunnel vision.
Oh that's cool!
Radio: "Flares...and thrust."
I can't see it properly though because my thing is not calibrated. Okay.
We'll be fine!
We'll manage.
Everybody stop FREAKIN' OUT.
Okay. Too much oxygen intake. Got it.
I got it, don't even worry.
When I move, it like, closes in!
And gives me tunnel vision.
Oh, I can move like this.
Inspect O2 intake. Yeah I am! Radio: "Prepping trip."
Oh.
Okay, sorry.
Radio: "Your O2 burns down a lot faster under stress."
Got it.
Okay! So...
The whole game is based around being in this, like, scuba-suit.
And that's why it's like a seated experience, 'cause you're not supposed to be moving around all that much
you're supposed to...SIT. In the same place.
And like, look around like this?
Which is kinda cool, 'cause it gives you like this claustrophobic vibe.
Not a fan of the tunnel vision though.
Radio: "Temp. Check. Lights. Check. Camera. Check."
Jack: What's happening?
Uh...friend of mine?
Aw, that's COOL! That's a cool transition!
Now this reminds me of SOMA.
It reminds me SO-MUCH of SOMA.
And I like that this has a
Oh god, I have 77 percent oxygen now.
I like that there's a little reflection of that right here.
That's cool--you guys can't fuckin' see. [Laughing]
'Kay. What're we doing?
Can I go faster?
Aw, this is re--fucking cool!
Hello? Oh, god, I went outside the thing.
Okay, don't do that.
Imma just walk around underneath the ocean.
And look at the fishes.
Oh, god.
It's really bizarre, because, I'm not used to playing underwater games in the Vive.
Or in virtual reality at all.
And I have, like, little breath that shows up on the glass inside here. That's awesome!
Oh, god. Egh...egh, noo thanks, ohh Jesus.
As if I needed any more reason to fear the fuckin' dark ocean.
Aw, this is gonna make me not want to go swimming again.
This is gonna be like watching Jaws all over again!
I have fucking GIGANTIC HANDS.
Ohh. I can stab some bitches if I want to!
You want a piece?!
This is cool, though.
And it's kinda scary that I'm so deep I can't see surface or light or anything.
I'm basically the only light that I have.
I dunno if I like that--how much oxygen am I at?
62 percent!
We need to get moving buddy!
We need to get motoring! We need to get--ughhah!
What's happening? Oh, it ma--it's SO claustrophobic.
And it's even worse that when you walk, the sides of the screen vignette.
So they close in.
It's making me feel all weird.
But this looks awesome. It's like playing Subnautica!
Just a lot more fuckin' terrifying.
'Cause I don't have a Sea Moth or anything.
Oh, it's so dark.
Okay, here we go, I boosted!
Radio: "Something's still not...hold on a sec."
"Um...I need you to hit thrusters one more time.
What!?
Oh there's flags! "Okay. Target practice."
There's no Irish flag.
Is that an Irish flag!?
Down at the end? I think so.
Press E to interact. Okay. Got it.
Let me get my flares!
Oh, and there's little hoops!
This is much nicer than being in the ocean.
Radio: "'Kay,"
Okay, how do I use them?
No. Oh, load flare.
Ohh. Oh THAT'S NEATO!
Radio: "Okay."
Can I--hhnnnn...
Booshk!
I'm glad I don't pull them out with my hand or anything, I'm glad I launch them.
That's awesome.
And last one. And...
SPADOOSH!
Are we going back into the ocean again?
I like this so much more. Aw, NO! Where's the Irish flag!?
Ah, buddy, help!
I don't like this! [Nervous laughter]
Uhh, what? Oh. We're back here.
Okay. So...can I just go
Uhh
WABOOSH!
Oh yeahh! That's awesome!
Thrusters go! Hello tiny fish!
I will be your friend in the ocean.
Am I gonna get attacked by anything?
Oh god! AGH!
No thanks. I keep hearing something.
[Thump]
I'm hearing something BIG.
