@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 hytale is huge, it's not going to be cut, they are making a huge investment into it and trying to make it perfect because they do not want to just match Minecraft's success but 10x it.
@@thebaseandtriflingcreature174 one of reasons was that if otherworld would be developed, devs would need to stop updating normal Terraria (if i'm not wrong Red himself told that). So it became controversial, and both Relogic and Terraria players still wanted Terraria to have updates. So at the end they decided to stop working on otherworld, and continue updating Terraria. I don't think that similar thing will happen here.
Developers are mistaken because they think they have to. If they released the game, than update it overtime it would be a good ending. But no, they want to follow it up to the hype they got from the trailer
@@lourohired There's no reason for them to release the game if it hasn't reached the vision. Riot games acquired Hypixel studios, one day of revenue from people buying LoL and Valorant skins can keep the Hytale project afloat for weeks, I genuinely just think there isn't a rush.
My worry is that in every blogpost it always sounds like "we're finally getting started". Did they get a ton of setbacks? People including myself are concerned and upset because we have no idea where they are in development anymore. We cant tell if theyve just started making the game even remotely playable because of the engine move, how long will it take to move the tons and tons of assets over to the new engine? Will the game even look like their trailer by the end of the year? Or the end of next year. It really does feel like its never coming out and I want to get some confirmation of whether or not the trailer was even representative of what they had ready and playable at the time, or if it was even rendered in engine or was just a concept demo animated outside of engine... Was any of that real? Can we even expect to get what we saw? I've defended them on the fact that it does take a lot of time to develop a game, but that leaves the trailer like an anomaly that shouldn't have been out yet. I get moving to a new engine takes time, I get covid happened, I get they were hiring a new team. But we only have small and vaguely worded hints as to some small things they were working on over the course of a year or more... as though they hadn't been even developed until that point. The vague wording really doesn't help their case and reduces confidence in the idea that they even had any of their shown concepts developed properly. I'm hoping it's just a case of poor communication because they have all the assets and as soon as they transfer all of them and get them running they basically have their game at an alpha or beta state... but who knows at this point
I can see where you're coming from, but I do think you're overanalyzing a bit. Yes, you could definitely argue that they pulled the trigger on the trailer too early, but the trailers also generated enough hype to get the attention of Riot Games, which is probably the only reason they aren't shut down right now. I also strongly believe that what they've shown will reflect the final game. Things may shift slightly, as this game has taken a while and has hit a few bumps, but they continue to demonstrate that they are steadfast on their original vision, which is very respectable.
They did say it will be functionally better than the legacy version at the end of this year (BIG emphasis on functionally), so while it might not look as good visually as the legacy version at the end of this year, it will have better performance, better mob AI's, and anything else that is about functionality.
I think the scope has just slowly become bigger. It seems like they want to release Hytale with day-one extensive support for a potential modding and mini-game oriented community. I think it's highly unlikely that they'd release Hytale 'unfinished' in scope. I, for one, am glad that they seem adamant on releasing a whole product, rather than throwing it out there for hype, and slowly patching it. It's what games like Cyberpunk: 2077 and No Man's Sky did, and the had to, over multiple years, re-gain the trust of their community. Granted, those games were sold under the false premise of a 'complete' game, when they were really products that needed at least a year of further patching. I'm tired of games studios thinking it's ok to sell us consumers a half-baked product with an empty promise of completing it 'in the future'.
I think that they are such a huge company that transparent communication when things are still just kinda plodding along and work in progress, is basically impossible due to people trying to cover their own ass. In a big company, you don't wanna be the guy who says, yeah were taking fucking ages and we postponed releasing the game because the execs saw we could earn a whole lot more money from this.
@@Imryzen4090 thats not the point lol, if its free to play than they will need to generate profit somehow, and how is that you ask? in game currency, micro transactions, etc etc... yeah i have no hope lol
If they really want the multiplayer to take off I think the F2P model could work though, but I'd much rather they have a set price and then hopefully good yearly sales can keep the game getting free updates F2P hasn't been confirmed though, although they did announce the game during the rise of Fortnite so I always suspected it might be a possibility
See you in 5 years where we get our first 5min open playtest and then another 5 years where they announce the game is coming out in 2 years and then they delay it 20x and then Riot closes the studio to invest everything they have into their first party MMO
They delayed it because they wanted to switch to a new engine because the old one wasn't good enough the developers didnt expect this much publicity so they wanted to make a better experience for the players you dont want another cyberpunk 2077 situation where they rushed the devolmpent and made a horrible game
@@djinni2005 Sometimes games get stuck in devolmpent hell and come out garbage like duke nukem forever But we cant judge a game that hasn't released from what I've seen hytale escaped devolmpent hell Just like you said we have to wait and see
I'll be frank, if this game will have a price tag, I'll even dare say this could be Minecraft 2 and I'd pay for it just fine. The game shows so much promise and I have high hopes it ends up being successful, but I don't know if the F2P idea is... Well, good.
F2P is never good. Don't delude yourself. We can already reasonably assume that even in the best scenario this game is going to be greed-oriented and flooded by mobile toddlers with mom's credit card.
