HEY GUYS, at 0:17 I promised to pin a comment if a miracle happened, well, OffWorld Industries (Squad developers) just bought Post Scriptum and they have a dev team working on it! This is great news! However I am skeptical optimist, I hope they can fix the issues the game has but as of right now (21/11/2023) I would say wait and see what happens. If they can get the game to run stable at 100 players that would already be an amazing start. Keeping an eye on this one. Cheers!
I'm honestly surprised that they decided to revive the game again knowing that it will probably be a financial burden for quite some time, great respect to OWI for squad ico update and them reviving post scriptum.

After 1000+ hrs on this game, my opinion is that PS is indeed way better than HLL in terms of realism, on almost every aspect. Very unfortunate that no one plays it. Having said that, there is still a small community of about a hundred players that regularly play and it's actually pretty cool to team up with the same people every once in a while (but it can cut both ways). And the modding community is still active. Anyway, always a pleasure to see your PS shenanigans, Nano! EDIT : I'm the one you teamkilled with that nade 11:11 my legs still hurt
Not only is it better in terms of realism, but the glitches in PS are mostly just funny. And personally I've had so many extremely cinematic moments in that game. Definitely a massively underrated gem of a game, damn shame that it's slipping away.
Hll is better in every way. Which is why it won. Also why its still alive and this, well this ain't, son. And also, why hll has far better use reviews than this empty promise got.
Hello, i play both game, and i dont understand the people who want confront or compare this both games...@@madmax85367 HLL = tactical arcade shooter with a little tactical part. quicker gameplay - target audience = casual players searching the teamplay (mature or not). More entertaining. Post Scriptum = tactical FPS immersiv and realistic (recoil / ballistic / range finder system / TANK battle overhaul - slower gameplay - target audience = players with a specifi profil "mature, accessible for player with a milsim background and immersiv FPS / experience or serching this kind of "deep" and sold gameplay / game mechanics. There is no offens. You can be in love with HLL, its ok, no jugement. you can't compare both game correctly. BUT ! it depend your tastes...if you love the realism, the immersiv simulation, the human experience on a battlefield. The best choice is Post Scriptum. But he is abandonned.
@@idrinkmilk282 hello, you look like to be a random player . Post scriptum is HLL's dad. He deserv some respect please, and read my comment above. Be smart. Friendship, your dad
Man I have over 1000hrs in this game and it’s one of the few games where I do not regret playing it that much at all, I either remember matches that were so intense where every push and defence counted, with such amazing squad communication. Or it was a hilarious fuckfest of gore and ridiculous antics. Man I’m going to miss this game. RIP.
I'm one of the only active armor players in PS anymore, I came on a bit late but it's not quite dead yet! I want to keep this game alive for as long as possible because there's nothing else like it on the market yet.
Post scriptum is back!! The devs were all fired and overall it was abounded but recently a new development team has picked it up and is now being worked on
Post scriptum is literally THE BEST WWII shooter ever, it saddens me so much that I cant stop thinking about it, its like a family member passed away and theres constant memories in my head that i cant get rid of, hell let loose cant even come close to what PS delivered, Rest In Peace Post Scriptum, i hope someday you will be renewed 🙏😔😔
@@copperhead6132 the game used to have an amazing amount of players, enough to have huge battles and even bayonet charges, now the game is literally dead, well, some people do occasionally play, but the amount of players have dropped so badly it's just such a waste of a beautiful game
While reading your thoughts on why the game failed, i realised how many of those things can apply to Hell let Loose right now. Hope it doesn't end the same way:(
Yeah... about that... You do know that the original devs of Hell Let Loose sold their rights to the game to Team17, right? All recent updates since end of 2022 are anything but reassuring 💀
@@alejochol9397 oh yeah, i know about the supposed new team of experienced developers and all that. The game is a fucking gem but somehow they manage to take some really stupid decisions:(
Trust me it will go down that route… I already stopped because of all the super annoying bugs. The k98 not shooting for example that has been in the game for almost a year now….
I have so many fond memories of this game. Literal days spent playing this. HLL basically replaced this and although the graphics were better in HLL the gameplay is much more solid in PS. Also this game still has the best sound design I've ever heard.
man i spent 1k hours on this game, i was in a team it was such good times. I'm so sad it ended up like that. I remember 2020 when the chapter 3 got released it was insane
As a WWII enthusiast in the history of it, along with books, movies, even toys, and especially the video games, it's a hobby/interest I love to a day-to-day basis. Post Scriptum will be a game that I'll never forget, one of the best WWII games I played. Especially when playing the Airborne maps and D-Day. The memories and excitement that rushed through my veins when I played it, learning from a simple foot soldier, to tanks, logistics, and squad leading. It was this game that got me into Squad as well. But once I heard the news on the Dev team being laid off, it was heartbreaking. This game with surely be missed for me.❤❤❤
They have different devices and publishers. PS is made by Periscope Games and published by Offworld Industries. HLL was developed by black matter who sold it to team17.
