At first glance I thought this was inspired by the Bohemia Interactive Armed Assault 3 mission mode called Capture The Island in futuristic style. It is very similar gameplay to NS2 but in ArmA 3, why my personal favorite mission for the ArmA games is Benny's Edition CTI.

But then I saw the weapons, alien eggs and infestation. Yes, this is absolutely inspired from Natural Selection 2.

Thanks, I will follow this project. But I definitely doubt it can even compete with NS2's or NS1's gameplay. It risks being more popular though, maybe the NS2 devs can figure out a way to steal parts of the future playerbase?

im also a very big arma fan, so this really helps.

Looks like a mix of NS2 and Executive Assault. I approve.

Pls let's get this upvoted for all NS2 players to see and try together . i very much approve the look of this.

ehhhh

I'm very excited to play it. I hope more RTS/FPS games come out.

How exactly is this game a NS successor?

I did indeed and it makes me think more of Battlezone than NS.

I would say it incorporates all.

I though the same thing when i saw this trailer elsewhere.
"Would it be a successor to NS2 ?"
I will wait to have more informations about Silica but it could be what some of us are waiting.

I've taken another look at the game and it appears to have taken inspiration from both Natural Selection 2 and Subnautica in the following way:

Natural Selection 2 as the base but with reworked RTS elements from Carrier Command and Command & Conquer.

The game's atmosphere is very similar to Subnautica but in space instead of in the ocean, it especially copies the open-world philosophy.

Honestly I would not say it would be a successor to NS2, more like a premium multiplayer successor to Carrier Command. The only con about Carrier Command is that the gameplay is super long. So if you think NS2 rounds are too long you should stay away!

Thanks, I already have ONE poorly made nostalgia milking attempt in my hands.

FYI this aint n othing like NS2 and it wont be a successor just because it has RTS/FPS hybrid in its gameplay.

RTS/FPS hybrids been around for years long before NS1 was even a thing XD

I have just under 50 hours in Silica and what I can say is It's very rough. Systems don't always work as intended, It's jank, it's poorly optimized, and it is horribly balanced. But I also love it. It has a long way to go but if you have three or four buddies down to play it's a good time.