@SmellyHam I'll say if Hytale is paid, there's a chance it won't get very popular, where if it's free, it will be very popular very quickly, as the only free minecraft clone across all platforms. I think they're partially releasing it free just because it would be a guaranteed success
So if this does end up being free to play, it raises the important question of where they’re getting their money from. Option 1: aggressive microtransactions. Option 2: selling your personal information. Considering the studio is now owned by riot games, which is owned by Tencent, I consider this the most likely option
@@N_Sgames Dude you trying so hard to defend f2p, what stake do you have in this? Can you just not buy games or something, or do you like giving companies money because paying 20bucks for a game is too much but 60dollars in total through bits and pieces across a year is ok.
@@madmantheepic7278 I am highly against paywalled content. If it is going to be f2p I would imagine the only thing payed will be cosmetics. The team really knows the community and know that paywalled content will backfire immensely. Anyway have a good day.
@@N_Sgames I honestly wish i had the same optimistic outlook that you have on this, i have seen wayyyyy too many f2p live service micro transaction store from sims completely destroy games. But yea, cheers mate, have a good day.
You might not follow Hytale and just immediately assume that they are going to be aggressive with microtransactions and stuff, but as someone who does, the team really has a passion for the game and its community, in fact a lot of people working on the game are from the community
@@N_Sgames If a game is truly free it doesn't have the funding it needs, meaning very small or no updates. Passion is not enough to fund a game, that's what worries us... and the fact that they're owned by Riot games who are very greedy.
@@bernadettavarley Today, games that are free and sell cosmetics, are more profitable than paid games. Just look at the amount of money games like Fortnite or CS earn. And with the developers being passionate I mean that they will not completely scam you with microtransactions and leave the game. Riot is not that bad, at least for big game companies standard, I talked with some people that are in this industry and that personally know Riot games employees and they all said that the company is very good at making a lot of money while balancing the quality of the game. I don't really play Riot's games but when I played one the game was fun and didn't overwhelm me with microtransactions. But anyways have a good rest of your day.
@@N_Sgames Things like selling cosmetics is exactly what worries people. People want this to me a completely customizable game, they're wanting it to be a Minecraft replacement. If there is sold content then there is content they are actively barring us from changing ourselves because if we could then why would we buy the microtransactions? If they rent out servers, or let people sell their on a market and take a cut then that would be fine, but basically any other form of microtransaction is just a bad idea for what they've marketed this game as, which is a Minecraft replacement like game.
Huh, forgot this game remotely existed. Though the news of it turning into free to play doesnt give me much hope about it, since it could possibly ruin it.
@@N_Sgames I wasn’t implying the monetisation for it. Nowhere in my comment said anything about monetisation, what I merely forgot to add since it was early in the morning for me when I added the comment is that it making a game free to play can either be a good thing or turn out to be a bad thing. Though if you disagree with that, good for you, you’re entitled to your opinion. I will not see anymore reason to carry this further.
@@lemoneyesalt5513 I don't think that is what their stragety is going to be, I assume it will just be cosmetics behind a paywall and no content. That is because the developers do know the community and know that the it would backfire if they would add content behind a paywall.
@@Serial_Designation_V7638 I assumed you were implying monetization. Because I can't think of any other factor that might impact the game if it is going to be f2p. Also as I stated in another comment, it will be highly unlikely that there will be paywalled content, its probably just going to be cosmetics. Anyways have a good rest of your day.
this game was started when i was still in high school. im 28 now. this is depressing af. the long dev time has really made me cynical to the whole thing. i dont know if im even going to be able to play it at this point if it ever does release. its a busy world, everyday that goes by is another person lost that was waiting for this game 10 years ago.
lol i remember every year till 2022 I was hopeful for its release or even some info. Now just i dont really give a shit. I barely remember how I was when the trailer released.
Been following this since it was first announced i was one of the first like 100k people to see the trailer when it first came out over the years i have forgot about it and then im recommend a video about it like 2 years later than hear nothing for a while and forget about it again like others have said i was a kid when this came out and now im not i was excited and thought about this game for months and now anytime i hear about it im just kind of bitter idk i really don't think we will ever get anything from hytale and if we do it will be so far into the future that not even i will care about it at that point
Things are starting to ramp up? It took them a year to do an update post. If you go to their website and scroll to the bottom, they are hiring a Lead Project Manager for Monitization. This game is dead to me, lol.
Monitization director doesn’t mean f2p. A good p2p game still needs knowledge about monitozation to know how expensive the game should be and to manage dlcs and the online scene.
Free to Play under anything controlled by Tencent is a nail in the coffin, not to mention they've taken far too long since the initial trailer and the hype it generated for this to succeed. All that hype is gone now, they will be succeeding or failing without any type of hype train influence.
everyone's already resentful of them baiting us with the trailer. As you said, if the game isn't good in the first 2 weeks of release it will certainly die. It's boon is that it is made by riot + minecraft but better clone which will already drag in a lot of people.
hey guys, do you perhaps remember that game was from a company with a history of abandoning multiple games they tried to develop before the so-called "The Day Before"? Remember when they had developers volunteer to make their game instead of hiring a team? Damn, it must be the same deal with Hypixel right? Crazy, its like people just post silly comments without even thinking...💀
7:17 ye this already exists in minecraft. With the use of commands you can spawn a fake version of every mob in the game, control their size movment (or make them completely still), you can place them where ever, with no consequences. It's an insanely useful feature for youtubers. I will say it's a little complicated, but you can find preset commands online, and just copy paste.