Ngl i read goodbye and saw nano's name and felt really sad that i thought he was quitting youtube , but then i read the rest and felt a rush of relief and joy
personally i always thought that the canteen being used to refill stamina was a good feature because you have to walk so much. i kinda wish quad had it ngl
Last time I checked Squad had constant stamina recover 3x that of PS WITH canteen used, so not really needed. In PS you killed yourself if you ran out of canteen, had a long way to go and there was no resupply close.
yeah so sad people prefer HLL over PS :( HLL is so Arcady spawn die spawn die or maybe its just my taste and im used to playing PS so HLL looks like COD to me or BF.
I don't think it's fair to compare the two. I always see people criticising one game for not doing something that it wasn't supposed to do in the first place! People will say that HLL is better cuz the gameplay is more smooth and engaging - well, Post Scriptum's gameplay, coming from Project Reality and Squad isn't supposed to be smooth. It's supposed to be slow and clunky and a bit grueling at times to be more realistic. It's a pace some people (me) enjoy and some don't. It's like comparing KOTH servers to milsim ops in Arma. Or how people shit on HLL for not being realistic or being arcady - but that's the fucking point! It was supposed to be a semi-realistic, semi-arcadey game that the majority of gamers not used to milsim can enjoy. You can only really compare things like performance or graphics or dev involvement (and maybe map layout, but that's quite controversial I'd say) but gameplay wise it's surprisingly very different and for a reason.
@@buckplug2423 hey i know bro but PS is dying and i have 1.5K hours of total chaotic fun in that game. I will be one of those people who will keep on reminding the existence of post scriptum on hell let loose videos. Because i know people are playing hell let loose more, because of PS bad marketing, mostly noone knows of its existence(PS), and those who do go in PS see empty servers and jump to HLL. Just sad. I also cant find any other simulator with the sound design of post scriptum. Even its visuals are top noch, just the environment is poorer because its level design is poor. Both games are fine i just cant play HLL so im radical about PS xD
@@WolverineMKD You should try Project Reality. It has way worse graphics as it's a really really advanced BF2 mod (it uses its own engine now, but still) - I mean it isn't ugly, but definitely dated - and the sound design, while good, doesn't compare to PS. But gameplay wise and especially community wise it's very similar - I mean hell, Squad derives from it. And it's really really polished at this point, since it's been around since 2008 or maybe even 2005, don't recall now, and there's soooo much content on it - WWII, Vietnam, Chechen War, Palestine, Africa and a ton of modern fictional conflicts. Even the Falklands War. Not to mention a couple of insurgent factions for the Insurgency mode. Almost everybody uses a mic and there are a ton of good squad leaders who know their shit. And it's relatively active - around 100-200 in-game players with 100 man servers (which is my only gripe - often a server is full and there's nothing else). If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, give it a try - it's free and runs on a toaster.
@@SmokeDog1871 except the devs wherent fired they legit just took the money from initial sales and whent on vacation for a month and said fuck the game
@@WolverineMKD id rather not name names lol but now that i think about it, they maybey did get fired after they pulled that stunt idk who the bosses boss is or any of that i just know somebody that knows the story
this game did a good job with the particle effects when things get shot, looks so good with the dust and small debris flying everywhere from bullet impacts.
Really sad Post Scriptum was abandoned but that seems to be the trend of these squad like WW2 games. Really the only option right now is Hell Let Loose but even them are going through their own problems. Maybe its WW2 fatigue again? I hope they do a squad game in a different era maybe vietnam or something because right now the formula like games like these is a formula or FAILURE.
Yeah someone should start making a Vietnam or Cold War tactical shooter. There are many other conflicts to exploit. There are more and more failed and stalled WW2 games.
@@mrmakhno3030 we already had a vietnam squad-like FPS. it failed already a while ago. Rising Storm Vietnam was the name. Fun game but its pretty much dead. also day of infamy is another ww2 game that died, to add to the list.
RIP Post Scriptum - it was one of the few games that got me through 2020 during Covid and had a lot of great experiences in it that I still remember to this day. It's always tragic when a game gets abandoned, especially one with a passionate player base.
I really hope for this game to take a right turn. I actually bought this game before Squad, mostly because of Nano vids. Also I really like WW2 games (obviously). I sincerely hope that this game will get fixed and filled with a big fanbase. I like to belive that there be some big update with eastern or Pacific front that will be well advertised and it will bring back the playerbase. Also in my opinion Post Scriptum is in some aspects better than Hell Let Loose. I heard it have some problems with new owners so maybe that somehow affect Post Scriptum.
I wish the CEO would say at least something. And I wonder what Offworld is doing? Are they doing anything behind the scenes... To me it really is the best WW2 Shooter/MilSim.
I remember my first experience in this game was when the game was populated at 2 in the morning (UK) and I came across an American server. Jumped in. Immediately full. Running over a road with about 20 paratroopers and we're all just having a cozy chat, then the moment we went to cross an open field 2 MG 42's started lighting us up. Pitch black. Tracers everywhere. People screaming in local chat in confusion and I died moments later. Hell of an experience. Shame I got to this game so late.
sad to see this go, i remember buying it on my old laptop when seeing it get shown to the public for the first time and played it ever sice till recently on my pc. i even convinced friends to get this in lockdown and had extreme fun in tanks. you will be missed
It is strange when developers can't seem to objectively view the problems with the design. Ready Or Not is a perfect example of tunnel vision by the developers.
you either do everything your community wants and ruin your game ,or you dont listen to the community and ruin your game. game devs havent figured out that there is an inbetween.
