Subnautica logic: grabbed by a Cheli? Push the jaws of a creature apart even though it’s beak is two to three times bigger than your entire body.

[@HungrySharkGamerthesharkojira]

Just now found out that I haven’t played subnatica or below zero in so long I forgot that cheli stood for chalicerate

[@SS-rf1ri]

See the sizes are pretty inaccurate, especially for the larger creatures, cause in the cutscenes they look smaller than they "Are" but they look about the same size as they appear through the camera, devs went and cranked up the size until it matched what they wanted, so the most accurate judge of a creature size is probably how big it looks

[@AF20_Gaming]

It is because the camera rig subnautica uses has a very high FOV so the models are scaled ridiculously large, and yet look tiny for example: the reaper is the size of the Statue of Liberty in the game, but only appears to the player to be the size of a bus

[@conormeade3849]

​@@gasiliangames7285the point was about the normal floaters the player can pick up, from a 3rd person perspective they look bigger than they do when you carry one

[@franciscojavierblancodelga4261]

It's not that it's a mistake, it's just that on a graphic design level, it's extremely difficult or impossible to create a functional entity in a massive size and scale it with the rest of the objects so that it looks good in first person, without it looking deformed, with glitched textures, or crashing the game due to the memory it would occupy. Typically, only colossal sizes are used in third person or from an inaccessible distant point, and along with the old trick of making the object small; look at the Leviathans, sometimes their movement causes them to pass through their own body or rocks, and with the Leviathan Gargantuar mod, it's even more pronounced. A "practical" solution is to set the game's FOV as far away as possible.

[@annoyingkittycat6449]

I did not expect a warper to be so massive! I thought they were about the size of the player but turns out they're massive. Interesting.

[@KostasOkomura]

[@Kaptson]

This really scales up into the fear factor for Subnautica. From a First person perspective most of these creatures seem to look average size or smaller, but from a Third person perspective you can see just how big they really are and in/if a real world like this existed they can eat you in one bite/swallow. With these leviathans its on a whole other level, similar to the statement before, they look big in 1st but in 3rd you are no more than a breadcrumb to them, especially for the gargantuan. This make the oceans of Subnautica even more scary, just like Qui Gon stated; "There's always a Bigger Fish"

[@SS-rf1ri]

The cutscenes make them look smaller, so it's probably safe to assume they're meant to be about the same size as they look in first person, despite their models being massive

[@firemario789]

@@SS-rf1ri It's just depth perception not working as well in first person. If you play in VR the creatures look their proper size. And the lengths are provided by the scanner in game.

[@raionshishi8290]

Technically speaking the Guardian Leviathan at 7:14 should be higher on the list if we knew it's confirmed full size. Even if the skeleton shows it to be around that size, the PDA entry suggests that it would be larger than any living creature encountered on the planet, meaning that if the Sea Emperor Leviathan is currently the largest living creature we know of on the planet (could also arguably be the Ghost Leviathan since it's hinted in the PDA entry that they don't stop growing) than it has a high indication and probability that the Guardian Leviathan is significantly bigger than 200m.

Nothing wrong with the Video (apart from that the sign in front of the Stalker sais snowstalker) i just once again wonder how anything on that Planet is able to survive with so many, so big Predators (even the smaller ones are four meters Long...)

[@ems8903]

i'd assume a lot of the fauna (in the original game, at least) survive off of phytoplankton, small insects like the rockgrub, and fish like the peeper since they're *all* around the crater with the emperor's tank vents. segregation is probably a significant factor as well, some spaces in the game are too narrow for certain fauna to fit through or just don't meet the living standards they require. for example, the gargantuan leviathan is estimated to have died because it literally got stuck in the lost river and didn't have a feasible source of nutrition. you also don't see reapers swimming around in the safe shallows, which is probably why the flora and fauna there are able to flourish so well

This was great and I like it, you did a fantastic job with it and for the various different creatures that show up multiple times in the games they vary a bit each time you see them. Its not something that you might see without it being pointed out to you but it is true. The reason for variables in size is because the human brain if it sees animals being the exact same every single time it makes them feel less real and it also breaks the world immersion. The lack of variation can also cause a few problems with uncanny Valley and other similar things. Most people are not immediately aware or affected by the problem but when they are it can easily cause other problems.

No coz every thing else also seems very big

[@Adelfuns18]

Yes, the seamoth, my favorite creature in the game!

[@ReleasedHollow]

They should a photo mode in the next game. As overdone it is for most games, I think Subnautica could really benefit from it. Start getting eaten? Photo mode so you can see the size of the thing eating you and get the perfect postcard to send back to family.

