@@jb8478you’re feeling this way because nobody is doing crazy portal stuff atm cause the game is very new and everyone is still learning it, you seem to be comparing splitgate 1 at its peak vs splitgate 2 at its inception, give it some time to cook
@@aurijitchatterjee2937 I guess that's possible. I also just don't like the whole class system. Everyone gets a stim, which makes the fast movement and accurate positioning more forgiving. A bubble that makes your weapon shoot faster? That's just really dumb, especially in an objective mode. One class can move quicker than the others? There's a wallhack class mechanic? I don't know. I just think in a game that is supposed be equal footing and based around movement and gunplay for the skill ceiling, a class system is dumb and makes the entire point of the games base mechanics more irrelevant, especially when there's a lot of tight corners/spaces in the map design. The portal locations also seem way more limited. Maybe I will be mistaking and the game will be better once it's fleshed out more. And maybe I'm wrong and the class system is what the game needs to become popular. I don't think it'll do well though.
TTK is short enough to let bots get easy kills but the movement and portal tech is such that there is a high skill ceiling. I hope many people play this!
i think theres potential that shorter ttk compared to splitgate 1, because it will give enemies less time to react, will reward attacking in an unpredictable way, which could mean good portal plays, rather than just 50/50 spraying each other i could be wrong tbh i have no idea, but we'll have to wait and see how it plays
They heavily pushed the design aspects of this game and its paid off. This game looks absolutely amazing. Great UI, game design, animations. Like this looks better than some AAA games (probably way worse in optimization, but thats expected) which makes sense as they don't need to go through the hassle of hundreds of corporate reviews to dull the game look down. What a difference between this and Splitgate 1.
It's not like AAA games a good at optimisation either LMAO. Look at cyberpunk when it released, all Ubisoft games basically, All modern CODs and their ever increasing file sizes etc etc. Funnily indie games I've played appear to be more polished and optimized than AAA games.
Tomo, thanks for these previews of the games you think you can just have fun with. I think you're one of the most trusted content creators around. Viewers should subscribe for that reason as well as great content.
The primary reason why I like this even though it's my first time seeing it is they brought back something that felt like the OG halo with dual wielding weapons and that's a whole vibe and mood.
This game does halo better than halo. Felt more like halo 2-3. Split gate 1 is a blast. Has the classics too. Swat, Infection. Fiesta, Gun Game. Definitely worth checking out.
As a 40 year old (😢) who grew up playing unreal tournament, this looks awesome. Doubt I'll have the reaction speed anymore, but will give it a go. Good vid as always Tomo
I love your Vids Tomo! You genuinely enjoy playing the games in your vids and your commentary shows it. It is always a enjoyable experience watching you play anything. Even things I don't even enjoy myself. Keep up the good work! Keep on gaming! 😁
been having fun with the spectre divide playtest, steelhunters is like a sick transformers game sorta that were finally getting, that one match of mechabreak was fun, and now this looks awesome too. the shooters are back baby.
I cannot wait for this game. I liked the first one a lot, but this looks so much more polished and like it has the depth of something I can sink my teeth into.
I was a huge fan of slitgate 1. People stopped playing because they couldn’t understand how to properly use the portals. But the game ran so smooth and the gunplay was amazing. Glad to see they didn’t give up on it.
Splitgate was a brilliant game although it definitely has a high skill ceiling and tends to intimidate people. But i really like the new overhaul, looks more vibrant than the last game.
I must say, where I do hate the hero shooter aspect of this game... This is probably the closest we've gotten to a Titanfall and I can't wait for the full release. Time to put another 500 hours into this game, just like the first one
Very true. Now that I think about it, the gunplay felt very Titanfall pilot-like minuse wallrunning and less comparable to Halo this time. Definitely feels like it has more of it's own identity this time around!
Tomo, iv learned your channel through JF, and you guys are my favorite streamers. And you can thank Jack im watching you man! Im happy that you play a game that you like yourself and not a game that you dont like, thats how it should be. About sponsorship, im totally agree on that.🙂
I wish this game's developers would try their hand at developing a battle royale, I feel that would be a very unique and innovative take on a BR. A BR with jetpacks and portals and custom loadouts. Its one of the best FPS games out there. I played the first game extensively.
