Hello it's Ricardo Vaughn welcome to subnautica below-zero subnautica below
zero has been released in early access mode and the developers do say it's then
finished its unpolished it's got bugs you know but it's released and you know
what it looks good enough to me great finally the original sub nor to a
game even from us early access this is shaping up to be absolutely fantastic
we're gonna go through the introduction sequence and play through the
introduction level of the game we're gonna load up here we go we've got a
typical subnautica tune playing in the background you're gonna vote adjust some
of the settings look at the graphics and the color gradings I like using the
filmic color grading in this I think it gives it an extra bit of warmth and
depth makes that see look it's a little bit more foreboding because it's set in
Artic lands as well you know you want that sort of deep blue to sort of
resonate through I feel anyway let me know what you think in the comments
what's or graphic settings you're using so I've gone through I set everything to
hive got the geforce gtx 1070 i know the new cards are out now but hey we're
gonna leave that where it is we're not gonna go splashing out any money on you
cards just yet we're gonna let it all settle down when i ramp the resolution
up because of my lovely new monitor so it would do it in 4k if it will indeed
run in 4k and we're gonna find out a little bit noticeable slow down i've
seen on the sea animation but we're gonna click on play and once you've
clicked on play start a new game into survival get straight in there and see
how it goes now this loading screen very nice very artistic you know it's gonna
be with us for a while in the game and typically the game takes about 30 to 40
seconds to load up from this point no mattis is a first play and it's a first
load of of the game I literally have not touched it this is the first load I'm
gonna let this load screen going let it build so you get an idea of what you can
expect when you access this on your PC now what can we expect from subnautica
below 0 well it's obviously gonna play to the end of war a dynamic subnautica
it's gonna be you know frosty it's gonna be set on you know a nice part of that
planet the technology is gonna be typically the same but we're probably
gonna see some more technology as well that's going to lend itself to the
advancements to what we found in the original game
they'll be on the old favorites like the scanner and habitats the ability to
build bases and things but hey you know I'm really looking forward to it and
there it is it slowly it hasn't taken so long okay unknown World Entertainment
presents a good old black screen and we're waking up in some sort of dream
sequence now here we are in an established base we're gonna turn off
that alone and in stats move around our surroundings we do a little bit of
exploration pick up all the data pads and data modules make sure we've got
everything we possibly have before we so like venture outside into the wild I
think but it does give you an idea and here's some fantastic bases built it
within the subnautica community that you see on youtube as well and it does give
you an idea of what a base could actually look like I mean with the
original seven Nautica you had to rely on other youtubers what other people are
put on in the community with this it gives you a base you haven't just got a
pod now you've been given a base to see what
a base could potentially look like and see how way it's been set out nice and
pictures on the walls and no familiar bulkhead doors here we are walking some
sort of communal cafeteria sort of type of place got a bar with coffee machines
lockers next to an airlock and there's the base from the outside a great pillar
like structure in the middle I don't like to be prawn suits out there as well
let's see if we can get over there and get ourselves a cup of coffee nope
we can't for some reason we have been thwarted by the barrier behind the
counter being down nice placement rubbish bins water dispenser all these
items are familiar for those people who have played subnautica I think
subnautica below-zero is gonna stand as a standalone game as well it's not an
add-on to subnautica they've said that you know it's a standalone game and as a
result of this you know it has to you know develop its own merits has to guide
the player through the idea of you know learning how to do things of course if
you played the original game you're gonna have a little bit of an advantage
but hopefully the developers have put enough variety in there that advantage
will be will be minimal shells and cupboards the pictures of the cat
picture of whatever looked like to be the crew in a laboratory so I think
they've been so guided towards the laboratory we can't get any tasty snacks
at the tasty snack machine but so far pretty slick a couple of abandoned PDAs
around always worthwhile picking those abandoned pda's up just for a little bit
of in-game depth and you never know what information they may contain inside so
there's the Vesper picture which is a overseeing Overlord and here we are in
the lab lots of also in lab equipment there's a bioreactor there again more
PDAs
now we've got research notes a couple of weekly reports you know something that
you can look back and have a take take stock at your leisure I think so as a
battery charger something of the ecosystem so it does give you a little
bit of time to have a look around your surroundings before you venture outside
it's completely voluntary but young s face it you can't wait to get outside
you want to get in there you want to get in and see what the hell's going on it's
opening the outside door and there it is a nice crisp wintry Wonderland that is
subnautica below zero and you can see good graphics they have the silhouette
of your female avatar some pron suits so a neat some food some beer so we have
all the people on this is what we're asking ourselves okay I'll check it out
okay Jefferies has gone missing would it kill your career to act like
we'd met before I think you've got Sam up in the Vespa we've got Robin who is
our protagonist and we've got to go off and find Jefferies right okay then so
quick look around doors yeah great prawn suits we can't get into
those at the moment by the look of it
they're there just to let you know they're there and it's a good old nod to
the original Gaiman and what you can potentially potentially what you can
achieve to get once you find all these blueprints so we've got the fall know
we've got a snowman wearing a rebreather mask and I will destroy that why not do
you want a Biddle snowman no I don't but you can't pick the rebreather off that
off that snowman so okay let's go so down here what have we got we've got a
frozen a frozen lake and a ladder and pressing that button on that climb down
and the things
nothing's happening at all so I'm just gonna jump off so he shouldn't incur too
much damage but damage the damage status areas of the bottom left-hand side
