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.

UPDATE: I received a DM from an actual developer of 1047 Games, and apparently Epic Games never actually attempted to purchase Splitgate. My bad!
Ok
Sure
i still play this game
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.
@Jude Kissinger
But their servers didn’t die?! They just didn’t have enough capacity and too many people were trying to play so there were long queue times.
I remember having fun with this game and thinking it has so much potential, glad someone's acknowledging its existence.
I swear to god it feels like a fever dream or something
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!
Guessing the game is still being worked on. That said keep up the good work.
@@christopherrogers532 half the video is literally wallowing why its not. what?
@@christopherrogers532 No it's not. 1047 is working on a new project at the moment which is why there is no dev support for Splitgate anymore.
Don't give up We stand with you!
in a fair world this game would be still be going strong, because it's better than any currently active fps in my opinion. well maybe with the exception of tf2, but that gave is way past its expiration date
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
This is David (really) who is wearing a black shirt (seriously). You flat-out gave me a heart attack. I cannot explain the moment of pure terror that infiltrated my soul. My heart is still pounding, lol. And this is the first time I've ever watched your channel, too.

I read this specifically as he was saying it
LMAO

Oh there you are 😂😂😂
Splitgate truly is an underrated game
It's mid as fuck bro
If it was a triple A game, it'd be trashed by people
I havent played it in a year and will be 2 years once it hits September, but i also came back bc i might redownload
@@MisterChief711 Honestly the gameplay is like pixel gun 3d somehow

should be noted that this game was basically a pet project between a few guys for years, and it was able to blow up. now that the devs have proven themselves and have much more resources (and people) at their disposal, we should all be looking forward to what they release next.
The skill gap was insanely huge. And many people just thought it was too difficult. I’ve personally just put in the effort of practicing maps until I was smooth at traveling all around the map and be able to shoot at the same time while mid travel. And it truly makes you invincible at the game, and you eventually can see the actual skill gap with each player you fight.
Skill gap might be large but the game is so easy to pick up it was no time for any of my friends to get good and start winning matches.
yeah. devs forgot todays gaming community is full of normies, lazy toddlers who just refuse learning those games....
Yh
Very true imo, as someone who consider himself to have pretty shit aim. I were able to often just out play people with better aim though the use of good movement and portals. The game clicked for me the moment i just started using portals to traverse and take fights as much as possible.
@@SilasPT Same for me. It was really unexpected to me how well portals would click in a shooter, but I'm fucking glad it did because it's one of the funnest ways to play a shooter now in my opinion.
It’s actually heartbreaking that this game died, I thought it was so unique with the portal aspect
Rest in piece
Yep... Loved it myself.
Halo infinite did something similar with equipment, yet it still died
Gameplay isn't the only thing that matters
I've been playing it a lot lately. Far from dead, always get into a game almost instantly
@@averageman4208 I haven’t played the game in a year or two might give it a try
@@MisterChief711 not even close to dead lmao
As one of the most active players in the game at this time, I'm incredibly sad that it fell off like that. I'll just keep hoping that the new game revives it, thank you for this video!
the performance decreased though
It was ruined by the braindead bots the devs disguised as real players by not telling they bots in the gamer tag
@@mariobadia4553 aint no way
You realise it's still popular, right? I played since 2020 - when there was like 100 - 200 players and it was PC only. It was a miracle it even became this popular, the console release really gained momentum! That's not to say it didn't deserve it, it's a quality game, just unexpected!
Still play it from time to time!
@@mariobadia4553 fortnite and cod did same thing. sucks
it's back to it's original player base, I play it daily and honestly they nailed the networking and fun factor for an arena shooter it's a great game.
A friend recommended this game to me like 2 weeks ago and I've had a ton of fun with it. I genuinely thought it was something new and slowly gaining traction, pretty funny to think I wandered into a graveyard and just started partying.
I want the devs to come back to this game just to add mod support so the community can update the game
They’re making a splitgate 2 because this games code is very bad
Splitgate was one of the greatest experiences of me watching a game grow into something amazing. This game went from some basement dudes into an amazing AAA level title in less time than it took 343 to make Halo Infinite playable (still pending). Jokes aside, I love this game, and I think the people who made it have good hearts.
this game fucking suck ass dude, you got shit taste in video games. if it were realeased by a AAA game, it wouldve been clowned on till the end of the century
It's super sad tho that people stopped playing the game
@@chillbizz74 yep, very sad. It's ok though, now we at least get a sequel coming!
but halo infinite is good now though
@@maruf7956 halo is dead
Arena shooters need to come back and be mainstream, is a so much fun genre
I saw the thumbnail first, then I proceeded to Re-Install "Splitgate", now I'm watching the video as soon as it finishes I'm jumping on this masterpiece.
1:57 Glad to have helped by teabaggig your for that clip!
I remember dominating servers by placing a portal on the ground and then placing another portal on an elevated surface and just flying through the air shooting at unsuspecting enemies. Good times.
The (non existent) skill gap everyone is talking about
i love ur editing style probably one of the funniest vids i've seen all week
Really looking forward to their next project. Hopefully it doesn't take forever to release or get canceled
I love this game so much, The portals are so well made and its so uniqe. Its truly sad its dead
Wasn’t this game beating Halo Infinite for a while?
@@Electroid5
*_yep_*
@@Electroid5 what game wasnt
guys it is dead because they are making another game in the same universe
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.
As a person not named David wearing a white t-shirt, I can confirm this is one of the videos of all time
damn it breaks my heart to not se you having more subscribers, your definetly underrated asf your editing skills are up there man!
Man this game was awesome. I’m really sad they stopped working on it
You making this video really had me remember all the fun I had with my cousin in it. It’s really too bad it won’t be updated any longer.
Literally same Here. Downloaded bc my cousin showed it to me and we played lots

