It's not even that they find you. in SotF they literally spawn near you. In The Forest they had fixed spawn locations, and would then patrol around set routes. So they basically went from realistic enemy patrols around the island to "eh, just spawn some mutants around the player."

it's mental. I played the forest on PS4 3 years back? Me and some friends had a save we spent days building on. We had a gigantic walled base built around our smaller orignal base, a fully fortified beach, a zipline to an emergency base, treehouses, farms etc. We had all the secret buildings up including the giant glider tower too. With the church blueprint we thought it would be funny to build them in totally oposite locations, so we have a snow church built on a little lake, a water church built in the sea somehow, and plans for a mountain church. My friend also built a giant hotel deep in the forest. In the end we had exausted so many possibilites we decided to build a giant warehouse to store every log in the game. I went to load it up one day around that time and noticed the loading time was longer than usual. When it finally loaded, I am thrown into a 1fps slideshow with intense motion blur rendering it completely unplayable. I frantically reloaded - nothing, restarted the game - nothing...just like that 100 hours gone. With that, our little group gave up on the game. I remember it being capped to 4 players on PS4 but in total I think about 6 of us visited overall. Of the 5, I only speak to one of them now and regretably left on bad terms with 2. It lived in my mind as a little snapshot of such a relaxed and care-free time I'd never see again. Anyway I thought I'd boot it up again. See if I could maybe salvage some screenshots as it had randomly popped into my mind one day. I hadn't even touched my PS4 since so had to get ps+ again just to gain access. I load the game and boom...I'm in...no lag, no stutters - a perfectly playable framerate. I had a look around, explored old memories. It was this weird mix between heartwarming nostalgia and a cold eeriness as it almost felt wrong to be back, like I was intruding. It's only been 3 years. I can't imagine the strange sensation we'll have exploring decade old worlds provided we still have a way to access them. Anyway... back to reality XD

Most will probably disagree with me but... I prefer the old inventory over the new one. The animations are cool and all but when I am trying to do things in a hurry or make bombs in a hurry I just like the old inventory where everything was instant, also not having to pan around is so nice.

Best part was having non-square bases. Trying to do any triangles or octagonal or hexagonal or whatever in sotf takes far too long to be worth it. Would love even just the platform blueprint then shoving walls manually on top

I went to my old savefile last month too. My save is basically an empire. 5 big bases on the four ends of the map and one in the center. Every pond with fish has a treehouse with a dry rack and water collector and a bonfire and bed. Everything connected by rock roads and lights to guidepost at night. Without the map i can tell exactly where i am and get to food or safety. 3 trap filled forests to play with the enemy and huge graveyards replete with effigies all over the place. The fps cant handle that beastly empire ive created in 500 hours of gameplay.

I think one thing I really miss about The Forest is the fact that it was more about the survival craft element. I remember starting the game and crafting clubs, arrows, stick bags (etc). In Sons of the Forest, the crafting system becomes unnecessary as little as an hour into gameplay bc you can just find everything you need. I'm not a big fan of the gun focused gameplay either. I think it really takes away from the whole experience.

Man, so nostalgic hearing the outro music with the first game. Love the trip down memory lane

Holy shit man. Never even couldve imagined these builds are possible. extremally impressive

All the improvements/disadvantages… thanks for all the videos!!!

Yes! I have recently revisited with 3 friends and it was brillant.

Totally nostalgic! I have watched every single video you have made of the original and most of your Sons ones, keep it up man

This video took me back a few years. I used to play this over the pandemic with my friends on console. Watching your content was both really helpful and entertaining. Made me a better player too. I watched most of the videos of you constructing these buildings. Thanks for all your dedication. Cheers mate

Love your videos man! Glad you went back to the forest as well! Haven’t had a chance to play sons of the forest yet but because of your videos I’m prepared for both of them! Thanks Farket, keep up the good work!

Just to see a new video of The Forest from you give me goosebumps. And the memories about the hours and hours of beeing in the forest, alone or with my friends, priceless.

Heyo, just want to say Thank you. I got The Forest recently on Steam sale and your videos helped with basics and encouraged me to build and have a lot of fun in each play trough. :)

Man this really is nostalgic watching this. I remember watching your videos on The Forest for hours. Great content.

The enemies in the forest move, sound and ‘come across’ much less human/civilised which is definitely a plus for the horror element of the game. The red guy in sotf for example just looks like a regular beer gut guy painted red lol. The cannibal camps in both games are good as well but the forest defiantly has greater uniqueness and size with those tall triangle buildings for eg.

It would definitely be better if they were faster as creepies are rather slow too and it'd be some nice contrast, especially if it felt like you couldn't run away from the cannibals.

