True, but 30,000 players is alive, that's competing with Destiny 2, Rocket League, Cyberpunk and more that are considered to still be popular. The games player count just went downnnn quite fast
@@Nadestraight Rocket League is on epic games and consoles. Destiny and Cyberpunk are on a bunch of different platforms and consoles. Steam player counts aren't indicitive of actual playerbase for those games. Spectre Divide is PC only and steam only.
People set their expectations too high. This game to me was never meant to overtake CSGO or Valorant. It's actually a great game, but too many people like to "LUL VALORANT" LUL CSGO" it to death. Lots just want to see it fail because it has Shroud's name attached to it, but for it to be the devs first game ever, I think they've done a great job.
It looks like they r low on funds forcing them to lunch early and the outrageous high pricing is just desperation. Plus the lack of marketing is telling.
I think everyone should immediately stop supporting games that have flaws WHILE the skins/bundles are expensive. Just greedy developers, they should probably go work at MCdonalds for a while to learn how to earn money the hard way and then come back to provide actual value with extras for a REASONABLE price
Shroud is not even making videos for the game that he is supposed to promote, he is making BO6, Deadlock and Steampunk videos. Spectre Divide is obviously not as cool as he thought since he is not making much content about his own game, he understands that it is boring to watch and thus you have lost the competitive scene because people need to be interested in watching to make it a popular steaming game. The current playerbase is 179-568 and Shroud ignores his own game, it is more fun to play mega popular games such as BO6.
Lets be honest the game is actually pretty solid and the idea with the 2 bodies 1 mind is something fresh but it cant compete against counter strike or valorant and both options are better on so many ways without shrouds name the game would be already dead on release with shrouds name its like half alive half dead but to say it in a more simple way ... actually more people play Russian Fishing 4 than Spectre Divide and for me it was a really big mistake of them to start with this absurd skin prices.... I mean come on 120 $ for a skin package with an ugly af knife skin... and pretty mid gun skins and yes they changed the prices but only because the wave of negative comments was way too big still the prices are way too high 90 $ for the same shit is insane not even riot wanted that much money
@@oDiiJei What are you talking? Of course riot got more expensive bundles but also more cheap ones And especially when valorant was new the bundles like prime or reaver looked 100 times better and they wanted 70€ And this game is brand new from a small studio and they wanted directly 90€ for an awful bundle I don’t say valorant is cheap of course not But even greedy riot did not sell the skins that insane high
@@jan5023 brotherman you mentioned Riot. Some of the League skins make this look like a deal lmao! anyway didn't come here to argue, i get you. your sentiment has been echoed many times
I mean judging by the UI it looked like a blatant Valorant copy which made me write it off as Molotovs look like Kay/o or KJ nades and When you plant the little bar that appears is the same, ADS is the same, buy screen is very similar, when you throw nades the ui shows the alternative throw you can do and that looks the same, when you’re looking at the damage you did vs what you did is similar
The fact shroud has been streaming deadlock instead should say enough about which game is more fun. Its not even that this game is bad, deadlock is just way to fun
@@Squidgy55 Oh boy, wait until you find out that 90% of the people who do gaming news don't actually play the games. (Just to explain why: There's no need. The video is not "my opinion of the gameplay", it's a collection of feedback, reviews and news I gathered online from other people. There is no need for me to play the game, my opinion of it doesn't matter for this video)
Why do you make a video about a game that you don't know in this fashion? It's all hearsay at this point and you should at least do a basic amount of research yourself so you know if the game you are talking about has an anti-cheat or not. You need at least a fundamental understanding of the game you are talking about in order to evaluate the reviews, instead of just listing what people said in the steam reviews. No offense but i really dislike people talking about stuff like they know a big deal about it when in fact they haven't even tried or seen it themselves. It's not completely wrong but it could be for all you know.
