  • Oh dear God I remember the extremely old times where the lava zone was just a myth that its only proof was a coordinate that teleported you to a void looking biome
  • I can still remember when we were speculating about the Lava Zone, Sea Emperor etc. Good times man
  • @rainraven9881
    As someone that's only played the final version, this made me so uncomfortable. That "familiar but Wrong" feeling was so strong with this video
  • @obiequack4490
    I used to play Subnautica in the 2016 early access era! Also, I'd like to thank you, because your videos have made me laugh during this hard time in my life. Thanks.
  • The game was definitely so much spookier back then, with not much life and just a deep empty ocean that version really gives me the chills
  • @pizzalemon3454
    Early acess games are always so cool to watch, especially after seeing the finished product and comparing what changed and what didnt.
  • @vaibhavkrkm
    9:18 Feels little bit like Giant Sand Castles! 9:52 Also, this model of Salt is actually even in the current build, well only when we collect it from the Water Filtration Machine!
  • Ah, the early days. Back when the water looked like Ice, and all of the animals looked lifeless. Nice job Bacon. You keep it up man.
  • @Lusitania17
    9:58 "The spawns of satan already existed back then." This one really got me lol
  • @TMORAF
    It's so fascinating to see that the most of the graphics including the art style, textures, resources, the crashed Aroura, the creatures and more were present back in these early build. Old Subnautica footage is very rare from what I've seen.
  • @Jaxonbass
    It’s weird to think I was playing Subnautica before the guy who taught me 99% of the lore of this game was
  • @KarlismiSN
    Gotta appreciate how we went from this to the amazing game that we have now. I'm so glad that Subnautica ever came to be as an idea, and from such a talented group such as UWE.
  • @TheFos88
    This feels like a straight fever dream or bad shroom trip after binging current day Subnautica for a week with no sleep.
  • @Ad-fu6tj
    So much nostalgia from times when this game was early access... I wish there was way to return to my first gameplay.
  • @redshirt5126
    I never played early access but I remember watching all of Jacksepticeyes playthroughs back in the day and that's what first got me hooked to Subnautica. It's so nostalgic looking back on it now.
  • @user-golos
    God, I remember binge watching all of draegasts, jacksepticeye's and IGN's subnautica videos during 2014-2016, especially remembering when every event was being tested and developed with so much theories and specultuation of the lore. those were the good times.
  • Id love to see more videos of this kind! Especially of earlier versions of lava zones and lost river. Theres something so strange about the wide open expanses in those caves
  • The juxtaposition of how it looks now when compared to early release is crazy. They did SO MUCH to the game, the Grand Reef wasn't even a thing, reminds me of going back to old 1.0 version of the Forest and realizing how little was in the game, no Sinkhole one small cave system, 2 house options and 2 types of cannibals.
  • @JustLetMeUseNPC
    I remember playing an Early access build of Subnautica, and I just messed around with the teraforming tool (or whatever it was called).
  • @ECcR0
    I remember these versions extremely well.. it kinda makes me nostalgic to witness entire development of this game. 9:28 ahaha yeah I used to dig sand and store stuff in it back then I also remember terraformer and "blueprint scanner thingy" lol they were weird
