Minecraft 2

But this game has a tremendous amount of money, and also an existing player base (in some sense), in contrast to most indie developers.

It is backed by Hypixel, one of the most successful minecraft servers (dunno how much they make but it should be a large amount). Additionally they’re being invested in by Riot Games.

While there’s definitely a good chance it’ll fall flat, it is much more promising to look at than most other minecraft clones.

Exactly. Riot Games doesn't back shit. If they are backing something, they aren't gonna go for something bad. The other things were just rip offs stuck in early access. Hypixel know what a lot of minecraft players enjoy, and stuff they don't. So they are building on that. As shown by the Dungeons. We all want dungeon rework in minecraft.. I'm not saying it will kill minecraft, and I don't usually get behind games that look good cuz they usually turn out to fail. But for reasons like Ricky said and what we've been shown.. I'm not really skeptical. And if it did turn out being amazing, and allowed us to do what we can in minecraft but more, we could do like what Pickles joked about. Expand. We could become the next big parkour server on there as well. Even if the game was better, I'd still come back here because zero is like a family to me & the maps are a bonus.

The amount of people jumping on this saying this will be better than MC, even in it's technical aspects, disappoints me. There have been dozens, and I mean dozens, of games that looked very much like what Hytale promises, with a premise very similar to MC, but fall completely flat on their face when it actually comes out. I say we wait and see what it's actually like and hold off on all the s---ting on Mojang. Let's not forget the No Man's Sky disaster, regardless of how different it is from Hytale. Though there are many exceptions, most massive open-world sandbox games from non-AAA devs don't do well due to the company's limited budget clashing with the enormous scope of what's promised. I don't think we should even begin to expect that this will outdo Minecraft in its technical aspects in any way that we could call it a 'Minecraft 2'. If somehow it does, then great, but a simple look at history and at the people and money behind the game says otherwise.

Riot Games is investing, Hytale has the money