I did the research... reddit forums, twitter posts/ comments, steam reviews, and comments on other youtube videos. The ONLY thing I wasn't 100% on was anticheat. So no, it's not all hearsay, it's 90% "The vast majority say" I'm assuming you're a player of this game and just want to defend it? That's what this comments screams to me.
@@Nadestraight i played for a bit but i am not really that amazed rn and still prefer other Games. As a matter if fact i dont defend the game itself. I am just pointing out that you are talking about a game you havent played yourself. Youre just quoting redditusers and steamreviews without any own insight. And sure u can do that but i dont like that uninformed content. I mean it is not hard to find out if there is an anti cheat, is it? All i am saying is that if you want to talk about smth you better put some hours into it beforehand instead of just repeating negative things you read in comments somewhere because that still is hearsay, no matter how many of those you read.
@@krisztiankiss5105 I was just offering constructive criticism. Calling someone a „virgin gamer“ on the other hand might just be about picking a fight. Stop projecting mate LMFAO
the game is honestly pretty good, i just think the day one was kinda bad because server issues. if people had actually took the time to try it and understand the game or had stuck with the game longer than 1 hour of play time (which was on day one of the game]. i want more game modes and honestly wish this was a 4v4 intead of the 3v3 casue u can play with more off your firends but i like it for what it is. not saying there are no issues but they are not as bad as some people swear they are. i love cs and i honestly could never have fun with valorant but this is actually a super good game and i wish people had the attention span to give it a chance instead of saying "imagine playing this over valorant" without even playing the game or giving it a fair chance. val is backed by riot, and cs is backed by valve, this is a small inde dev team so it is not going to be as polished off the rip as those games but they got a gem on their hands and if they stick with it i see something great coming.
A lot of the reviews I'm seeing, and some I posted in this video are from people with 10+ hours on the game, so I'd say that's a fair amount of time to judge the game and leave your thoughts. So I don't think the whole "if people took the time to try and understand the game" thing really applies to everyone. To some, it sure does, there will be a few that play 30 mins and dip, but you get that with every game these days especially multiplayer fps titles. And regarding it being by a small studio, I can tell you as a gamedev myself (I've worked on 3 games, over the last 5 years) nobody cares. That's the harsh reality, the vast majority of people just do not care how long it took, how small the team was, how much of your own money you spent making it, etc. They only care about the end product.
The comment I made earlier is poofed so here is the general idea of what I said; From playing the game during Alpha phase the buying system was annoying, the performance was horrible (I blamed it on the alpha stage thinking this game was a long way away from releasing (i was wrong)) teammates leaving (don't blame them) having two lives being inconvenient, movement feeling poor, gunplay feeling bad, the game didn't feel polished and was basically Valorant with two lives aka Phoenix from Valorant, and it just ain't unique enough to make me want to play this over it's much more polished competitors. This needed to be in a few more years of development at most, the game feels unfinished when playing
I believe that they released the game way too early. Literally immediately after playtesting without even updating a thing. Same bugs since playtest. I understand that they didn't want to kill the hype, but man, everything is sloppy, laggy movements, unbalanced guns. On top of that, they should have kept the skin pricing as low as possible (that's why I personally chose not to play the game anymore - high price at the very start of the released game indicates that they are having a difficult time making a profit = extremely high chance of failure if they are charging more than Valorant does).