I’ve seen this happen to so many games before and it really does suck. They really fumbled the bag with this game but I have hope someone out there will make something similar for those that miss splitgate.
Just redownloaded it a few days ago, it’s actually a great game that should of never been forgotten

I remember when this game had blown up into a triple A title. I played around 100 hours of it, and hoenetly I'll probably play more, the game is still a lot of fun. 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.
I started playing Splitgate after it "died" and have been loving it for a while now! My friends and I still hop on!
Just started playing again. Thanks for the video!
Splitgate and Hyperscape were both amazing, it’s unfortunate these games died
I'm just a movement shooter addict, Hyper Scape was just amazing
I would love another game with that kind of movement xD
Dude hyperscape was not advertised well I guess. That game was just another level.
I actually hated HS. I couldnt figure out the meta.
I never thought splitgate was dead, I always find players
This video is making me want to get back into the game now. Sucks they stopped development though.
Started playing it this week w 4 friends and we all loved it, Action packed and w lots of movement
I really loved the game and I got pretty damn good at it, triple portaling and almost always coming in first and all that. I remember being creative with flank routes and how I was crossing the map. It felt really rewarding and fun. There wasn’t anything like it man. Then I found out that as the game started to lose its popularity I was fighting against all bots and took away all satisfaction from getting kills and using portals in unique and interesting ways. In the beginning I knew I was winning because I was being more creative than my opponent. Then it was just because they were bots and had no clue what they were doing
I never forgot split-gate it was for a great time my favourite game on the market and I still boot up some custom games with friends. An excellent movement system ballanced game play. This game shouldn't have been discovered in the way it was. As usual people were upset with that years call of duty and turned their heads to indie games to play for a week before the update 'fixes' everything
Definitely have not forgotten this game. I still play custom maps people talk about. All though I don’t play anymore like I use to, I am excited to see the next game for split gate and I hope it will be as amazing as this game
I just started playing this game yesterday and my god im hooked. The gunplay, the portals, the momentum, everything is amazing. Sucks that the game has stopped being updated
bros late
@@notsuoh7233 late to the party yeah, but that doesn't change my opinion on how the game is.
@@Chree1s I stg the game was so fun before it got popular, then for some reason it just wasn’t fun anymore
Legitimately one of the most fun shooters right now and everyone is sleeping on it. Ranked takedown was an absolute blast. Ah well, can't wait for splitgate 2.
@@Th3D4nny The splitgate community is fucking amazing man, I did a hunt the devs event (a bungie bounty in the destiny 2 community) the first time i got there and I won the event and got a code. Afterwards I stayed with the community and now Im one of the event helpers who host the official events on their discord. It a really great community and I try my best to be there for anyone in need to help out in the game.
I still play this game on a daily basis being the highest player with almost 700 day playstreak and being a splitgate MVP, Really enjoyed this video! great refresher to hear for sure
I follow Splitgate’s development since 2016, yes that’s right I used to play the beta for years, especially after Halo 5 and before Infinite, and it’s one of those games you can really count on. I love their courage on being indipendent, and I wish the best for their next Splitgate game!
My friends and I played this for several months and absolutely loved it. What a shame it has no more players.
ATLANTIS HOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for this video, you made me discover my favorite FPS game
I love this guy his humor ❤❤ you have a new subscriber here !
When this game first came out I played it like every day. I fr need to play this masterpiece again
Mr friend reccomended this game to me a few days ago, and I've been procrastinating on it but this video convinced me and I'm excited
This video is really good and funny. Good Job
played this game for over a year it is one of my favourite games and should have been a real competitor
Good to see there's still a caring community for this game. I love all the featured playlist and community maps for this game. Dead or not the game is still fun.
I will never forgot this game because it was almost designed perfectly for me. I love fast pace shooters with complex mechanics that require skill. Spending hours on the range to practice portal techniques and then test them in game to stomp my enemies. It was only game where I can confidently destroy stacked teams while I had handicapped players, simply due to how well I knew the portal mechanics, map layout, and having great aim as well.
What else do you play? I'd love some recommendations because I'm the same
Dude had the same experience its almost as if splitgate combines all the cool mechanics i like from other games
@@DhruvBurman titanfall 2 is pretty good
This video is basically that Homelander meme for me "it was perfect" damn it I forgot the rest of the line but yeah man, this is my first video of yours that I saw and I didn't expect to be cracking up so much, what a nice video to watch on my birthday, thank you for the laughs and I'll probably see you around in split gate since you made me really interested in playing it again, honestly I wouldn't surprised that you made at least another 100 people redownload the game because of how well you made this video haha so good stuff man, I'm subbed now!:)
the edit on this and humour is A1
I was so dissapointed when the game lost steam, I wasn't a super active player just because I don't tend to invest a lot of time into pure pvp shooters, but I was one of the original group to play it in 2019 and have always really enjoyed the portal mechanics and feel of gunplay, it was just so crisp
I never played this game when it was popular but I still had fun when trying it (probably playing with bots idk). As both a halo infinite and portal fan it's just so good. I am very sad.
Once in a year me and my friends have a lan party. We ultimately always settle on Splitgate in the last few years. Coming back always feels great, I love this game so much.
7:14 why is that so specific and why is it so on point bro. I legit had a bruh moment
I found this game fairly early in it's development and was genuinely in love with the fact that it offered a truly "new" aspect to the FPS genre. Hoping some day we all come back to this game and understand what we really missede out on :( RIP Splitgate
I didn't even know this game existed untill this banging video. Good job Mewze. Enjoyed.
Wait I think I edited the comment and then lost the like from Mewze. Oh crap.
@@BigSmokes1 u seem like the type of guy that plays apex but has never heard of titanfall.
Dont play it. 99% of "players" you see are braindead bots the game doesn't tell you are bots

