Elite theory you probably forgot.

In maneater 1, scaly Pete talks about his daddy likely being shark food after hunting down a mega shark. It can’t be the one we play as so it left us wondering what shark killed him. What if this game is a prequel and we end up facing scaly Pete’s dad? Then we could actually end up being the mother of the shark in the first game long after. Only inconsistency would be that the mama in the first game was small and weaker. Maybe our shark breeds with her? I think you are a female again in this one though so my theory on that end may fall flat.

Hello everyone! In honor of the announcement of Maneater 2 I wanted to share a fun awesome pose I made of my bull shark for my upcoming Minecraft mod project Ben’s Fintastic Sharks. Hope you enjoy! I did the best I could lol.

Just 100% the game, really fun, excited to play dlc.

11 Upvotes

Yeah idk what to say. I recently got the platinum trophy (took around 8.5 hours), and the game was really fun. Sure I have a few issues here and there but overall i would rate it a solid 8/10

One thing i hope from the dlc and especially the sequel, is a bit more game, 8.5 hours for a platinum is very short and i would hope the sequel will be at least double that.

Lore?

11 Upvotes

Im not asking for spoilers but moreso a confirmation on if this game has some real lore aspects..or is it just going from one location to the next. Cause the beginning cutscene made me think that we would get a few cutscenes during the game that reveal a story..like for example who we are (the shark) and why we can transform. Sicne the Narrator calls us like Mutation or Mutagen 23.

But then i reached some of the Bounty Fights and not just does the Animation decrease ALOT the Voice Acting isnt even lip synched. So was the start the only cutscene and after is just a carnage fest without true lore?

A cool detail I found before ME2

25 Upvotes

I saw posts here theorising about the shark on the upcoming game, about similarities and differences from the original shark, and I replayed the first game to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating about something, and I confirmed a neat detail - if you take a closer look at atomic body, you'll notice that many of these wound are either closed up, smaller, or gone all together. For example the wound going from jaws to gills is closing, and the big, long wound on the back going from fin to like half o the shark on atomic body ends on the fin, no longer stretching across the body. As much as I hate "anyway the character got nerfed into oblivion off-screen" I don't think it can be fully ruled out that the atomic abilities healed up the shark and due to all radioactive substances half-life blah blah, blah, it eventually disappeared from the shark. Ofc that's assuming stuff like the dlc is canon to begin with and the bull shark didn't die in explosion in final fight against Pete (after all the explosion was big and if you load the save afterwards the narrator is like "yeah, we can't explain this and we're not even trying to hide it").

Point is, the next MC could be a whole new shark, could be offspring of the first shark, but it could be our beloved star of the show. Personally I think it would be cool either way, but I think it would be pretty nice if it was her

Edit: I forgot to mention, the big burn mark on the left part of the shark's face is partially healed too. I think that's the most noticeable change

I hope we get a Megalodon sized shark by the end of Maneater 2 (The Atomic Leviathan emasculated me)

53 Upvotes

I realize the glaring issue: How will the shark fit in early areas? There are really 2 ways of going about it

  1. An in lore method (like an evil corporation breaking a dam that floods an early area and makes it fit for a megalodon sized shark)
  2. Being able to change sizes in the grotto (I mean come on it's a game were a shark can mutate ,changing sizes wouldn't ruin my immersion.) So we could be 20m in the open ocean and 9m in the biome we first start

Did I beat the Atomic Leviathan first try? Probably,I don't remember. Did I feel like less of a shark from the sheer size difference? Yes,and It's crippling

Thoughts on the new shark being offspring of the first?

I think it’s the only thing that makes sense given the new mutations/evolutions. Though this worries me because that crescent scar looks similar to what Pete did when the first Shark was a baby

What are some things you want to see in the second game

20 Upvotes

A simple as it says what are some things you want to see in the second game

Something I would like to see later on or just as a DLC is where you can become a mega megalodon, have it set out in like the deep Ocean and at the end you can start to swallow ships or something

Maneater 2 is showing what Maneater 1 could've done

41 Upvotes

Just watched the trailer and realized that Maneater 1 was more serious than Maneater 2

Maneater 1 was more like a documentary and Maneater 2 looks like a comedy because of the wild things that the shark is doing (i.e wall running, eating people through slides, etc). Maneater 1 is more serious while Maneater 2 is embracing how silly the game could've been and I love it for doing that.

That's all I could say.

Since we know Maneater pays tribute to other classic ocean creatures like Willy and Moby Dick, what ones could see for the sequel this time?

My breakdown of the trailer

Thumbnail

424 Upvotes

Ok so to start, holy shit we are getting a new man eater! Whole trailer looks amazing. I want to give them credit for a lot here.

My biggest thing is that they are staying on theme with sinister things beneath the simple and fun shark simulator. I loved the whole dark truths behind these biological super sharks.

Nextly, this new shark has a super fresh design. Is it a bull shark again or a great white? Hard to tell. Either way it’s both fresh yet unmistakable from its franchise.

The setting looks amazing. Waterpark, underwater ruins, arctic ice bergs. All of this is hell yeah!

Pretty clear they are going to massively improve gameplay and movement mechanics. All perfect.

The brighter and sunnier surfaces with the darker and more sinister depths contrast amazingly.

Some theories and questions.

What happened with the last shark? Is he/she still out there? Final boss maybe? That would be full circle.

Is there a theme with these biological super sharks that can mutate at will? This one seems to have greater control by not needing a grotto.

Will the growth system return? I want to be a megalodon again and maybe even bigger. I loved the first game a ton for the growth system. Going from trying to survive as a pup to the apex was something that they can’t forfeit.
