Play as the Reaper

in Subnautica General Discussion
A few months back, one of the devs posted a tweet along the lines of: "What would you like to see in multiplayer Subnautica? Dream big and tell me."

I don't use Twitter, so I wasn't able to respond there. But, I had a fun idea in the shower this morning.

How about a four player mode where three players are survivors, attempting to build the rocket and escape... And one player plays as a Reaper Leviathan, and attempts to stop them?

    Was thinking "Alien VS Predator 2". Played it at a tiny LAN party (I guess my age is showing there - that and I did not play NS2, only bits of NS1) once and it is firmly stuck in my memory. The difference between "that deadly sneaky thing patrolling where devs told it to" and "that same deadly sneaky think which is where it had never ever been before" is huge.

    The balancing will certainly be tricky to avoid spawn-camping (or, rather, wreck-/databox-camping). Maybe having to periodically eat some type of fish which flees far (hundreds of meters) from any survivor ?

    Well...

    The Reaper would have to eat, just like the players. In fact I would imagine it would have to eat a *lot*, given how big it is. It wouldn't be able to camp anywhere very long.

    Self-solving problem. :)

    Sorta...

    ... yes.

    ... little amusing the idea exists already. :)

    Having said that, the difference between that game and this one is clear! In one, you play as a shark. In this one, you'd play as a REAPER!

    Imagine playing with with a group of friends, and you talk to them on discord or something. The person playing as the reaper does its roar and your friends are just freaking out.
    I just find it funny that the players would be asking them to stop and the person playing the reaper just says no. Then just continues scaring them.
    I really like that idea of that as a multiplayer mode.