Jesus Christ, don't do that.
[Thump]
Can you guys hear that?
Haaaa! Ugh.
I'm hearing something like it's walkin' around.
Maybe I'm supposed to go this way.
Aw, yeah. That is exactly where I'm supposed to go. Never mind!
Sorry! Went the wrong direction.
Can there be giants in this?
Like are giant creatures gonna show up?
'Cause that'd be really cool, I'd like that!
Oh hi.
Friend or foe?
Friend. Okay.
Hello!
You're cute!
Friend: "You alright?" Jack: I'm coming!
"C'mon. Let's get back to the hat."
I'm just seeing some shit, is all.
It's freaking me out.
[Thump]
I'm hearing that.
Dude, are--are we safe?
Are we like mining with giant robots down here?
'Cause I'm hearing something.
Narrator: "10:02. February Second."
"We were...50 miles from the epicenter."
"But an 8 on the Richter scale makes that kind of distance...irrelevant."
Earthquake?
Friend: "Hold up. Something's off."
What's happening?
What's--oh god! Oh, Jesus!
I don't like this! OHH, god!
Oh, that was the earthquake!
Jesus.
Narrator: "The shock waves hit 6 minutes later, striking the south face of the hab first, and..."
"hardest."
"27 minutes in,"
"With that kind of concussive force, even the sealed modules were compromised."
Jack: ooooh! Narrator: "After that, came the ocean."
Jack: Nar--Narcosis! Narrator: "By 10:33..."
"Only safehaven's in a sub. Or one of the suits."
Did everybody die?
Okay. Shit went down.
[Friend screaming] Jack: Oh no, DUDE! Buddy friend!
[Friend screaming]
Are you okay!?
Uhh....what?
Where'd he go? Did he freeze?
OH JESUS!
How do--J-JESUS FUCKIN' CHRIST!
GO AWAY!
[Friend screaming]
[Alarms blaring]
Ohh. Ohh.
3 percent O2 remaning. That's fucking great. Now I have 2 percent.
Dude, I'm gonna die out here!
I don't want to die in the fuckin' bottom of the ocean!
I wanna die knee-deep in chocolate sauce!
Am-am I dying? Am-am I dead?
Okay, maybe I was supposed to keep going this way--Ah shit balls.
Oops!
Okay. Okay. I stole his oxygen.
Database updated. Review file. Ohh, there we go.
Aww. Russel Andrew Felin.
Sorry, buddy.
But sometimes shit happens!
Can I go past this?
I can, but it's kinda...freezing me a small bit. That's not good. You don't want that!
You don't wanna get frozen!
EGH!
Ohoh, they're cool!
Fuckin' light up much though, do they?
I hate that it turns when I turn.
Woahh.
So how deep am I right now?
[Thump]
Oh those sounds are ME walking.
Well that's kinda lame then, I wanted cool shit.
OHH it's so cute!
Hello!
Ohh, hoho.
It's adorable!
Don't come near me though, I'll fucking stab you.
Can I turn on anything?
Is that a coffee machine? Oh. I really need some coffee.
Aaaagh, the fuck are you!
Go away.
Ahh oxygen I love it, wouldn't breathe anything else.
[Metal groaning]
There's a lot of fuckin' bad sounds going on down here.
I thought those like 'thunk. thunk.'
was something in the distance. No, it's just my fuckin'...
feet walking around.
Okay. Let's see if I can fire one down here.
That was awesome, but fucking terrifying. [Laughing]
Noo, god!
Why'd it have to be so deep underwater?
I didn't know it would be this bad when I was in the game!
Ohh, it's terrifying.
Ah, Anglerfish! Ugh.
[Tapping]
Do I--do I go down here? Oh shit.
Oh shit.
Use them thrusters, buddy!
[Tapping increases]
Is something--AGH. JESUS, NO.
Oh GOD.
Ughhh! Fuck off!
I was wondering what was making that sound! Ugh, weird fuckin' crab.
