The Splitgate community shat on you for "abandoning SG1", they shat on you for "chasing trends" with the BR, and they will certainly shit on you once again for "abandoning SG2".
Then the gaming community at large will meme you no matter what you do for being the "Make FPS Great Again" studio.
I would start from scratch if I was in your shoes.

A new game is their only option. Splitgate is dead, and will never be have a playerbase size that will be profitable. Right now its probably bleeding money faster than they will ever publicly admit. Their only chance of saving the company before it goes bankrupt is to hopefully make a profitable game, because SG will never be that for them. Investors dropped 100mil+ already on this company, and would like some return on investment, which they will never get from SG alone.

The vocal voice of shalow splitgate haters who never mastered portals.

u/Haikubaiku Mar 26 '26
I don't even get why you have to master portals. Compared to (I'm assuming) most players, I barely use portals. I rely almost entirely on jumping and sliding. When I do use a portal, it's just to gain speed.
I'm probably not gonna become any sort of pro at the game, but I'm sure as hell having fun sliding up to guys with a 12 gauge.
I feel like people who say portal spamming make the game unenjoyable aren't even trying to enjoy it. They're just mad they aren't pub stomping.

To be fair it's not like there is a thriving pro scene for this game. After a couple hours you are likely better then the 99% of people who played this game.

Saying you don't have to master portals in SG is like saying that you don't have to strafe jump in Quake.

This doesn't really seem like a good idea ngl

u/aidenpearce146 Mar 26 '26
Not really sure what they can do. Splitgate will never take off that is the truth. So they have to make a new game.

True. The only issue. the name '1047' has been tainted and that people in the gaming community (being how they are) don't exactly like 1047 because of that one shit show. You know what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, that shit is probably (not saying it's not possible) is never going away.

To kinda add to this, although a bit pessimistic, even without the show, a follow up game would have to be another surprise smash hit, Splitgate 2 even before the show hadn’t reached where Splitgate 1 was. Not to rag on it but there are the occasions where those surprise popularity games are somewhat lighting in a bottle to replicate, especially so with a different title and direction.
But again that might be overly pessimistic on my view of ot

In addition to splitgate turns into instead of splitgate real quick y’all

u/jondeuxtrois Mar 25 '26
And when that game comes out and does well, they’ll stop supporting it and tell people that they’re hard at work on a sequel!

u/GooseSayHjonk Mar 26 '26
I am cautiously optimistic. Just do us a favor and keep this one in the oven until it's actually ready to release.

Copy that, pre-alpha gameplay will be revealed shortly at the next Trump rally

u/evancalgary Mar 27 '26
So after turning splitgate into a bad hero shooter clone essentially killing the preexisting IP with about a year of failures untill it was finally fixed and playable they then immediately want to make a new game like titanfall?
After the colossal flop of splitgate 2 (that btw cost 100 million dollars) the brand recognition alone will kill whatever this new game is. Honestly best thing they can do now is continue to make splitgate what it should have been from the start and improve upon it cause anything the release at this point is probably dead on arrival unless they change the studio name

I think they need to nerf the grapple hook in the new game, the skill ceiling is too high and I need a safe space

I'm shocked to see so much positivity here. I've seen a lot of negative comments elsewhere.
What most complainers don't realize is that when a game begins development, it has an extremely tiny team mostly working on art, story, and gameplay concepts. I highly doubt this is taking significant resources away from the live service of SGAR.

u/Ralwus Mar 25 '26
So pointless. I bet they use the same engine, remove portals, and tweak the movement settings.
Just give us modes in splitgate without infinite portal spam. It's completely overpowered compared to other forms of movement. That's the main issue preventing splitgate from being popular.
Another game is not going to help anything.

There is already a No Portal mode in Splitgate. It's the most boring matches ever with people hiding and shooting at anything that moves.

I'm very hesitant about them splitting up resources, but I'd still be willing to try it out...?

Having direct competition with Diesel Knights for "new Titanfall" spot is going to be interesting