haven't appeared yet so I'm still playing through that demo part of the
game the orientation getting yourself used to things
animation Mich missing on the climb up the ladder so i near are some guide
markers as you can see there pillars with lights we're going to follow those
and take a look at you know the surroundings and the fauna and the plant
life that is all around in in subnautica below zero even though they're above
water plants you know they're they're they're land-based plants they've got
that slight nod to what they wouldn't look out of place and the water would
they okay so we're coming down this this
rocky path all lit up we come into a cave or a green glowy thing now you've
seen these from subnautica
County interact with it into the cave
so nice of blue hewn of lights reflecting to water to ice in over
frozen glazing you see that on ice planet all the time
excellent effect and here we've got some alien tech and alien structure let's
approach that and see what's going on up there is Jeffrey's around Julie isn't
they need to pick up nope ready to pick up microscopes well ideally of the city
is talking to us how do you know my name it knows this knows this robbing good
all the building just powered out we come in peace I'm fine right okay
nothing to do here and then we can actually pick up
I think it's already here right now we've got my electrical installed able
so let's head on back to the base I think and try and get the safety so so
far so good if you like what you're seeing do me a favor
that like and subscribe button and also that notification icon that let you know
I'm putting more subnautica below zero videos on YouTube okay so the see here
let's head on back there's a keypad there no anything with this
thunder and lightning is coming on right a bit of a storm so let's head on back
out through the cave so I'll go and get a cup of coffee and away we go okay so
at the mouth of the cave now just see what's going on outside massive thunder
crack well that's our way directly back to our base broken
and we can Crouch by pressing C so I think now it's gonna be a case of going
over this rebel in the left-hand corner down this little path and see if we can
get to it round the other way so it's still playing the the introduction
sequence because we've got no damage or food or health or water stats on the
bottom left stalactite icicles right okay so here we are we're on this or
guided path sequence just frozen river in this glacier right so there's the
base something's happening it's a massive
avalanche oh that's the base gunman and as a result of that that massive tower
that was quite quite spectacular over the base has just broken all the hard
ice on the frozen ice on that pool that's now giving us access directly to
water so here comes the subnautica part of things then a bit of running around
on the surface and now we're into frosty water so we came equipped with a
rebreather but obviously we can have to able to upgrade that I'm having a quick
look around now the PDS have put it in emergency mode
okay so Arctic survival guys we've got to get shelter I suppose really so we're
going through an underwater cave for those have played some nautical find
this be very familiar course a ringer on oxygen we haven't got any upgraded tanks
or anything yet up to the surface get some air and back down into the deep and
to this it's allowed your expanse of water over there just take a little look
around as well look at the Sun coming through what a fantastic effect that
deep blue I'm really happy I went without a filmic color no fish swimming
around let's get some air stock up on all that have a quick look around we've
got the penguin like animals on there on there icebergs there was a few outcrops
as well and a few Graff trap right of course we can't scan those or pick those
up I've got a little bit of titanium already it's a couple of bladder fish
walking around on swimming around I should say we're gonna get hold of those
they're a good source of water so we'll get those and see if we can get
something for a bit of food of course but starting to lose a little bit light
now you can see the light stand you in contact with Robin and Sam
I just need shelter no she doesn't want to rescue Cheryl
she wants a habitat well there you go know if it was me you could get me off
that planet straight away I'd be up there drinking hot chocolate with your
boots off a nice big furry socks but there you go
so then so your own little bit of ice on a nice
right so what do we do where do we go
so I think time to get some something to eat and some and some water so the
bladder fish and some of the other fish that you can turn into protein yes we're
wrong we just pick those up of course keeping it now in our stats now so we're
actually now playing the game the intro is actually finished right so we're off
to go and find a habitat that's been sent down from the Vesper which is the
sub sub-zero Overlord upstairs in orbit around this planet so
we've got some Vlada fish and we've got some other fish as well the other fish
we can turn into into food right okay so we're losing light we've got to try and
find now where exactly this habitat is and that'll be depicted there it is by
an orange pod we know although this is symbol from from subnautica so they try
and swim all the way over there now before we lose too much light and we do
not the hell we're doing
quite amazing how you know 16 minutes has already gone into the game when it's
very engaging it and for early access brilliant right so we're right on top of
it now so we're losing light so I can see if we can see something because it's
very dark can't see much I got a little bit more time than I should have done
end of the water but if you can just make out here it is you can see the
portal window is directly below and here we are we've got a fabricating we've got
a portal window and we got some storage so and the facility it's that my name I
need to know why a little bit of story because I played subnautica I know I can
use the fabricator to make water that's gonna make some water
and of course was it converted all those bloody fish into water
I'm then gonna cook that peeper the Attic peeper so there you go I've now
got water and I've got sustenance and got some recipes in there as well so far
so good I'm enjoying it I'm not gonna venture outside it says wait I'll wait -
they're girls they liked it - a turn up and the centre come up so I can see
what's going on my surroundings and I'll go searching for some of those other
recipes as well so so far I've got some filtered water I got a cooked arctic
peeper and I got a chunk of titanium all good stuff so thanks very much for
watching I've been Riccardo this has been
submitted below zero and a quick look through the introduction sequence and
the couple of minutes of that of gameplay check back for more videos in
the series it is an early access but I'm really enjoying this and if you haven't
