I Played the ORIGINAL (2014) EARLY-ACCESS Subnautica Build and it was SO CURSED! 

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

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

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.

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!

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

Early acess games are always so cool to watch, especially after seeing the finished product and comparing what changed and what didnt.

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.

9:58 "The spawns of satan already existed back then." This one really got me lol

This feels like a straight fever dream or bad shroom trip after binging current day Subnautica for a week with no sleep.

It’s weird to think I was playing Subnautica before the guy who taught me 99% of the lore of this game was

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.

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.

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

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.

So much nostalgia from times when this game was early access... I wish there was way to return to my first gameplay.

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.

I remember playing an Early access build of Subnautica, and I just messed around with the teraforming tool (or whatever it was called).

Holy cow that's cool. I only discovered Subnautica well after its final release, so seeing all this early stuff is WILD! I kind of love the world walls!

This is actually pretty cool because it shows you how the graphics have really developed and the gameplay has too. It’s actually cool to see, have a nice day Bacon

Oh my god we’ve come so far! I only found out about subnautica/ wanted to play it when the full game came out, loving this content bacon!

Let’s go another video, you are definitely my favorite Subnatica RU-vidr, and maybe favorite RU-vidr in general

Been watching you for awhile, back in the very start of your subnautica series! sure brings back memories :D

I remember this. Back then, it was the most magical thing I has ever seen, and I fell in love with it immediately. Its amazing to see how far its come. Even today, its still my favourite game ever. Well done Unknown Worlds. Ye turner goodness into greatness

Oh man, this is crazy nostalgic for me! Definitely watching the whole playlist because early video game content is so damn rad imo and I was even around for Subnautica's early days.

I remember the good old memories of not having the game myself but watching Jacksepticeye play the early access. I had no idea there was a full release until I rediscovered it through his channel, that’s when I bought the game for myself and really started getting immersed into the world.

Wow you just unlocked a whole load of middle school memories. I remember seeing the walls in the far lands in one of IGPs videos and it terrified me so much as a kid

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

That brings back some old memories. It was 2017 when I first heard about Subnautica. And now, after 4 years after first game relese, we're waiting for another sequel. Time goes by so fast...

I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a while. It’s great.

Haven’t seen you in a while. Good to be back

I had no idea it was made in 2014! 8 years ago. It's really come far through these years.

I never get more happy when I see you uppload. You are so underrated. Would love some more Below Zero modded and Subnautica modded content as well.

I love the music that plays when we enter the far lands

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.

Cool video, it’s interesting to see the difference between versions

I used to watch these on an old YT account, so glad I found this channel again

I'm so excited if you do make another early acces video! I've always heard about that hole to the lava zone and can't find anything about it online so I would really love to see it please!

Yess thank you for making this a video the older version of subnautica is so unnerving

Oh yay! I’ve been waiting for something like this.

LOOOOVE ur videos, they just make me feel good:) makes my day man🔥

Love your content bro Your voice just feels so good to listen

Hello Bacon, love your vids! Keep going!

Truly amazing

I loved the old Erie music that subnautica had back then it just added to the feeling of like you're being watched or something from the deeper darker parts of the ocean.

Man... the feels I get are so nostalgic and good! As well as the memories! I played the game a bit here and there between 2014 and 2018, more for exploring, building, fooling around and enjoying the scenery. Recently I started watching some videos on modern Subnaitica, which wowed A LOT with how much progress, but seeing how it started, how it used to be... It brings me faith and believe in developers! Not the big AAA studios, but the small ones, that continue working on their projects long after their first public release. It show true passion and dedication, not just a money-grab project (like many AAA are...) I get the same feels with No Man's Sky, an early disaster, but a very mature and respectable game now!!! I wounder how Elite: Dangerous is doing, I'll check it out when I get to have free time again.

Love your content! Keep going :)

Love the videos keep it up man :)

Wow, the game has changed tremendously!!! Good video (as always)

Haven't watched you in a long time but still making bangers

It’s crazy for me to see this. I first heard of this game about a month ago.. bought it right away and started the game and I fell in love with it right away. I’m halfway through it now and I’m taking it slow and enjoying it. Zero below is down loaded and ready for wenn I’m done with SN🤘🏻

i love these gaming history videos :)

Yes please continue this. It was very interesting!

watching this gave me less of a liminal/backrooms feel and more of a nostalgic one tbh! i was just a preteen when subnautica got popular on youtube and i would watch gameplay religiously everyday after school. seeing the weird textures, missing particles, janky controls, it all takes me back. good times. also "that controls... absolutely horrendously 🥰" made me laugh so hard, that's the peak beta subnautica experience right there

I hope somebody makes a full transfused mod so we can see what it would have been like in the base game. I love your vids can't wait to see what's next