This game looks really good, like just modded Minecraft with a texture pack and shaders/lighting mods, but it's a shame to see Hipixel was bought out by Riot Games, which is just Tencent. Why do companies always have to sell out.. sad :\
Fuck me Rito? We're screwed. When it comes out it will be buggy as hell and every update will introduce entire new broken playstyles while nerfing others into unplayable ad infinitum with no real balance. On the plus side new things will keep being added.
I really don't want this to be F2P, but it makes sense, since it could be trying to go the path of Roblox. They've put extensive effort into being able to create your own mods and experiences. The "metaverse" 🙄 is very popular right now, so I could see them trying to jump on that train with a solid product.
lol any time a game changes engines it ends horribly, honestly. so many games in recent years goes through delays then randomly they announcd that theyre changing engines and it usually ends poorly
Luckily in this case they were transparent from the beginning about the engine change, and the timeline they talked about has been consistent, so I think it's likely that this will be a big positive rather than a letdown.
@@Autumnnnnn1 to be fair a few of those have already had existing titles and idek what fortune is, there's still a lot of examples of this going bad, particularly with new titles that get delayed, just a common red flag
@@mohannedalmohandes4944 yeah, i mean when it does come out i'm sure it will be fine considering the "gameplay" footage we got and it's not really the most complicated idea for a game, the only other question that needs answering really is the F2P aspect
Although a lot of free the play games definetly do work however when it’s at such a high scale such as hytale it makes me worried it’s gonna be a freemium game
The only problem I have with the game is it's player model faces. The big animated eyes, the tiny mouth, the missing nose, they look like Bratz dolls or (even more) off putting funko pops.
I'm not angry, I just want to know. We waited 5 YEARS to be able to "see a gameplay" in like (i hope) 6 more months? They are gonna really realse gta VI before hytale
Im hopeful for hytale really does look like a modern minecraft taking the customizability of it and making it even more customizable along with what looks like an amazing survival mode.
so many times since i was around 12, ive been seeing games teased that like this, look exciting. but then comes the 4+ year wait that eventually kills alot of drive to play it. imo they shouldnt have release their trailer so early cause this is the exact same thing ive seen alot of mmos in the past do, only to basically die shortly after being released.
hytale looks actually amazing and i love that they dont try to rush uptates they take it slow so that everything would come out like its suppose to. the game is defenitly going to be awesome
They need to put total atention to the world generation. They dont need to give a hail lot of content on the release (and still they're giving it) but they need to care about players struggling to find everything we could find and explore. Empty biomes are a bit boring, we could get one or two without getting upset, cause we enjoy them to build. But things change when you're like "I have 12 hours playing and still dont find... something". Adding quests and points of interest on the surface helps a lot. Also they have to think on players that doesnt like to build, as some of us preffer to find structures and claim them as ours. Those couple of things are the only ones that are in my mind, they have quite covered the rest. And I know the game will keep updating after, so. Hope to see hytalers hytaling soon
This feels like something that should not have had the large announcement that it did considering how many behind the scenes reworks there have been. As things are they're definitely going to need a re-announcement because they sure as hell can't bank on the hype that was generated from their initial announcement.
F2p isn't a bad thing, the only downside is paid cosmetics. The f2p aspect doesn't really mean anything, I often hear people say that it will ruin the game. How does f2p ruin it? (I genuinely want to know)
@@N_Sgames because if a game is F2P they need other ways of earning money than just selling a game since it's free and pretty much always the other ways of making money are predatory microtransactions or in-game ads. Even if they would be purely cosmetic I can't imagine paying for skins/texture packs like in minecraft bedrock edition not being awful
They think they have to release the game in a perfect state deserving the hype they got from the trailer. They are super wrong and we have no idea why they think that way. Minecraft, Terraria are big games that never came out perfect. They just updated their gsme over the years. What they showed us was already perfect in our minds, but they needed more. Mistakes-mistakes. But with that they have lost people's interest, followers/supporters, all the hype and now they have to build it up back again from the mug. People would not be dissapointed if the game released not well developed, but people will be dissapointed now if the game is not developed according to our waiting time.
Tfw I just hear that the typical team was bought by riot 😢 my disappointment is immeasurable and it explains why I haven’t really heard on it in so long
@@N_Sgames because people are idiots and don't actually think before they speak. Riot effectively is working as a publisher, and has given the hytale team massive backing since they see it as a massive success.People for some reason don't trust riot with f2p monetization even though they're leagues above any other company with f2p monetization. people are just stupid when they see "f2p"
@@ItsAMaelstrom"leagues above any other company" ah yes a 500 dollar skin is truly "leagues above" others and not somehow worse than even mobile gacha games
I remember when hytale was first announced it was so much better than what we had with minecraft. Now after half a decade and a bunch of updates it's not that revolutionary anymore. With datapacks minecraft has also gotten a lot easier to modify
I don't know why I keep clicking these occasional Hytale videos expecting something different. It's still the same clips, the same "we're working on it :)))" devlogs...
Didn't they.... say the same.... like 3 years ago? Like at this point, I doubt the game is real. Seen bigger, more ambitious titles with less funding get greenlit and fully released. A sandbox game like that unironically can't take that long.
