    Heyo, ex Hyper Scape player here (servers shut down on April 28th 2022 in case you didn't hear) and just wanted to add to your video. Lack of player interest wasn't the only thing that killed the game. Ubisoft is to blame more than anything for ignoring the core audience and inplementing a number of changes that NOBODY asked for, ruining establushed mechanics in the process or outright removing some. As well as the horrendous console launch on August 11th 2020. The game simply did not work with a controller for the first month and a half of the game's full release, and the majority of the playerbase of course won't stick around that long. No crossplay at launch, and wasted hype in twitch streams rather than actual advertisement. Most people I guarentee have never heard of Hyper Scape, and if they had, it was most likely through Ubisoft Connect rather than an actual ad. Sorry for the long comment, I can elaborate further if you'd like, but too much was done wrong to the title for it to carry on- even if there was interest

      Thank you for the comment! And no worries on the length. This stuff just really makes me sad. And I feel like this same thing has happened to many other games, especially the ones with Ubisoft involved. A well-made game comes along, has everything for it thrive, and its smacked in the face by the company who made it... what the heck man!

    • @ElSenorEls
      @ElSenorEls 2 года назад

      Some more stuff:
      The servers were weak and had lags (my connection was fine. My stream was running fine) and waiting in lobbies for 10 minutes or more.
      Then there were bugs where I could not shoot, interact, reload or hear anymore.
      This made me quit the game I was so much hyped for and sticked around with for a year.
      If these problems did not exist or were fixed, I would have still played it. I was checking the developers' and Hyperscape's twitter accounts regularly, but this issue was never adressed.

    Hi, friend! Thank you for the video) It was my favorite game. I still can't forget HYPER SCAPE :( I experienced incredible emotions from her! This game was created for me) I really liked it. It is a pity to realize that Ubisoft took such a rash step, and after all, no one asked to close Hyper Scape. I would really like to see Hyper Scape again as an open-world story game rather than a game service. But I'm afraid this will never happen. 😖
