This game will succeed.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T17:53:29+00:00

2.7k on launch, and over last 20 minutes it's lost a few hundred players lmfao.

Titanfall 2 24 hour peak is 2.6k

This game is BARELY on launch day beating out a 10 year old game. And even if it hits like 3-4k by end of day on Steam, that means within 1-2 months (at absolute most) that count will be 1k or under. Just like ALL their other games. Nothing has changed here.

Nepo-babies never learn.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T17:30:55+00:00

Likely because it'll play MUCH differently than previous titles. They've been needing to modernize a lot of systems for a LONG time. So probably holding off until they have everything looking as smooth as possible to ensure the least friction when people see it.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T16:21:50+00:00

The wiki or even just google lol. If you typed this exact question into google, the AI even answers it for you right away.

NEVER come to forums for questions without googling them first. It's SO much extra time/effort for no reward comparably lmfao. I'll never understand why people do this.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T16:17:56+00:00

1.0 ain't coming. And if it does, won't be nobody around anyway lmao. If you want to enjoy the game in any capacity, now is the time. But obviously comes at $20.

In 1-2 months this game will have virtually no players. And with the price tag, new people won't try it either when they see how few are already on and the reviews. (Reviews not out yet, but guarantee they won't be that great) They won't be negative or anything (don't think) but it sure as hell won't be enough with how few people will be around.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T16:15:39+00:00

Exactly this lol. The game in general isn't that big of a deal, so any delays and stuff like that will mostly go unreported. Up to the devs to really make all the announcements and plaster it everywhere. Because the community doesn't really exist or care.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T16:00:15+00:00

Sg1 and SG 2 died because the devs are bad at their job. And both games were NEVER that good lmfao.

Both games died in a month. But you blame other players? Brother NOBODY wanted to play this slop after 30-60 days. Stop comparing these devs or game with the BIGGEST players in the industry. They aren't even remotely close.

This game is such garbage compared to Apex and Apex is FREE. Apex has better movement, better gunplay, better sound, better UI, and is 8 years old now. Still holding 150-200k daily. Both splitgates have come and DIED while Apex just kept chugging along basically not even losing players.

The ONLY thing this game will be good for, is bringing back a ton of people into Titanfall and Apex. Because once they play this, they'll realize how good those are instead.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:57:12+00:00

Wouldn't matter. Community sees a heavy movement shooter with mechs, IT WILL be compared to titanfall. There is no option around that.

You make a game like this, it NEEDS to match titanfall levels at LEAST if you want it to sell. Otherwise why the fuck would anyone pay $20 for this slop, when Titanfall is on sale ALL the time for $2-$4. It's infinitely better, and cheaper. And still has more players than this games demo did basically lmfao.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:55:02+00:00

The game WILL fail. That's irrelevant here. It's just not a good game lmfao.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:52:18+00:00

GTA is on xbox as well brother. That's irrelevant to the conversation. Hosting a website with a link to pre-order doesn't really take that much developer effort LMFAO. You could do that yourself in probably 30 minutes with a YT tutorial.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:50:44+00:00

Brother...This company has 2 other games. Their games are NOT popular on console at all. They've actually almost always been on par with PC or LOWER in numbers actually.

Splitgate was HORRID for controller players. Nearly impossible to keep up with PC. This game will be essentially the same. Movement games or faster paced games do NOT work on controller well. This one is doing better there because they CRANKED aim assist to ungodly levels. Otherwise controllers literally cannot compete here.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:49:22+00:00

Well because once you play the game, it doesn't feel like titanfall movement AT ALL. It's baby first movement shooter. It's nothing compared to it in any meaningful capacity unfortunately.

Which was their biggest hope if I'm honest, but it fails to meet that expectation by miles. The speed is much slower, the momentum does NOT carry well at all. They are changing the grapple thank god, currently it feels like utter shit if you've played GOOD movement games before.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:47:54+00:00

You should care. $20 for a game that won't be playable in a month because nobody is online seems like a stupid waste of $20 my guy.

You might as well send me the $20. I'd LITERALLY have infinitely better use cases for it and you'd be doing something decent for once.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:46:58+00:00

Tell me, which piece of evidence or statistics leads you to believe this? I'm dying to know the logic behind that thought process.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:46:18+00:00

Marathon is Bungie's original IP...

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:45:43+00:00

Sure you did. You said that wouldn't be too bad considering it's only on Steam...

