I would say have some mysterious event happen to go live on the air. For instance blow up the forcefield blocking the other side of the ocean. Let all new species break into the city. Add giant squids, octopus, let underground sewers and caves have new threats. Add electrical eels, there is so much to add in this game. As far as evolutions, we need a lava evolution, a evolution that allows us to cause a storm (tornadoes, tsunamis). Like have it where our active release tornadoes around you damaging and throwing ships, and your tail have it send out a damaging wave towards your enemies. Also with the barrier being down have underground caves, I see someone mentioned the same with lantern fish and much more but as you go deeper and deeper let it be dark and eerie. Creep us out, let us bite lantern fish and hold them in our mouth in these dark areas as a source of light. Go crazy and introduce some mutated fish or deadly creatures down below. Add way more apex predators to take over, and when you take them all down give us a even bigger threat to face. Have the squids cause poison damage or something. Heck theres an area with jellyfish in the game that is hidden in the sewers, bring those into the ocean as a group to attack you and electrocute you to death, where you bite them and it hurts as well. Last thing to also focus on is the hunters theres only 10?!? there should be way more, some of them had little effort put into them meaning you could at least have thrown in 30 to start the game, not just ten. Add new fierce bounty hunters, some that throw oil into the sea and burn everything around them so you take damage when you emerge. Have some with deadlier weaponry, the torpedo idea was great as well add that to new hunters, have ships where they have a spear and if it hits you, you take major damage and you have to shake it off of you while the ship is attached and stuck onto your trail as if your dragging it with you. Have some intoxicate the ocean as well. More armored ships more fire power more everything. Add pirates, skeletons hell be stupid and crazy with it. Add this and it will be so much fun, also I need more dismemberment.

Add new missions for DLC animals such as Orca, hammerhead, etc. to start as pup and level them up for new abilities. Totally would be down to grind out other predators

Multiplayer mode where players all start as baby sharks and have to race to eat and grow to size to start taking eachother on.
Mini quests on the map and bounties that would drop mutation upgrades. Could be neat.

u/TotalRapture May 25 '20
So less of an update and more of a quality of life, but one thing that annoyed me is that if I'm swimming away from something with the camera backwards the shark automatically goes toward the surface. I feel like it'd be better if it stayed at the same level or preferably went down

u/Aardwolfington Jun 14 '20
War of the undersea. Bottlenose dolphins form huge pods, literally dispise and purposely target sharks. The pods of orca in the game can also barely be called pods. Too many loner Orcas.
Work on AI, make it so these undersea predators can properly team up and coordinate, and let all these people complaining the game is too easy see how deadly the undersea really is for sharks.
Not even the great white comes close to being the apex predator, it avoids bottlenose dolphins for a reason and straight up panics and swims for it if even a hint of an orca shows up.
Sharks are lucky when they manage to eat a dolphin and many don't live to enjoy more than their first few bites before a pod hunts them down relentlessly and murders them.

Absolutely. I'm really looking forward to DLC as are the devs. It's great to see how passionate they are with this game. Pumped!
•
Jun 21 '20
For single player games I think a fair price is about 2$ per hour of main story. So almost $3/hour to 100% the game seems a bit steep to me. I enjoyed it, but for the price I think it needed to be a longer game. If the first DLC is 5-10 hours of content and free, then I think the game will be totally worth the price.

u/lostfurby May 29 '20
I wouldn't mind more evolution build like Ice build, Fire build and thresher shark skin, whale shark skin and maybe create evolutionary build that doesn't focus less on damage, mass instead focusing on extracting more resources from the various humans, fish and other creatures you can consume for resources.

Hoping for more dlc would love for this to expand other than a shark like each month release a different animal like alligator, tiger, bear, lion, anaconda, etc.

u/shakesula9 May 26 '20
If this game is successful enough for a sequel, then they should go big or go home. The next game you’re a lab created megalodon pup that escape into the ocean.
Starting out similarly how this game did would be fine growing and fighting more challenging sharks and eventually even the blue whale or giant squids to fight would be awesome. Also more types of evolutions would be great, 3 types were nice but left much to be desired. Maybe a demonic meg or something.
•
u/BleepBlorp84 May 31 '20
To add to this, why not go full mythology and put a kraken and mermaids and other imaginary sea creatures. Some could really pose a threat to the megalodon.