[@mikelamprou8115]

The regular stalker is labelled as snowstalker by accident. Other than that you did a great job as you created a very informative video!

[@ZenithTech35]

This is exactly the reason I want to play this game in VR sooooo bad, and also exactly the reason I refuse to, so I don't piss my pants from just a stalker xD

[@lyagish5499]

Girls: Ugh, you're 1 centimeter shorter than us guys:

[@iantucker2905]

gargantuan leviathan lifeform detected, its been an honor working with you captain

[@trishagregory5810]

These things don't look anywhere near this big in the game, like I knew they were big but seeing it from this perspective is insane

[@legobatmangaming2401]

is it weird that this makes me want to live on the planet more knowing how much bigger they are in real life?

[@kristoffpaul8824]

legends say that there is a gigantic ancient floater holding up the universe

[@brooklynseright-qh5si]

Blood crawler is where i go head and draw the line. I would've had a heart attack seeing that in person

[@Sacha686]

the most shocking for me was the sea treader! he's absolutely gigantic!

[@marcps3522]

I'm sure I read somewhere the model size is not supposed to be the "real" size and most of them are way bigger than they should look because the first person camera distortion makes them look smaller so they scaled them up so we could see them really big. However scaling them up made them enormous in 3rd person wich, of course, should never be a thing in game :p Great video tho, loved watching every single model! The only mistake I've seen is the stalker, wich has the "snowstalker" name as the model before.

[@kenshin7247]

I don’t think I’ve ever pooped my pants more than in these 12 minutes.

[@WojtekXD-bx7jb]

Bruteshark is NOWHERE that big, jeez, just how much false sense of safety can the first person camera create? Lol

[@wesleycolvin7158]

Videos like this leave me a little disappointed that there isn't a 3rd person option in game to visually compare during a playthrough.

[@GummyBear651]

I love rockgrubs an unreasonable amount

[@monarque3679]

Amazing video dude!

[@seokdec]

There is nothing to worry about the Gargantuan Leviathan; this is just from a mod. It is a bit unknown why the creator added the Gargantuan Leviathan from a mod

[@thunder_wolf23]

It wouldn't be an oceanic horror size comparison without an Eldritch God

[@denifnaf5874]

Technically the ghost leviathans in the void have more space to grow than the seadragons in those caverns, even if the ghost leviathans you see are 107 meters long, they can and will get bigger.

[@abdulhamidisavunmushamur8872]

In their info from the PDA, it told that they reached their limit of size

[@blu3d3vil97]

just having space doesnt necesarily mean they will grow bigger than everything else they could if they had indefinite growth but its stated they dont, and even with that they will still have a limit cuz food, size being harmfull eventually, and so on

[@dragkuneesaku5419]

​@@abdulhamidisavunmushamur8872 Ghost Leviathan's don't have a limit of size, the pda said they can keep growing after they reach adulthood

[@capybara9521]

​@@dragkuneesaku5419so he's still right, use your brain before talking

[@gokuss9999]

Bro, someone needs to make a mod that makes every creature actually seem to scale, cuz even face to face with some creatures they don't seem as big as this...

[@Probabplayer]

Bro called the stalker a snow stalker

[@ThePyroJinx]

Love that you swam through the hole fish. Nice touch!

[@morgandpanda]

Ngl it this is kinda calming to watch and surprising

[@spacegamedev]

Can you do a tutorial on how to extract the assets from the game?

[@reverendsaul]

Some of these were pretty shocking. I thought cave crawler and blood crawler were the same size. Lava Larva and Pengwing were bigger than I thought. Lava Lizard and Sand Shark were actually smaller than I thought. I was curious if Sea Emperor was still the biggest after the second game. Crabsquid is still my all time favorite creature.

[@Shregurun93]

What’s scary is that your so incredibly tiny to the Gargantuan leviathan that it doesn’t even consider you worth eating. I don’t think it even sees you! biologically impossible…

[@samuelchristian2411]

I though the Shadow Leviathian would have been bigger. it is my favorite of them all

[@DeoNone69]

same, it's so well designed and intimidating, and in game it has just the best biome purposefully made for it to be even scarier, AND the AI on that thing is really well done, especially when it comes out of nowhere just to scare you xd

[@rustkarl]

@@DeoNone69 To each his own. My preference is for the Ghost Leviathan.

[@JonathanHuff]

Every time I see one of these for a first-person game I wonder about the artist's intent for the size of things. Did the designers make the game assets the size they wanted and ignore the way things look smaller on the screen, or did they oversize them so that things would look the size they had in mind?

[@LyehtOfficial]

What a beautiful Snowstalker. Never realized the fish that stole your metal salvage was the same boi from Below Zero