I can’t wait for this game! It looks amazing and I think it actually might bring some nalstogia with it because its kinda like Minecraft! I like the smooth animations and the shield and weapons designs!
I think they fucked up. As much as everyone hates a game that's released first and fixed later, it's been proven that it works to improve games of large scope, like this one. Even if they released the game a few years after its announcement, with a solid amount of features, but not a fully realized version of hytale, the hype still surrounding the game would have given them the players, feedback, and money that this game might have needed to become the perfect hytale. Now, it's a perfectionist bubble of development hell. The hype is gone for all but the most loyal fans, and even they are only believing in delayed promises after like 6 years.
The hype will return once they’re ready to release the game. They will put a new trailer out, like a release trailer, they will get youtubers to play it, the news will talk about it. Yes the hype is dead right now, but no way will it stay that way.
@@realpatty There is lots of kids that have not heard about the game, so when the release trailer comes they would be like. :oooooo Besides I'm 27 and I am still waiting.
I think this looks amazing. I will probably start playing this when it comes out. I hope that if they make it f2p they keep microtransactions to cosmetics. It works very well for fortnite and prolly other games as well.
@tot0byafrica748 lol we don't have plans on having a large wedding. Just something at the courthouse. And we aren't having kids so that expense isn't going anywhere either
This is the first time I have seen this game. I never played mine craft because it was a children’s game in my eyes and terraria is just so much better. With that said this game looks much better and like something I could really get into. Thanks for the coverage Chippers
yooo chippy i forgot you were into hytale too, i got a bit disappointed with the last blog but you know what, i've seen a lot of game projects come and go, most of them focus adding stuff and forget about the fundamentals of the game; the GAME ENGINE, this is what keeps everything running and defines how good the performance will be and how difficult it is to add or modify stuff, one example of this going wrong is Starbound, they made its engine to allow modding but it had a lot of limitations and there was going to be a point where adding content would drop the performance way below the 60fps, the team kept going with it anyway and nowadays the game is a unstable mess that doesn't even use all of your processor to run. another example would be minecraft with its performance getting lower and lower with every update up to 1.19 where they started fixing stuff. if the hytale team is able to pull a good engine off, in the modding side of things this would mean modding would be something "trivial" even for casual players, you'd be able to modify anything and add anything, the most basic form of this will be clothing and skins i think. in the performance front thanks to its cube shaped chunks it would be capable of incredible drawing distance without losing fps, or trigger lots of code that alters the world and have it displayed immediately (imagine a couple thousand tnts in minecraft java but without dropping a single frame), this could also theoretically allow infinite world height. also don't forget about the graphics, minecraft struggles to compete in terms of shaders with games from the 2010s as the game is limited by how it was made (also artistic vision but thats not the point), ie i can run skyrim with all of its glory in a 2017 card, meanwhile modern vanilla minecraft struggles to maintain 60fps at 12 chunks, if hytale is optimized my hope is that it would be stable with decent drawing distance even in old cards. (btw, this isn't to throw shade into starbound or minecraft, i love them as much as hytale.) anyway thanks for reading if you made it this far.
Yeah they definitely announced it a bit early, but it could be worse, like Bethesda releasing the announcement trailer for elder scrolls 6, SIX YEARS AGO, and have heard nothing since lmao

People including myself are concerned and upset because we have no idea where they are in development anymore. We cant tell if theyve just started making the game even remotely playable because of the engine move, how long will it take to move the tons and tons of assets over to the new engine?

I've defended them on the fact that it does take a lot of time to develop a game, but that leaves the trailer like an anomaly that shouldn't have been out yet.

I can see where you're coming from, but I do think you're overanalyzing a bit. Yes, you could definitely argue that they pulled the trigger on the trailer too early, but the trailers also generated enough hype to get the attention of Riot Games, which is probably the only reason they aren't shut down right now.
I also strongly believe that what they've shown will reflect the final game. Things may shift slightly, as this game has taken a while and has hit a few bumps, but they continue to demonstrate that they are steadfast on their original vision, which is very respectable.
They did say it will be functionally better than the legacy version at the end of this year (BIG emphasis on functionally), so while it might not look as good visually as the legacy version at the end of this year, it will have better performance, better mob AI's, and anything else that is about functionality.
I think the scope has just slowly become bigger. It seems like they want to release Hytale with day-one extensive support for a potential modding and mini-game oriented community. I think it's highly unlikely that they'd release Hytale 'unfinished' in scope. I, for one, am glad that they seem adamant on releasing a whole product, rather than throwing it out there for hype, and slowly patching it. It's what games like Cyberpunk: 2077 and No Man's Sky did, and the had to, over multiple years, re-gain the trust of their community. Granted, those games were sold under the false premise of a 'complete' game, when they were really products that needed at least a year of further patching. I'm tired of games studios thinking it's ok to sell us consumers a half-baked product with an empty promise of completing it 'in the future'.
I think that they are such a huge company that transparent communication when things are still just kinda plodding along and work in progress, is basically impossible due to people trying to cover their own ass. In a big company, you don't wanna be the guy who says, yeah were taking fucking ages and we postponed releasing the game because the execs saw we could earn a whole lot more money from this.