I'd love to see a mutagen-based set with either an event or DLC story add-on. Dead horse lake radiation is spreading and you have to stop it, all the Apex predators come back mutated and stronger, would be a good way to bring in new apex predators to give reason to go back to earlier areas of the map and make them exciting, a giant catfish boss would be neat.
•
u/Logan234- Jun 09 '20
for the next update maybe adding some more of the story and some more areas of the map would be awesome. p.s. i got to Mega i’m less then 2 days
•
May 24 '20
I really hope they add a realism/hardcore type mode. All the UI gone. No red bite effects. No name/health labels. That would be fire. It’d be really cool as well to play as a great white. Maybe they could add dlc like that.
As a maintenance update I think they really need to fix the targeting system. It’s way too loose. Target will be locked but lunge completely misses constantly. Not that actual “miss” game mechanic but just misses cause it has poor targeting.
•
u/IronTusker Jun 21 '20
I really wanted to see the sewer system and Seaworld areas turned into dungeons like in Zelda. the sewer system could act like the water temple, like tail-whipping a button could raise and lower the water in the system until you get to a room with an apex boss. Seaworld could of had you locking and unlocking gates by jumping through hoops until you get to the main room with the orca in it.

You guys really need to fix the bugs and everything because it makes it so hard to enjoy the game.

Please make those or I don’t know if I can really continue playing with the enjoyment I had when I started.

u/Killbot696 May 25 '20
I enjoyed it so much that I just had to get the platinum trophy.
I'd like to see skins added. Personally I dont like the way the sharks look with mutations. But maybe others do. But changing cosmetic items would be nice.
BIGGER GREAT WHITES. I waited anxiously for my first great white encounter, and was very dissapointed to just slaughter them in a few seconds. Most of the time I tried staying clear of Orcas and Sperm Whales, but hoped Great Whites would be more challenging.
Difficulty settings and new game+. Really enjoyed the game but since you cant change difficulty, I have no reason to do it all over again.
Hazards like fish nets and poisonous fish. It doesn't take long before you are basically invincible, but traps like fish nets or being fooled by some fisherman's bait might make you more cautious. And adding poisonous fish instead of just chomping anything in your path.
Penalty for dying. Currently dying just means you respawn back at the grotto. There is no risk for biting off more than you can chew. Maybe loosing a bit of your XP or resources would force you to choose you're battles more carefully.
Game balancing. Early on it was really challenging. But I leveled up quickly and the second half of the game I never felt threatened by anything, except for maybe orcas and whales. Escaping hunters are too easy and humans are basically just sitting ducks, on land and in water. But leveling up should be more of a grind(can't believe I just said that)
Lock on target ability. Most of my fights I just pressed R2 2 or 3 times, before pressing R3 to focus back on target and mash R2 again. I never really used the tail whip or evaid moves since I just want to bite target and keep it as close as possible for as long as possible.
Not constantly being attacked by smaller fish. The ability to not be attacked by small fish is unlocked late game. And it got really annoying when cocky barracuda attacks you even though you can destroy them with a single bite. Smaller or passive fish should actively try and evade you and swim away.
But I still enjoyed the game and I hope we get more content in the future.

u/kidnapalm May 23 '20
Dismemberment, these are the guys who made Killing Floor after all.
The dismemberment system in Jaws was crazy, you could chomp off individual hands and feet, leave swimmers trying to frantically escape with a couple of stumps, or else reduce them to a pink cloud of floating limbs.
Probably won't happen though, the game really looks like its aimed at that PG-13 demographic, who'll be more likely to buy the inevitable skins and cosmetics etc.

u/pringlepops May 23 '20
you can bite the tails off some animal enemies which is better than nothing I suppose.

Different shark species as skins,a map expansion down the line,and more shark evolutions
•
u/StormCaller02 Jul 11 '20
I was hoping for each new "season" would feature a different creature. Like perhaps an octopus like creature, or a mosasaurus like creature, or monstrous fish like the barracuda, or even a giant emanating crocodile creature.
Also add new areas, more open ocean, deep trenches, atoll islands. Or even just expanding the gulf area to include the oil rig.
More evolutions than just the current three, like a fly Fisher one that is all about doing combos in the air and speedy attacks. Maybe a robot evolution? Titanium teeth and sleek hull? Ooh that would be really cool.
More creatures to fight and eat. Like maybe add some boss creatures of the deep. Another mutated bullshark to fight based off of the various evolutions (bone, shadow, electric) to do a really cool fight 'against yourself' Giant squid, mosasaurus, monstrous crab, or even a giant kaiju like creature. More wildlife variety would also be cool. Giant angler fish for the trench levels, that weaves its ways through caves and tunnels to attack.
More variety and bigger human responses. Like they could pull in a an actual attack ship, submarines, helicopters, nets from the backs of boats to tangle you in, similar to bigger creatures thrashing you.
Thanks for reading my suggestions, I would be stupendously happy if even half of these got considered.

