for everyone wondering, yes, the first game did come out recently(ish) and and did not perform well because the 3 total developers did not expect it to be that popular. However, 1047 industries is now a full-blown game development center and split gate 2 will be an awesome sequel
this is gonna be sweet for about a month then will fall off just as hard as splitgate i think, could be wrong but i dont see this as any different that splitgate 1
@@teamjebusI would say a large difference is the pre-release polishing + the fact that they now have an actual development team and funding. I hope this game becomes one of the greats and not just another money grab.
as a person who played splitgate till the END of its time like there were only like 100 players playing. I was saddened that it died but thank god they made a sequel
i really wish the first game didn't die and i was right there with you, theres such a high fast pace skill ceiling, if they tried to keep content pushing people probably would've been more excited to explore the skill gap. At a certain point it stopped being fun for me, because nobody was really competing
honestly it was the lack of players that was holding the game back for me at the very end. I would still be playing it to this day if i could get into a match
This game looks good but i hope it dosent have the same problems as xdefiant like having overtuned abilities or annoying abilities the scan should be needed to the ground or reworked and the Shield needs to be quite frail
Splitgate was the last game I was able to play with my cousins, after that, unfortunately we moved away, I stayed on the console, they were on the PC, and they simply disappeared... But seeing this game come back... brings me happiness
It’s just portal halo. That’s not innovative enough to make a whole generation of games based on it. Fortnite, apex legends, and probably rainbow six siege are this generations most innovative games.
I really hope they keep the personality of each of the characters like they had in the trailer. It's one of the big reasons that team fortress two is still such a large success, and it would be amazing to have another game game with characters having as much personality as that.
Nah bro they better shut the fuck up in gameplay. I’m so sick of hero shooters with quirky characters and obnoxious quips. I just want my Halo arena shooter.
12:58 Honestly... i think i can get some advices about that: 1- Changing the factions' healthbar colors when you shoot them. It may look stupid but trust me, it would be kinda important, and also make it so we change their colors on the options 2- This one is more functional i think, making skins that are pretty flashy and neat, but focus on the faction's specific color. It would make pretty beautiful skins but it would still mantain the balance 3- Create a blue faction... c'mon man I WANT BLUE TOO ;-;
This is a game that might really benefit from cross overs especially if they make them reasonably priced. Giving each faction character specific cross over skins could make the game more fun and goofy well also still being able to tell what each character is
I think one way to tackle the ability to differentiate between different classes while also allowing full customizability would be outline color. Every character has an outline and currently it's just red and blue, but instead enemy team classes could be red, orange, and yellow while your team is still blue or from green to purple. Another one would be to have an option to disable custom cosmetics from a client's view and return it to base models and colors. Also being able to choose the color for different enemy class outlines would be neat!
Actually taking a finals or tf2 approach where there are classes with different weapons and load outs you can choose to change it up but have a similar goal would be really cool
Ok I know you aren't a dev and all (Praying the devs read these comments), but I love to get FITTED AND DRIPPY. And I think an amazing way to pull that off in Splitgate 2 would be to keep the color coordination of the factions, while still letting us change the physical looks of our armor / weapons. It sounds weird at first, i know, but hear me out. Just add cosmetics, but we cannot change the colors of said cosmetics, the colors are dependent on the faction you play! The armor should be universal and interchangeable between factions, but the color scheme is hard stuck to each and every faction
The original splitgate was probably the most fun gaming experience I've had in years. I was one of the few people I knew who stuck around long after the massive hype died down and I was sad when I stopped being able to find games on my servers. I am beyond excited for this new game especially as I'm generally a fan of arena/movement shooters (and I don't mind hero shooters having played OW/R6/Val). Cannot wait :)))
Shockdisk is sick brcause it's like the old EMP grenade from Splitgate 1 where it closes the portal you throw it at, so if you don't have Sabrask smokes you can close off people who are sniping at your Hot Zone or whatever or win 1v1s where you're portalling all over the place.
I like how the split stream is literally that one assault rifle from cod infinite warfare, and I am not complaining because that gun was cool and I look to see it’s spiritual successor back
Hey great video, really looking forward to Splitgate 2 now because of you. I've always been a big fan and have been watching your videos for 4-5 years now. I always look forward to your content and ratings for different things. Some of the games I want to play or love to play now are thanks to you. Appreciate you being a part of the gaming community and look forward to some more Splitgate 2 content in the future. 👍 BTW since I'm a Bloodhound main, imma main the Meridian class
Something I don't really see anyone talking about is the new art direction for the game with i think has so much more personality. the old gun and player skins were literally just halo models which makes sense given that SG 1 was just "halo with portals" but i love that now the guns look way more cyper-punky? love it
Because of you Macro I played Splitgate before it was cool, back when it had maybe 500 people concurent players on Steam and before it blew up, so nice to see the game evolving so much over time. I love the new art style, charachters and weapons look great and I can't wait to see how the weapons and portals feel. My biggest worry is about the amount of content this game will offer. It's a small and unexperienced dev team, the game will be awesome at launch, I'm sure, but after a month or two how will they keep players engaged? Call of Duty does it with grinding levels, weapon levels and skins, valorant and overwatch with ranked, fortnite with battle pass etc. My point is Splitgate 2 has to have a ton of content at launch and very strong roadmap to keep the players otherwise we will get bored after few weeks of playing this great game.
I'm so excited for this now, splitgate with factions??? I've been playing a lot of the finals recently and there are a lot of similarities so I think this will be really cool. :)
i loved og splitgate and was sad when they stopped updating it because it was and is still my favourite game, I even grinding for the golden BFB/Bat which took so long but i did it so i hope they bring back the bat/BFB and golden styles for guns so that i can get my golden bfb/bat back or they transfer it over
Imagine if they made a character all focused on portals. Giving them a passive like either increased movement speed going in and out of portals, or being able to see through enemy portals. Throwing a portal beacon so u don't need a wall, kind of like symmetra tp. I can only imagine the chaos
I loved the first game, though I felt it was missing something, with this new one, I realized all it needed was the slide mechanic, as a titanfall 2 fan, this makes me so hyped for when this gets released, I don’t care if it’s in early state, just let me play NOW, I’m so excited 😊
That's a valid concern with the cosmetics vs class readability. I'm hoping that the character cosmetics are also color coded like the default skins. Either by changing colors to match each faction or by selling cosmetics for each class individually.
Oh how long I've wanted this, and its finally here. Really looking forward to playing the game because this just looks beautiful and I hope the devs do add like a forge mode
They can still make cosmetics for the suits, if their only thing they need to be aware of is the main colour palette of each faction they can still have tons of ways to make cool and unique skins for each of them.
The first game was fun for what it was. This showcases their found identity, and it looks great! I wasn't interested in the sequel until watching this.
Idk why but I’m not feeling the factions. I liked the original being purely gunplay without abilities getting in the way. The abilities don’t seem crazy but it was still nice to just run and shoot and not really worry about anything else. Kinda sad it’s a class based shooter now
Agreed, but still gonna try it. I think another issue a lot of people had with sg1 was players that didn’t use portals. If can you give those players a different ability, maybe the rest of us can keep portaling without the playerbase dying
I do love the reboot but personally I preferred it without the class based abilities feels more old school. Hoping perhaps there is a game mode similar to this on launch :)
same, i wanna love this sequel so bad but it really does look like it’s falling into the modern “class based shooter with meta centric gameplay” like literally every other popular fps game and like, i get it, i can respect it, but the lack of that with the classic stylings of older arena shooters was a MASSIVE part of what made splitgate so special for me personally and 2 just doesn’t have that magic to me :( still love the devs either way and i hope the best for the sequel but i don’t see it ever capturing me like splitgate did
what they could do with customisation/cosmetics is kind of have it like halo infinite and make each faction's base look their 'armour core', so to speak. then you could unlock and/or buy different armour pieces to use with that faction's core. so long as they keep to their distinctive colour palettes and design styles it could work.
i cant wait till devs listen to macro. imagine the next faction in green with clone that would so cool. I wish all devs looked to him for help on what to improve and i feel like with split gate its possible.
I was intrigued by the concept of the first game but never got into it. I guess the fact that the public alpha drops the day before I move to college is just karma for not trying the first game even though I wasn’t doing much at the time.
I wouldn't mind them bringing back old maps (or at least swapping them out) I love the map design. At the same time I can see if they want to keep everything new
There are a few changes that seem a bit weird to me. But I’m just really hyped for this, and I really want it to stick around and get popular this time. This almost feels as exciting as getting a titanfall 3 would’ve been
I think they could do cosmetics in a way wear it’s just skins that go on all factions but slightly alter so you still know who it is (Say macros skin but the body type/build changes as well as the colour) Keeping the identity of each faction but also the uniqueness of a cosmetic.
Macro Aeros Skin would go kind of hard 👀

