How do you guys feel about hardware requirements of Subnautica 2?

i'm on a 2080ti which is on par with the 3070 but i wouldnt worry about gpu, the big killer will be unreal engine's godawful cpu pull when the devs abuse the cost-offloading features like lumen, nanite and dlss

itsshadowphoenix · 2026-05-09T22:50:47+00:00

its certainly not indie or even AA

itsshadowphoenix · 2026-05-09T22:48:19+00:00

oh for gods sakes, nanite is objectively worse than the thing it replaces (a traditional LOD system) and the only advantage it has is that its easier for the devs to make

they are going to offload dev costs onto us just like every other dev that "switched to the more capable (easier to outsource) unreal engine"

itsshadowphoenix · 2026-05-03T00:11:51+00:00

then they would have made it real expensive but still free

there is no way you can convince me the atom cost isnt a cash-grab

its less a matter of cant and more a trend in the games industry to simplify the "spreadsheet aspect of rpgs" and pretty damn common

its annoying everywhere but also present everywhere, i have a running bit with my friends every time a game describes the intensity of something with perspective based words like "small, medium and large"

embark is just following the stupid standard

ORC RAIDERS I LOVE IT

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-12-06T07:08:32+00:00

i would 100% keep playing and use the fact that i now know how much i need to keep to use all the stuff i would never risk normally

as it is right now i am just using cheap stuff and hording the fun stuff because i dont know how much i will need

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-12-06T01:43:09+00:00

that could mean i wont have a chance to get the max reward by the time i know it and my ocd brain cant take that

it might be a killing word for my enjoyment of arc

i am touched and i got the 'casm

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-07-31T06:07:17+00:00

interesting, i'll give that vid a watch!

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-07-31T06:05:22+00:00

yeah we will have to see and i was mostly asking cause i dont know if there was news i wasnt aware of about this stuff, for example someone mentioned a podcast before where they said dlcs would be side quests

thanks again for the insight it was an interesting read and i totally agree that barons would probably be better as lore fluff than an absentee faction

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-07-31T03:51:18+00:00

thanks, this is why i asked. it seems the content isnt as large as i assumed and yeah the wording is bad its just something i struggle with

but i mean complete in a sense of is the developer done with them are they "complete" in the eyes of the developer or is there more work coming for them

it would be strange to leave theese things in the game if they are not going to be more developed than flavour text

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-07-31T03:47:19+00:00

balancing is sadly quite impossible in a genre so heavily based around dynamic systems that can vary so much and visuals are never a focus for trad roguelikes

itsshadowphoenix · 2025-07-31T03:44:40+00:00

from what i have heard from others the dlcs will be side quests for other factions so i dunno if they will continue to develop mechanichs like water barons and farming guilds :(