They wouldn't have killed the hype, so if that was a reason for releasing so fast then I think they made a terrible call. They had shroud working on it, literally a couple streams of him playing along with some videos by big FPS gamers and that's your marketing done to create more hype, and the game clearly needed more time in the oven. Gamers are ruthless these days, if there are bugs and high prices they will rage online and leave bad reviews
honestly have been loving the game, but theres a few things that stick out. for one, movement does not in any way feel good. the thick ass orange borders around the enemy is also a little weird, id rather not see that guy from 50m away through a small crack as i wouldnt want him to see me like that. but my main problem, and this is with every fps, STOP MAKING ALL THE COOL SKINS PAYED. like i get youre a smaller company, but if i want the new cyberlord skin bundle with the skin itself, i have to pay over $50 USD. i would have to buy the $50 bundle and another bundle to get the character that is fucking ridiculous, i can buy a full AAA title for that. and this is after them discounting the shop... idc what anyone says, no skin should cost any more than $10, and even then, that is still ridiculous. i dont know why we let companies do this, genuinely. skins are not actual content, paying the price of a full game for them needs to stop. this is coming from someone that buys every gold edition for games i play, currency packs when i support the company (which id like to do for spectre but i can buy shadow of the erdtree for less than a skin pack...), stupid expensive peripherals, i mean im a consumer lol, and i know many like me feel the same way. we are cool w giving you money, but for fucks sake, at least add nice free skins, and a lot of them. we miss grind based cosmetics, this is why space marine 2 has seen success. however i will say most people are rlly just mad bc bad. the guns honestly feel great, i assume everyone hating came from a hip fire focused fps game, which would make sense. other than the expensive ass skins, thick orange borders practically ruining tactical gameplay, and shitty clunky movement, i have been having a blast in this game. the duality makes for some crazy plays, and if you have played all the popular fps titles and got semi good at them (siege, val, cs, cod, etc.) then you will be a demon in this game. honestly, this is my favorite fps ive played in a long time. a real breath of fresh air. ive seen a couple people say its unoriginal, and to that i say go make an original fps game and come back lol, matter of fact go create anything fully completely original, it is nearly impossible from a fellow creative. this game is original as can be to be honest.
The Finals is a game with great free skins you can earn just by playing the game. And in season 4 they've made new default skins which look fantastic. And the payed ones are usually reasonably priced (and battle pass gives you more than enough currency to buy the next battle pass for free)
Seeing this video right after i uninstalled it. Been Playing Spectre Divide since launch and tbh i found it quite fun. Unfortunately i had to stop because the queue times started being longer and i started matching with the same people over and over again.....
Yeah, I uninstalled it twice in one week. The game is really fun when there isn't performance issues, which SD currently has a lot of, unfortunately. It's a young game, so I understand why it has a lot of its issues, but I am starting to wonder if they rushed a release to get some money back before it fails. Maybe they saw the downtrend in the Beta before the release. I'll try it out again in a couple months just to see if it has fixed a lot of its problems, but I honestly don't think much will change in 5 months, but they have a good idea at its core, so it has earned a second chance in the future.
Great video! I honestly like the game a lot. I don't have connection issues (germany, network buffering turned to minimum idk why). I think the weapons are balanced and it's fresh air overall in the shooter genre. Only thing I hate with all my heart is the amount of griefers and people that just straight up leave. No matter if I queue duo with a friend or solo. Only way to play it properly is as a trio. The solo queue experience is even worse than it is in Rocket League and Valorant. And to have a worse solo queue experience than Valo is an achievement, not a good one tho. I hope the player count rises, the anticheat gets better and griefers get f*#%ed very hard in some way. This game has potential. It is not your ordinary tac shooter or shooter in general and I would love to keep playing it. But how things are rn it's dead and shut down soon rather than growing and evolving into the heavily played game it can and should be. :/
I've never been much of a tac shooter person myself, games such as CS and Valo have never been my thing, I'm much more Arena shooter/ run and gun. The game does seem to have some potential, I think they just released it too early without enough testing. Things like finding out you need to fix connectivity for some players, and core gameplay mechanics not being likeable should be fixed before release. And then like you say, players who leave a ton/ create a bad experience need to be punished, as they will push other players away causing further damage.
