Hey it's Ricardo and welcome back to subnautica below zero below zero is the
natural successor to the original subnautica game but does stand on its
own two feet now this opening sequence is different to what it was in
subnautica where he had just the ship burning you crash and that was the
mystery to all what do you do now you're being guided through things it's a bit
of a a story led introduction and it's very linear you can only go a couple and
you go one way really and then i instigates the entire opening sequence
things to watch out for as well so as your protagonist Robin gets up out of
bed have a good look round make sure you pick up all the PD aids that are around
you're now being given a task to go over and find your friend Jeff or Jeff as it
is and in regards to this a little bit if interbase exploring has to be done
now don't get all excited now because you've got no equipment no scanner
nothing yet but you can see your basis being very well appointed there's lots
of items you're recognized if you're an advocate of the old subnautica game
subnautica below there is a good job of making sure that as soon as you jump
into this game you can see you're in the same universe but obviously look out a
window it's slightly different at the moment at the time of this video which
is November 29 teens early access revision taken in January 2020 it's much
more polished still some graphical errors as well that need tweaking that
need to be tweaked in the original game I'm playing this on an i7 6 generation
with a gtx 1070 card not a fantastic card but it still holds it own in
subnautica below zero does look fantastic
so as i said making sure you go around the tables have a good look make sure
you pick up the PDAs get all the research data that you possibly can
now unfortunately within this laboratory within this little base that you find
yourself in you can't do much you can pick up the PDAs you can open and close
some doors at the moment but you can't integrate interact with the coffee
machine yet you can't interact with the snack machine you can't say right I know
something's gonna happen let's stock up on crisps and and potato chips and all
that sort of thing and water and coffee before I go outside because obviously
that's gonna start a chain of events so nice big windows nice laid out base its
how bases should be semi as you can go into a this you can stepping outside you
can see the space station the Vespa space station in the air you can see
ships flying around going about their business massive radio antenna
you've got prawn suits you've got a sea glide in a box and you just know you're
gonna be wanting to use that later but you can't do anything with it
these are tempting you they're they're telling you that these items are in the
subnautica game and don't worry it of familiarity like a little bit of a
comfort blanket to wrap yourself in now going down the steps into the prawn Bay
you can see some prawns that are damaged the good old prawn suit remember that
yes and some that are in other different states of repair looking around as well
you're gonna see an eaten food by people now we're being told that there's a
meteor storm coming in and that's all gonna result in an exodus from the the
planet in escape ships we're gonna head on down is a little snowman and a digger
in this area just check him out someone's in a bit of a laugh and made a
snowman traditional snowman and put a rebreather on him now we know we're
gonna need that rebreather but you can't pick it up you know you're gonna need
those looks like over engineered oxygen tanks double oxygen tanks you know
high-capacity oxygen tanks but you can pick
that's a little bit frustrating really because you know something's coming but
hey you know it's subnautica and it's such a nice place to be
it's a nice color palette for those people who are always playing space
games in the darkness and the black it really is a visual trick to the eyes so
the all that involved now let's go up to the set of steps just so we can have a
look through the windows and see what's going on something I noticed when I was
playing this earlier on before I did this video hey you can't get into the
door we know that look through the window
though and there seems to be certain things like PDAs that tempt you and
taunt you right at the back there on that desk but you can't get in there and
that's just the end of it it's only just gonna tease you as to what may of being
so with all that we've got a good look around the base
there's our prawn suits uneaten food we've kicked the snow man over opened
all the doors we can let's head on over to our escape shuttle now here we
haven't seen these in said nautical before but this effectively is a certain
or took a space shuttle little bit reminiscent if I'm gonna say about what
we've seen in other sci-fi for example the Orville a little bit sort of
reminiscent of that I think perhaps this a typical pod based you know
shuttlecraft okay it's on its landing pad you can't do
anything with it there's a thing around there that you can currently pick up
there it is so saving screenshots to your PDA on the PC can be done by
pressing f11 now with all that done let's get on with it and let's get round
to invoking certain set pieces of this campaign and we're gonna head on down
towards this path that is marked by path markers now as you can see these plants
they give off a bit of heat and as you approach they do it video to deal with a
good thing they approach and they warm you as you get a little bit closer so so