@@selectionn the in between is the people with autism who can connect patterns where there shouldn't even be any. It's almost like we were build with a spectrum in our genes.
@@arandomcommenter412 It is good but lacks a few things that would make it a "perfect" follow up to Swat 3 or Swat 4. The game doesn't scale to how many players are in game in multiplayer. It is always filled with too many enemies in giant maps. It needs to give the players the ability to choose how many suspects and civilians there are in any given map. The single player command menu isn't in multiplayer so you can only give verbal commands on Voip to your team mates. Swat 3/4 had both. No AI officer backup in multiplayer if you don't have a full team of 5 players as officers. I personally don't like the magic doors that open both ways. Part of the greatness of Swat 3 was the fact that doors only opened one way (like real life) and it really matters what side your team stacked up on.
i remember how i preordered this game for highest price but on launch on lowest graphic settings i had like 20 fps when newest bf was stable 60 on ultra. but yeah that didnt stop people from telling me i have bad pc
It’s a shame I never got to play this game man.. I always wanted to build a PC so I can experience this game since I got to play HLL on PS5. I’m glad everyone else at least got to have those awesome memories
i still remember how people in the closed beta complained on the PS discord that theyre PC with a 1080ti (top of the line GPU back then) and 32gb of Ram could not run the game bcs of a bug with the rendering that caused a massivie memory leak
This will in my opinion always be the greatest first-person shooter I have ever played. The camaraderie I felt leading those people in-game and teaching people how to get good will never leave my mind. It is so sad to see such a good dev team spilt apart like that and for what? We had a fine damn community. I really wanted to finish college and work for the dev team too! I guess I will post this in the hopes that it will inspire anyone to take on what this game left us. 10/10 thanks for the fun.
I bought this game because of one of your videos right after the US factions were introduced. Since then I have put over 1000 hours into PS and have loved (almost) every moment. It's really sad to see its demise.
Hey Nano, I was a founding member of Gamma Co, we had one of the bigger NA servers at one point in PS and the game was honestly one of my favorites. The community was brilliant for about a year. I think the big failure (as you mentioned) was the devs. I don't even think it was the publisher. We had multiple conversations with the devs about the issues in the game and the lack of publicity for it. These happened around the time they were working on that vehicle rework. The spent MONTHS on that vehicle overhaul and it was... fine. Not only was it a marginal improvement, but it also only touched those people that actually used vehicles (which I usually didn't, because I preferred the squad based infantry content). The absolute disregard for community feedback and requests for changes by the devs is what killed the game to me. They were both dismissive and condescending to our guys that went to talk with them, and it blew my mind that they would shut us down and say stuff to the effect of "No way, this vehicle overhaul is what's needed, all those things you mentioned aren't a big deal". They also refused to put the game on sale to bring new players in. This always surprised me. I think there was one sale before the vehicle overhaul, and they finally caved and put it on sale once it was clear is was about to be dead. We tried our best to keep our server going, and to engage people in the PS community, but it was really a losing battle. Even new players could feel the devs lack of care for the game. Even now, I am still sad that they let a game with so much potential and such a strong community around it wither on the vine. Either way, I appreciate the content you put out, and the efforts you and other PS youtubers/streamers put into this game too. Sorry it ended up the way it did.
I played Post-Scriptum for only like 40-60 hours, but I will forever remember it. The agonising caution with which I scrutated ALL the fucking bushes on the first hours... (to just die from some hidden german somehow) And the question that no other game I played yet has made me ask : "WHERE MUST I SHOOT, SIR ?"
I always loved when you ran across a guy with the M1 and he hip fires all 8, misses you, and you just take a moment to aim and shoot him in the face with your kar98. or bayonet him, even better. damn this game will be missed. Me and the guys had a riot in this game regularly, hunting through the woods in arnhem, chasing after the roving armour with the piat, being utterly crap in a tank and getting annihilated, holding the hotel against all who came for us. Gold.
I really hope one day some new dev will pick it up and revive it, change the direction its going in because I can only see this game lasting maybe another year maybe two. It is one of the best ww2 fps games ever made. Ive had some great times on it. I would get me and my friends to work on it but we are ill experienced in unreal engine development and not to mention the rights to the game. Very sad thanks post scriptum for giving us the the fun times.
If its a good match its a dirty brutal fight. If it's a bad one its a 10 min walk to get headshot because mobile spawns are in bad places/ squad lead didnt place a rally. (I havent played in months though so might have changed.)
It's a pity that a game that had gone some extra steps to add "setup" for Battle of France in 1940 instead of being all about Panthers, bazookas and IS-2's like all other WWII flavoured titles is left behind by devs.
Very much agree with you on Gameplay decisions. I have always been of the mind that FPS sims have to be as realistic as possible. However I think either I am getting soft in my old age or I do feel now that you can keep a game realistic and most importantly realistic and faithful to time period, weapons, uniforms etc. But you have to bend at times to balance for fun and fairness as it is a video game in the end. Battlefield sacrifices to far one way and Arma the other for me at least. I feel somewhere in that part of the spectrum is a huge potential game.