Nice walk down memory lane. I still love this game, havent played in a while but when I do get back to this series I am thinking on starting this one again. Just miss it. Sons of the forest is cool, I love the back story and Virginia is cool and sad at the same time and Kelvin LOL. But this version IMO has so much charm, maybe because it was the first. Kind of like going home after being away for years where in real life you cant do that, its a time and space if you know how i mean.

Im just now started playing the forest on ps4 i got it a few weeks ago and i found ur channel and ive been watching your vids alots. Ik im really late to playing this but i enjoy it alot. I cant wait to try and play the sons of the forest, if it ever comes to consoles.

Its been so long since I played The Forest that this was a great video to watch. Thanks! One of the biggest things I miss is so miniscule, but its the inventory. Sons inventory is so slow to go through trying to find what you want. The Forest just lays it all out in a mess, but at least you don't have to pan the camera slow as a slug. Also, the building guide. It was just so much better. I wish they'd fix it to be more user friendly. Having to switch modes is very weird.

Thanks for the flashback to season 5, hope your feeling better :D

Watched a heap of the original builds. Thanks for revisiting them. I

Nice seeing your gameplay from time to time.

My gf and I LOVED The Forest, we played a ton early in our relationship and my desktop background is a screen of us parodying the famous titanic scene at the front of the ship. Sons was quite a let down for us (mostly her, she was sooooo mad 😂). I hope they do try and rectify some of the worse off changes soon. Was excited to play around with building in the new system.

The only time I actually beat the forest was with my gf , was probably mine and definitely her's best gaming experience , loved that game , broke up with me recently after 5 years had to move back in with parents temporarily , finding it really hard to enjoy SOTF because it just reminds me of the great times we had playing the game , booting up the forest now and stumbling onto the same spot we built our first and only base felt really sad.

Good to see the comparisons. Good on you

Don't stop uploading Farket, you're welcome to make as many of these as you can.

Viewing this stirs up nostalgia. Although I'm fond of Sons of the Forest, it doesn't quite recapture the thrill of the unknown I felt when I first launched The Forest.

I love the original game. The new one is neat, but nothing beats the original. Such a fantastic story, well balanced, great gameplay

I revisited The Forest just yesterday! A friend of mine and I threw down a cabin blueprint and built it just to reminisce about the old way of building. 😁

it would be kinda cool to see the old cannibals in SOTF afteer you complete it kinda like whhat they did with armsy and virginia.

I did this yesterday but with the forest vr and it was just as fun as it was back when it came out, I even forgot about a lot of stuff so it was like playing a game for the first time again, I started noticing more mechanics and how good they were and how much I loved the building with custom blueprints how scary the caves can be at first, I love it, sons of the forest is great but they need to add the same type of building you used to do custom platforms and stuff to make building fun and not too complicated to do big structures, I banged out a house on a raised structure in like 10 minutes, I wish sons of the forest was that easy to work with

I miss the forest so much. This was a great video.

i recently toured a few of my old bases on subnautica 1 and 2, the forest, green hell, and stranded deep its always fun for a few minutes to go back and look at all the work i put in and you definitely put some time in here lol

I truly love The Forest way more than Sons, there's something so special about it.

watching this video and remembering my forest playthrough reminds me why sons of the forest is in early access, its missing so many things, especially the building seems to have taken a step back in terms of freedom, can't wait for the game to get out of early access, me and my friends have already played quite a lot, we're just waiting on full release or maybe more features and polishing to play again.

Hope you’re feeling better brotha!

what i'd LOVE is for the hides to become useful again, i MISS the old bags you could make and it would be amazing if you could carry 2+ cooking pots with one and for all the buildables to be ported to sotf

I wish I could delete it from my brain and play it again without to know nothing, like I was the first time when the game came out.when I whent in my first cave I was like 😮..... Nice memories, I was watching ur videos one by one until I watch the all I think. 😁 u teach me a lot for this game m8,thank u really!!!

Awesome builds 😲👌🏻

oh daaaaayyyngg!!! The flashbacks im getting!! Endnight should definatly bring back a bunch of buildables from the forest to SotF. Like weapon holders and such. Been missing them from launch already. Even though there is something simular(ish) i miss the deadfall- , noose- and happy birthday traps. Spear cannon is kinda useless. muddys crawl to low and canniball just barge right through em without setting em off half the time..not to mention the thing misses 99% of time. Found the other day you can still make floating structures using the roof method and like you mentioned in another vid stonewall textures/sections look TOO repeated when building long/high walls..but wont have that to much when you every now and then start a section from oppisite side like left to right , right left.. AND/OR dont use pillars every section..just the "filler" .(thought id mention cuz that bugged me too) Did you see that canniball with the deformed face already? kinda looks like the elephantman LOL. - edit : never saw it mentioned anywhere like charging and fire cannibal -. anyways keep up the great vids.greetings from netherlands

i love sotf but this brings back memories you cant forget that you said it yourself endnight is still developing sons of the forest so i like to give them a chance until full release