The moment I heard it’s “free to play” I lost all hope.
idc i always play pirated
@@Imryzen4090 honestly with the state of modern gaming I don't blame you
@@Imryzen4090 thats not the point lol, if its free to play than they will need to generate profit somehow, and how is that you ask? in game currency, micro transactions, etc etc... yeah i have no hope lol
If they really want the multiplayer to take off I think the F2P model could work though, but I'd much rather they have a set price and then hopefully good yearly sales can keep the game getting free updates
F2P hasn't been confirmed though, although they did announce the game during the rise of Fortnite so I always suspected it might be a possibility
If they're keeping to be f2p i can imagine it follows a roblox path. Hopefully it will be handled better than roblox
I was in grade 12 when this game was supposedly a year away. Now I have my bachelor's and I'm starting my master's degree.
Hytale and Yanadere Simulator competing to see who can go the longest without a final product
At least you can play it.
i do not like Yandev at all
but ATLEASt he still put out something ressembling a game
More like hytale vs silksong
See you in 5 years where we get our first 5min open playtest and then another 5 years where they announce the game is coming out in 2 years and then they delay it 20x and then Riot closes the studio to invest everything they have into their first party MMO
They delayed it because they wanted to switch to a new engine because the old one wasn't good enough the developers didnt expect this much publicity so they wanted to make a better experience for the players you dont want another cyberpunk 2077 situation where they rushed the devolmpent and made a horrible game
@@Gaood. Idk man, games have taken longer than expected before and STILL been undercooked. All anyone can do is wait and see.
@@djinni2005 Sometimes games get stuck in devolmpent hell and come out garbage like duke nukem forever
But we cant judge a game that hasn't released from what I've seen hytale escaped devolmpent hell
Just like you said we have to wait and see
@@Gaood. Pretty sure that moment passed 5 years ago.
I mean they aren't wrong. Just look at cube world 😅
Well, no matter how long this takes there's still Vintage Story to play in the meantime.
So true! VS is the survival sandbox GOAT
I consider Vintage Story to be the true minecraft rival. It seems to be growing in popularity.
@@Al_Greg Yes. I feel like it's probably closer to what Notch had in mind. I'd love to hear his thoughts on VS. And yes, it's definitely growing.
Love me some Vintage Story, it's a ton of fun
I'll be frank, if this game will have a price tag, I'll even dare say this could be Minecraft 2 and I'd pay for it just fine. The game shows so much promise and I have high hopes it ends up being successful, but I don't know if the F2P idea is... Well, good.
if you like hytale you might like vintage story as it has a similar goal of being a minecraft like
@@hercar20xx5 i appreciate the recommendation, I will take a look at it, thanks!
F2P is never good. Don't delude yourself. We can already reasonably assume that even in the best scenario this game is going to be greed-oriented and flooded by mobile toddlers with mom's credit card.
@@SmellyHam never said it was good, I was just unsure, cuz some free games can be okay and fun, but that's as low as 5% of free games
@SmellyHam I'll say if Hytale is paid, there's a chance it won't get very popular, where if it's free, it will be very popular very quickly, as the only free minecraft clone across all platforms.
I think they're partially releasing it free just because it would be a guaranteed success
So if this does end up being free to play, it raises the important question of where they’re getting their money from.
Option 1: aggressive microtransactions.
Option 2: selling your personal information. Considering the studio is now owned by riot games, which is owned by Tencent, I consider this the most likely option
It doesn't have to be aggressive microtransactions. It can just be microtransactions.
@@N_Sgames Dude you trying so hard to defend f2p, what stake do you have in this? Can you just not buy games or something, or do you like giving companies money because paying 20bucks for a game is too much but 60dollars in total through bits and pieces across a year is ok.
@@madmantheepic7278 I am highly against paywalled content. If it is going to be f2p I would imagine the only thing payed will be cosmetics. The team really knows the community and know that paywalled content will backfire immensely. Anyway have a good day.
@@N_Sgames I honestly wish i had the same optimistic outlook that you have on this, i have seen wayyyyy too many f2p live service micro transaction store from sims completely destroy games. But yea, cheers mate, have a good day.
@@madmantheepic7278f2p in riot’s other games like valorant and LoL have been pretty much just cosmetics I think.
"Free to Play"
This game's cooked. I can smell the "micro"transactions a mile away.
You might not follow Hytale and just immediately assume that they are going to be aggressive with microtransactions and stuff, but as someone who does, the team really has a passion for the game and its community, in fact a lot of people working on the game are from the community
@N_Sgames Yeah, so? A game like this being free sounds fishy no matter who's behind it, especially if it's Riot.
@@N_Sgames If a game is truly free it doesn't have the funding it needs, meaning very small or no updates.
Passion is not enough to fund a game, that's what worries us... and the fact that they're owned by Riot games who are very greedy.
@@bernadettavarley Today, games that are free and sell cosmetics, are more profitable than paid games. Just look at the amount of money games like Fortnite or CS earn. And with the developers being passionate I mean that they will not completely scam you with microtransactions and leave the game. Riot is not that bad, at least for big game companies standard, I talked with some people that are in this industry and that personally know Riot games employees and they all said that the company is very good at making a lot of money while balancing the quality of the game. I don't really play Riot's games but when I played one the game was fun and didn't overwhelm me with microtransactions. But anyways have a good rest of your day.