Man thats sad When squad became too big for my PC i started playing post scriptum since it was at least playable. Knowing its basically dead or dying at the very least is sad to see
This game is not dead, play it nearly every day. But the statement is correct. it do not have 50fully populated servers. it has maybe 3full at a weekend some partial filled, 1-2 in the week, and mostly evening/night. I will agree to not buy before you are are absulotly sure about it, but bring some friends if you do, becuse its really fun. You can play like a millsim or you can just vibe around and have fun. The community are still making maps and we have mods that fix some of the maps. If we the players stick around and play the game and have fun, the game will not die. if players give up and plays COD istead the game will for sure die. Its us the players who decide if the game is dead or not, not the devs, not random influensers, its we who play the game. If all of us that has the game will log in and play, we can fill the servers, we can make the publisher/dev belive in it again, we can change this. Maybe even make other publishers developers see that this game/genere is somthing to belive in. We have other games like it but I think PS has something more to offer then the other games. Problem of compering it to HLL, Enlisted, arma 3 mods, is that they are diffrent games based on differnt ideas. its like compering an apple to an orange, sure they are both fruits but so? *shameless plug: for more random content of PS, check out my and my friends channel @qebek*
About your closing statement, particularly the second bit, I would think headshots would make sense putting players in an unrevivable state, as with dismemberment, but I think that particular point would work had they a lot more players, i.e. enough for 30-60 to steadily charge an objective, which would bring its own issues (unreasonable amount of corpses for one imo)... I figure dedicated logistic lines would also have been more useful in that situation, as the loss of them would mean far less players can join the charge or hold a point, as battles are prolonged and ground is captured and lost. I suppose it would then suffer the same issues with Planetside 2, and Zergs of people charging individual points across the map farming kills... I suppose the lethality of weapons, limited tickets, and an increased player-cap would have greatly enhanced gameplay as players would have to be far more strategic than in Planetside, and are greatly rewarded for the amount of accurate headshots they made. I figure the final improvement would be to limit the number of snipers, or have an in-game promotion system either based on time spent on a server or total game runtime (such as snipers moving up after or with the front line troops). Of course, the above is no more than my theory as to why some features are the way they are or what the devs might have planned, and my opinion on how the gameplay could have been improved with what features are already in it. Still it would need work, and I believe fervently that anything short of a IP buyout would not help to revive the game production. I bought the key for this from a reputable site for under $7, which is the only reason I bought it. I bought Arma 3 at either full or sale price, including most the dlcs; I am content with Arma being my main shooter game, hence why I never bought this one or Squad (which is still near full price on the site I use, if not 20 dollars more lol). I do plan on buying Squad and Hell Let Loose, as well as several other shooters, but playability and enjoyment are questionable variables while financial variables are far more uncompromising at present.
From the few times I ever played Post Scriptum, it really is such a great game honestly. It was from this game that I eventually took to Squad to take my experiences further with the idea of playing in squads and it's been fun. While I know there's barely even a chance for this game to make a come back somehow, I'm still hoping atleast.
The bitter irony is this game was vigorously suppressed by certain content creators who had exclusivity deals with another game.... only for that other game to crash and burn not long after the Post Scriptum devs threw in the towel. Now the best WW2 milsim is no longer being developed, and the other one has become utter dogsh*t and is being abandoned by its player base. (Notice how those content creators all of a sudden went _real_ quiet about the other game.)

it depend your tastes...if you love the realism, the immersiv simulation, the human experience on a battlefield. The best choice is Post Scriptum. But he is abandonned.
@@idrinkmilk282 hello, you look like to be a random player .
Post scriptum is HLL's dad. He deserv some respect please, and read my comment above.
Be smart.
Friendship, your dad
Man I have over 1000hrs in this game and it’s one of the few games where I do not regret playing it that much at all, I either remember matches that were so intense where every push and defence counted, with such amazing squad communication. Or it was a hilarious fuckfest of gore and ridiculous antics. Man I’m going to miss this game. RIP.
I'm one of the only active armor players in PS anymore, I came on a bit late but it's not quite dead yet! I want to keep this game alive for as long as possible because there's nothing else like it on the market yet.
I'd play armor more if the armor squad leads weren't so toxic.
Post scriptum is back!! The devs were all fired and overall it was abounded but recently a new development team has picked it up and is now being worked on
07 post scriptum, you will be missed
Post scriptum is literally THE BEST WWII shooter ever, it saddens me so much that I cant stop thinking about it, its like a family member passed away and theres constant memories in my head that i cant get rid of, hell let loose cant even come close to what PS delivered, Rest In Peace Post Scriptum, i hope someday you will be renewed 🙏😔😔
What happened to it?
@@copperhead6132 the game used to have an amazing amount of players, enough to have huge battles and even bayonet charges, now the game is literally dead, well, some people do occasionally play, but the amount of players have dropped so badly it's just such a waste of a beautiful game
While reading your thoughts on why the game failed, i realised how many of those things can apply to Hell let Loose right now. Hope it doesn't end the same way:(
Yeah... about that...
