Is Hytale a Scam? 

i definitely believe they are working really hard on the game but still i agree that we should at least get some kind of gameplay videos so we can see that progress is being made even though we know it is!

I personally never thought of hytale as "Minecraft 2" I've always thought of it more like a Skyrim/Terraria hybrid. with it's larger focus on fantasy adventure, and super cool boss fights and smooth combat. yes it's a block game, but it's a completely different vision than minecraft.

hytale is not a scam. it’s a way of life.

I think the dangerous thing is that gamers assume more time = better game. While it's true great games take a lot of time to make, it's also true that games can spend a lot of time on setbacks and mistakes without making the game better. A good example of a setback is the engine rewrite. They have to spend a lot of time recoding mechanics that were already finished. This is time they wouldn't have to have spent if they made the decision to code the game in C++ at the start of development, so it's objectively wasted time. This is not a hindsight thing either, Minecraft's Bedrock edition mistake should have given Hypixel all the foresight needed to avoid Java. Another thing we have to worry about is regression. Sometimes games get updated and end up worse than they were before. Everyone believes that Hytale's combat update was a major improvement, but how could we know? We have never played either combat system, so it's all based on their word. Few people consider the possibility that Hytale's original combat was better and the rework was a waste of time. Regressive updates have occurred in many other games, the obvious example being Minecraft's controversial combat update. Another example of regression was Cube World making progression region locked. Devs who are passionate aren't immune to making bad decisions. Miyamoto is wrong. A delayed game is SOMETIMES eventually good. But sometimes delayed games stay bad. I want the best for Hytale, I wouldn't be lurking around here if I didn't. But I think it's an unrealistic mindset to assume delays are always a good sign.

I've spent so long waiting and obsessing over this game that i think my brain will break having it in my hands, let alone a trailer 2

Nah man i never cared when anyone had disbelief on games saying it will not come this and that. I still truly believe the game will come out and never lost faith. Heck people were hopeless for cs go to get an engine update which i always believed that it will happen its just that its not an easy task, and now i see counter strike 2 with new engine. I will wait more if the game comes out to be a finished product and not rushed.

Absolutely beautiful video. It hurts me to see all the angry people but i understand where they are coming from. I have full faith in hypixel studios to shake the internet when they drop hytale

i’ve always been hyped for hytale even tho me and my cuz was in 4th and 6th grade when the trailer came out and we and now we are in 8th and 10th grade now we still always come back to see if there’s new content every few days I just can’t wait

communication and transparency is the savior of all work in progress games so i hope we eventually get more of that

Starting to get Cube World vibes from this game

there is always a possibility Hytale can turn into the next Star Citizen

Haven't we seen enough games to know that rushing development never goes well looking at you "cyberpunk" and many other examples... Let them COOK

The whole situation reminds me of Omori. So lets just hope that the game quality will follow.

Oh! and i still remember that crazy ass jump from the glider into the ocean full of sea monsters and survived on minecraft rpg mod i think it was? during the live steam :p

I wouldn't call it a "Minecraft 2" per say. It always felt like a fantasy rpg game to me. Like Skyrim, Terraria, Dragon's of Dogma, DnD, etc. But I am genuinely excited for Hytale. I mean if I could wait 12 years for Diablo 3?? I can wait for this. Personally I would like a well developed game that took a while vs a game that was rushed and buggy with multiple patch updates. I mean wasn't Cyberpunk a lesson for people? It'll be ready when it is ready.

As someone who doesn’t care much about this (I started Minecraft after hytale did their announce and never heard of it until recently), the thing I have seen that has turned me off to them is their Twitter. For some reason, they think that in a drought of content for their game, and an unwillingness to share development, that an approach of taking shots at Minecraft is a good move. That’s the kind of philosophy that I personally don’t support. The classic terraria and MC comparison is illustrative, but even if they wanted to go all out against Minecraft it’s a shitty strategy imo. Good for clicks bc annoying rage bait but makes them look even more inauthentic and less transparent than they already are. Good luck to em, they’re product certainly should be good at this pace. And I hope they figure out a strategy that allows them to show what’s good about them without seeming like dicks

Lets go a new jamble hytale vid. I saw the community post and got excited

The biggest thing is communication. I’m sure development hell doesn’t lend towards many new updates, but I feel like a random holiday post doesn’t do much to engage the community. I honestly do not care about getting my hands on it until it’s ready. I just want to feel a pulse from their team.