far we've got no restrictions on air because obviously we're outside but no
restrictions on food and water yet because the game hasn't probably started
this is invoking you through a story mode
now here we go we're coming up to some sort of alien containment area there's
the path mark you just know there's gonna need some precursor stuffy so
there's a flashy thing you can't pick that up either don't know what it is
doesn't tell you into these lovely frozen caves that sparkle moving through
and we get to the research area look at that anybody alien technology alien AI
is speaking to us definitely alien definitely precursor you know I mean it
is what it is I mean again fans of subnautica would be familiar with this
type of architecture as well let's get over and let the story unfold a bit so
we've got on the right hand side a coffee machine we've got some
microscopes you've got other items the ear these you can't interact with
however you can interact with the coffee machine you can click it twice and you
can get two cups of coffee worth Y if you gather on what's coming so click it
twice or it can do really it is help you out
take my PDA there just subnautica alien sanctuary is saying it's power is low go
over you could possibly put a tablet in there if we had one but we haven't so
that's going to be the aim of the game I think really at least in the early
stages is the gain old of a tablet get all of a tablet find a way back to this
point stick the tablet in an angle fall into another part of the game there's
our two cups of coffee Oh Jeff of is nowhere to be seen
we've got no tablet to insert so let's head on back out towards our escape
shuttle get a bit more coffee as well while we're on the way so back the way
we came now after the left down side there's a little antechamber sort of
cave don't know what this is there for nothing there so far you can't jump up
into it it might come into things later on in the game that might be the way how
you gain access back into it seems to be a cave-like structure and an opening
past that but of course your little legs can't jump high enough and you can't
climb high enough to get up there so back out the way we came
moving along down back through the path
glowy thing is thought glowing just look out do anything with that and you've got
a landslide cause no doubt by all the disturbance from the meteor shell that's
hit the planet while you're in there talking to the alien sanctuary so only
way to go is over these steps over these rocks
more meteors hitting through the atmosphere it's all started to come down
to it now
very spectacular scimitar look at starting to build peril and subnautica
does that really well so the sudden wanted it below zero you stand to get
that sense of earnestness that urgency
this was you escape chef thank you very much thanks Jo if that's you he's gone
straight away and there we are we're stranded now on a planet with a lutea
storm coming in but so far you've got your sister up in the Vespa looking out
for you big big sister is watching you now you
can see some familiar plants poking up through the ice again more more meteors
coming down in the periphery as yet not impacting you and there's your face
ahead of you
here comes a huge ginormous landslide coming down crushing the base hugging
the base you can't get hold of any of your equipment not the communications
tower
we've lost contact with your sister up up in the sky
you start your way down this is where things start to get real
and subnautica below zero stats that get into itself ice shattered
you've lost your ladder on the other side no chances yet as getting back to
your base and now in the familiar underwater under the sea environment
that we all know from the original subnautica gotta make use of air pockets
as well at this stage of the game you've got health you've got food you've got
water and of course keep I on your left hand panel for air make sure you don't
dally about and make sure you get to an air pocket as soon as you possibly can
it's the devs are gonna just right so you get a little bit of peril little bit
suspense really oh my gonna run out of a him but no we can recharge your ear here
back up to 45 into initial starting err point then you can head back out through
that cave entrance or cave exit into the open sea and then you get the first
glimpse of what subnautica below zero really is all about the bladder fish
good source of water bit of lime steel outcrops there good source of materials
get some titanium get some copper get some leather lithium let's make our way
to the surface this evening get all those floating packs of ice and there
you see the Penguins the cute indigenous life forms of the planet more meteors
coming down your sister Sam is now dropping in escape pod
and then it all starts so a good sort of story led very sort of linear let you
think that you're getting into the game but it's going you down a path of the
game can really start I really like it so Nautica below zero is shaping up to
be a really good game and as a result of this I'm gonna be doing a hell of a lot
more videos so I've been Ricardo this has been submerged occur below zero and
the opening sequence and player opening sequence as well we're getting our life
pod being dropped into the water check back for more videos on how to make
certain items in this new attic and below zero and frosty environment things
up north again thanks for watching like and subscribe if you haven't done so and
check back for more videos in this series
you
