    Ah neat! The first Splitgate was fun and I put a fair few hours into it. It felt like it had been abandoned by the devs after a while though (and cross progression wasn’t possible, which put me off playing it after I got a Steam Deck). I’m interested to see what they do with a bigger budget.

      I skimmed the article so maybe I missed it but I’m heavily thinking we’re getting classes with abilities like the shield, extra health, and the time bubble from the trailer

      I really hope we have a splitgate community here on lemmy. I would make one but I don’t have those mod skills

        I just mentioned this game to my coworkers yesterday, and they had never heard of it. I loved the concept but it didn’t hold me more than a week.

        Overwatch/TF2 classes with portals? Sounds great! (haven’t seen the trailer)

          Nice

          I chimed in on the steam page and did state im a little nervous about it going from halo style to classes but over all im really excited

          OW2 is the only hero shooter that is not pay to win that has entertained me for long. I would love more options. Thankfully there are several coming out… I hope those don’t get greedy.

    Ugh it’s a goddamn hero shooter (they say it isn’t but it sure looks like it to me). What made splitgate good was the simplicity. I’ll still try this out, maybe they manage to make it good, but I don’t have my hopes up.

    I’m annoyed cause I was actually excited for this

      Yeah the hero shooter part makes me really nervous, but as a Titanfall fan looking to pad out the library I’m still healthily (is that even a word) curious about this