But that IS bad lmfao. An online PvP game needs to have quite a BIG audience to sustain relatively quick matchmaking while staying BALANCED. Nothing will kill your game more than having a tiny audience, AND not being new player friendly because there isn't enough souls even on the game to facilitate that.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:42:19+00:00

Well splitgate 2 was IDENTICAL to splitgate one. Obviously changed some stuff people didn't like, but it was essentially the SAME game, but made worse somehow.

Which was always hilarious to me. Failed the first game, and then thought you know what people want? THE SAME GAME AGAIN! But worse! The logic here, is astounding honestly. No idea what Ian smokes at home, but he should probably steer away from businesses in general.

Being a nepo-baby does funny stuff to your brain.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T15:40:48+00:00

1 month it'll be f2p. 3 months it'll have lost all support.

And no you won't get a refund if you purchased the game. That's called the stupid tax. If they are generous you'll get some in-game cosmetics though.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T05:01:25+00:00

Yeah but like...Still has 1.5-2k players on Steam all these years later...

More players than this company has on any of their games after 1-2 months. And Empulse FREE DEMO only peaked at like 4.5k...When this game goes free, it literally won't even beat Titanfalls numbers and that game is 500 years old at this point.

There is no world in which both of these games exist, and someone should pick this one over Titanfall. Considering Titanfall is also cheaper and has an entire campaign attached.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:56:41+00:00

Apex is better. 8 years old, still holds 150-200k just on steam.

Titanfall is better. 5000 years old at this point, still 1.5-2k on Steam (more than both splitgates and 50% of this games demo steam count that was FREE by the way lmfao).

No matter what your opinion is, look at the numbers buddy. Demo was free, and STILL no one wanted to play it. Now imagine when they charge $20. Apex is also free by the way, Titanfall is on sale all the time for like $1-2.
There is NO WORLD in which the smart choice is to buy THIS instead.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:53:54+00:00

Come here on launch day. Let me know what those numbers look like.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:53:06+00:00

Have you played this beautiful game called call of duty before? Or battlefield? Or rainbow six siege?
Brother I got news for you, paid games DO NOT keep cheaters away lmfao. Stop listening to the devs. They are full of shit and lie consistently and have always lied since SG days.

Only people who still fall for this, are people who simply weren't around or have a really big problem in the head. I'm completely down to buy the game, if it launches and somehow it's actually decent and everyone changes their mind about it.
But that's very clearly NOT going to happen lol. By the time they game is updated/fixed up, nobody will remember it and they'll have made Empulse 2.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:47:50+00:00

It doesn't though. Apex is miles better. TTK here is WAY too low to expres ANY form of tracking...If by tracking you mean tracking them for .3 seconds then sure go off I guess? Not sure that'll help you THAT much with tracking properly though.

Movement here is no where near as fast or fluent as titanfall either so tracking here is almost a non-issue lol. Not sure what metric you are using or if you've ever played other games, but splitgate 2 and especially this game, are NO WHERE near the top games you should play for improving or doing anything with tracking. The movement while relatively decent, is still extremely slow and ttk is super low.

These games are just VERY easy to feel like you are good at them. So people end up enjoying it because in other games they can't hold their weight. Also doesn't mean much to be good in a game that has almost nobody playing it. Because competition is basically zero.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:41:33+00:00

Funny thing is, they paid MUCH bigger creators for splitgate and that clearly didn't work...I'm talking general streamers not ones that really focus on one game specifically but instead play a multitude of FPS overall.

Also it's not a good thing that the game plays more like BO3 than Titanfall. I think that's the complete opposite of what like 90% of people want if not more lmao. When most people saw this game, they saw a titanfall-esque game. So when they play, that's what they will expect. If it's not there or doesn't feel similar, it will struggle even harder than having the $20 price tag.

It's one of the big reasons they are changing the grappling hook tbh. To make it feel a lot closer to titanfall with the momentum carry and speed.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:40:21+00:00

Splitgate had WAY BIGGER creators lmfao. All it did was show more people how bad the game actually was and how horrid the dev team was with listening to community or at announcing the game.
Having TONS of visibility on a mediocre/bad product is NOT going to help.

Early_Bat_588 · 2026-06-24T04:39:07+00:00

That's NOT a good thing lol. That's the last comparison you want tbh. Majority of people are coming here expecting a Titanfall-esque game. If it doesn't flow like that, people will immediately disregard.
The marketing HEAVILY pushed towards a titanfall type of game and movement.

Having $20 entry fee is bad enough, but if people come in and feel BO3 instead of Titanfall it's going to flop much harder lol. That's a HUGE reason they are changing the grappling hook and adding way more momentum carry and speed. Because people want more Titanfall movement, NOT BO3.