@@BigSmokes1 welp
I was just playing this last night it literally takes 2 seconds to find a match in any game mode. Love this game

AGREED! Best game in the last 10ish years I'd say. Hope the next installment they come out with plays as good.
lmao absolutely not. you gotta be living under a rock to make that kinda statement.
@@blvckl0tcs750 I have yet to see a more inventive FPS that perfectly balanced daily/weekly/seasonal challenges with great rewards for those that just played for dree and good rewards for BP purchasers. And actual live service support. Hasn't been a AAA game that can hold a candle to them in that regard from my experience. Either too greedy, not enough free content to make it worth it, too grindy, not enough content in general, too much content(pay to win) slow support, bad updates, game sucked to begin with and missed the mark and then took too long to come into it's own.
@@jakboling cause your view of fps is so limiting youve trapped yourself in live service. The introduction of CS2, Valorant, Halo infinite does a great job but it's issue is content drought. I don't care about times rewards, but more on how the game plays which is exactly why split gate died off in the first place. Hell even apex and cod does the same thing you speak of. Realistically coop fps are a great field with so few investing.
@@blvckl0tcs750 halo flopped so hard it's not even funny. They are only just now sort of getting to a point it's good. Over a year and a half after launch. To the point player base just isn't there. They moved on. They definitely didn't have a truly live service game. And barely do now.
I personally don't love the live service movement right now. 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. There are sooooo many and none of them do anything that different from others really. Its a worn out sub genre of fps.
Hell drg is the best class based fps PVE game out there imo compared to any of the other big ones.
@@blvckl0tcs750 chill bro, this is just his opnion, you have no reason to attack him, everyone has an opinion and it should be respected, just as I respect yours
This is just one of those games that is pure fun. No boring, drawn out missions, no waiting around, no grinding, just pure, fun action
Great video and absolutely based taste. I've played Splitgate semi regularly since launch and it's without a doubt in my top 5, maybe even top 3 PvP FPSs. Even now on life support it controls amazing on pad or mouse, it's incredibly feature rich and somehow despite the population I've never once waited more than 1 minute for a game. I love the folks at 1047 so much for creating a shooter this good and I hope they find great success with their next Splitgate venture, they have serious talent. Hopefully see you online sometime!
My favourite mode is domination on the custom Industrial map, theres 3 hills and the map is perfectly designed:
Point A can he reached from C and vice versa, point B is open on all sides but is isolated form the rest while still having good defendability, and the map itself is insanely well suited to Splitgate's movement tech, the jetpack being am incredibly useful tool that should not be forgotten!
I lost interest in splitgate in the beginning stages when the developers said that they'd be pursuing lootboxes as an avenue for monetization as opposed to simply being able to *purchase* cosmetics. I responded by promptly leaving the discord and forgetting this game existed. Never looked back, then when I saw it turned into Halo: Fortnite Edition I just rolled my eyes and moved on with my life. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
Couldnt have been any further off the ball but okay mate.
@@morky3673 Nah I really don't think it is "mate"
@@PoshBeard you could purchase cosmetics from release. Lootboxes were free from progression on the side. Halo: fortnite edition? Wtf does that even mean? Fortnites the biggest game in the world by miles
@@morky3673 Ok, but that's not what I said. I said I left because the devs were saying that they wanted to pursue lootboxes as monetization, and that I never came back. I never made any allusion to how they function in game now.
TL:DR Cope harder fanboy.