Honestly I think the game looks really cool and splitgate 1 was underrated for its time, but also overwhelming for a majority of the players. Having to strategically think and use portals inbetween your shooting sessions is just too much for the average player to deal with.
I agree in regards to Splitgate 1 but there seems to be much less nuance with the portal placement this time around, at least on the maps I played where there are less walls to place your portals. I think this was a good decision for the longevity of the game, though I'm sure the most advanced SG1 players would prefer the older maps but it opens the game up to more players and still leaves room for a decent skill gap but one that isn't completely unachievable for the average gamer 👍
@@Tomographic Yes and I also feel like the majority of streamers I watch play sg2 aren't making portal plays that seem possible with current maps. I agree that there are less walls and options and I also think high level play is going to see some crazy plays.
hope you had a good time playing and recording this tomo! that's what matters! the game does look pretty fun wont lie. Didn't get to catch the first one at all!
A neat trick I learned playing the first, is in that room at 15:02 there's that drop-down part? I put my portals on that wall, one on top and the other in the bottom. Using the floor as my "shield", while using the portal to hit the enemy/know ahead of time if someone's coming up. Wanted to share that idea :) Also, this new version is giving me Titanfall 2 vibes and I'm loving it
There is a good point regarding portals and skill gap. I imagine there will be a no portal mode which I can see maybe killing the portal mode a little. For a lot (not all) 30+ player, dealing with portals late at night after work would be hard to sustain for long periods lol. Wish the game was coming out a little sooner since I have been done with Halo Infinite for a little bit and this looks like a great new game to transition to. The game for an Alpha looks really good.
The skill gap and how fast paced split gate was is the reason I loved it so much it rewarded players for getting good and I've always preferred faster paced when shooters which is why I have the unpopular opinion of loving modern warfare 2019 and vanguard so much because they were fast they weren't slow you had to constantly be thinking and the person who was the better straighter shooter with faster reaction times always won the gun fight I really hope split gate 2 holds the same style of fast-paced quick reaction time will always win over slow methodical thinking like the original game did super hyped
Keep doing what you're doing Tom. You get 10-20x the comments of similar size creators for a reason, we appreciate you're candor and humor which is lacking in the "content creator" space these days. There will always be 1%-5% garbage people in the comments but the fact that so many of us are willing to take our time to comment positively hopefully helps to drown out the bullshit that comes with comment sections across the board 👍 My only complaint is i want more content lol ggs
People who make that assumption about you don't know you and are already gone I think, the real ones stick around and appreciate your tastes in gaming mate. Also, Splitgate 2 looks immense.
I enjoyed the first Splitgate, but it didn't have much staying power for me or my friends, didn't do that well long term. Died off quickly, it just felt shallow, but it was a quality game. Hopefully it'll be do better this time, this looks great.
I loved the first split gate I even played like 2 weeks before it got so popular the survers died that’s why I stoped playing because I couldn’t get into any games
Honestly love how they’re separating themselves from the original Halo style with its own gameplay so it isn’t remembered as “the halo knockoff with portals”
Did they make the TTK faster? I only played the first a little bit, but me being a Halo fan, I really liked the gameplay, although it was already pretty fast for me. I personally wouldn't want it any faster.
I really like everything in the second version. I played the first Splitgate and lacked something, it felt too strictive and less fun. But this version feels way better just looking at it. I prefer they give us some stupid simple maps like 2 platforms with portalable walls both sides and an obstacle in the middle just to see the chaos.
@Tomographic . Have you tried already or consider trying some Tribes 3 Rivals for a video? 🙂 Fantastic game back in the day and the new one feels fresh but with old family values 👊😂👊
already felt like the first game was very accessible, because apart from portals, it didn't have any complex mechanics or abilities or choices you had to make. You'd just shoot
I had no idea this game was releasing. Looks much cleaner than the first game!
It's not released yet sadly. Alpha tests
same jesus i love those devs
Every new video of this game makes me drool! 🤤🤤
Slpitgate 1 from 2019 or splitgate 2 from 2021?
yeah, unreal engine does a lot to a game
damn this looks like a massive step up from how splitgate 1 felt
I was thinking the opposite, but the improved graphics is nice.
@@jb8478how the opposite?! It’s literally so much better

