A sequel to Sharkbite has been released. I’m kind of late though…
Play the game here:
Some notable changes include:
Graphics overhaul (Self-Explanatory)
Simplistic building system (Building is full of presets, the “body / hull” of the boat cannot be customized and you can only place stuff on it. Turrets from stuff like SB1 Military Boat still exist within, and there are [TO BE ADDED] “upgrades”, defenses / fortifications, and Heavy Turrets you can place on your boat.)
Shark gameplay mini-rework (Third person instead of first person, now has abilities which are manually activated and has a CD. Human detector is still flawed like in SB1.)
Rework of Survivor’s timer win condition (Survivors now need to flee to a helicopter to win, killing the shark can still be done to win.)
Various renames and remodels (Ex: SB1 Spectre → SB2 Marlin, SB1 Mosasaurus → SB2 Killer Whale Orca [kinda???]), and some boats were turned into a custom boat hull (Ex: SB1 Destroyer → SB2 Frigate Warship, SB1 Hovercraft → SB2 Hovercraft [Hull])
Certain glitch patches (Ex: Ducky Ring glitch patch [Fix = Remove Ducky Ring], Corner camp to counter Hammerhead [Fix = Arena is now a circle instead of a square])
Love the new map though it’s super laggy. I honestly have no idea how to feel about the ship building, I wish you could use the hulls from the normal shop ships and vice versa, seems strange having them separate but they can do what they want I suppose. I’m still not used to the third person camera shark, but the orca being added is definitely a W in my opinion since it’s my favorite sea animal.
look, its nice. i love how fluent the guns feel now
however, it is in beta. game needs quite a few fixes (duh). here are my opinions (as a previous sharkbite 1 sweatlord);
default gun too good needs nerf
shark is stupid hard to do anything with. no cursor and hitting people is extremely difficult
why couldnt the devs just revamp the original game? the only differences sharkbite 2 has over sharkbite 1 is a graphical overhaul, boat builder and a small rework of guns and shark. they could have just updated sharkbite 1
Its aight, its still pretty much sharkbite, same premise and everything. I like the boat builder kind of but feels like it is missing stuff, even if it isn’t complete just doesn’t feel fun or intresting to use imo
6.5/10 still the same thing, have fun for like 30 minutes, get bored , i’d still only reccomend with friends
The map, ui, and textures look good but there are so much flaws in this game:
The starter gun is 100% accurate and deals like 15 damage which is honestly a lot, should be nerfed to 5 or at least make the guns have lower how accurate the gun is. (You can literally click the shark with a gun and you get a free hit)
The guns have no collision, yeah, these guns can go through boats making the shark easy to kill
The shark its self is really hard to win with because of the new controls and the hitbox is ruined, you have to use the sharks mouth and it doesn’t work against people jumping all over the surface or even laggy people so you’re gonna die
The optimization is really bad
Hella easy to obtain the strongest guns or shark, you just gotta do the game a couple of times and not die because you get 100 each round. (I obtained the golden duck in like 30 minutes because of how broken the shark was)
In my opinion, this is what they should do:
Nerf the starter gun to make it at least do 5- 10 damage and decrease how accurate the gun is because the shot is instant and you get a free hit if you click the shark whenever you can see him and tap/click him.
Make the shark have a larger hitbox and don’t make it so the player can literally stand on your back
Decrease the amount of teeth shards you get, only obtain the 100 amount if you get 3rd - 1st place because everybody basically gets 100 if they survive which is honestly a lot and the items are easy to get
Slightly more content because all they changed was the UI, animation, building, and texture of everything but there isn’t any new content, thats an L and they pretty much missed a lot of things on released
Better optimization, this is what makes the shark so garbage because of how bad a server is (Depends on how laggy it is, I was in a server were the shark could NEVER win, I even hitbox’d somebody directly 17 times and he didn’t even die due to how laggy he was and how he was flying all over the place)
Give the shark 500+ (1500) more health because the shark is facing against like 17+ players, if the players are not that good and don’t know what to do. There problem.
Re-make the shark controls PLEASE
Option to be in first person shark mode?
If I were you, I’d just play the game for a bit and get golden boat because its limited (if you
re a collector), obtain a better weapon, and obtain a somewhat better shark then just leave the game until its better because the game is irritating with shark and easy to win as a player and wait for the game to get better. Sharkbite 1 is better than this.
here are my full thoughts on it:
you need some skill to play the shark in order to win, as the default gun does way too much damage and the fucking ducky boat is faster than you.
strategy is to go straight down then up onto slower boats, boost to faster boats and destroy their motor.
PROS:
faster shark teeth earning, makes players think they can get things faster (they dont)
free private servers - good way to get ez shark teeth with an alt (though the rates are decreased you still get a lot faster)
new graphics - cool
boat building - fun though expensive (hoverboat with turret hehe)
guns go through boat - this was really annoying in sb 1 as you cant hit the shark very often unless using green jetski or a turret
CONS:
laggy af
the shark cant go above water unless u go up at an angle - you literally cant get jumping players unless you go straight up
boats are expensive - they really are (sharks are the cheapest for some reason)
sharks hitbox literally a speck - you have to hit them straight on with mouth
you can see really far under water which allows for easier hits on the shark. either make it harder to see or buff the shark.
im not listing the bugs here as they dont affect the game too much (the most annoying one is the viking boat flinging everywhere when you touch it and the occasional teleporting into the void)
, i’d still only reccomend with friends