You do know that the original devs of Hell Let Loose sold their rights to the game to Team17, right? All recent updates since end of 2022 are anything but reassuring 💀
@@alejochol9397 And lets not talk about that horrible trailer they released.
@@alejochol9397 oh yeah, i know about the supposed new team of experienced developers and all that. The game is a fucking gem but somehow they manage to take some really stupid decisions:(
Trust me it will go down that route… I already stopped because of all the super annoying bugs. The k98 not shooting for example that has been in the game for almost a year now….
I tried HLL but i can play it because im so used to post scriptum...
Its officially back everyone, Acquired by OWI and back to life
I have so many fond memories of this game. Literal days spent playing this. HLL basically replaced this and although the graphics were better in HLL the gameplay is much more solid in PS. Also this game still has the best sound design I've ever heard.
I would love to see the devs gift this game to the community to own and maintain.
That would be truly something.
Post Scriptum will be one of those games that you will never forget.
With the friends/clans that you've meet along the way.
Was epic.
Echoes of the past 😢
man i spent 1k hours on this game, i was in a team it was such good times. I'm so sad it ended up like that. I remember 2020 when the chapter 3 got released it was insane
As a WWII enthusiast in the history of it, along with books, movies, even toys, and especially the video games, it's a hobby/interest I love to a day-to-day basis.
Post Scriptum will be a game that I'll never forget, one of the best WWII games I played.
Especially when playing the Airborne maps and D-Day. The memories and excitement that rushed through my veins when I played it, learning from a simple foot soldier, to tanks, logistics, and squad leading.
It was this game that got me into Squad as well.
But once I heard the news on the Dev team being laid off, it was heartbreaking. This game with surely be missed for me.❤❤❤
Post Scriptum was a masterpiece and suffered from no marketing.
That and no optimization, that is why I stopped playing.
POST SCRIPTUM DON'T DIE ON ME, I HAVEN'T BOUGHT YOU YET
offworld from squad has now completely taken over the development of the game now. itll be revived soon my friend
Rip best ww2 game. It was so fun when it was alive. Its so much better than hell let loose.
They are both owned by the same devs. I wonder why the competition died
@@TheJadedWolfLadCEO decided to be cool and kicked all PS dev team
They have different devices and publishers. PS is made by Periscope Games and published by Offworld Industries. HLL was developed by black matter who sold it to team17.
It’s okay to be wrong.
@@Celebana what
Love your vids Nano, keep up the good work! ❤
OWI purchased the rights to this game and it's coming back!
Ngl i read goodbye and saw nano's name and felt really sad that i thought he was quitting youtube , but then i read the rest and felt a rush of relief and joy
There's "abandoned by the devs" and then there's "the devs were quietly fired"
personally i always thought that the canteen being used to refill stamina was a good feature because you have to walk so much. i kinda wish quad had it ngl
Last time I checked Squad had constant stamina recover 3x that of PS WITH canteen used, so not really needed. In PS you killed yourself if you ran out of canteen, had a long way to go and there was no resupply close.
We are back in business boy!!!
HELL FUCKIN YEEEAAAAH
It sucks that Post Scriptum lost to Hell Let Loose seeing as Post Scriptum is better in every conceivable way.
Obviously not in the sells department.
yeah so sad people prefer HLL over PS :( HLL is so Arcady spawn die spawn die or maybe its just my taste and im used to playing PS so HLL looks like COD to me or BF.
I don't think it's fair to compare the two. I always see people criticising one game for not doing something that it wasn't supposed to do in the first place! People will say that HLL is better cuz the gameplay is more smooth and engaging - well, Post Scriptum's gameplay, coming from Project Reality and Squad isn't supposed to be smooth. It's supposed to be slow and clunky and a bit grueling at times to be more realistic. It's a pace some people (me) enjoy and some don't. It's like comparing KOTH servers to milsim ops in Arma. Or how people shit on HLL for not being realistic or being arcady - but that's the fucking point! It was supposed to be a semi-realistic, semi-arcadey game that the majority of gamers not used to milsim can enjoy. You can only really compare things like performance or graphics or dev involvement (and maybe map layout, but that's quite controversial I'd say) but gameplay wise it's surprisingly very different and for a reason.
@@buckplug2423 hey i know bro but PS is dying and i have 1.5K hours of total chaotic fun in that game. I will be one of those people who will keep on reminding the existence of post scriptum on hell let loose videos. Because i know people are playing hell let loose more, because of PS bad marketing, mostly noone knows of its existence(PS), and those who do go in PS see empty servers and jump to HLL.
Just sad.
I also cant find any other simulator with the sound design of post scriptum. Even its visuals are top noch, just the environment is poorer because its level design is poor.