@@Nadestraight My "hot" take on the topic that people don't like the core mechanics in this case the puck throw spectre thing is on the people. If they don't like it than it's just not their thing which is ok. Because it's the theme of the game and what makes it unique. But the connection thing I agree 100 %. They should have waited longer, get more servers in various countries and regions and advertise the game more and in better ways. Releasing to early could be the suicide of their game. But I still see a chance there. I mean psyonix pretty much doesn't give a shit about rocket league. They didn't do anything the last years. They made a freaking fortnite game mode that me and my bro can develop drunk in less than two weeks. They took out trading, a CORE feature of the game, never did anything about their horrible servers and people (like me) still play it. Because we know the game is still uniquely beautiful. I hope a lot of people will get this with spectre but they should still fix their game to make it a great one.
Making this video when you haven't even played the game since beta is kinda crazy. Basically everything you stated is just someone else's opinion and 90% of it is a skill issue from their end. Yes there were some bugs and issues but they got fixed super quickly unlike a ton of other games where the bugs are still present months later (xdefiant). The game is great and more people like yourself need to stop writing the game off because of somebody else's opinion that derives from their own lack of skill.
This is such a silly comment. What you're saying here is basically that 40% of people that play the game are bad at it? And that reviews that are discussing bad connection, cheaters, griefers, bugs and more are all just lies? Lmao.
@@Nadestraight I’m saying that you’re regurgitating other people’s opinions and stating them to be fact when most of these issues have already been fixed but you wouldn’t know this because you haven’t played since beta and they haven’t played since the first day. Even Val and cs had issues on their first days. As for cheaters this is a problem for every multiplayer game even valorant and even then they only have the lead bc of the amount of manual bans they do and take downs on cheating discords which also helps a ton of other multiplayer games this one included. And yes I would say most of these negative reviews are from bad players as duality isn’t a easy mechanic to pick up but you know this one well yourself since you participated in the beta
I think it's appealing enough to survive, not appealing enough to be a top game, but enough to get enough players to pay wages etc. But issues like bugs and connection problems are going to hurt it
@@Nadestraight Competitive games like this die very quickly if there isn't a big playerbase on launch because no one wants to grind a game when no one is playing it. Even if the bugs were fixed prior to launch I don't think it would be doing that much better.
I just don't like the whole thing with controlling two different characters, I hated this mechanic in Enlisted. It also doesn't work on Linux, so even if I had interest, I couldn't play it.
@@NadestraightEnlisted had gave you an AI squad and you could swap between soldiers. In theory it sounds cool but in practice, you end up with a small group of actual players just mowing down enemy AI squad mates who are too stupid to even shoot back. It gets boring fast.
It's a very interesting concept, but it's boring and the artstyle is hideous, plus it has so many connectivity issues, i can barely play half a game without my ping exploding into 200 - 400ms out of nowhere, something that does not happen in any other game. Shame, i really wanted to play and love this game, disappointing.
That's very odd, myself and a small team managed to make a game that uses dedicated servers and we never have any huge connectivity issues, and we spent less than $1000 on the networking... lol. Something went very wrong here
Marketing did seem to be pretty bad, the game needed another 6 months in the oven and then they should've really used shroud to market some more, along with doing ads for the trailer etc, I don't think they did any advertising, the trailer has less views than some of my videos 💀
@@Nadestraight I feel the people that have played it like it a lot which I feel is a big indicator but with a smaller studio behind it it’s tough. Hopefully the game grows organically but it’ll need a strong community of its own, players probably aren’t likely to switch fully from Deadlock Val or whatever else is out there as it is rn
At 4:50 you mention that games let you try to requeue after not being able to queue for more than 10 minutes. Can you give me an example, because I've never played a game that tells me to requeue. Just asking out of sheer interest.
Recent games that come to mind would be Halo and Splitgate. Halo Infinite will literally give you a popup after 5 mins that says "Search ended, there may not be enough players" or something along those lines
The fact I didn't even hear about it... LOL
You've not heard of the game AT ALL? Damn... they need to do more marketing
@@Nadestraight Yeah, nope. And this is from somebody on youtube/tiktok daily - who has played Valorant and similar games...
