In this video, I talk about the first person multiplayer arena shooter Splitgate, and how the game uses elements from Halo, Portal and other shooters to create an experience like no other. Despite Splitgate being better than Halo, the game was forgotten and abandoned by the developers. Is Splitgate dead? Kinda. But it's still fun. 4/10
Splitgate (known during development under the working title Splitgate: Arena Warfare) is a free-to-play multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by 1047 Games. It was released in early access on May 24, 2019, for Linux and Microsoft Windows on Steam, and on Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on July 27, 2021. A PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S version came in 2022. On August 25, 2021, the developers announced that the game would stay in beta indefinitely and at the same time released Season Zero. The game revolves around Halo-inspired sci-fi combat in battle arenas where players can create wormhole portals between two points on the map that have been compared to those of the Portal series, and fire weapons or travel through those portals.

it's something called "crippling microtransactions". if you aren't gonna reward me well for gameplay, might as well not reward me at all. the daily chump change made me want to avoid playing as much as possible. edit* oh yeah, their servers died for like the first week so half the people who wanted to play couldn't and people didnt want to cue up for halo with portals.

[@Xol_Will_of_the_Divorce]

Hey MewZe, I'm actually a gameplay dev at 1047 Games and wanted to say thanks for the thought provoking video and the stroll down memory lane! The '21 launch was definitely chaotic with the servers, but also a lot of fun to be a part of (it's crazy how much we've grown as a company since that launch). Sadly I can't give out Splitcoin, but if I could, I'd toss some your way for the great vid 😂Big fan of your channel and editing style, and please keep up the great content!

The jetpack in splitgate is one of the most overlooked aspects, *elevating* the movement to another level. It's not enough to be used as a mobility tool by itself, but it has enough juice and gives the player enough control that it works really well with the high velocity gunplay, and helps conteract the pretty high TTK

And it truly makes you invincible at the game, and you eventually can see the actual skill gap with each player you fight.

I don't really consider Splitgate "dead", that's just an exaggeration. When a game "dies", it mostly means that the servers have been shut down due to a bad direction and lack of identity (take Battleborn for example). If Splitgate's servers are still up and a good handful of players still logging in to play, I consider that enough for it to be alive in my eyes. Just my opinion.

I'm just glad the devs are actually working on a new game, being in the SplitGate universe. I think this is a good direction. Making a new game on a new engine (I think), that may be more mainstream and easier to update, I think a new game is a good option, but at the same time, I feel that building on what you have makes much more sense. This was the shooter that got me into FPS games again on PC. It's just a lot of fun.

[@kaydenspencer7879]

I was top 50 on ps5. The game was so good, but the fact there wasn’t way to turn off cross play in ranked was so bad. Splitgate is a PC dominated game. All the highest ranked players are PC. You will beat other console players, but you just won’t be able to swing around like you can on pc

It basically is allowing developers to launch unfinished projects and to forever remain in a "beta" state. Splitgate included mind you. Which for a small studio like 1047 was ok but 343? Give me a break. Or dice with BF2042. At least splitgate FELT good from the get go. Gun play was on point as was weapon balance vs player skill and had no crazy attachments that gave you huge advantages. Class based fps is getting boring at this point really.

One thing they should focus on that other FPS multi-player are failing miserably at is encouraging social behavior, having continuous lobbies where you get to vote on or veto matches, and communication with enemy players both before and after matches, as well as communication with enemies after you kill them or they kill you. Gaming to me isn't fun unless it's social. And games are failing so badly at that. I'd even love it if they had a "social" mode specifically that blocks party chat, and only allows game chat. Communicating with team mates and enemies is super fun! Like the old 360 days!

Personally, I never played it because it felt like players (from clips I saw online) became unreasonably good and sweaty instantly. Don’t get me wrong, players getting good is part of any gaming experience, but the skill chasm looked so great/daunting to a new/potential player that the idea of trying to hop in and learn the game was very unattractive. There was no ramping learning curve that looked immediately apparent. Obviously this is just my own experience and an EXTREMELY hard one to do anything about as a developer since again, players getting good at a game is only natural, but the rate at which they started tapping the skill ceiling was a little too quickly for me to ever want to try it.

The problem with Splitgate is that it plays more like a tech demo. There is a really cool concept in the movement and the additional (massive) skill gap that is created by it. The big problem is, movement shooters exist already. Want a fast paced shooter? Apex/cod/halo. Innovation isn’t enough sometimes. You have the hook. But there is no meat. It’s all just fluff.

i actually liked splitgate a lot but i noticed my matches were FILLED with BOTS. i just can’t feel like i’m playing a competitive game if i’m just Doming bots around every corner. it was ez mode.

[@vizthex]

this is one of only a handful of PvP games I ever found fun. never liked the genre because you're always pit against a bunch of hardcore no-lifes who've been playing the franchise since day 0, and it ends up never being fun. but damn, was this amazing when it came out. Nobody knew how to use portals so i could get a lot of kills half the time. still hope this comes back soon.

Launched alongside Halo Infinite and missed the mark of capturing players after Halo's poor reception. Really flubbed on their marketing.

[@Matt-1567]

It didn't bring enough to the table to keep me interested. Played about 20 games and bascially said why am I playing this when I have the MCC right here

[@russell1617]

Splitgate Would Pop! If it was Split Screen...but Because it's not local Split screen, In Splitgate, splitgate Had to Split Up.

[@ligmafigma9631]

I was thinking of playing this game, then I thought, "What about deep rock?" And I played it for 3 hours.

[@dahashbrowns6917]

While playing splitgate, i put hours and since i had gotten the game years before it became popular i felt as a long time player i would actually be looked at as more trustworthy, i one day after grinding ranked for hours was met with a ban , no thanks

[@prosneakycole7254]

I actually loved splitgate for like 1.5 years, but when i installed halo finally, i just deleted it. I might get back on

[@fredrichheart3132]

I didn’t forget about it. Kids just started getting too sweaty with the portals. Just like when kids got too sweaty with building in fortnite lol. It was enough to make me stop playing.

[@societys]

i disagree, i think splitgate suffered the fate it deserved considering the genre it was coming into(arena shooters) was already dead and it really did nothing new. the game was not unique in anyway shape or form and halo infinite suffered nearly the same fate, id argue this game did better then halo infinite overall though.

[@table1552]

i played before it got super popular, it was actually recommended by linus tech tips on an episode of techlinked. it's a great game, sad to see it dead.

I just started last night I got this 3.29kd 70%win rate

[@walse519]

I never forgot he existed, i was top 37 in ranked on playstation, i love this game but, this game need player xD

[@chrismadagames]

I am someone who still plays Splitgate regularly and I enjoy it! Whether a game is popular or not should not dampen any reason why you yourself enjoy what 'you' play.

[@zeldron6592]

Wow my name is david and im wearing a black tshirt that is officially the most accurate someone has guessed me in a youtube video, this is epic 😎

[@vegeman7119]

people stopped playing because the no life sweaty nerds came and ruined it for everyone. people took it way too seriously and wanted to be the best at a game that was going no where

[@xd3athclawx554]

this game reminded me alot of hyperscape in the sense that i played it alot, it had a futuristic style, and for some reason or another, just completely falls off.
