Nah fuck the political implications, the message is %100 correct. The current FPS games don’t give the same enjoyment as I used to get from the old MW3/CS:Source era, and I really enjoyed Splitgate 2 and truly think it can change up a lot of things in the FPS space.
I mean yeah but really no. The political implications are too big to ignore here. Especially given the event being in LA with all the shit going on. Also like as a particularly targeted person in this fascist administration, it really doesn’t feel great for people to use fascist iconography to make a stupid joke!
Also like splitgate 2? Really? The game that during this announcement announced a battle royale mode? The most tired shooter mode since hero shooters? And the one that had $145 microtransactions on launch? This is the savior of fps gaming?
Are you able to leave your house? People are going to wear shit and make jokes. There is no use getting hung up on things that are well out of your control.
So this is a little off topic but is SG2 any good?
I was in love with splitgate 1 at launch then stopped kinda played off and on during the last season and put down the game after they announced they’d stopped. I played some of the closed betas and stuff just felt off, 1 felt like maps were designed with portals in mind offering sight lines and some risky areas if you were gonna shoot thru portals, but 2 felt like they made a pretty cross between a hero/ability plus arena shooter then slapped portals on it, and it just didn’t feel like splitgate to me.
But like, I can’t get into a match where anyone is using portals. In the only arena from SG 1 you can actually See some intent in being Portal oriented, but in all New areas they just dont make sense to usw. The Objectives are placed completely Outside of any Portal areas, and even where they are placed its just like „If you run to the other side of the Map and back, you can flank some random angle no one will ever use
And why make every classes weapon different?
Also, power weapons are just not worth picking up, every 2. Player is a bot, and the game itself feels pretty soulless with this corporate arena vibe that the finals have done better already.
Yeah you’ve just summed up what I’ve been struggling to put into words it just feels off
Ngl if it wasn’t splitgate and remove the portals I think it could have been a good f2p shooter that’s a little bit of arena.
I was never good at portaling in 1 but it was fun, during the closed betas it felt like a way to shave off a couple seconds running instead of using it to flank or get wierd angles
Also yeah it felt very… sterile idk… like it was made for esports both in lore (which isn’t bad) and irl
If you didn’t have the portals, you could just play halo, which I’m doing now
About 1, it was always really fun having 2 ends of the maps as bases and just trying to hold it while trying to portal to the other. At least that’s what I remember. The weapons were also fun (which I can’t say about every weapon except from the fortitude class, since 1 aero’s feels like a paint gun damage wise and the energy gun is an SMG, if someone took it and just completely ruined it for CQC by making the projectiles have the travel time of a sniper firing at 1km.), and the gameplay itself was way less ability centred.
Also, making the lore of a game „Its esports” is just so generic. Sure, turn it into a Gulag people are thrown into by the rich. Turn one company into the bad guy if you want. But not this shit
Oh yeah the base felt really true on that one arena trying to hold your vertical area.
In Atlantis or the underwater map it felt like a “base” slowly rotated around the map for a really fun dynamic as well as that one industrial and lava maps
But yeah my original point was it feels like serveral good ideas (minus the lack of portals) mashed together in one hodge podge
Isn’t Splitgate 2 going to be a BR? Or is that just an optional mode? Because I don’t see diving straight into the dumpster that is Battle Royale as making FPS great again, even without the political undertones.
The political implications were the point though. Or do you think he had no idea what he was doing? The “We didn’t know it would be taken as a political statement” BS is just damage control
You mean in 2017 like the article pointed out. And maybe there should have been backlash for it. It was a shitty thing to do then, and an even worse thing to do now
Are hats your main issue with them? I don’t like organised religion but tend to focus on other things than their silly hats even though they are even sillier than MAGA ones.
Motherfucker decided to come out as MAGA on a global stage while journalists and protestors were being shot by rubber bullets and tear gassed just miles away. He was in range of the predator drones flying over head in a US city, and where Marines were illegally deployed to US soil for the first time in hundreds of years.
But nah dog, just ignore all that and play the game, the game that clearly supports all that. Cause focusing on what the dev clearly supports is not allowed for some reason because he wore it on a hat.
“I guess it wasn’t a safe space for autistic people” is an insane takeaway from being temp banned for talking about people fucking their mothers and how people downvoting you arouses you (on a thread about not using a right wing hate symbol).
As an autistic person I’m baffled you’d try to hide behind your neurodivergence here.
Hes a libertarian nepo baby born into extreme wealth. His dad, the chairman of his company’s board and a main investor, was a cofounder of Inuit, the turbotax/quickbooks company.
Yeah cool not gonna buy it. The day IOI decided to put an elderly abuser and sexual assaulter in their game was the day I stopped buying and playing their games.
I don’t know if I’m just jaded by everything recently but I find it extremely difficult to get excited about game announcements these days until I’ve seen for myself how it plays
Gadgets man, I am picturing zipwire scene, paragliding, hopefully non quick time event action. The gadgets in Hitman were great for their role but there is a fantastical element to be pushed for 007
As a kid, my neighbors and I would give everyone the Q claw, which is functionally a near infinite range, attaches to almost any surface, grapple hook.
If you hold the button, you can remain suspended/attached… basically where ever.
So, we would go with … i forget the name, but some twiglight setting, older european town style map…
… and we would just all be zipping around like goddamn spiderman, because you can move so much faster with the q claw than by running…
… that, or camping in some absurd nook of the map, sniping people from a location that takes 45 seconds of insane platforming to get to.
Nightfire had a goofy as fuck main story mode, but the multiplayer was underrated, may even count as ‘hidden gem’ status, imo.
Close! That was Agent Under Fire, not Nightfire. It’s one of my favorite multiplayer shooters, specifically with nonsense like the Q Claw, Q Jet, and moon gravity turned on. Nightfire really pared back on the stuff that made Agent Under Fire ridiculous, and it was good for different reasons.
I’m expecting the biggest difference to be a removal or de emphasizing of the disguise system. Disguises are a core hitman mechanic but Bond very rarely uses them. (unless I’m forgetting stuff, and I haven’t seen all of the movies) I’m not sure what would fill the gameplay void left by them, vehicles could do it if handled well.
100% I will pirate this game if it has any of that always connected shit.
Its a full price purchase otherwise, the three hitman games I was happy to support given their studio position at the time but they are not getting any leeway this time.
There’ll almost certainly be new/expanded and altered dialogue.
I’m intrigued to see whether they’ll try to rework any of the more ‘problematic’ stuff, now that Katsura Hashino (P3–P5 director) has left. Or go for a truer-to-the-Japanese-version Teddy this time.
Huh, that makes me wonder if p5 has any actual translation errors. Most of the stuff i saw when it released was bitter localizer complaining about good choices, so i just assumed there was nothing real to complain about.