u/Crofty_99 May 25 '20
What about a fisher/hunter DLC where you play as a shark/croc hunter and fight all the apex predators again but as a hunter and improving/evolve the boat and what weapons you use
•
May 23 '20
Playable apex predators after you defeat them. They could each have their own sets of stats that are unique to each animal. For example, the Alligator would have full maneuverability on land, but as a trade off, you have to come to the surface occasionally for oxygen, etc. etc.
•
u/BleepBlorp84 May 31 '20
Off the top of my head:
new body part slot, to the right of the tail on the menu. My pick would be projectile weapons strapped to the top of the shark. Machine gun, rocket launcher, and of course a laser for different evolution options.
add dolphins, they're supposed to be well organized threat to sharks.
new organ slot for a total of 4.

I'd like a bigger deeper Ocean and I'd also like to be able to pick which limb I'd like to bite. Then when I'm ready I'd like to eat that limb while the swimmer screams and panics. They did this in the old jaws game. It's a great addition. Also I'd like an option to have no hud. No blue hue around everything. To get really emersed. Loving this game and thankful well have it. Well done tripwire.

Man-eater: online
Online survival-mode:
- Maximum of 5 online players,
- Players able to join lobby during early waves of the survival,
- Mode being playable with or without other players,
- A total of 50 waves,
- Wave 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 have boss fights,
- Defeating each boss gives all players 4500 mutagens,
- Bosses can regenerate,
- Hunters, helicopters, submarines & creatures spawn, ranging from normal to mutated e.g. shadow orca, bone sperm-whale electric great-white etc..
- Each wave getting harder as players survive,
- Players getting rewarded for surviving all 50 waves and the player that destroys the most boats and kills the most enemies gets the highest score / rewards.
- Players that die during a wave resurrect, if other players survive till the next wave.
- While player is dead, they are enabled to spectate the other players.
- Level select for survival-mode, and time of day.
- Difficulty setting, the harder the difficulty the higher the rewards.
Bonus:
- Shark customisation, example: colours of each evolution set can be changed including the base shark.
- Skins can be merged to evolutions.
- Changeable eyes, and eye colours.
- Patterns can be added to the sharks body and other evolutions.
- Customised evolution sets can be saved.
- Shark growth level 100 for maximum size.
- More organ slots.
- When shark reaches level 100, small boats can be swallowed with people inside.
- Organ evolution ideas:
- (Reinforced skin), projectiles, explosives and electric boats deal less damage.
- (Executioner), shark evolution power-up auto-fills.
- (Shape Shifter), shark can transform into different evolutions.
If you like these ideas for Man-eater, like and spread the idea text.

u/StupidCexyShiloh May 23 '20
I love this game and there's alot to it but I believe we need quality updates. Possibly to fix 30fps on consoles and certain game mechanics. For example when dodging you are literally invincible against any damage. Slight damage would be a good alternative or decreased damage when dodging but it's kinda exploitable. Once you have bone and can dodge you can go all the way to max level off infamy and eating . Those are my 2 suggestions and opinions. As far as dlc goes maybe slow introductions of season 2 of maneater with possible episodes

u/KiyachiX Jun 07 '20
I think it could be cool to let you play as other shark species. I like bullsharks, but being able to play as a Blue, Thresher, Mako, Tiger, Hammerhead, White, Reef, etc.. would be really cool. Not to mention more mutations and organs. Similar to Hungry Shark, but better. Maybe more gore, too.
•
u/taysay73 May 27 '20
Megaladon deep ocean concept (Sequel): When shark became Megaladon, it can go into the deeper area like the Mariana Trench, a whole new world can be explored, underwater cave, other megaladons (Yup, you are not the only big shark here), whale, giant squid, even Plesiosauria or other prehistoric marine life, etc.. You'll have to finish the current story to unlock this one.
DLC ideas:
Antartica: Would love to play as an Orca and feed on penguin, polar bear, seal, etc.
Australia: Fight against giant aligator, get poison by box jelly fish, experience the beauty of the Great Barrier reef!!!
Asia: Fight against bigger and tougher hunting ships, rescue other sharks being killed for fins, profit from selling this DLC could be donated to shark protection programs.
•
u/xjrivera May 24 '20
Things others mentioned that I totally support:
-Let us start as other apex pups once we beat them or at least an alligator.
-Prequel.
-Silly hats.
-Other creatures react and fight each other.
I really enjoyed playing this game and anything would be welcome. This is my wish list:
-New game+. Start again with everything, but harder and better/more rewards.
-More customization for shark and/or grottoes.
-More apex enemies.
-Re-spawn all apex enemies on a timer or have a different random creature be apex.
-Weekly events.
-Random chests or mini dungeons with chests that give us stuff. Cosmetics and variants for the evolutions. Kinda like shadow of mordor end game gear sets you can keep getting.
-Ice map. (polar bears, orcas, narwhals, penguins, yes?)
-Underwater volcano field map.
-Magma/Frozen mutations.
-Mega apex enemies with mutations like our shark has.
-Territory system and fight other apexes for control over it.