Both games are fine i just cant play HLL so im radical about PS xD
@@WolverineMKD You should try Project Reality. It has way worse graphics as it's a really really advanced BF2 mod (it uses its own engine now, but still) - I mean it isn't ugly, but definitely dated - and the sound design, while good, doesn't compare to PS. But gameplay wise and especially community wise it's very similar - I mean hell, Squad derives from it. And it's really really polished at this point, since it's been around since 2008 or maybe even 2005, don't recall now, and there's soooo much content on it - WWII, Vietnam, Chechen War, Palestine, Africa and a ton of modern fictional conflicts. Even the Falklands War. Not to mention a couple of insurgent factions for the Insurgency mode. Almost everybody uses a mic and there are a ton of good squad leaders who know their shit. And it's relatively active - around 100-200 in-game players with 100 man servers (which is my only gripe - often a server is full and there's nothing else). If that sounds like something you'd enjoy, give it a try - it's free and runs on a toaster.
The worst part is this isnt the only gane to suffer such a fate
Beyond the Wire pretty much died at arrival
@@SmokeDog1871 except the devs wherent fired they legit just took the money from initial sales and whent on vacation for a month and said fuck the game
@@thetrav2100 Where did you learn this? Or is it just trust me bro ?
@@WolverineMKD id rather not name names lol but now that i think about it, they maybey did get fired after they pulled that stunt idk who the bosses boss is or any of that i just know somebody that knows the story
now the best part is beginning the player base will take over
this game did a good job with the particle effects when things get shot, looks so good with the dust and small debris flying everywhere from bullet impacts.
I love you Nano keep up the good work ❤
never felt so emotional reading a video title from nano
that sniper shot on the dude in the 2nd floor window, felt different, like a movie, augh (pufferfish noises)
IT'S COMING BACK ❤ Better and stronger than ever, Can't wait to see the road map for 2024
Really sad Post Scriptum was abandoned but that seems to be the trend of these squad like WW2 games. Really the only option right now is Hell Let Loose but even them are going through their own problems. Maybe its WW2 fatigue again? I hope they do a squad game in a different era maybe vietnam or something because right now the formula like games like these is a formula or FAILURE.
Yeah someone should start making a Vietnam or Cold War tactical shooter. There are many other conflicts to exploit. There are more and more failed and stalled WW2 games.
Hll isn't only option there is enlisted, rising storm 1, and best ww2 game ever Red orchestra which is still alive
@@mrmakhno3030 we already had a vietnam squad-like FPS. it failed already a while ago. Rising Storm Vietnam was the name. Fun game but its pretty much dead.
also day of infamy is another ww2 game that died, to add to the list.
RIP Post Scriptum - it was one of the few games that got me through 2020 during Covid and had a lot of great experiences in it that I still remember to this day. It's always tragic when a game gets abandoned, especially one with a passionate player base.
I really hope for this game to take a right turn. I actually bought this game before Squad, mostly because of Nano vids. Also I really like WW2 games (obviously). I sincerely hope that this game will get fixed and filled with a big fanbase. I like to belive that there be some big update with eastern or Pacific front that will be well advertised and it will bring back the playerbase.
Also in my opinion Post Scriptum is in some aspects better than Hell Let Loose. I heard it have some problems with new owners so maybe that somehow affect Post Scriptum.
Yes Periscope definitely lacked a big marketing campaign. They had a few promotional videos that were so fucking cool but not much exposure, sadly.
Its such a tragedy what happened to this gem of a game. We can only hope that something just as big if not better takes its place.
I wish the CEO would say at least something. And I wonder what Offworld is doing? Are they doing anything behind the scenes...
To me it really is the best WW2 Shooter/MilSim.
Same
I remember my first experience in this game was when the game was populated at 2 in the morning (UK) and I came across an American server. Jumped in. Immediately full. Running over a road with about 20 paratroopers and we're all just having a cozy chat, then the moment we went to cross an open field 2 MG 42's started lighting us up. Pitch black. Tracers everywhere. People screaming in local chat in confusion and I died moments later. Hell of an experience. Shame I got to this game so late.
one of the saddest deaths of a game. so much potential gone :(
I hopped on to Post Scriptum this past week. There was only one server that was full. The one had one person on. It’s sad too see it.
Pick up that phone, because I called it.
Really glad to see more people trying to get post scriptum a try again. It needs playerbase reboot.
sad to see this go, i remember buying it on my old laptop when seeing it get shown to the public for the first time and played it ever sice till recently on my pc. i even convinced friends to get this in lockdown and had extreme fun in tanks. you will be missed
It is strange when developers can't seem to objectively view the problems with the design. Ready Or Not is a perfect example of tunnel vision by the developers.
you either do everything your community wants and ruin your game ,or you dont listen to the community and ruin your game.
game devs havent figured out that there is an inbetween.
@@selectionn the in between is the people with autism who can connect patterns where there shouldn't even be any. It's almost like we were build with a spectrum in our genes.
Campfire games are good devs, they still understand what they need to do
What’s wrong with ready or not? I wanted to buy it sometime in the future.
@@arandomcommenter412 It is good but lacks a few things that would make it a "perfect" follow up to Swat 3 or Swat 4.
The game doesn't scale to how many players are in game in multiplayer. It is always filled with too many enemies in giant maps. It needs to give the players the ability to choose how many suspects and civilians there are in any given map.
The single player command menu isn't in multiplayer so you can only give verbal commands on Voip to your team mates. Swat 3/4 had both.
No AI officer backup in multiplayer if you don't have a full team of 5 players as officers.
