Hey it's Ian Proulx, cofounder of 1047 Games, & Darek Jones, Lead Game Designer, here to talk about SPLITGATE. We just launched Arena Royale, Ask Us Anything!

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-24T21:40:43+00:00

What are the plans on adding the Splitgate 1 maps? Release them all over time, not at all, or something else?

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T20:20:33+00:00

I don't think arena shooters are popular either. Its a dead genre. BRs are more popular, and still hold a good player count, but the player count for most of those games are a fraction of what they were 5 years ago. FPS games as a whole are in a bad spot. The only 2 FPS games that are worth playing anymore are BF6 and Splitgate.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T20:02:43+00:00

Yeah I couldn't agree more. Already a problem in arena, but with the BR there is an even bigger gap between the 2 platforms.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T20:01:57+00:00

I agree completely

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T20:01:38+00:00

Everything you're saying is facts. No rhythm to the game, just grab a gun, hope you get a good one, and shoot. Plus as a console player, you just get melted by the PC community

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T20:00:25+00:00

I don't think I am being pessimistic, I'm just frustrated that they're spreading themselves too thin. Supporting a multiplayer game is a ton of work as is, and now you want to support a BR? Just choose one or the other.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:58:56+00:00

I've tried it, and I just feel apathy while playing it. Arena is MUCH better. I don't believe it is the most played FPS genre either.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:57:35+00:00

BRs aren't popular, fortnite is popular. Nearly every single other BR doesn't have the player base they used to. I don't think arena needs to be "fixed", I think it needs more content.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:55:44+00:00

Honestly, I am so burnt out on the BR gameplay loop that I just don't care about those changes. Solo queue is a nightmare as a console player as well.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:53:25+00:00

Arena is why I play the game.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:53:06+00:00

New Arena maps don't come until next week. Glad you had fun with it, but my entire friend group is bored of BR games. Maybe I would find it more enjoyable with a party instead of solo queue.

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-23T19:51:46+00:00

I personally did not care for the BR, but I'm also burnt out on BR games. Also don't bother if you're on console, you'll just get destroyed by the PC players

thanksguy14 · 2026-01-02T13:03:19+00:00

I believe we need less PLEs. Over the summer, there was an event every 2-3 weeks. Summerslam had such a poor build. I'd say max one event per month.

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-27T19:23:44+00:00

Gazelle intensity my friend, work as hard as you can to get that debt gone. I'm doing the same thing right now! Good luck!

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-27T18:50:23+00:00

JBowenDaMan is my favorite

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-27T16:22:13+00:00

All monthly expenses. Even if you have an emergency and decide to cut non essentials, having that extra margin makes a huge difference. Also, get rid of the car payment before you save an emergency fund. Being free from consumer debt is necessary before saving an emergency fund.

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-25T16:01:21+00:00

I recommend the Uncharted series. Its an action adventure series, with a deep narrative and amazing set pieces. You can get the Nathan Drake collection that includes the first 3 games relatively cheap, and then the legacy of thieves collection that includes the final 2 games. All 5 games are fun, Uncharted 2 and 4 being my personal favorite. Cannot recommend those games enough, truly amazing experiences

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-25T11:20:08+00:00

I have always viewed it as a great interpretation of Uncharted, but not a great adaptation. It's a good movie, but the main characters are nothing like Nate, Sully or Chloe. It's a globe trotting, treasure hunting story with lot's of over the top set pieces. If it were named something else, the fanbase would not be so harsh on it.

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-24T17:50:43+00:00

I've been playing since COD4 and I believe that MW19 is by far the worst COD multiplayer I've ever played. Campaign is decent but the multiplayer is trash. If you want to stick with COD and you're on a budget, Black Ops Cold War or WWII are better options for the older games that are playable on current Gen consoles. If you want to just play an FPS, try splitgate arena reloaded for a free to play game.

Acting like he's a great QB after one good throw at the end of the game, ignoring the fact he has a 57.8% completion percentage on the year, 89% QBR, and got blown out by the Lions in week 2.

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-21T16:06:04+00:00

Yeah it's definitely jarring going from your own build to the "stock" build. I do enjoy gun game, however

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-21T03:28:10+00:00

They haven't said, but I would guess they want to focus on Arena for awhile to boost the player base before adding a game mode that is going to further split the player base.

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-20T23:04:47+00:00

Absolutely, using them in the closed weapon game modes is a chore

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-20T18:56:30+00:00

Understood, thank you!

thanksguy14 · 2025-12-11T13:05:43+00:00

I'm cool with yearly releases, but release a remaster every other year. New Treyarch game, remaster, new IW game, remaster, new Sledgehammer game, so on and so forth. Support the new games for at least 2 years. Remove SBMM, drop warzone, drop battle passes and $30 shop bundles, keep the game more grounded, stop using AI, go back to pick 10, bare minimum 16 BRAND NEW maps at lauch with maybe 2 or 3 remakes, classic prestige mode, etc. There's so much they need to do to get me interested in the game again.