Eughhh.
I wanna go home. I wanna go home. There's no place like home.
There's no place like HOME.
Yuch!
Elevated O2 intake. I wonder why.
Elevated level of shit in diving suit as well.
[Laughing nervously]
Female on radio: "All hands...this message..."
Whaaat!?
"...has been hit. Taking on water. Please..."
I don't wanna get back to the Hab if you're taking on water!
Can't I just keep going back there and replenishing my oxygen?
Ah, no. Go away!
[Fake crying]
Ahh, just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Listen to Dory.
Aw, you're so fucking gross. No. No!
OH, they're on the GROUND as well!
Agh, you shut up phone!
Go--go away ye...crab bastards!
[Nervous laughter]
'Cause like...I don't mind being in the ocean. I don't mind swimming on a beach
and I don't mind swimming pools or anything like that.
But when it comes to THIS deep down in the water
YEAH.
I'm gonna have to say a big 'ole fuck yourself.
Ewww!
And I don't like creepy crawlies!
GAHH, they're everywhere!
Crabs are like the spiders of underwater!
Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. EW. EWW!
EW, they're EVERYWHERE--NO.
NO. NOO.
Ugh, it's like the scene in Harry Potter where all the spiders come after them!
[Screaming] GO AWAY! Fuck off!
Do I have to fight you?
I
I'll fucking kill you sh--Aragog.
Oh..shit! Shit. SHIT. SHIIIT.
Okay. Okay, no, ugh.
Uhuh-ughh!
Okay.
Okay, I dunno what I'm supposed to do to you.
The flare scared you, but...
You kinda just stand there at the same time--Oh, balls.
Oh balls. Oh balls no go away.
Go away. Go to a different area please!
Don't come after me!
Don't you--DON'T you fuckin' do it!
GO AWAY!
Am I supposed to fight you or something?
'Cause that didn't work so good last time.
Yeah just cli--climb the side of that or something and jus' piss off.
Maybe I can stab the back of you.
C'mere. C'mere!
C'mere! [Screams] FUCK!
OHH GOD--NO.
No. No. No. No. FUCK the crabs.
'Kay, well that does it for this video on Narcosis. I might come back and...
try and go ahead, but I can't take too much of that all at once. Ughh!
Just seeing all those crabs like right in your face!
And I mean, like, RIGHT in your face. They come up, and they're all creepy crawly and disgusting and gross.
And I'm already underwater, it's fuckin' hard enough.
To--ugh, like--DEAL with that management of stress.
Rather than having giant crabs--I didn't know he was gonna...STICK his leg up behind me!
He doesn't even have eyes back there, how did he know I was there?!
So, I'll figure it out next time. Maybe. Ugh.
And plus, it's--it's kinda hard playing a game like this because there's a lot of, ehm.
Because it doesn't use, like standing. And room scale. And it uses keyboard and mouse
kind of interactions to go around rather than the controllers.
It's so much...more nauseating to do that.
Because you--the less control you have in VR the more sick you feel.
And you get that motion sickness because it feels like the camera is moving without you.
And it's moving at IT'S pace rather than your OWN pace.
So--and that's why a lot of developers, um, tend to lean toward teleportation mechanics in games like this.
Where they, they JOLT you forward, like the Storm VR game I did?
Rather than movement like this, because sometimes it can makes you feel...kinda queasy?
And I'm, I'm kinda feeling that as well--and I normally don't get motion sick in VR.
It takes a very specific game to make me motion sick, and this is kinda doing it already which is
kinda disappointing, but I like the idea of the game.
I like that claustrophobic feel of being underwater and looking around.
And I know Subnautica has...uh, VR implementation. But it doesn't have full VR implementation. It's kinda like this.
Where I'd still have to sit, and I'd have to be...in mouse and keyboard and everything, so.
When they get further VR implementation I'll try it out in that.
But for now, I'm not going to--but anyway!
THANK you guys, so much for watching this episode. If you LIKED it...
