DeMonkey Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Too scared to even look. That mission in GTA5 where you swim around underwater? Yeah no, can't do that. Seems like there's a craze for underwater games this year. Edited May 20, 2015 by DeMonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheErebus. Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Seems like there's a craze for underwater games this year. The cycle of gaming. When one thing is popular, many others will attempt to leech off of it. But it seems that this game is trying out something a bit new. Subnautica is more of a survival game (something I detest) but this one seems more focused on the horror aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acos Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I don't think it's necessarily always that nefarious. Sometimes when something is popular it just... resonates in other developers and they eventually subconsciously become inspired by it and do something similar. Being inspired by other people is a major component of art. There's a distinction between flattery and plagiarism. Also; I'm very interested in this project. The ocean has always had this sort of... mystical wonder to it. It being scary as hell is part of that. Edited May 20, 2015 by Acos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being inspired by other people is a major component of art. There's a distinction between flattery and plagiarism. I didn't mean for it to sound nefarious, well at least not in this case. The way I phrased it is more fitting to horror games and the popularity of one causing a huge wave of re-creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrn Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I feel you there. Open water just gives me the willies. The moment I'm suspended in the open with low visibility or boundaries I can otherwise not see, I get rather uncomfortable. With that in mind, Iron Fish could be pretty interesting to look into...if I ever feel like playing a slower-paced thriller/horror/whatever game. Thanks for the heads up.

It's that feeling that you can't go as fast as you normally can and then you have that thought that there is something beneath you and you can't really fight back.

For me, I think it's just the sense of not knowing if there is something just out of sight (or what it is). Also, I hate jump scares, and lots of underwater situations have rather fast moving creatures that pop out of nowhere (and often look pretty weird). Apprehension feeds suspense and blah blah Point is, underwater be spooky Edited May 20, 2015 by Vyrnaazus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kestral9999 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 ...As someone with both a major phobia of drowning AND a fear of ocean depths this game is like P.T. garnered specifically for my fears. I LOVE IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout751 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 JESUS CHRIST HOW HORRIFYING. Can't stand ocean depths. Seriously. I already fear drowning and the last thing I want to see is whatever the hell lies down there. Leave that to the abyss, please, and don't let it stare back into you.