@@jckfrost36 have you heard of The Finals? its a pvp fps game that i highly recommend
@@extremegamer5365i hope not because i dont care about portals the gunplay in splitgate was just really good

This is what I've been looking for! Some fast paced good arena shooter. Bless u for showing us that game!
I gotchu. Shame we have to wait till 2025 for the full release but the game is shaping up nicely!
I love that they're really leaning into the F1 style corporate teams, almost reminds me of Wipeout. Awesome art direction.
❤
That's better but it lost its arena gameplay identity 🥲
@@adrianlugo1130 yeah idk why they had to add loadouts and operators.

also part destiny 2

never thought they would make a part 2 omg

ah fanx 🥰

This is starting to make me feel closer to the feeling of first playing quake again
The weapon (akimbo smg) and jump thrust look like cod Infinite Warfare and its probably not a bad thing
It's rare.I get sucked into watching game play and oh my God, this looks so much better.
It's gonna be quite the wait till release!!!

I tried first one today it’s a blast I’ll be getting SPLITGATE 2 not BLACK OPS 6
keep it coming, love the content
That gun that splits into two reminds me of that one weapon in Infinite warfare

Dude same. I think they were in one of the mw games too I think
ragdoll look amazing
Love the akimbo smg but I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAME
I'm so excited for this, as long as ranked takedown comes back I'll be happy
i didn't play the first one too much but i always had so much fun playing it but it lacked player base, i hope this one gets papular
I checked the steam charts earlier coincidentally, and there's 400 people on currently
Now you're thinking with portals! Again.
I played heaps of the first game, cant wait for me invite!!

Good stuff Tom
Glad you enjoyed it 🫡
What's the intro and outro track? Sounds fire and I spent the last two hours trying to find it on Epidemic's channels.
The artstyle is like wipeout and destiny, its gorgeous. So happy splitgate has a personality now but I wish the game didn't have loadouts
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👌🏽
this looks fun as hell
I’m very excited this game
Movement is S tier after adding sliding mechanics can bunny hop and gain so much speed
Wow they made a whole new game to just add sliding
I loved the first split gate I even played like 2 weeks before it got so popular the survers died that’s why I stoped playing because I couldn’t get into any games
No way!! Whe s the game coming out?? I need to pre order.
WTF is looks awesome. Loved the first game even tho i havent played in over 2 years
Infinite warfare had that cool split gun thing
Can't wait for SG2. The first Splitgate was amazing until they reduced the match times for some stupid reason.
This is going to be the best game of 2025 🔥
The movement reminds me of BO3 and infinite warfare🤔 Very intriguing…
when are we getting more of READY OR NOT. i loved your gameplay with friends and even solo. PLease do more of it.
Honestly love how they’re separating themselves from the original Halo style with its own gameplay so it isn’t remembered as “the halo knockoff with portals”
I got to play with you for one match....after I was paired with snipedown...one of the best nights of my life! Ggz
Haha! GG's 🤝
Random fact: The dual smg Splitstream looks/acts like Type-2 from Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
I'm playing it ASAP
I got access to the alpha version and I can confirm is is crazy
I was iffy about it after watching the reveal trailer, but it looks sweet.
Did they make the TTK faster? I only played the first a little bit, but me being a Halo fan, I really liked the gameplay, although it was already pretty fast for me. I personally wouldn't want it any faster.
Dont even bother they abandoned the first game only to make another turd of a game
holy that looks fun
Played the Alpha for the first game
The 2 looks so awesome
I wish this has a better attraction than the first one( I still like the first one
What a great game!
This looks so sick
I really like everything in the second version. I played the first Splitgate and lacked something, it felt too strictive and less fun. But this version feels way better just looking at it. I prefer they give us some stupid simple maps like 2 platforms with portalable walls both sides and an obstacle in the middle just to see the chaos.
the UI looks cool
when I saw this game had Overwatch shields and wallhacks my heart sank.
Looks nice, hopefully they have good battle pass without FOMO (like halo) and some events
cant wait man, cant wait..
we see you 1047!
though I really hate it when games throw you into a match before you get a chance to fuck around with the settings..
and also I think abilities are a really silly thing to add to splitgate :( we'll see!
this looks so cool
@Tomographic . Have you tried already or consider trying some Tribes 3 Rivals for a video? 🙂 Fantastic game back in the day and the new one feels fresh but with old family values 👊😂👊
Oh shit I am 100% down for more Splitgate
THERE'S A SECOND ONE?
I had no idea