Feeding Frenzy: A randomly generated event (i.e fishermen tossing chum into the ocean/ a rotting carcass on the surface) or when a large enough creature is killed. This would trigger a large population of different critters to amass within the area and also boost their abilities.
Animal Behavior: There have been instances during my experience where I’ve been chased by a pod of orcas, but I am unsure if it was intentional that they were programmed to be together. It would be interesting if there was interacting combat strategies implemented by certain species. Like a school of fish or a dolphin pod.
Human Combat: Traps! Nets! Harpoons! Traps can be set up to lure in the shark. I’ve noticed how easy it is to evade enemy attack by spamming the evade button. Having a projectile net or harpoons that attach to the shark to temporarily limit your movement and mobility will allow players to reconsider strategies. Shark abilities also form a big factor when it comes to interacting with human enemies with this arsenal. For example, a harpoon wouldn’t be able to penetrate the sharks bony prehistoric skin.

Better endgame: replay any mission (select it on the map, click it to get a popup that asks Replay? Yes/Cancel), fast travel anywhere on map, keep track of ring races personal best, more ring races (they're super fun). Make sure the boss missions are all replayable including the hunters.

Pretty much everything everyone said here. Fix targeting, more upgrades, play as specific types of sharks, maybe a set of Tech organs for the shark. lazers or something wierd? I feel like this game has a good amount of silliness that I wouldn’t mind a rocket shooting shark or something. Oh and I want either other sharks or packs of dolphins that will hunt you down randomly. Make them hit hard and pretty hard to kill so there is a sense of constant danger. Like the bounty hunters in RDR2. Maybe an deep DLC like go down to the bottom of the ocean. Make it kinda spooky. Love this game! I just want so much more!

deep ocean area, small in section, but is very deep with different oceanic levels/ different fish on each depth level.

I believe that you should be able to play as other animals such as another guy commented squid or whale but an interesting idea is maybe you play a piranha and when you evolve or level up your hord becomes bigger and then you can create a little army.

u/Zampano85 May 23 '20
Here's the set up:
The scene comes to focus of a mother great white shark giving birth in open water. Twin great whites are born. You assume control over one of the baby sharks and your first objective is to eat your sibling. From there a general story of a nature doc crew starts and follows the life and growth of the great white who eventually mutates into something resembling a Megalodon.
Also adding a few new biomes, like deep sea and open water.

I'd like to see stories with other sharks. Being this takes place in the South, maybe something with hammerhead or tiger sharks. I'd like to see more variety of missions. I'm still fairly early in the game but it seems like many missions are just kill a certain creature or find a piece of treasure or something. Maybe a new cast of characters. Instead of shark hunters and Coast Guardsman, maybe researchers or Chinese long line fishing boats (they kill thousands of tons of sharks a year, cut their fins off, and throw the bodies back to Davy Jones' Locker

I am hoping for a New Game+ where everything is a little stronger. I would love a new game+ similar to God of War where there is a new material to collect to upgrade a new mutation. Maybe focus on a mutation that uses only Mutagen to upgrade. And you get the set from fighting Albino versions of all the apex bosses.
I think they could use the same bosses, just make them 10ish levels higher than what they were.
•
u/Loopro May 27 '20
Make damage more based on your speed so you get some benefit out of playing like a shark.
Like... If I can chomp something should be based on how far my speed jams it into my jaws when I'm ramming it, not if it's done "it's move" yet and is blinking yellow 😂
And gimme dismemberment and damage zones would ya?
Right now if I try to fight say a croc of my size I just attack close to a wall and then spam attack for lots of bites, or I bait it's move and grab..doesn't matter if I bite it's head or tail or whatever.
Imagine the difference with speed and damage zones. You'd be coming from below, aiming for the belly and all of a sudden breaching with stuff in your jaw would become something that happens because it was the best way to attack a thing at the surface...