I remember getting this version of this game back when it first went into early access, such a different experience to what the end game was

That opening narration was actually pretty cool I wish they kept that in

Yes more of this. That twisty bridges thing sounds interesting. I got into the game much later so Earlier access stuff is basically unknown to me. I did know there was an early access, but what it was like and what sort of stuff was ounce in it that isn't anymore would be very interesting.

oh yeah, I remember that! the mushroom tree biome used to destroy the game since each plate was a whole bunch of fragments glued together, & they'd break apart into pieces if you bumped them with your vehicle - but all of the models were still there

Man this takes me back

Why are all the small youtubers always the best ones

To be honest, back in 2014 it was actually a good game with good graphics

You know this game is amazing imagine a movie that would be really cool

i started around 2015-2016 and this is super nostalgic

It is gonna be fascinating to see how it was in the early access till it was fully released

Always great to revisit old versions of game. Like the forest, in the old versions I appreciate the guaranteed one-shot kill if you hit a certain part. (Mostly with a ranged weapon)

Gosh I loved it, i really wanna know everything that was in their minds back then and how it evolved

Getting Jack playing Subnautica memories..

OH GOD THE NOSTALGIA!!!!!!! I oddly miss old Subnautica

I still have a save of around mid early access where you could put solar panels on the Cyclops. iirc It actually still charges in the current version of the game. Fun times. Ow, and end of early access I got to the lava zone, and found a base in the middle of nowhere. Took me a bit to realize it was my own base. One that I placed there like a year before when you had the terrain deformation tool and I dug a tunnel straight down from the safe shallows into a dark empty cave.

This is so scary, everything is so bare and its just sand. It all looks like the dunes, i am expecting my boy the reaper to come out of nowhere (:

Its a shame this didn't get more views. This is an awesome watch to see where it all began

Ngl better than I expected

Really enjoyed watching. Subnautica is an amazing game 💯

I used to watch WeaselZone play this every morning back when I was in 8th/9th grade in 2014. So much has changed.

Ah the memories. I remember when most items when you dropped them and crafted them were just BLOCKS

The spookiest part was you mentioning the existence of this "void" place as if its a thing every Subnatica player knows, yet, I don't, so is like "Is there an unholy bottomless pit in my game that I'm blissfully unaware of"

Thank you for this, my sister is getting surgery tomorrow, and I'm really worried for her. This video took my mind off of it and really helped me with my nerves.

Wow, the early access of Subnautica looks so different, it is exciting to see what we have now After 4 years of development. I bet the game was still good back then as good as it is today

i remember only starting the game around the time the ghost leviathan came out, it was a treat to experience it then

Hey love your vid’s, I was wondering how did you get this version?

My man literally traveled back in time for memories

this gave me some real nostalgia

I really enjoyed this video though it’s very interesting to see what this game used to look like. I’m a new subnatica fan

The Last Bacon becoming uncanny as He descends into the Old Subnautica depths

Well this is just CRISPY!!! And another CRISPY thing is that im in Paris right now. So i can enjoy this CRISPY video while dying from the heat here.

5:35 yeah no, aci found someone who managed to get that early access map into the current version of the game, and if seems as if that area was like a testing ground for both the koosh zone, and the mushroom forest also, the aurora back then was nothing but a jpeg slapped onto the background, and the reapers we all know and love today were only added in a later update, one that happened after the aurora's first revamp

So much nostalgia!

if you could get your hands on the subnautica build with the old lava zone entrance under the aurora, thousands would watch it XD

1:40 THATS THE EXACT SAME LIFEPOD MODEL AS OBE OF THE ORIGINAL CINEMATIC TRAILERS

When it first hit steam I got it and it was very early access, use to you could put the small storage boxes inside on the floor of the escape pod really miss that. We also could terraform the ground with a terraform tool but that was removed to. lots of changes some I didn't like, others were great improvements.

I've actually been following Subnautica almost since the very beginning when FRANKIEonPC did his three video showcase of it. He got eaten by a Reaper at the end, which set the tone of this game for me pretty early. Looking back now I realize he exhausted all of the content that was in the game up to that point, which was a common trend for RU-vidrs back then before the updates.

damn, this takes me back.. i adore the old versions of the game but do love the finished product even more. fdsdffds

It's crazy to see subnautixa went from this to a third game coming to the series

I played the early access. This brings Back memories.

I remember when quartz used to be really bright, to the point where during the night it stuck out like sore thumb, and that made quartz easy to get

Honestly Subnautica is such an amazing underrated game i wish more people would play it

I remember watching youtubers play old subnautica, i also remember since 2020, watching videos of The last bacon (the youtuber which is in my top 1 youtubers).

i found myself on a subnautica question from 2015, and they were talking about warper dna being used in end game teleporters

What's crazy is when we first seen this early access game we were astounded😂