Recent? It came out in 2019. Even Apex Legends came out only 3 years after Titanfall 2.

Splatoon 1 in a nutshell
The second I heard splitgate in the title I had a wave of nostalgia
This game looks good but i hope it dosent have the same problems as xdefiant like having overtuned abilities or annoying abilities the scan should be needed to the ground or reworked and the Shield needs to be quite frail
Don’t think nostalgia is the right word
Nostalgia? Didn't the first game just come out not to long ago?
I’ve missed this game sm, glad they made a sequel (hopefully it isn’t abandoned this time)
The only reason it was abandoned is because it got a lot of attention and only had like 3 devs lol
If you keep playing then it won't be❤
Splitgate was the last game I was able to play with my cousins, after that, unfortunately we moved away, I stayed on the console, they were on the PC, and they simply disappeared...
But seeing this game come back... brings me happiness
im glad to see this halo inspired game back again it was so much fun!!!!
pawpotral at the back at the start
Splitgate 2 is going to be the next generation of 1st person shooters it has a lot of potential!
Ok peely
It really isn't. First one was one of the most boring games there is and I doubt the second one is different enough to be huge.
No?
It’s just portal halo. That’s not innovative enough to make a whole generation of games based on it. Fortnite, apex legends, and probably rainbow six siege are this generations most innovative games.
@@fizz_time7003 nah its portal and cod now
The big friendly bat is a certified classic that absolutely needs to return. BRING IT BACK 1047

Titan Hunter and Warlock

Actually taking a finals or tf2 approach where there are classes with different weapons and load outs you can choose to change it up but have a similar goal would be really cool
In one of the comics in the companion app for splitgate 2 we saw Rhinok (the guy for sabrask) holding a melee weapon that looked like the bat

The design of the game is stunning, like I love the details and colour choices. Massive step up
I really wish we saw a sniper. Movement games without a sniper just feels like you’re getting gimped out of trickshot potential.

Already watched your other video on split gate two so I know what to expect😊
I think they could do cosmetics in a way wear it’s just skins that go on all factions but slightly alter so you still know who it is (Say macros skin but the body type/build changes as well as the colour) Keeping the identity of each faction but also the uniqueness of a cosmetic.
Never skip a macro video!!!
Splitgate 1 feels like a beta version of this so epic
