That said, I would love if massive-scaled creatures were in Subnautica. Seems only fitting, and with the dropoff of visibility in the ocean it seems like you could cheat it pretty easily on the technical side of things without it looking like old-school fog trickery.
I would like to see creatures of that scale in game. They are so massive they would almost count as terrain, like the Giant in the desert in God of War or the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus.
Perhaps model a giant sea creature (1000m in length) lying dormant on the ocean floor out of terrain and add some moving parts (eye, fins, tentacles) to it to make it appear alive. It might have even been lying there for decades, become crusted with corals and stuff. It is alive but lives on a much larger timescale, like giant sea turtles times 100. It wouldn't move of course, but that's okay because it is so massive it just doesn't care for minor annoyances like the player.
That isn't to say there won't be some pretty large creatures in the game, but we just have to really evaluate the cost vs reward of something like that, and most likely there won't be anything at the massive scale as the posted image in the game for release. Could be great for follow up content though.
totally dig this idea!
cthulhu sleep in R'lyeh ! Hope i'll see him one day (or similar monster) in Subnautica. An old temple under the water.
Some of the colossi are literally part of the landscape until disturbed, then the environment that they've become a part of crumbles and shifts as they reveal themselves.
brb replaying SoC.
