I liked the freedom of being able to construct bases wherever you liked, and the crazy strategies that this allowed. I liked the longer matches that felt like epic struggles, rather than the 20 minute rounds you tended to get in later iterations of the game.

The series also became progressively more streamlined over time, which wasn't to my taste. The game is now dead in my country (Australia), and you can't get a game ever as far as i can tell, which is a real shame. It felt like the prolonged development cycle (seemingly caused by the developers switching away from the source engine quite late into development) led to the game missing its window of opportunity to really hit it large. NS2 was also very good, but some of the magic was lost by the time it came out. Make ugly/disgusting aliens.Natural Selection is one of the greatest online shooters of all time, and was so far ahead of its time that there's very little to compare it to even now. Let's see blood traces on walls and hear aliens run in ventilation shafts we have to crawl in. More mature horror sequences in interiors (like in metroid prime 3 or resident evil 7 abandoned ships).Ability to create rooms or warp gates in bases for teleportation between bases (maybe gates could warp subs too, at a cost). Less tedious backtracking and better waypoint usage.Why expand when I can just bring more food/water/batteries ? It's usually faster to not create more bases than the opposite. More reasons to create bases (creating a second or third base is too expensive in resources).You want to create a base ? I hope you're ready to farm a lot and backtrack to your first base a few times to get resources. Less inventory constraints for crafting resources.

The power upgrade was too hard to find and only present in one zone in the game. seatruck modules made it too slow even with horsepower upgrade. if I get a max depth upgrade, a snowfox or a tractor beam tool I want it to be useful at several places (was handled better in subnautica 1 than in below zero).

multiplayer-controlled vehicles (expected).

I'd gladly give up the story in such a game-mode in return for not having near perfect recollection of where everything is. But, a procedurally generated map would allow basically limitless replayability. For the purposes of story you really can't get around a handcrafted map and that comes with its own advantages. This one is probably never going to happen but: procedurally generated maps. Removes the bioreactor, makes it so the character can't keep consuming foodstuffs past 100 of either food or water, slower growthrates/less yield for plants and fish. Perhaps this is best implemented as a new set of difficulties: Creative, Story, Survival, and Hardcore (both story and survival) where the difference between story and survival is that Story is what survival is now and Survival then implements changes to make food/water/power harder to come by. BZ was a bit better about this early game, late game not so much. You were never so far from your base that you needed preserved foods. In SN all it took was a growbed, a bioreactor, and a common plant to completely sidestep these mechanics. Maybe even rework the drill arm to be for resource collection only.įood, water, and power should not be trivially solveable. So no more stasis rifles, repulsion cannons, torpedoes, and perimeter defense modules. An aquarium module, really? Wasn't there supposed to be a third vehicle as well?Īlot of the excitement comes from being utterly vulnerable around these giant creatures.

The seatruck was too slow even without modules and most of the modules were utterly pointless. I ended up playing through 99% of BZ using just the Prawn suit. Make sure all the vehicles occupy their own useful niche.
