Quick clarification - 1:35 I say class with portals, I just mean my class/faction with the portals is the most overpowered, all classes have portals just different abilities.
Game is fun overall, not huge on the abilities, gunplay is good, movement is like Titanfall 2 which I love.
Will play the beta and see what the devs change based on feedback

Splitgate 1 - Halo with Portals
Splitgate 2 - Destiny with Portals

Portal + Halo was Splitgate's identity. That was why it had the popularity. I really wished that they would double down more on portals, more surfaces, tricks, momentum etc but they're turning it into a hero shooter.

[leafdragoon]

from what I heard Splitgate 1 died because the developers thought it would be better to start from scratch and develop a whole new game from the ground up. Apparently when they made Splitgate 1 they took so many shortcuts on the games code that it created a mountain of technical debt so was easier to just start from scratch so that would be able to actually create a steady flow of content without having to constantly play whack amole with all the bugs from the spaghetti code.

It's sad to hear that Splitgate 1 crashed down in popularity. I'm someone who swaps between dozens of games at random, but I do wish I remembered it existed more often. It was very fun.

[willwunsche]

They made 100 million off mainly a couple months of popularity? That's crazy to put into perspective

[therealthirst]

I hope this finds it's niche, but honestly there's only so far you can go when your game is solely built of the dissatisfaction of players from another game. Rather than organically growing interest. Splitgate 1 had "Halo Killer" vibes around it, and suffered the same fate as one.

I feel like the best way Splitgate 2 can avoid dying out after a couple months like Splitgate 1 is just by consistently adding new content.

[dixon]

yes.. this is why i wanted halo 5 on PC more so the way it was in its beta

[taylorharris]

I played SG1 a ton, and I gotta say that I'm so excited for this game. It looks like the best parts of SG1 are in SG2. I think if they can widen the selection of casual content and more party oriented modes it'll be fine. It doesn't need to have 80k players consistently, even a healthy player base of 2k will be enough to keep me coming back

Still hyped for this. Splitgate 1 was peak, this looks really good so far, I can’t wait for it to release so I can play it

“I always found splitgate very fun and interesting glad it’s getting a revival”

[Arbiterx]

My only, and I mean ONLY complaint about SplitGate 1, was that I couldn’t slide. Now I can.

IVE BEEN FREED FROM MY SPRINTING SHACKLES

[KingTezGaming]

Split gate 1 was awesome, didn’t play an overwhelming amount but it was still cool, and split gate 2 looks good I just hope it turns out just as good as split gate 1 was on launch and it stays alive for a long time, BUT THEY HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY PLEASE!!!🙏

[paradoxlaboratories]

One nitpick that I have about Splitgate is how the portal surfaces look. In Portal (the game) the surfaces that you can put portals on have a noticeable color contrast to the surfaces that you can’t place portals on. Splitgate is so colorful though that the “portalable” surfaces seem to sometimes get washed out in all the colors.
They don’t immediately catch your eye which somewhat reduces a player’s awareness of where they can portal to at a moment’s notice or where an enemy portal might pop up.

one thing i learned while playing elldivers 2 is that if the game is fun people will play it, splitgate 1 was very fun, but kinda hard to learn and became stale due to a long lack of updates, adn when those came it was too late, if felt it was abandoned by teh devs to me, but as far as i have seen the devs are really passionate about the sequel, plus tehy have a GOAT team to back things up, i will give it a 70% chance of survival, tho it will probably not become mainstream.

I'm just happy that you covered Splitgate on your channel. Thanks. Also, I hope this game won't die on launch.

[TheoriginalBMT]

The halo music over it has me messed up lol

[jrm]

I would’ve been hyped had they just updated the graphics and provided better maps and weapons. This doesn’t look like Splitgate anymore. The game is already chaotic with portal placement; adding class elements looks like it’ll be too much, visually.

LateNighyGaming put it perfectly, “yeah, it’s another one boys.”

Well made video, thank you for the honest review.