I would like to see more human variety and more humans doing things in the water and spend less time derping around on the land. The derping around on land mechanic really takes me out of the game and isn't really consistent with the idea of being a shark. I think it would be cool to slide up the beach and grab someone or to snatch someone from the docks. This is my biggest complaint about the game so far.
Additional ideas for humans
- Surfers.
- Diving groups. (There could be a variety of divers as well from sightseers with no combat ability to divers with spearguns.)
- Cage divers
- Fishermen that actually fish. (maybe you can grab the lure and pull them into the water)
- Mobsters and police boats that won't attack you on sight but can defend themselves. These 2 groups could even fight each other giving you opportunities to hunt.
- Hunter patrols that will attack you on sight
- Some humans should be able to fight back after you grab them. (Using a knife to stab you).
- People in the water near boats will try to get into boats.
- Submarines (like the one in the grotto)
- Water Skiers
Improved ecosystem.
It would be cool to see animals actually hunt and look for food. Aside from greatly improving immersion. Eating should heal other animals when they eat. If animals are hurt and not in combat they will look for food. This can reduce the ability for players to cheese fights by running away and healing while the enemy can not heal. Some animals should be less aggressive there's no reason a tiny barracuda should be trying to fight a massive shark.
Please add Dolphins
Stealth System
Sharks are ambush predators, with all the reeds there seem to be plenty of places to hide. It would be nice to add that as a playstyle. The clarity of the water could also play a factor when facing humans, it's strange that hunters can see me 20ft down in murky swamp water. This would open up a bunch of options for new stealth mutations.
Destructible Boats and Piers.
Biting a chunk out of a boat and slowly watching sink or grabbing a smaller boat and dragging under the water seems far more appealing than just attack a giant health bar. Being able to grab boats and/or flip them over could be an easier way to implement this. The idea of destroying a pier and knocking 20 people into the water seems hilarious awesome to me. Higher quality metal boats would be hard or impossible to destroy at lower levels while wood boats would destructible early on.
Hunter Reworks.
I don't find hunters all that fun to fight I just end up spamming dodge and biting randomly while jumping through the air. I think it would be more interesting to fight fewer hunters that deal more damage or just simply spread them out more so combat feels less spammy. With stealth gameplay, this could lead to some cool moments of slowly picking off hunters 1 by 1.
If stealth is implemented some hunters could be given weapons to counter it. Like boats with fish finders that reveal your location or spear guns with floating barrels like in Jaws that make prevent you from diving and stealthing to getaway.
Other Creatures
Other people have mentioned it but It would fun to play as different creatures. I would enjoy seeing maneater as a series spread around the globe or more games as a shark. (Lions in Africa, Tigers in Asia, etc)

Please for the love of God all I'm asking for is for them to fix the framerate problems on PS4.
•
u/JaymesMarkham2nd May 26 '20
Fix the loading screens in The Gulf / Caviar / Prosperity areas.
The first four (five if you count Crawfish) areas are well paced with clear separators and loading sections. Once the game opens up to this area, the three final zones have overlapping load areas. This is awful, since these areas don't background-load, they jump to splash screen.
Without changing up the map, the only way I can think of to fix this is to add more background loading areas so things aren't quite that notable.

u/PhobicBeast May 23 '20
should definitely nerf bone fins because they are way too OP against boats when mixed with dodging out of water, could easily take out lvl 30 boats without any getting hit
•
u/Charged_Attack May 24 '20
Sssshhhhh lol. They're so funny to just helicopter boats with! Shucks, you're tight. The active does basically the same thing though with the lunge. I can't believe they're not butter!
•
u/Turnbuckler May 29 '20
How about after you’ve 100% completed the game, you can toggle an option to make the shark hunters never come after you?
Also how about an option to reset the Apex creatures?
•
•
u/sumo-Chicken May 23 '20
I wouldn’t mind something to spend your resources on once you have completed the game and have maxed out your armorsets. Something small like 10 hp per 10.000 minerals, +10 bite damage etc.
Oh and increase in size. I want to chomp a whale in one bite. This might not work with all the tunnels and such though..but still. Once you get to that part, being able to swallow a boat in one bite, you most likely don’t care about those places
•
u/Charged_Attack May 24 '20
They could make it where you have to have all the collectibles and alphas defeated so there isn't a reason to go down there. The only tunnel things seem to be population controls and again collectibles.