From what I saw, the biggest problem was that the skill factor was almost completely negated by portal peeking. So even if you did spend time getting good at the mechanics of the game, it didn't really matter. It reminds me a lot of Apex Legends, where there's all of this crazy, fun movement but the game tends to come down to who can hide better.
I played splitgate a bit again at the start of this year and while its still running, if you're good at arena shooters and understand how to use portals properly you'll just dominate every lobby and it gets a bit boring. There were also stupid long queue times which really took the fun out of a session. It would definitely be great if you can find ~10 friends to run up a custom game though
I used to play it so much when it came out, it was probably my favorite Arena Shooter for like 2 months, I gave up playing it after I bought some other game and haven't touched it since
Splitgate is underrated ngl
YES
So underrated
Splitgate is definitely a special game, one of the most rewarding games I have ever competed in. Being a pro player in this game was a great experience but it was extremely frustrating that so few people know how good of a game it really is.
5:30
Halo 2's battle rifle is godlike mate
Two interesting things I like about this game are the the fact I can customize the crosshairs and that I can jump in and out of the water in the resort map and be a sneaky little rat
the gunplay for this game was so fun with the portals.
Its crazy how massive split gate got for like 1 month and than just died it was so random of a blowup and just as fast if a blowdown
and u just made me start to play splitgate again :D
I never forgot, I play almost every day since my vacations. I met some players a lot of times and I like it
I started playing Splitgate on Monday, and I can say that this game lets players do something that most games today don't
Have fun
This was the first game that i really played on pc so it still holds a special place in my heart
really good editing .p.s. bring back splitgate
Underrated. I played a lot of it. Before it's release and on release as well. Amazing mechanics
That's pretty funny I actually just hopped back on this game about 3 weeks ago and now I see this
I still go back to it,
AND ITS STILL VERY FUN
Still play it weekly with the boys. We still here
Never forgot about it but I rarely play. But when it first came out it was so nice, to feel like a halo game again (obviously with its own additions) but looking at this I might go back and play it again, I had been thinking of doing that recently, not that you needed to know but now you do
When it first released for consulate I was hoping it would become really big because it's fun you're good
I've started playing it recently and I love it. The only thing I'm missing is the option to slide(and in a perfect world Wall-running as well)
I’ve had this installed on my Xbox for the longest time but just have never played it yet. It does look fun and I alike the portal mechanic that introduces more critical thinking into the gameplay.
Sometimes I just go into a map by myself and fling myself around like it's a skate park.
I want to add that splitgaye shot up in popularity when the hype for halo infonite was kicking up. It felt like split gate was the halo fix for a moment there.
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.
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.
Really, really, really good concept. I would've loved to see it's ideas painted on the canvas of a larger budget and scale. I'm sure whatever 1047 does next will be fun as heck though.
Especially since they've already mentioned their next game will keep the portal mechanics of Splitgate. I think it will be 1047's Definitive Portal Shooter.
@@diego032912 I'm really looking forward to it
Really entertaining video! I completely forgot about splitgate 😔
I got addicted playing this game for like a few days last year. Didn't know it is dead now :(
I actually play it a lot with my friends and it has lots of players every time i get on to play
This game was good I remember me and friends playing ranked and it so fun but still competitive idk why this game died🤦♂️ nice video btw well put together
The moment the announcer said "Killection Agency" I was in love😂
Recently started playing this game again it’s so relaxing and fun
Started playing split gate again recently. Love it, such a good game.
gotta bring this back I still play!
