Splitgate 2’s Private Playtest- Better Than The Rest (AKA: The Best)

The term “gamefeel” is abstract, but 1047 Games seems to understand it more than anyone in the games industry.

Recently, I had the pleasure of participating in a private limited-time playtest for Splitgate 2- and while I was excited for the game already, I think somehow they’ve managed to knock this thing even MORE out of the park than before. I’ve said before that 1047 Games is a developer to keep an eye on, and my opinion has only been strengthened; I cannot WAIT for the full game to release. Below, I’ll detail some of my thoughts on what’s new, what’s changed, and ultimately my full unfiltered thoughts on the package presented here.

Before we get into the meat of this, a disclaimer- due to the terms presented by the playtest, I am not personally able to show footage or screenshots of the playtest. However, I am fully able to write about my thoughts- but if you’d like to avoid spoilers for the multiplayer sandbox, you’ve been warned. -RG

Firstly- new content. There isn’t a huge amount to discuss here, but what there IS presents a good slice of what may be coming in the future. 

In terms of weapons, one has been added- a bolt-action sniper called the Deadbolt. This thing handles and feels like a dream, bringing to mind the Kraber from Titanfall in more ways than one. It’s powerful, it’s well balanced, and hitting no-scopes with it is a huge boost to my ego.

No new classes in sight (yet), but all three received new and reworked perks. While all interesting, my favorite has to be the new Aeros “Sliiiiiide” perk- which extends and improves the speed AND maneuverability of the already buttery-smooth movement. Funnily, it reminded me of ANOTHER shooter’s more unique slide mechanic- Quake Champions. Feels fantastic.

One new map, an outside sunset arena called Bypass. Visually clean and modern (reminding me a bit of some areas of the Olympus map from Apex Legends), it had a more open feel than the other maps previously available, feeling to ME more like something from Splitgate 1. I’m not sure the open sightlines and extra area are necessarily a good thing- but I’m sure there’s still room for map tweaks.

Secondly- many weapons and abilities underwent a balance pass. While I don’t have a list of patch notes in front of me to confirm some of the changes, the main direction seems to be about leveling the playing field rather than outright nerfing things. The other two power weapons available in the previous playtest have been altered with new mechanics, like the Fubar rocket launcher firing all three barrels when not scoped and the Splitstream SMG smoothly transitioning between single gun and double gun modes when aiming. Additionally, the Aeros class had the overshield removed from the main ability, seemingly compensated with higher speed. If this kind of balance philosophy (offering trade offs rather than directly nerfing the items players find fun) continues, this might end up being one of the healthiest weapon sandboxes in any game ever. Time will tell, though. As a final note, some miscellaneous observations:

Minor UI changes have been implemented in good ways, and the overall game feel in menus couldn’t be smoother.

Art direction is still stellar and much more cohesive than the first game- none of the new additions clashed or felt out of place.

Connections felt decently stable for a playtest, and I didn’t have any experiences with poor matchmaking- every match felt reasonably balanced and fun.

My one major gripe overall is with the performance issues and graphical errors, which have notably increased in frequency since the first playtest. However, this shouldn’t be TOO much of a problem, as, again, this is a playtest- and there is also the ever-present issue of my personal hardware itself being outdated.

Overall, I can’t wait to see what 1047 is creating here. It’s very exciting for me that there is, seemingly, a fresh new shooter on the market that is actually adapting and creating a great experience rather than the 15th iteration of the same puppeted corpse of a game in a row. Keep up the good work, gents- I can’t wait to get back into the arena.

Splitgate 2 is a team-based multiplayer shooter releasing in 2025. You can find more info about the game on 1047’s website (www.splitgate.com) or on social media under 1047 Games.

MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIMES IS GETTING A SEQUEL

[skaamit]

Я даже не знаю, возможно ли физически что-то смешнее и нелепее этого.

Хотя сама же «Splitgate 2», как минимум, довольно сносная и вполне веселая штука.

Хотя выглядит, как сама по себе, так и по сравнению с 1-й «Splitgate», очень вторично и не цепляюще. Что делает выступление разраба ещё более тупым.

Happy new year everyone

2024 recap Art, gaming clips, super amateur skateboarding and more!!

I did a lot this year learned how to linocut, sculptures, took a photography business class, did a few skate clips, experimented with geometric I spent most of my year focusing on school rather than on social media. I played rocket league almost every night and managed to post some art a couple of times..

I will try to be a bit more active here maybe even try to write again I miss it a lot. I will try to stream more too .