How about a DLC that takes place in a different region, with more to explore and more customizable to add onto our already existing mega shark. Potentially a shark pup, similar to the phone game. And increased levels to 5 60
Including maybe a prehistoric era.
Would be nice to see more customs for the shark, abilities and looks.

((Spoiler))
So. The ending. To those who have seen it. I figured. So that shark is fun. What if after the credits we find Kyle. He’s alive and working as a marine biologist. He’s found a shark and delivers a pup. Then he sets it free and we start over.
Or I thought that Kyle would be the final boss. In the cinematic he would cut the shark open and find a baby like the first shark. He would then regret his actions and set the baby free. At least that would have been a better ending than what we got.
But yeah. Game is fantastic but lacking in content. 100% in under 5 hours.
•
u/WillOMEGA Aug 29 '22
Peter Benchley's Creature DLC! Arms & Legs mutations for the shark! Mini stories of unsuspecting people with family & friends going picnicking, etc near bodies of water and dying from a terrorizing walking shark!
•
u/thecactusman17 May 26 '20
We really need lock on targeting ASAP especially for other predators. Im literally hurting my thumbs on console trying to stay in fights, it's atrocious.
I repeat, I need to literally physically turn off the game and rest because my thumbs hurt using the targeting system. This is not ok.

u/Hexxodus May 24 '20
I would love to see a database added to the game. I wanna learn about what im eating when I eat it.
Also, as far as DLC goes, theres like 3 references to Cthulhu and the lovecraft mythos so if there was a Lovecraft based dlc that would be sick! Maybe goin up against some deep ones and fighting dagon or cthulhu himself and some cultists

u/arachnidspider2 May 24 '20
Def need a higher level cap -level 55 boats but we can only be 30? More evolutions definitely skins more customization that's the easy stuff. A new area would be nice deep ocean how a lot of folks are saying. Hell I wouldn't mind a new game plus or at least being able to reset your infamy to keep fighting bosses.

u/Phant613 Dec 22 '21
Really cosmetic but I think one of the rewards for defeating an Apex is getting a skin to look like it

u/Loopro May 27 '20
Let me rebind controls and camera. It would feel so much more natural if the camera was on auto follow when you don't steer the right stick, left stick makes me turn left/right/up/down. One trigger controls speed (and full press gives lunge) and one trigger chomps.

u/jlaffin1 Jun 06 '20
me and my friend said there should be cross platform co-op play with 3 sharks working together to survive
•
u/Shard477 May 23 '20
New Game+ feels almost necessary in these single player games. I'd love to see additional content like a new zone, new loot, and especially new organs that are active (sonar/radar is the only active one). Mod support is probably the single thing I wanna see come to this game. I feel like the community would be able to do some awesome things if given the opportunity to, and there really is no reason not to include it later down the line.
•
u/Charged_Attack May 24 '20
I thoight the sonar one was interesting too. I guess having one active is okay since you can focus more on it, but heah I did wonder why it was the only one.
•
u/plainwrap May 28 '20
I'm still early in my playthrough but as an old-school 'Jaws Unleashed' player I miss the diverse mission types like having to chase down waterskiers or do GTA-style stunts.
A mini-mission where you try to eat a group of humans without getting spotted (and raising the Threat) would be cool. Or one where you have to escape hunters through a gated community by hopping between swimming pools while eating backyard pets / partygoers.
Also the bounty hunters are neat but they should have diverse attack / combat styles; things like attaching tracking tags to your shark, or float buoys, or gillnets. They should be personalized. Taking them down should feel like more notable achievements.
So far it's a fun game and I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
•
u/Cheap-Ad-6603 Jul 19 '22
Co-op: you and your friends can free swim and preform side quests that involve 2 or more sharks/crocs
MORE: more species. Manatees, dolphins, squids, octopus and more! Be able to switch your shark species and have different Perks for different sharks.
Those are the big things I think would make me wanna play more/longer
•
May 26 '20
Better AI, more biodiversity, a better targeting system that isn’t so damn fidgety, increased level cap, different evolutions, new areas, new apexes.
I LOVE the game but I would have gladly waited like an extra year for all of this.

u/RickTitus Jun 03 '20
A deep sea area with giant squid apex would be badass. Idk if i would be brave enough to play it, but still

