Whoa the storyline behind 1047 is so awsome !!
This is THE BEST game dev video I have ever seen
fr they really know how to make people feel like a part of the project
Splitgate 2 has the potential to revive arena shooters🙏
Try The Finals! Definitely looking forward to SG2
@@finnbaconNot an arena shooter, but I 100% agree that The Finals SLAPS. It has revived my love for traditional 'flat' first person shooters. (I say flat because VR competitive shooters are unmatched imo.)
As long as they balance the portals this time
@@finnbacon great game but not an arena shooter. Does take inspiration but its different.
The finals did that
Loved the video! Definitely would love to see more of this style of content. Allows for more of a personal connection with the devs rather than feeling distant.
Glad you liked it!
Agree
even tough when I played the alpha I felt it lacked a few things I 100% trust you guys to solve the issues and make a great game. This is a great Dev Diary.
Okay, I’m 100% on board again. I was a little put-out at the low amount of portal walls in the alpha, so I’m glad they’re gonna put more in like splitgate 1.
Love that you made it a priority that it is 90% skill and only 10% class difference that decides who gets the kill. Because that is what i loved about splitgate 1. when you die, you knew it was because the other player is just better than you and not because he has some ability/weapon that you don’t have. Makes it more satisfying to dominate a lobby
As an early fan of splitgate, I can safely say that splitgate 2 is looking incredible. My one complaint that I hope can be addressed is the performance on a lower end PC, I use a gaming laptop to hybrid uni work and gaming and the specs are decent however in the alpha, I was struggling to reach even a stable 30fps. Hoping there can be a way to help those who cant afford higher end equipment but I really cant wait to play when it releases, even if I'm at 20fps XD
I've been a big, like a really big fan of Splitgate, so i'm extremely excited for Splitgate 2! 🙏
I'm hoping it'll launch in free to play (like Splitgate 1), otherwise i'll definitely buy it when the opportunity comes.
Splitgate 2 is 100% free to play!
Ohh alright, that's nice to hear!
You guys are doing an amazing job. I love how relatable and passionate you are about your project. The first Splitgate was so refreshing in a time where FPS were dominated by the outbreak of BR modes. This feels like the perfect mix of Halo and Portal with the movement and momentum physics of Titanfall on top of the classic Unreal Tournament engine. God bless you 🙏🏾
I love the dev diary style of the video! It’s awesome to see how this game was thought of to how far it’s come, truly incredible and awesome to see the idea come to life and enjoyed by so many people! One thing I missed about Splitgate 1 when trying the Splitgate 2 beta was the lack of portal walls and I’m so happy that was addressed from player feedback being listened to, that’s so great to hear! I’m so hyped to play!
They really addressed every main concern from the alpha, goated Devs frfr
Absolutely love this,
The biggest issue I have with most shooters is they ignore feedback. As long as you comment on most issues/positives that is the key and what will make this game as successful as the first.
please keep up these dev diaries. I really enjoyed getting a look behind the scenes.
There is nothing I respect more than devs who listen to thier players. kudos to everyone at 1047!!
Really keen on playing more of it, insight like this is really helpful in understanding Splitgate’s journey as a series!
I’d love more developer breakdowns on weapons and what was learned from Splitgate 1!
Side note-can that old 2017 placeholder auto rifle model make it into the game somehow? Haha I love the rusty, modern military with a splash of sci if look it had
4:22 Hooly shit that clip
I love what theyve done so far and the direction of the game. It would be cool if there was a map editor at launch and you could make your own custom experiences like portal puzzles, parkour or a PvE experience. It would make Splitgate more than just a fun arena shooter. Also I hope they appoach SBM and EOM in the right way.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Can’t wait for this to come out, me and my friends loved this game and can’t wait for splitgate 2. As a person playing on ps4, I’m excited for the release and I’m happy that it’s on ps4. 👍
Meaningful variety with a purpose! Love the motto, and my biggest hope for Splitgate 2 is that it adds more projectile weapons/grenades, which would be meaningfully different from "this gun fires faster" or "this gun has less accuracy". Weapons with projectile arcs would take advantage of gravity and momentum through portals; chuck a bomb through a portal jump and watch it detonate on some suckers from above.
can't wait for the game !
cant wait !!!!
So excited! One of the main things I loved about Splitgate one is that it felt like Halo to me. I hope there’s customization for the characters skins and weapons. I not a fan of factions personally I think it’s much better if everyone starts on the same footing but that’s the Halo fan speaking. I definitely would love to see party games for sure, some of those silly matches were absolutely fun, especially Speed Bats (bring Speed Bats back please 🙏) I would also hope map creator is back because that is always great to see the community build maps for more fun. Again this all from a Halo fan but yes excited as always!