Did you know in the cave, approx 6mins in, with the ropes, flares, dynamite and cloth… if you use dynamite to open the crates you get double of everything 😊 As a ps4 player still playing this game, this was an awesome video to look back on what you did 👍

when are you going to make a video about update 15 of son of the forest

This video gave me heavy nostalgia of the countless hours I spent on this game. I'm going to have to revist it for sure! I feel like sons of the forest is missing alot of the elements that made the forest so amazing, sure its got its moments too. But it doesnt even compare in so many ways to the first game. I loved the building in the first game its pretty much all i did, It was more free form and creative and alot less limited. Sons of the forest takes everything to a more realistic level, which again is nice and all but not why i played the forest. Thanks for the amazing video as always and making some really good points about the games.

Your the reason I got back into gaming and play both and only these games lol. Ya can't get any better it's the only games that does it the right way. Been watching ur vids for a couple years now keep er up bud. Ontario Canada.

Having played and loved both games, I’ve gotta say I prefer Sons of the Forest and am very excited to see what the game has to offer upon full release. The graphics upgrades are great, the more realistic building keeps me immersed and makes me feel more attached to what I’m building, and the map upgrades (Larger size and it feels more alive) are fantastic. If you like the Forest more that’s fine, but I think Sons is a huge step in the right direction. Don’t forget, it’s still in early access so features will be missing and things will need to be rebalanced. Good video though!

I've gone back to playing The Forest for the foreseeable. I don't know what it is, Sons just isn't scratching that itch for me. The cannibals doing new things is cool and that, but they're not scary like in the first version, they're just an annoyance. Building system is way less fun/custom blueprints, when you get good at them, give you SO much more creative freedom, and just the overall vibe of the game is completely different... I mean, it's their game, they can take it in whichever direction they want, it's just miles away from what I thought a sequel to The Forest would actually be. I love in the first game how we're literally just dumped in this place, alone, and we have to figure it out. In Sons, we've got Kelvin, Virginia (I know we don't have to use them, but still...), the Kight V, golf carts, even a freaking 3D printer! I guess what I'm saying is that I feel like a lot of that survival, will I make it though the night element is missing for me. Eh, I might go back to Sons in a year or so, but for now, I'm more than happy playing The Forest again.

its a good day, farket uploaded! :)

Good video I finished the forest and it's a pretty good game and I can't wait to play sons of the forest

I really wish I could like the new version even 1/4 as much as I loved this game.

Yea I definitely agree with the defensive walls just being drawn with a blueprint

Dang, this is nostalgic. I remember when you created a lot of this world.

I'd like a video comparing building speeds, taking everything into account like getting the wood.

I personally enjoy all the animations and single-placement stuff in Sons of the Forest. It immerses me more cuz muh realism. Also the way I see it, there is still a chance that Endnight will add more buildings and features from The Forest. Sons of the Forest is still in early access after all and will probably stay that way for some time still

I do miss some of the old features from the forest. Like the pull up tower which could act as an elevator. I mist the old slingshot. so much easier to aim. there is definately other things too like the flare pistol, the old flintlock pistol. the catapult. But yeah some old things to cherish but a lot to appriciate with the new system too.

eyyyy, looking forward to this

I still hop back in every now and again. Much as the game wasn't "finished", it was a lot of fun.

I honestly can’t wait to see how Sotf turns out and how it compares to the original

Hope all is well bro

I still play this love it 👍😊

Yes I miss the system alot myself would love to see the both together.

Could this be the final goodbye to The Forest games from Farket? What a beautiful run it has been, but I surely hope that Farket will find a way to a happier place again. The struggle has been so eminent in the last year or so to find the passion and motivation for a game series he has breathed life into for so long. Thank you, Farket, no matter where you're at❤

I just started playing the forest like 3 months now 😭 seeing ya builds compare to mines 🤯 I’m here making basic things 😭

at 9:25 you can actually do this with a rope bridge in SOTF, works basically the same

the forest will always be in my heart, good times

Good video idea.

First game was much scarier. Going into a huge cave alone with just a lighter or torch my heart would beat so fast. In sons of the forest, I have no fear inside the caves. I think the main problem (for me) in the second game is the caves. They are much smaller and they are not interconnected like in the first one. I would get lost for days inside the caves. Or try to go somewhere, exit at the wrong place and have to go back. You can't really get lost in sons of the forest. Although the new enemies are amazing and did scare me when I first encountered them, after a while the sense of danger is lost

wish we could have instant build now also and wall blueprints!

I wish I could go back and play the forest for the first time again the first time playing it it was a nightmare but it was so fun