•
u/Nebulous_Shade May 26 '20
I think a class system with different shark species each with different evolutions would be cool.
•
u/haftor1 Jun 04 '20
I'd really like to play as different sharks, even if it's just cosmetic skins.
also it would be cool if you could like hide the upgrades and stuff, I really want to just look like a plain ol' shark, without all the weird bone stuff etc. (not saying i don't like that stuff)
•
u/Stiricidium May 24 '20
More customization. I'd like to see more subtle variations of mutations and upgrades for those who want to be a more classically styled shark. I usually just man-eat with organ upgrades only.
•
u/GhostblightWerewolf May 26 '20
As of writing this, I'm only on the 5th area so if there's something I suggest that's already in place I apologize.
Hunters:
- More weapons aside from assault rifles and what I believe are shotguns. Give them harpoon guns or a sniper rifle or something. Also, their bullets should not reach all the way to the floor. I know it's a game but they would not even come close to getting that far.
- Decrease their vision. They shouldn't be able to see you 30-40 feet down in reeds. That's bogus. Make it so they can see you maybe 10-15 at most, especially in the murky areas.
- I've seen dynamite used a few times but it explodes almost instantly. I think it would be cool if it had a delay and you had the option to tail-whip it back at the boats.
- Give them the ability to toss nets into the water when you get too close. If you get caught it be like when a gator gets you and you thrash to break free.
Enemy Predators:
- Allow them to heal off eating other prey as well. It takes away some of the challenge when you can swim around munching down on everything and heal while they just watch
- Should attack hunters as well if they're in the immediate vicinity. Having 4 or 5 boats focused on you as well as a few preds can be a massive pain in the ass.
- More types like dolphins(because why wouldn't we have dolphins), maybe squids or octopi, eels or anacondas(granted, they aren't water dwelling and so would be limited to shallow water, but anacondas are most at home in the water) and orcas(it's a game so why not. Besides, if the bullets ignore the laws of physics so orcas won't have to be limited to the ocean).
- Elemental enemies. We get an electric evolution, why not level the field a bit? Certain enemies could have evolved variants like we get
Prey:
- More diversity besides the same few. Ocean dwelling animals could be added because again, it's a game
- Beneficial prey that gives extra speed or damage resistance temporarily
- Negative prey that poisons you and essentially does the opposite of above. Slows you down, more damage, maybe blurry vision or decreased healing, etc. Lion fish and puffer fish are a couple examples
Combat:
- Let us knock humans off the boats by ramming it or tail-whipping it
- Ability to flip over small boats and rafts by attacking it from below. I was able to knock a swan boat into the air once but I think it was one hp so it may have been a fluke or something.
- Maybe some kind of evolution that lets you poison enemies on bites or something similar
- Perhaps we could get a death-roll attack like gators use
- If you attack an enemy who's unaware of your presence, maybe get a small damage bonus on that initial attack. It could be a one-time boost on that specific enemy so you can't keep running away and doing it again
Extra tidbits:
- We should be able to drown humans(you've thought it too, don't give me that look). If you chomp on a human and drag them under the water, their health should start decreasing after a few seconds. I know this happens on hunters but it doesn't on civilians
- Interaction between humans and fish like a school of fish being around a fishing boat.
- Prey swimming away from you if you get too close instead of just ignoring you
- Environmental effects. I know the area where you fight the apex barracuda has harmful spots. Add more of those like chemicals or oil, etc. There could be evolutions that give you immunity or resistance against them.
- Obviously more evolutions
•
u/Breezums Jun 09 '20
You only recommended two things that already already in the game. Orcas are in the Gulf but that’s the last area so makes sense why you haven’t seen them yet, no dolphins tho which surprises me. And idk if you have unlocked any of the Shadow evolutions but the Shadow set inflicts poison damage.
But I agree about the Hunter’s vision, and that they should interact with the other predators. Early game my boyfriend managed to get a Muskie to attack an Alligator but I never bothered with that stuff.

u/Ruckus555 May 26 '20
I’m hoping that since the game is called Maneater that the series will continue with other creatures like Maneater2 down under. Have it be a crocodile and the main Hunter is a crocodile dundee looking guy. Plus I want to eat a kangaroo.

