Admittedly it’s WAY easier to operate a motor boat than a sail boat, so depending on how you like to recreationally bleed your unlimited money I can see reasons for that choice.
But I fully agree that we’ve had renewable energy-based ships with unlimited range for millenia. The claim that “The aim was to demonstrate that zero-emission sea travel [is possible today]” broke my brain a little.
“Normal” is very much not the word I’d use.
I’d say it’s a psychological horror thing with a side of body horror. It doesn’t focus more on combat than Eternal Darkness does, honestly, and it’s certainly a lot more straight-up gory and gross. But it’s definitely not a B-movie riff in the vein of Resident Evil, at least narratively, it just mostly plays like it.
The new remake is coming soon. People are a bit worried about execution on that, but if they don’t botch it may be a good place to start with it.