@@N_Sgames Things like selling cosmetics is exactly what worries people.
People want this to me a completely customizable game, they're wanting it to be a Minecraft replacement.
If there is sold content then there is content they are actively barring us from changing ourselves because if we could then why would we buy the microtransactions?
If they rent out servers, or let people sell their on a market and take a cut then that would be fine, but basically any other form of microtransaction is just a bad idea for what they've marketed this game as, which is a Minecraft replacement like game.
Huh, forgot this game remotely existed. Though the news of it turning into free to play doesnt give me much hope about it, since it could possibly ruin it.
Ruin it? A game's monetization method doesn't tell anything about the game.
@@N_Sgames Uhh, yeah it really does though...
Free to play = Paywalled content = not all content is available to unlock at download
@@N_Sgames I wasn’t implying the monetisation for it. Nowhere in my comment said anything about monetisation, what I merely forgot to add since it was early in the morning for me when I added the comment is that it making a game free to play can either be a good thing or turn out to be a bad thing. Though if you disagree with that, good for you, you’re entitled to your opinion. I will not see anymore reason to carry this further.
@@lemoneyesalt5513 I don't think that is what their stragety is going to be, I assume it will just be cosmetics behind a paywall and no content. That is because the developers do know the community and know that the it would backfire if they would add content behind a paywall.
@@Serial_Designation_V7638 I assumed you were implying monetization. Because I can't think of any other factor that might impact the game if it is going to be f2p. Also as I stated in another comment, it will be highly unlikely that there will be paywalled content, its probably just going to be cosmetics. Anyways have a good rest of your day.
this game was started when i was still in high school. im 28 now. this is depressing af. the long dev time has really made me cynical to the whole thing. i dont know if im even going to be able to play it at this point if it ever does release. its a busy world, everyday that goes by is another person lost that was waiting for this game 10 years ago.
bro it took so long that I forgot it existed
edit: guys if you want likes on a comment just be early ig
Same
same lol
Same
I can’t even remember when this game was announced, that’s how long ago it was
lol i remember every year till 2022 I was hopeful for its release or even some info. Now just i dont really give a shit. I barely remember how I was when the trailer released.
Hytale is going to feature a skin that costs 500$ from launch.
Been following this since it was first announced i was one of the first like 100k people to see the trailer when it first came out over the years i have forgot about it and then im recommend a video about it like 2 years later than hear nothing for a while and forget about it again like others have said i was a kid when this came out and now im not i was excited and thought about this game for months and now anytime i hear about it im just kind of bitter idk i really don't think we will ever get anything from hytale and if we do it will be so far into the future that not even i will care about it at that point
Things are starting to ramp up? It took them a year to do an update post.
If you go to their website and scroll to the bottom, they are hiring a Lead Project Manager for Monitization. This game is dead to me, lol.
How can it be dead? Just because there is monetization doesn't mean it will be bad, c'mon.
Monitization director doesn’t mean f2p. A good p2p game still needs knowledge about monitozation to know how expensive the game should be and to manage dlcs and the online scene.
Oof RIP
this is the first time that I hear the fact that they were bought by riot games of all things, what a timeline we live in
Riot Games bought Hypixel back in 2020.
You're a little behind then
Bruh
@@ScoplerOfficialHypixel Studios, not Hypixel. They're 2 different studios.
@@northpenguins Ik but I'm comfortable calling it Hypixel instead of Hypixel Studios
....Bet the new engine is capable of supporting in-game store & microtransacrion
Any engine would be capable of that? Such a strange, random way to be negative that wasn't even remotely hinted at anywhere
Free to Play under anything controlled by Tencent is a nail in the coffin, not to mention they've taken far too long since the initial trailer and the hype it generated for this to succeed. All that hype is gone now, they will be succeeding or failing without any type of hype train influence.
everyone's already resentful of them baiting us with the trailer. As you said, if the game isn't good in the first 2 weeks of release it will certainly die. It's boon is that it is made by riot + minecraft but better clone which will already drag in a lot of people.
@@xuan3236the game isn't made by riot tho

hey guys, do you perhaps remember "The Day Before"?
I hope this game isn’t like that
@@Ezzzyleerock09bro....
hey guys, do you perhaps remember that game was from a company with a history of abandoning multiple games they tried to develop before the so-called "The Day Before"? Remember when they had developers volunteer to make their game instead of hiring a team? Damn, it must be the same deal with Hypixel right? Crazy, its like people just post silly comments without even thinking...💀
Hey that game was actually somewhat playable
You could atleast get it on your computer
I can't believe they removed the pig in the updated version. I dont know if I can forgive them after that.
It's been... 6! YEARS!!!!! I remember when they announced this game.
7:17 ye this already exists in minecraft. With the use of commands you can spawn a fake version of every mob in the game, control their size movment (or make them completely still), you can place them where ever, with no consequences.
It's an insanely useful feature for youtubers.
I will say it's a little complicated, but you can find preset commands online, and just copy paste.
Another day, another, week, another month, another year, another decade of waiting for Hytale to finally release...
I do love the new look of the Scaraks. Still hopeful for this game, while I know its risky, i'll remain confident that it will amazing.
