Hello it's Ricardo and welcome to the first play of subnautica I've been fancy
in this game for a while and I finally got it from Steam so let's take a look
at the options on the main menu in particular I'm looking at the graphics
and I've got it ramped up nine twenty by ten eighty got the volume and the music
volume all ramped up but we're gonna go down we're gonna take a look at the
graphics options as well so I've got it set to custom I got the color grading to
filmic which is that nice sort of like deep color brightening it all up again
with the other color grading options you get that effect of the sea now the sea
is obviously a big part of this game as it is in sea or themes so getting the
right color for the sea I think is really important so neutral you know it
shows a lot of detail the neutral and I think I'll leave it there detail I got
set to high and all the other settings I've got set to high as well the
keyboard and the keyboard options I'm leaving this default that way when I go
through the tutorial the tutorial where at least give me a helping hand
as to what the hell's going on so there you go into play and a quick little go
earlier on to make sure it was all working which it does I'm gonna start a
new game I've got a couple of options survival freedom hardcore and creative
well I'm gonna go with survival for the time being just to see what it's all
about and get to grips with the game so with
that selected off we go and here's the loading screen and it loads quite
quickly I've got to say I mean compared to some other games that are out there
I've got it running on a normal 7200 rpm Drive not an SSD drive a normal
conventional Drive and to be fair I've been quite happy
with the performance so here we go let's
see the introduction so pressing a button to continue
lets us continue
so got ambient sounds her into an escape pod the bars come down and we're off now
looking up there we can see through the little portal the ship is being
destroyed by some catastrophic event
we're caught in the blast in the wake
and we'd be knocked out by a bit of paneling well there you have it knocked
up by a bit of paneling everybody that's why it's all about
so I've woken up now and straight away things are on fire
you've got immediate danger to deal with so I'm out there you go as a fire
extinguisher on the on the floor there's the fire I've got to put the fire out so
I'm gonna grab that fire extinguisher so click in that and discharge in the fire
extinguisher at the fire pretty much straightforward panic averted but you're
straight in there you're straight in there with the action this is some sort
of a PDA
okay so I've suffered minor trauma there you go thank you very much and it was no
surprise there and it shows in my inventory I've got a fire extinguisher
well that's brilliant isn't it so God knows what that's gonna do so if you
like what you're seeing so far kick that subscribe button and the like button and
then the notification icon as well with notifications turned on and that way
I'll let you know when I'm putting more videos of subnautica elite dangerous
star citizen and the like on YouTube so you don't miss any so you've got a
ladder in the escape pod but on the PDA you've got many other options like
blueprints pictures your location tools now I need to get a handheld scanner
apparently the handheld scanner is like the quintessential tool to use in this
game now just scan things get blueprints and then create things with the
fabricator so here we go
things still sparking away but there's no dramas here's the fabricator I was
talking about this allows you to change materials that you collect around the
environment into options so it is your crafting mechanism okay you've got
materials you've got food including water and other foodstuffs
you've got equipment and then you've got like vehicles and heavy equipment so
having a quick scan through the blueprints that you've got you can see
I've got things there to pick up like aquariums and scanners and repair tools
but also in this part you've got a storage container where you can store a
lot of materials you can't carry an infinite amount of equipment in gear so
you can have to build these storage containers place them around any
habitats or areas that you've got so you can go back and forth and stock them up
okay so next on the list in the escape pod is the medical kit fabricator which
you're opening it gives you a medical kit thank you very much I'll have that
and here's a damaged radio which needs to be repaired with a repair tool which
I haven't crafted yet so we've got escape pod hatch at the bottom so you
can enter from the bottom if you're in the water and you've got one at the top
if you don't feel like getting your feet wet so let's get up here so this is our
new home there's the crash ship that we saw in
the cutscene and look at the animation on the water that's fantastic isn't it I
mean as you would expect subnautica the sea is going to be a character all of
its own and I mentioned this with Co Thieves
and one of the most redeeming things of Cu thieves is the water dynamic because
hey that's the most thing you're looking at so yeah fantastic fantastic animation
on the water which is I wouldn't expect anything less be perfectly honest with
you so I think it's time to get my feet wet really um I think we just step off
jump in get on with it and see what lays beneath the sea surface so let's get wet
and straight away you can see this is gonna be a very graphical game you've
got the reflections on the surface you've got damage strewn all the way
around which I'm going to pick up for materials you've got outcrops of quartz
in caves so I'm going to zoom around and start collecting some materials now in
this underwater cave stay away from some of the beasties for now I don't know
what exactly know what I'm doing in regards to the animals but I'm not going
to worry there and they shouldn't worry me now these acid mushrooms now I've
seen in red that you need those to make a battery that I think along with
titanium and it's um copper deposits as well I've picked up get him back aboard
the escape pod I can get in there and start creating things so I need to
create batteries I need to create a scanner and I can fit my scan to slot
two and that will allow me to go around and scan other items and then duplicate
them on my fabricator so it's little got some other options as
well you can see I've played some titanium I can make a floating air pump
look at that and I can use that for pumping air out of certain areas
so fins fins ah let me go further and faster yeah I need to get some of those
and for that I need latex rubber I can craft glass for Windows and a waterproof
Locker don't like a store some Stephan so so far I'm quite happy I'm quite
impressed with it it's quite an easy interface to get the hang of it's not as
cumbersome that's what I think that's gonna expect it to be so obviously a lot
of work has gone into making this crafting system it's gonna be a huge
part of the game very accessible from the get-go so I think I'm going to enjoy
this so this was my first look at subnautica I've been Riccardo so please

unfold so if you don't watch the game unfold with me I suggest you subscribe