I personally don't like the magic doors that open both ways. Part of the greatness of Swat 3 was the fact that doors only opened one way (like real life) and it really matters what side your team stacked up on.
i remember how i preordered this game for highest price but on launch on lowest graphic settings i had like 20 fps when newest bf was stable 60 on ultra. but yeah that didnt stop people from telling me i have bad pc
2:03 tbh that's some clean ass saving private ryan scene right there where u predicting where could the tiger's turret is be rotating at
9:14 That line is biblical, but i have a funny feeling it comes from a war movie as well.
I remember on deciding on whether to buy this or hll. Glad i chose the latter
Nano I love watching your videos! You make me crack up so hard
It’s a shame I never got to play this game man.. I always wanted to build a PC so I can experience this game since I got to play HLL on PS5. I’m glad everyone else at least got to have those awesome memories
i still remember how people in the closed beta complained on the PS discord that theyre PC with a 1080ti (top of the line GPU back then) and 32gb of Ram could not run the game
bcs of a bug with the rendering that caused a massivie memory leak
I love your delivery.
I never got to play this before it more or less died.
Been playing Hell Let Loose
I also feel that HLL is also pixel hunting too, my eyes hurt after an hour of it too.
Nano sounds like he's ahout to fall asleep half the time
This will in my opinion always be the greatest first-person shooter I have ever played. The camaraderie I felt leading those people in-game and teaching people how to get good will never leave my mind. It is so sad to see such a good dev team spilt apart like that and for what? We had a fine damn community. I really wanted to finish college and work for the dev team too! I guess I will post this in the hopes that it will inspire anyone to take on what this game left us. 10/10 thanks for the fun.
"We're driving from WW2, we're gonna get there by the Cold War"
I died.
I bought this game because of one of your videos right after the US factions were introduced. Since then I have put over 1000 hours into PS and have loved (almost) every moment. It's really sad to see its demise.
Hey Nano, I was a founding member of Gamma Co, we had one of the bigger NA servers at one point in PS and the game was honestly one of my favorites. The community was brilliant for about a year. I think the big failure (as you mentioned) was the devs. I don't even think it was the publisher. We had multiple conversations with the devs about the issues in the game and the lack of publicity for it. These happened around the time they were working on that vehicle rework. The spent MONTHS on that vehicle overhaul and it was... fine.
Not only was it a marginal improvement, but it also only touched those people that actually used vehicles (which I usually didn't, because I preferred the squad based infantry content). The absolute disregard for community feedback and requests for changes by the devs is what killed the game to me. They were both dismissive and condescending to our guys that went to talk with them, and it blew my mind that they would shut us down and say stuff to the effect of "No way, this vehicle overhaul is what's needed, all those things you mentioned aren't a big deal".
They also refused to put the game on sale to bring new players in. This always surprised me. I think there was one sale before the vehicle overhaul, and they finally caved and put it on sale once it was clear is was about to be dead. We tried our best to keep our server going, and to engage people in the PS community, but it was really a losing battle. Even new players could feel the devs lack of care for the game. Even now, I am still sad that they let a game with so much potential and such a strong community around it wither on the vine.
Either way, I appreciate the content you put out, and the efforts you and other PS youtubers/streamers put into this game too. Sorry it ended up the way it did.
NANO, Post Scriptum got handed to another company! Its coming back! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
always a good day when Nano uploads
I completely agree with the notes at the end of the video. Now I just wish we had a WW2 mod for Squad, like PS was originally meant to be.

I played Post-Scriptum for only like 40-60 hours, but I will forever remember it. The agonising caution with which I scrutated ALL the fucking bushes on the first hours... (to just die from some hidden german somehow)
And the question that no other game I played yet has made me ask : "WHERE MUST I SHOOT, SIR ?"
i still remember watching the trailers in 2017 like it was yesterday. this is a game I'll remember forever for sure.
There's one server for Australia and I don't even know if it's populated at all anymore :( very sad times
My heart hurts man
Post Scriptum is a beautiful name.
This video is probably going to age like milk, since Post Scriptum finally has developers working on the game
I always loved when you ran across a guy with the M1 and he hip fires all 8, misses you, and you just take a moment to aim and shoot him in the face with your kar98. or bayonet him, even better. damn this game will be missed. Me and the guys had a riot in this game regularly, hunting through the woods in arnhem, chasing after the roving armour with the piat, being utterly crap in a tank and getting annihilated, holding the hotel against all who came for us. Gold.
Nano vids are the best way to start the wknd
I really hope one day some new dev will pick it up and revive it, change the direction its going in because I can only see this game lasting maybe another year maybe two. It is one of the best ww2 fps games ever made. Ive had some great times on it. I would get me and my friends to work on it but we are ill experienced in unreal engine development and not to mention the rights to the game. Very sad thanks post scriptum for giving us the the fun times.
If it goes how many other games go modders will fix it like they did with Northstar for Titanfall or People recreating old games in general
well , i want to cry loud
The machinegunner having a panic attack from you ALMOST lighting him up hollering "mommy!" cracked me up 😂
I never played both but for me Post Scriptum looks more fun than Hell let loose. The sounds, the brutality. It is more immersive I feel.
