Why Realm Royale Failed

Hi-rez is the only studio who can grab defeat from the jaws of success

OG realm royale was some of the most fun i ever had with a battle royale. Then high-rez fucked it. Like one patch they gave SMGs no fall off damage, gray SMGs were stronger than legy weapons.

Why'd it fail? Because Hi-Rez

Classic Hi-Rez. Have a smash hit on their hands, and then upper management utterly cocks it up.

I wonder why do they do it? This happens with every game, they always start out good, fun, with original ideas, than they start ramping up monetization or just chasing trends again.

Bro these "Why X failed" vids are awesome.

Yeah, I had some good fun on Realm Royale for those few months. Wish I could play it like that again.

mate i like these videos and all but do you have to use that click and woosh sound for EVERY screen transition?

Have you talk about Darwin Project? I never find similar game like that one after its downfall

I played realm royale, from its launch to its downfall and then to its atempt of beggining again and then going cold, the game was everything the public wanted back in 2018, an original battle royale, then hi rez proceeded to fumble the biggest bag ever and step on it, if the game fell in the hands of a good company i bet it would be thriving to this day, i suggest looking into spellbreak, its another fantasy battle royale that was very cool but eventually failed, theres also an voxel mmorpg called Trove that i think would be interesting getting into.

Those first couple months were an absolute blast. Miss that game.

I remember buying the founder's package (or whatever it was called) on ps4 to get early access to the game. A couple weeks later it was released for free and they gave ps plus users the battle pass. Meanwhile people who bought the pack didn't get shit, the founder's pack skins were a single chicken skin and a single horse skin 🤡

Thank you for featuring my gameplay throughout the end :) really well put video, but I want to add a few things: - the latest update was last August, which brought the new map. Another patch was supposed to follow suit, but has been paused as; - the entirety of Reforged has been maintained mostly by 2 - yes, two - developers, occasionally with some help from the Paladins team. Both of the develpers have been sent to work on other Hi-Rez games which is slowing updates even further. - the game currently gets around 50k players a week, steamcharts numbers have been very inaccurate for a long time now Once again, great video! :)

Used to be a great game, doubt I could ever convince a single friend to play it with me again

4k hours into this game almost. I just couldn’t get into the new map. Was hell of a lot of fun while it lasted.

Yo Robo you gotta make a video on this new Unturned map coming out soon the trailer is CRAZZZZZZYYYYYY

Realm still holds the spot of my favorite game and personally it does seem to be a lot better now but it is sad the player base isn't coming back

I’ve been a consistent realm player since beta I would still say the game is great they just need a bigger player base and some more updates

I still remember the automatic weapons fiasco and the lead developer or ceo or whoever made the call defended them saying they had lower dps than fortnite´s lol.

I was playing Realm Royale every day till recently, i maxed all classes and maxed the battle pass and there is just nothing to do anymore.

i liked this video but the over editing specifically with the transition sounds are kind of annoying ngl. not hating still really liked the video.

the old RR befor update 2022 was not so bad honestly

I started playing it because i didnot have good graphics card but now when i have the game is dead i wanted to play it

stop with the constant camera flash transition 😭

I play a bit every now and then and wouldn't recommend to anyone unfortunately, at least on console, tiny map and only 5-10 players in my diamond rank lobbies (maybe 15 if it's mid day) so you get 90% bots, not very fun. On top of that the assassin is so unbalanced it's near impossible to play any other class, I used them all for the platinum and he was so easy it was embarrassing, no aim assist either so it's super easy to adjust to hit heads, maybe it's different on m and key but I doubt it.

This is such a great video 100% subscribed

I dont think there will be updates to it BUT ive heard talk about there being a new realm royale game being made

my first game was awful, game lagged so much due to my laptop specs, so i just stopped after first try. Next time, however, was better, even tho it was after all of these updates, in 2018. It was somewhat fun to play and have a chat with frends in game, but after some time game became boring, we learned all effective strats (which is just any weapon with fire element) and began to come up with unusual strats, for example - assasin's invis + minigun from drop. And even with that game was pretty boring, we used it just to talk and play something chill. Reforged update took from us every unique ideas we came up and give us same problems - legendary is imbalanced, warriors are the best, best-in-slot builds. Also we joked that anything named "reforged" is already doomed to fail because of controversial warcraft III reforged update

I miss this game like crazy... I could spend a crazy amount of hours on this game ..

i used to watch u play gmod lol, good vid

I would love to see a divine knockout video or even knock out city

I saw The culling! R.I.P.

I never heard of any of the games listed

stopped playing because of the amount of bots.. killed it. then if you did run across a real player you get slapped dead.