@@Nadestraight Neither have I, same story here as the other guy, also played similar games and on youtube daily.
I guess you could say people are divided on the game
Well played 😂
I thought this game had not come out yet, but i think 5000 people is still a lot it's at least better than concord
Better than concord is not an achievement 💀🤣🤣
a game cant die if it was never alive
True, but 30,000 players is alive, that's competing with Destiny 2, Rocket League, Cyberpunk and more that are considered to still be popular. The games player count just went downnnn quite fast

To be fair, if Deadlock wasn't popping as hard as it is right now, this game would've had a better chance at making a mark.

It's a young game, so I understand why it has a lot of its issues, but I am starting to wonder if they rushed a release to get some money back before it fails. Maybe they saw the downtrend in the Beta before the release. I'll try it out again in a couple months just to see if it has fixed a lot of its problems, but I honestly don't think much will change in 5 months, but they have a good idea at its core, so it has earned a second chance in the future.
Great video! I honestly like the game a lot. I don't have connection issues (germany, network buffering turned to minimum idk why). I think the weapons are balanced and it's fresh air overall in the shooter genre. Only thing I hate with all my heart is the amount of griefers and people that just straight up leave. No matter if I queue duo with a friend or solo. Only way to play it properly is as a trio. The solo queue experience is even worse than it is in Rocket League and Valorant. And to have a worse solo queue experience than Valo is an achievement, not a good one tho. I hope the player count rises, the anticheat gets better and griefers get f*#%ed very hard in some way. This game has potential. It is not your ordinary tac shooter or shooter in general and I would love to keep playing it. But how things are rn it's dead and shut down soon rather than growing and evolving into the heavily played game it can and should be. :/
I've never been much of a tac shooter person myself, games such as CS and Valo have never been my thing, I'm much more Arena shooter/ run and gun.
The game does seem to have some potential, I think they just released it too early without enough testing. Things like finding out you need to fix connectivity for some players, and core gameplay mechanics not being likeable should be fixed before release. And then like you say, players who leave a ton/ create a bad experience need to be punished, as they will push other players away causing further damage.
@@Nadestraight My "hot" take on the topic that people don't like the core mechanics in this case the puck throw spectre thing is on the people. If they don't like it than it's just not their thing which is ok. Because it's the theme of the game and what makes it unique. But the connection thing I agree 100 %. They should have waited longer, get more servers in various countries and regions and advertise the game more and in better ways. Releasing to early could be the suicide of their game.
But I still see a chance there. I mean psyonix pretty much doesn't give a shit about rocket league. They didn't do anything the last years. They made a freaking fortnite game mode that me and my bro can develop drunk in less than two weeks. They took out trading, a CORE feature of the game, never did anything about their horrible servers and people (like me) still play it. Because we know the game is still uniquely beautiful. I hope a lot of people will get this with spectre but they should still fix their game to make it a great one.
peak players as of writing 2,226 players WORLD WIDE, and 738 players playing RIGHT NOW. Just pull the plug on it bro
Peak will be under 1000 by the end of the year
@@Nadestraight 168 players right now 💀
Never even heard of it
Damn, the amount of people saying this... I'm just giving them free marketing aren't I LOL
Greed killed this game. The outrageous prices put a bad taste in my mouth
i think their biggest problem is they released the game WAYYYY TOO DAMN EARLY, making their first impression fucking dogshit
Yeah first impressions matter a lot, you have to market to an entirely new audience a 2nd time if you fail first impressions
Making this video when you haven't even played the game since beta is kinda crazy. Basically everything you stated is just someone else's opinion and 90% of it is a skill issue from their end. Yes there were some bugs and issues but they got fixed super quickly unlike a ton of other games where the bugs are still present months later (xdefiant). The game is great and more people like yourself need to stop writing the game off because of somebody else's opinion that derives from their own lack of skill.