I agree with you on the factions. Weapon pickups in map and having everyone balanced is the best way to do an arena shooter instead of locking weapons, abilities, and passives.
I think I speak for all of us Alpha Testers from VC2 in saying, thank you for allowing all of us to be a part of this test. You have created a game that will light the way for long nights of grinding ranked and just having a good time with friends. VC2 on top!!! VC2 Moriko
Been playing Splitgate since 2020. Greatest arena shooter I've ever played. Skill ceiling is high, learning curve steep. Quick to pick up, hard to master. I love how it had the old school Halo and Quake feel with the weapon pickups and how the maps were designed.
Great to see the devs really trying to understand what gamers want and implement it rather than what we see with AAA titles where they expect you to like what they dish out and if you don't you've got a problem.
Love to see devs actually making meaningful changes after playtests. Y'all heard the feedback, and y'all changed things! It's great when games are made for the community, and you're doing exactly that. This format of video is great too
Thank you guys for making this game, I hope the sequel will work out as you want, you gave me great memories
Now we're thinking with portals (can't wait to see people challenge themselves to see how I high they can climb in the game with no portals 😅)
Sounds familiar 🤔
Such a cool origin story
5:07 a wall run would be so sick in the new Splitgate!
I agree, I would love to it. we could actually get something like titanfall 2
splitgate was just so fun. I love that you can play the game in so many different ways and still be fun. I also love that the core mechanics aren't cluttered with loads of hot keys and buttons it is a great fps game. It is just so perfect thanks for the hundreds of hours of fun. I feel that number two will be awesome. but have to wait to play first.
Congrats to everyone working at 1047! Played splitgate a bit before it popped off and then when it did too, really fun game I love the strategy that comes with placing portals to watch two different parts of the map or to watch your back. Hope you dig into this a little more allowing more variety with where and how you can place portals!
Gl splitgate community!
Wonder how many different gamemodes can you get out of this! Imagine a gun game, infected, a gamemode where you shoot your opponents portals with a large party of course, etc.
What about a cinematic in game editor for the community! You can go down a halo 3 in game fileshare route and allow people to share videos/pics/gamemodes/jukebox mode/forge mode/etc.
Good luck with the game guys!
We already have all this and more inn Splitgate 1.
Love the format! Reminds me of the old COD BL2 Dev logs!
Splitgate was the game that got me back into arena shooters properly.
This sequel is gonna be awesome
Truly feels like a sequel, keeping the identity from the original game while improving existing features and adding new ones
I am glad that my friends told me about this game when it came out on steam, I got so addicted to it and it felt really amazing. i am happy to see our favorite game becoming better and more awesome to play, can't wait for the full release 🤞
one thing i think would be super fun is if we got a weekly or bi-weekly video of just the devs best plays, yall are sooo good at ur game, would love to see some more of yall
lets goooo 1047!!!!!
9:57 you guys better release the OST because the artist created some smooth music.
Holyyyyyyy im hyped again. Now it's starting to sound like an upgraded Split gate 1 rather than a remimagined one. So excited to play again!
This is a great video, please do more to keep us in the loop of the progress. Splitgate 1 is still one of my favorite games and I am super excited to be able to play Splitgate 2. Also, really happy it didn't turn into another hero shooter style game.
7:18 I can't believe I'm going to be in the official Splitgate video!
Can't wait for next year's release ☺
Fantastic video! Getting to know the origins of the project and how much you listen to the community is such a good way to hype people for this game 👌
The gun play is what’s keeping me here with 1047 ❤
truly one of the most simple, and yet best, concepts for an FPS game
I participated in the alphas of splitgate 2 and I have to say that having a long lasting death match with no interruptions and short respawn cooldowns is something that I really miss
It looks amazing! Glad to hear it’s going to feel like the first one. Can’t wait to get my hands on this!
This is Excellent community engagement and messaging, I hear you guys loud and clear! I loved splitgate, really glad to see you guys took all the feedback to heart. The game looks so fun, and way better than splitgate! I might want to make a mod and special map etc - let your playerbase have fun with tools to make content and let us build a community through that experience, people really love active modding community games and this should fit really well into that with UE5. I think this could potentially be one of the funnest games to make maps in Quickly, so maybe experiment with making that easy to explore and iterate on the fly with lobbies. You guys have a winner for esports longevity if you stay committed to your vision in this video. Stoked for you guys thankyou for the great games so far PLEASE dont kill us with microtransaction or paywalling things out of the blue. If money becomes a problem, talk to the community about How They Want To Support You, ask us what we want to spend our money on - because we do want to support great game developers! Im super stoked.