I remember the very first time I played it it was so fun but the updates ruined it and then later on I got it again and there was no more updates so I uninstalled it again

I still haven't gotten over the shutdown of SpellBreak!

really nice video. its very unfortunate that hi-rez keeps doing this. Paladins aint what it used to be anymore either. though that still has more people playing. but i dont play it anymore, it became very unenjoyable with their updates.

Where's the 2nd episode of kenshi?

Hirez had some of the best games out there... Yet they manage to get them killed... Realm royal, rogue company, paladins... Sad to see

Hi-Rez is a studio that needs to be studied. Truly a mindblowing group of people who create great games and manage to just fumble what they have. I LOVED going to the forges and crafting, knowing there was smoke coming out of the forge and other players could see it. Getting rid of the ability to craft legendaries was so stupid.

It’s funny and sad how consistently hi-rez drives their games into the ground. With one of their most recent games Divine Knockout, they dissolved the development team in a company restructuring because all they care about is Paladins and Smite. They couldn’t ruin it with updates because they barely had the chance to. The only good thing is that they have no plans to turn off the servers despite it being unprofitable (which is their own fault since they barely marketed the game. They didn’t even announce when the game became free to play (it was $25 USD before)).

You should do why spellbreak failed

Well it was fun while it lasted

Another Hirez masterclass of killing games

used to be addicted to it

This game is my fav but the worst company has to bug in😭😭😭😭

I'm more upset they put any additional resources into this to fight Fortnite instead of putting resources into Paladins to fight Overwatch 2.

It's funny how fortnite had to do nothing and realm royale killed itself tho

Hi-rez is extremely greedy, they like to kill games this way, also changing stuff or adding new things too often, which sounds good but not the way they do

Man those click and swoosh noises are super off-putting.. Not a fan..

My friend loved it I just couldn’t get into it

hi-rez, the pinnacle of trend chasers. at least smite and paladins have their own identity.

Yes, I Did and Yes It Was Fun and It Still was fun at a point, But When I Got a Pc and Epic Games for Me Realm Royale was not fun anymore, I Hope the game does not Die Like Knock Out City

Yal remember when paladins was in third person.

"Hi-Rez". Thats all. The moment you see Hi-Rez,just dont bother. Hell,if my empllyer told me 'good news everyone,we work for Hi Rez now!' ,I would search for a new workplace asap

Oh btw @robokast new unturned map trailer came out best one till now called escalation

No offence but you should have did it a little bit more research high-res switch devs team To a new one and then they gave up two (last actual regular update was August third 2023)

another fps game killed by sniper

Seriously Hi-Rez u had one job and u f@#$*& it up 🤦‍♂

I played this game until I had over 3K hours on it, I loved it but Hi'rez decided to drive into the abyss

What do you think of the new unturned map?

why is he explaining the gameplay lol I literally have 10k hours

Still playing realm . Steam is no longer the most accurate player count.There is more players on epic games and console than on steam. Saying that, with the new map with 40 players max you get an average of 10 real players per match. Still loads of fun but really needs some bug fixes and an update.

Hitez is good. Its just evil mojo in paladins

It's still the best battle royale, I still play it.

The first battle royal with the shrinking circle and one life … blah blah was ARK:survival of the fittest not Fortnite

Cuz content creators team in games then lie about it and not get banned

i see

fortnite, was not the insigator of the battle royal craze, and it didn't even blow up immediately. PUBG had that honour. I'm saying as a Fortnite player and love the game

bring back unturned bootleg rp

It was always clunky and jank, made by a company that kind of sucks. Do we really need a whole video to explain this? Lol

Well it for sure didnt fail, it actually lived like 10x lomger than i expected. Its just that people slowly couldnt deny anymore what garbage hi rez is.

I loved paladins so realm royale was a lot of fun for me but hi Rez just be taking Ls

GG

why did it fail? cause not every game needs a BR game mode.

I love this game and have been playing it since it came out. It’s such an interesting game. It is really annoying how Hi-Rez has kept the same battle pass for almost two years. But the competitiveness of the game still exists. Good video!

SKIBIIDI

Cus it was ass

"In 2018" nuff said. The market was suffocating in Battle Royale's at the time. The very release date made it that the game had barely any chance to stand out whatsoever. Sorry, but the supply at the time far outmatched the demand. And we're talking Live-Service model ffs, you need a steady and decently large playerbase that pays for MTX for that shit. The project was doomed to failing from the start.

>30 second auto respawn Oh no wonder it failed It's dogshit

I said this last vid, I started following you because you showed me why games were "awesome". The positivity and learning about new awesome games. Duder, look at your last 5 vids: failed failed failed failed died. Who hurt you, my guy? You can get your rage clicks all you want but count me out. Unsubbed. Best of luck.

im still playing. still have fun . my nick tu7an. hope dev comeback