Five years isn't that long for a games' development, I know it was in development before the reveal BUT Riot has acquired it, and they needed to use a new engine. They may as well have had to make a new game in many ways.

I can’t wait for dragon block v also glad to see you back jamble

Since there was no news about hytale at the end of 2023, that means most likely we will not see the game until 2025 or beyond

Sense its a riot game and a lot of there games been free, I'm pretty sure it will be free but skins and stuff would be bought like how Valorant, and leagues, operates.

Okay, I voiced the bit for you. now give me back my cat!

It would have to be released and be for sale for it to be a scam. The only people whom have stakes in it at the moment are the dev team and the publishers. It just sounds like they revealed it too early. They're pretty transparent about what they're doing and it isn't crowd funded, so I kind of doubt it will be one. Games can take years to develop, the average large scale game takes about 5 years, 6-7 years isn't bad.

True. Never go full Cube World.

Not a scam anyways moving on also an I didn't want a MC 2 I just wanted a new open world sandbox do whatever you want game with massive mod support

your best vid yet

Been waiting a long time 😊😊

Dont worry. Blogpost hy the end of this year 😁

Eventually it will be exposed that some people have just made a bunch of money off a scam..

Might not be a scam, but i dont believe it will ever come out

It sort of saddens me to think that the trailer we saw back in 2018, that game, will never truly be playable by us. Since all the changes they've made to the game, complete reworks and such, have for sure made it different. I do wish we were able to get our hands on the 2018 version of Hytale, just because that's what most of us really fell in-love with and we will not be able to play that when the true Hytale eventually releases. I have a feeling of ambivalence towards this 'new' Hytale, because it will not be the game we were shown, but hopefully something better. I pray that all the fans, new and old, are able to play the game when it comes out and enjoy it.

They went "let's take all the most difficult features and make a game from em" Gamedev is hard, that game is ludicrous chill out y'all

The definition of scam doesnt apply to hytale at all because i dont think anyone paid for it yet right?

Minecraft is more popular than ever....? I sure don't know in which world you live, but no. People are still extremely angry at mob votes, and are bothered at the number of terrible updates coming out. Either ways, that intro was amazing.

Thousands of years from now, people will still be awaiting the release of hytale, .. and the 2d coming of the Savior 🤣🤣🤣 How do people not realize the trailers are just animated.. (not actual gameplay) And c'mon... "Noxxy"?? sounds very similar too notch?? 🤔

Patience

Long time no see!

Ofcourse hytale isnt a scam

can you do another video on dragon block v?

Nice Halo Music

Im gonna predict that Hytale will be Free2play. Why? To get minecraft players + those who cant afford minecraft.

Hay Jamble, Joe here.

Hytale is not a scam, it's a crucial point of my life..

JAMBLE VIDEO!!

When devs work too little on their game to release it quickly, fans get mad. But when devs actually take time and put forth effort into their game, fans get mad. Theres never an in between :|

Hypixel has simply lost it. At some point you have to see it for what it is, a failed project, just like Cube World.

o nice

W VIDEO FR FR

Hytale Fake get over

I know you are a small creator and this may be a bit harsh, but can you tone down the “jokes” please? I want to get on with the video and not have some random clip from popular media or memes shoved in my face for… humor I suppose? I think this is most best represented by 0:31, it takes an extremely long time and has no comedic timing, has random popular media/memes put in there, conveys no point, and basically destroys everything the video tries to set up; it removes the viewer from what their viewing. On top of that, I think it’s worst quality is the time it takes, all the other “jokes” are at least short enough, but this takes 20 seconds, which is practically HALF the content of the video up to that point. Im glad it toned down in the latter half a bit though, but that was not a good first impression.

I don't think it can be a scam, because there are technically no "customers" or "investors" literally no one has any actual stake. If they release a shitty product and people buy it expecting it to be good (because of the teams hype and trailers), that would be a scam. But because the products doesn't exist you can't be scammed.

Hytale is a clickbait!!

Geez your so impatient thanks to your tik tok trained 20 second minds, a great game takes time let the team work in peace my hell paranoia is a real thing in this generation. I'm anticipating the games release but again when it's ready it will come. This is hoe you reassure devs to hurry things up which causes bugs unfinished content and issues.

FIRST MAYBE???