Terraria will get its actual final update before hytale gets a beta
This game looks really good, like just modded Minecraft with a texture pack and shaders/lighting mods, but it's a shame to see Hipixel was bought out by Riot Games, which is just Tencent. Why do companies always have to sell out.. sad :\
Fuck me
Rito?
We're screwed.
When it comes out it will be buggy as hell and every update will introduce entire new broken playstyles while nerfing others into unplayable ad infinitum with no real balance.
On the plus side new things will keep being added.
I really don't want this to be F2P, but it makes sense, since it could be trying to go the path of Roblox. They've put extensive effort into being able to create your own mods and experiences. The "metaverse" 🙄 is very popular right now, so I could see them trying to jump on that train with a solid product.
its a riot game. if it gets popular and working riot will keep it with cosmetics and probably the same thing as hypixel ranks as micro transaction
We getting GTA6 before Hytale
lol any time a game changes engines it ends horribly, honestly. so many games in recent years goes through delays then randomly they announcd that theyre changing engines and it usually ends poorly
Luckily in this case they were transparent from the beginning about the engine change, and the timeline they talked about has been consistent, so I think it's likely that this will be a big positive rather than a letdown.
Diablo, halo, resident evil 4 and fortune all changed engines and worked fine
@@Autumnnnnn1 to be fair a few of those have already had existing titles and idek what fortune is, there's still a lot of examples of this going bad, particularly with new titles that get delayed, just a common red flag
@@mohannedalmohandes4944 yeah, i mean when it does come out i'm sure it will be fine considering the "gameplay" footage we got and it's not really the most complicated idea for a game, the only other question that needs answering really is the F2P aspect
@1R4MgMYl7a I meant fortnite all of the ones I mentioned were the first ones in the series
Glad to see you are still interested in the game Chippy 🙏
Although a lot of free the play games definetly do work however when it’s at such a high scale such as hytale it makes me worried it’s gonna be a freemium game
Riots not new to the f2p market, they obviously know what their doing. But my guess would just be cosmetics but who knows😂
We got new Hytale Engine images before Silksong.
riot legit sees any game and says "I want to compete with that market"
The only problem I have with the game is it's player model faces. The big animated eyes, the tiny mouth, the missing nose, they look like Bratz dolls or (even more) off putting funko pops.
chippy talking about hytale wow
So exciting seeing finally new gameplay, specially of the new engine :3
I'm not angry, I just want to know.
We waited 5 YEARS to be able to "see a gameplay" in like (i hope) 6 more months? They are gonna really realse gta VI before hytale
Im hopeful for hytale really does look like a modern minecraft taking the customizability of it and making it even more customizable along with what looks like an amazing survival mode.
so many times since i was around 12, ive been seeing games teased that like this, look exciting. but then comes the 4+ year wait that eventually kills alot of drive to play it. imo they shouldnt have release their trailer so early cause this is the exact same thing ive seen alot of mmos in the past do, only to basically die shortly after being released.
hytale looks actually amazing and i love that they dont try to rush uptates they take it slow so that everything would come out like its suppose to. the game is defenitly going to be awesome
They need to put total atention to the world generation. They dont need to give a hail lot of content on the release (and still they're giving it) but they need to care about players struggling to find everything we could find and explore. Empty biomes are a bit boring, we could get one or two without getting upset, cause we enjoy them to build. But things change when you're like "I have 12 hours playing and still dont find... something".
Adding quests and points of interest on the surface helps a lot.
Also they have to think on players that doesnt like to build, as some of us preffer to find structures and claim them as ours.
Those couple of things are the only ones that are in my mind, they have quite covered the rest. And I know the game will keep updating after, so.
Hope to see hytalers hytaling soon
I really wish Riot hadn't bought the studio.
We're gonna get hit with the F2P + Vanguard double whammy.
this game looks like it will be allot of fun when it releases, its realy cool that you review these posts :D
Wee Development Hell!
This game's name should be "Scope Creep: The Never Ending Development"
I thought it was that at first but now theyre removing things
This game is so over
This feels like something that should not have had the large announcement that it did considering how many behind the scenes reworks there have been. As things are they're definitely going to need a re-announcement because they sure as hell can't bank on the hype that was generated from their initial announcement.
Oh god i forgot this game lol
To my eyes, the new engine is a major improvement. The lighting and render distance are way better in the new enginge
Please don't be F2P. Please don't be F2P.
They were bought by Riot Games... and all of their games are F2P with no P2W aspects. But everyone has their own opinions.
@@wizzscout959It would be the other way around if Riot Games didn't buy Hypixel
F2p isn't a bad thing, the only downside is paid cosmetics. The f2p aspect doesn't really mean anything, I often hear people say that it will ruin the game. How does f2p ruin it? (I genuinely want to know)
@@wizzscout959 So they can charge 500$ for a skin? Not every game needs live service f2p bs like this, regardless of whether its P2W or not.
@@N_Sgames because if a game is F2P they need other ways of earning money than just selling a game since it's free and pretty much always the other ways of making money are predatory microtransactions or in-game ads. Even if they would be purely cosmetic I can't imagine paying for skins/texture packs like in minecraft bedrock edition not being awful
They think they have to release the game in a perfect state deserving the hype they got from the trailer. They are super wrong and we have no idea why they think that way. Minecraft, Terraria are big games that never came out perfect. They just updated their gsme over the years. What they showed us was already perfect in our minds, but they needed more. Mistakes-mistakes.