Post scriptum is way less arcady than hell let loose yes. People also communicate much more.
If its a good match its a dirty brutal fight. If it's a bad one its a 10 min walk to get headshot because mobile spawns are in bad places/ squad lead didnt place a rally. (I havent played in months though so might have changed.)
I love when Nano adds freeze-frames of incoming projectiles
It's a pity that a game that had gone some extra steps to add "setup" for Battle of France in 1940 instead of being all about Panthers, bazookas and IS-2's like all other WWII flavoured titles is left behind by devs.
Hello Post Scriptum! We're baaaack!
Very much agree with you on Gameplay decisions. I have always been of the mind that FPS sims have to be as realistic as possible. However I think either I am getting soft in my old age or I do feel now that you can keep a game realistic and most importantly realistic and faithful to time period, weapons, uniforms etc. But you have to bend at times to balance for fun and fairness as it is a video game in the end. Battlefield sacrifices to far one way and Arma the other for me at least. I feel somewhere in that part of the spectrum is a huge potential game.
You a great man Nano
Man thats sad
When squad became too big for my PC i started playing post scriptum since it was at least playable. Knowing its basically dead or dying at the very least is sad to see
I'm glad this video is in fact not the end of Post Scriptum and was premature (good video though).
Post Scriptum is back and with sht ton of players :D
-Which bush is german?
-Oh shit
*dies*
The saving private Ryan reference in he whom I trust, got me cracking up
Zeta mainstream sounds like a guy who would punch him-self in the face befor entering a bar fight.
This game is not dead, play it nearly every day. But the statement is correct. it do not have 50fully populated servers. it has maybe 3full at a weekend some partial filled, 1-2 in the week, and mostly evening/night. I will agree to not buy before you are are absulotly sure about it, but bring some friends if you do, becuse its really fun. You can play like a millsim or you can just vibe around and have fun. The community are still making maps and we have mods that fix some of the maps. If we the players stick around and play the game and have fun, the game will not die. if players give up and plays COD istead the game will for sure die. Its us the players who decide if the game is dead or not, not the devs, not random influensers, its we who play the game. If all of us that has the game will log in and play, we can fill the servers, we can make the publisher/dev belive in it again, we can change this. Maybe even make other publishers developers see that this game/genere is somthing to belive in. We have other games like it but I think PS has something more to offer then the other games. Problem of compering it to HLL, Enlisted, arma 3 mods, is that they are diffrent games based on differnt ideas. its like compering an apple to an orange, sure they are both fruits but so?
*shameless plug: for more random content of PS, check out my and my friends channel @qebek*
Damn
About your closing statement, particularly the second bit, I would think headshots would make sense putting players in an unrevivable state, as with dismemberment, but I think that particular point would work had they a lot more players, i.e. enough for 30-60 to steadily charge an objective, which would bring its own issues (unreasonable amount of corpses for one imo)... I figure dedicated logistic lines would also have been more useful in that situation, as the loss of them would mean far less players can join the charge or hold a point, as battles are prolonged and ground is captured and lost. I suppose it would then suffer the same issues with Planetside 2, and Zergs of people charging individual points across the map farming kills... I suppose the lethality of weapons, limited tickets, and an increased player-cap would have greatly enhanced gameplay as players would have to be far more strategic than in Planetside, and are greatly rewarded for the amount of accurate headshots they made. I figure the final improvement would be to limit the number of snipers, or have an in-game promotion system either based on time spent on a server or total game runtime (such as snipers moving up after or with the front line troops).
Of course, the above is no more than my theory as to why some features are the way they are or what the devs might have planned, and my opinion on how the gameplay could have been improved with what features are already in it. Still it would need work, and I believe fervently that anything short of a IP buyout would not help to revive the game production. I bought the key for this from a reputable site for under $7, which is the only reason I bought it. I bought Arma 3 at either full or sale price, including most the dlcs; I am content with Arma being my main shooter game, hence why I never bought this one or Squad (which is still near full price on the site I use, if not 20 dollars more lol).
I do plan on buying Squad and Hell Let Loose, as well as several other shooters, but playability and enjoyment are questionable variables while financial variables are far more uncompromising at present.
I’m so glad I got to enjoy this game from the beginning to end. Still my favorite over hell let loose
I loved Post Scriptum, it was a dream come true for me with the WW2 realism it portrayed. I just dont have time to play anymore.
From the few times I ever played Post Scriptum, it really is such a great game honestly. It was from this game that I eventually took to Squad to take my experiences further with the idea of playing in squads and it's been fun. While I know there's barely even a chance for this game to make a come back somehow, I'm still hoping atleast.
3:15 modest peli in post scriptum confirmed
My building is completely surrounded......uh oh
Shame to see the game in this state :( I remember playing with you during the release of the D-Day chapter in 2020
The bitter irony is this game was vigorously suppressed by certain content creators who had exclusivity deals with another game.... only for that other game to crash and burn not long after the Post Scriptum devs threw in the towel. Now the best WW2 milsim is no longer being developed, and the other one has become utter dogsh*t and is being abandoned by its player base. (Notice how those content creators all of a sudden went _real_ quiet about the other game.)