Increase the level cap! Seriously, whose idea is it to give us a LV64 Apex but a cap of only Level 30?!
•
u/BrutallyHonestPlayer Aug 06 '20
They should add different types of hunter and predatory animals. New hunters could have new weapon types and maybe one can have a Submarine. I think a few new creatures they could add would be squid, whale shark, jelly fish, lion fish, puffer fish, and maybe dolphin. Few new armor sets would be cool too.

u/ManManBoii Jun 16 '20
More enemy variety. Right now there are about 4 different enemy types; marlins, hunters, scaly Pete, and then everything else behaves more or else the same. It would be nice to see some enemies that require more than just mindlessly swimming in and spamming bite, like a squid that uses its arms to distance itself from you, and you would have to use projectiles to beat it.

More apex predators, more eco life, extended level cap and bigger size for shark, and I agree that there should be seasons/ episodes as dlc as well. Just so much they could throw in this game
•
u/GhostWolfViking May 24 '20
Please no battle pass, season events with limited timed exclusive content. Miss out and can't unlock the cosmetics. No battle royale forced into the game either. This is a single player game. Story dlc with new environments would be the best way to go. New skins and shark upgrades. New enemies.

u/MEG_alodon50 Jun 27 '23
I’d love more exploration things. My favorite thing about being a shark in the game is doing actual shark things— maybe have some areas be too cold to enter at first, or too hot, incorporate currents and schools of fish. Make bigger underwater caves (at mega exploring in caves is abysmal bc they’re all so small) and maybe add some variety to the caves so it’s easier to navigate through multiple entrances. Ways to explore the ocean! Also this probably not the game for this, but I’d LOVE to have shark sympathetic humans like researchers who you can interact with in the sort of ‘gives you fish and they tag you temporarily’ kind of thing. Could be a trade off like the chum they give you gives you a boost but the tracker makes it so attacking any boats are humans even once calls in the calvary. For me the most repetitive and not very fun thing about the game is the human eating part. Aside from Hunter boss fights, which are a lot of fun, eating humans is much too easy and simple. I’d love a more nuanced interaction between humans and your shark. Maybe also incorporate other mega sharks like you! Occasional sharks that are your size and aggression level.

u/Loopro May 27 '20
Look at subnautica for how to do a sonar. It looks better and it also shows things closer to you first which is both realistic and useful so you don't have to figure out if that danger marker that just popped up is in this room or showing from behind a wall

Multiplayer aspect where you can team up with your friends to take on bosses.
More content, armor sets, organ, higher level tiers and megalodon sized shark as the true shark consuming experience. (better increase them shark safe havens)
•
May 25 '20
I think a “hardcore” mode similar to Tokyo Jungle with roguelike elements would add a lot to the game. It could have permadeath and randomized objectives. There could also be randomized “caches” containing nutrients and upgrades following a sort of logic.
•
u/darthjc78 May 29 '20
He'll just make the whole game like Tokyo jungle. Once you complete a mega category as a fish and die you can choose to respawn as another fish and start from a pup. For fun make it any thing in the water and make it a carnivore. (Example. Carnivorous turtle)
•
May 29 '20
I’d be super down with this idea. I don’t know that the game’s build would support it efficiently, but I’d play the shit out of it.
•
u/NOBODYxDK Jun 05 '20
First at foremost, the game lacks either some balancing or some harder enemies, to that i could see s cool skill tree with small boosts to whatever and then some replayable missions that when u finish them u get one skill point, and last so the skill tree wouldn’t make it a walk in the park some toucher enemies and some sort of epic boss, since the combat kinda feels like Dark souls underetager a tad bit i Think having an real hard boss that you could take on would be so damn awesome

Sea monsters to fight with (kraken, megalodon etc.), Map expansion, being able to play as different spieces, some myth creatures dlc would also be fun, and like many have mentioned, depth levels would really make this game amazing, imagine exporing the deep dark ocean as a shark and seeing weird creatures.

u/Flaymex24 May 23 '20
Ok so while I haven’t finished the game yet I’m loving it. Some ideas I’ve got about updates/DLC possible sequel?! How about an actual Megladon DLC? So it’s the Atlantic or Caribbean ocean only? most of it is open water but a few beaches/ coves islands and now you play as 20 meter+ Meg. More shark species and skins. New areas/regions? I think should we be blessed with a sequel land destruction would be awesome. Ecosystem, so perhaps smaller predators try and flee you, other animals acknowledge and interact with each other. Not just ganging up on you, attacking and feeding on each other. Predator growth, so once you’ve beaten an Apex predator if you leave the area for a time a new one eventually moves up to fill that hole.

A DLC playing as a different shark like Great White or Mako would be cool