This is such a silly comment. What you're saying here is basically that 40% of people that play the game are bad at it? And that reviews that are discussing bad connection, cheaters, griefers, bugs and more are all just lies? Lmao.
@@Nadestraight I’m saying that you’re regurgitating other people’s opinions and stating them to be fact when most of these issues have already been fixed but you wouldn’t know this because you haven’t played since beta and they haven’t played since the first day. Even Val and cs had issues on their first days. As for cheaters this is a problem for every multiplayer game even valorant and even then they only have the lead bc of the amount of manual bans they do and take downs on cheating discords which also helps a ton of other multiplayer games this one included. And yes I would say most of these negative reviews are from bad players as duality isn’t a easy mechanic to pick up but you know this one well yourself since you participated in the beta
Shrood and Sacriel made a game. What did they expect? lmfao
Shrood
I've never heard of this. Looks bad anyway.
I'm doing more marketing than the actual studio it seems, so many people discovering the game through me haha
It was pretty clear it was going to be a dead game once the beta was launched. It just isn't appealing.
I think it's appealing enough to survive, not appealing enough to be a top game, but enough to get enough players to pay wages etc. But issues like bugs and connection problems are going to hurt it
@@Nadestraight Competitive games like this die very quickly if there isn't a big playerbase on launch because no one wants to grind a game when no one is playing it. Even if the bugs were fixed prior to launch I don't think it would be doing that much better.
I just don't like the whole thing with controlling two different characters, I hated this mechanic in Enlisted.
It also doesn't work on Linux, so even if I had interest, I couldn't play it.
Never heard of Enlisted, but maybe that's because it also wasn't popular due to this mechanic haha
@@NadestraightEnlisted had gave you an AI squad and you could swap between soldiers. In theory it sounds cool but in practice, you end up with a small group of actual players just mowing down enemy AI squad mates who are too stupid to even shoot back. It gets boring fast.
deadlock shadowed this game lol
I read this as "Deadlock swallowed this game" at first... which still makes sense
I tied it I think its bad
It's a very interesting concept, but it's boring and the artstyle is hideous, plus it has so many connectivity issues, i can barely play half a game without my ping exploding into 200 - 400ms out of nowhere, something that does not happen in any other game.
Shame, i really wanted to play and love this game, disappointing.
That's very odd, myself and a small team managed to make a game that uses dedicated servers and we never have any huge connectivity issues, and we spent less than $1000 on the networking... lol. Something went very wrong here
Played 100 hours and quit
100 Hours is a long time to figure out you wanna quit
4K playing right now lmao 10PM EST that's really bad
It'll probably go down to 2k in the next 30 days
Great game, terrible timing and post launch marketing
Marketing did seem to be pretty bad, the game needed another 6 months in the oven and then they should've really used shroud to market some more, along with doing ads for the trailer etc, I don't think they did any advertising, the trailer has less views than some of my videos 💀
@@Nadestraight I feel the people that have played it like it a lot which I feel is a big indicator but with a smaller studio behind it it’s tough. Hopefully the game grows organically but it’ll need a strong community of its own, players probably aren’t likely to switch fully from Deadlock Val or whatever else is out there as it is rn
The genre is too oversaturated
This is what happens, a couple games make big bucks from a genre and everyone copies for the next 4 years
a lot of misinformation you just provided.
What? I literally provided screenshots for any information I delivered, and I barely even delivered any in the first place LOL.
the art style is so forgetable
I've seen a few people saying they like the visuals as opposed to realistic graphics like CS
@@Nadestraight yeh i LOVE art style! it's what made me keep it on my radar when it was announced
:P
🐮
At 4:50 you mention that games let you try to requeue after not being able to queue for more than 10 minutes. Can you give me an example, because I've never played a game that tells me to requeue. Just asking out of sheer interest.
Recent games that come to mind would be Halo and Splitgate. Halo Infinite will literally give you a popup after 5 mins that says "Search ended, there may not be enough players" or something along those lines