But with that they have lost people's interest, followers/supporters, all the hype and now they have to build it up back again from the mug.
People would not be dissapointed if the game released not well developed, but people will be dissapointed now if the game is not developed according to our waiting time.
People who were excited for this game have already grown up imo
Cmon Hytale. I'm finding myself playing minecraft again
Tfw I just hear that the typical team was bought by riot 😢 my disappointment is immeasurable and it explains why I haven’t really heard on it in so long
Why though? Riot is just buying the team and not interfering with the development. I'd like to hear why it is so bad?
@@N_Sgames because people are idiots and don't actually think before they speak. Riot effectively is working as a publisher, and has given the hytale team massive backing since they see it as a massive success.People for some reason don't trust riot with f2p monetization even though they're leagues above any other company with f2p monetization. people are just stupid when they see "f2p"

Huh... interesting... this looks cool... how is this Vid the first i'm ever hearing of this game...?
I remember when hytale was first announced it was so much better than what we had with minecraft. Now after half a decade and a bunch of updates it's not that revolutionary anymore. With datapacks minecraft has also gotten a lot easier to modify
TRY OUT VINTAGE STORY, IT WAS MADE BY AN EX HYTALE DEV, ITS SUPER FUN.
I don't know why I keep clicking these occasional Hytale videos expecting something different. It's still the same clips, the same "we're working on it :)))" devlogs...
jesus i was 14 when first heard about this, god im old
Didn't they.... say the same.... like 3 years ago? Like at this point, I doubt the game is real. Seen bigger, more ambitious titles with less funding get greenlit and fully released. A sandbox game like that unironically can't take that long.
I'll probably try the game at least once
I love when chippy talks about Hytale
I can’t wait for this game! It looks amazing and I think it actually might bring some nalstogia with it because its kinda like Minecraft! I like the smooth animations and the shield and weapons designs!
29 seconds ago is bonkers
I was not expecting to hear Riot Games when hearing about a minecraft-like
Hytale = The star citizen of the Minecraft universe.
I think they fucked up. As much as everyone hates a game that's released first and fixed later, it's been proven that it works to improve games of large scope, like this one. Even if they released the game a few years after its announcement, with a solid amount of features, but not a fully realized version of hytale, the hype still surrounding the game would have given them the players, feedback, and money that this game might have needed to become the perfect hytale. Now, it's a perfectionist bubble of development hell. The hype is gone for all but the most loyal fans, and even they are only believing in delayed promises after like 6 years.
The hype will return once they’re ready to release the game. They will put a new trailer out, like a release trailer, they will get youtubers to play it, the news will talk about it. Yes the hype is dead right now, but no way will it stay that way.
You’d be surprised to hear that a ton of games you enjoy were probably in development for 6 years prior 🤷♂️

they got mlgrush wit the sticks
Mod friendly is pretty neat , i wonder how it will go since riot doesnt usually go in that direvtion?
Oh hell yeah another Chippy Hytale video lets go!
"The studio was bought by riot games"
Well down the shitter this goes
yooo chippy i forgot you were into hytale too, i got a bit disappointed with the last blog but you know what, i've seen a lot of game projects come and go, most of them focus adding stuff and forget about the fundamentals of the game; the GAME ENGINE, this is what keeps everything running and defines how good the performance will be and how difficult it is to add or modify stuff, one example of this going wrong is Starbound, they made its engine to allow modding but it had a lot of limitations and there was going to be a point where adding content would drop the performance way below the 60fps, the team kept going with it anyway and nowadays the game is a unstable mess that doesn't even use all of your processor to run.
another example would be minecraft with its performance getting lower and lower with every update up to 1.19 where they started fixing stuff.
if the hytale team is able to pull a good engine off, in the modding side of things this would mean modding would be something "trivial" even for casual players, you'd be able to modify anything and add anything, the most basic form of this will be clothing and skins i think.
in the performance front thanks to its cube shaped chunks it would be capable of incredible drawing distance without losing fps, or trigger lots of code that alters the world and have it displayed immediately (imagine a couple thousand tnts in minecraft java but without dropping a single frame), this could also theoretically allow infinite world height.
also don't forget about the graphics, minecraft struggles to compete in terms of shaders with games from the 2010s as the game is limited by how it was made (also artistic vision but thats not the point), ie i can run skyrim with all of its glory in a 2017 card, meanwhile modern vanilla minecraft struggles to maintain 60fps at 12 chunks, if hytale is optimized my hope is that it would be stable with decent drawing distance even in old cards.
(btw, this isn't to throw shade into starbound or minecraft, i love them as much as hytale.)
anyway thanks for reading if you made it this far.
It's never happening I've already accepted this long ago 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Cant wait for my grandkids to play it!
Yeah they definitely announced it a bit early, but it could be worse, like Bethesda releasing the announcement trailer for elder scrolls 6, SIX YEARS AGO, and have heard nothing since lmao
hopefuly it's a complete game and not a live service
Never seen this game looks cool though😮
It's nice to remember this exists
Ill wait as long as it needs becsuse we all know its gonna be huge coming from people that made hypixel