I cannot wait to play this game. Looks like it requieres actual skill
Oh wow im totally back on board
Only 350 folks? These dudes deserve more love, this game is a staple🎉
im so excited for this game. i loved SP1 and miss its glory days so much. Hoping this game works out
MORE MORE PLEEEEEEEASE I NEED MOOOOORE OF THESE
Honestly, this might be my most anticipated game for 2025. I loved the alpha, so I'm really excited to see what else the game has in store for launch!
My portal gun is primed and filled with GORP.
Big fan of this video need more of these
loved splitgate 1, 2 looks nice to play and fun although i thought it wasn't for me, BUT this video showed how the game seems to have improve to be more akin to the first game, i think you guys are great and deserve success, best of luck even if it might not be my thing!!
HELLO SCREEN FRIENDS
2:18 I dont want to sound cynical or harsh but I don't think that was the main reason people left. They didn't leave because they didn't know how to play. They left because the gameplay simply got stale after a while. I understand you guys believe that the issue is the former and adding bots early on will solve things but that just further magnifies the real issue of the game getting somewhat stale after a while. I'm not saying i have the answer to solving player retention, but what i noticed when talking with my friends and co workers is that they seem to agree that after you play for a few days, they feel like they've seen pretty much everything the game has to offer. I really hope you guys succeed as you guys seem like great dev team and i personally was a fan of Splitgate 1. All the best and i hope i provided some insight even though it may not be a common opinion in the community. Cheers and best of luck! :)
20-30 years ago people were getting entertained by trying to getting better at the game, so varienty of gameplay, constant changes and flow of new content was simply not required. todays gamers cant enjoy fps itself by just pointing and shooting at other players, they need a ton of gimmicks and grindable achievements/battlepasses to be a reason to just play the game
Splitgate portals will change my life
Amazing Dev Diary please more. I love this game
i played the hell out of the original splitgate, cant wait to see the improvements to come in the future. good luck
So excited for this game. I would love for there to be splitscreen for splitgate 2. It just makes sense
gotta add wall run and wall jump. It just feels like those mechanics would go perfect with this game
Good update! Good luck going forward!
Im sorry, i just absolutely loved splitgate 1, favorite game 100%, and i played splitgate 2 alpha. I love both so much and i rlly hope this become the game i can play with my friends on weekends without the whole "whats a split gate?" explaining. Good Luck :D
Let me play this couch co op splitscreen with a few offline bots and im completely sold.
If dual input is implemented correctly in this game, I'm going to be soooo hyped! I put in some beta input on it so let's cross our fingers
Never played split gate but really looking forward to playing split gate 2 game looks like it’s got real potential especially as the fps arena market is lacking right now
Dude, I cant wait!
I'm rooting for you, the first game was extremely fun to play and this looks even better. I'm really looking forward to playing this on release, hell I'd buy it on release if it's gonna be a paid game.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE GAME
One reason i had no desire to return to Splitgate was the bots pretending to be players.
It's looking so good!
This reminds me of a Portals 2 and Overwatch 2 combination and I cant wait to play!!!!!
I'm so stoked on this game!!!
real
SG 1 has the best feeling sniper of any fps i've ever played
The game looks super fun! I can't wait to play!
So excited!
Love This Game. ❤
Splitfam - check in here 💜
I can't wait for this game i'm so hyped
love this !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
You never fixed achievements - I have "Veteran", "Expert" and "Competitor" but somehow "So it begins..." never unlocked.
Good job guys
Looking forward to SG2. Arena Shooters needs to come back!!!
i got banned from the discord i didnt even do anything, mod was tripping, loved the game aswell, its a shame
I would love to play
this game has potential.
Hell yeah
Have over a thousand hours across multiple platforms on the first game. Excited for the sequel. My biggest concern for Splitgate 2 is the class/faction system. During the testing I've participated in, imo the hero shooter mechanic makes team work even less incentivized. Having people relying on the hero skills instead of working together for objectives. Its unbalanced and does not promote fair gunplay. Why not keep the classic pickups around the map for the abilities and guns or just make everyone have the same abilities? The greatest thing about Splitgate 1 is the absolute balance it had when it came to gunplay. Everyone was the same you didn't have this game of rock, paper, scissors with the guns and abilities locked too factions.
abilities and passives are terrible for shooter games
College roommates building something special. I love it. So in.
Love all the details! One question I have though is will standoff be returning?
Please put gyro controls in the PS5 version of your game. I play full gyro in the Finals, its the best and your game is perfect for motion controls. I really look forward to playing Splitgate 2.
Thank god that 1:26 happened.
okay, so now that you've got all of this perfected, combine it with titan fall :D
Will there be a beta or some kind of Alpha for console? Itching to play splitgate 2. Loved the first one. Been having a blast on the Finals but can't wait for this either. The FPS genre has been so stale for years and this shakes things up, offers something different and this brings it. Just like the finals. So thank you so much for this game guys. Can't wait for release. Hope it's early 2025 lol.
