Hyper Scape, Ubisoft’s frenetic take on battle royale, is now streaming on TwitchDouble jumps and melting cities
Double jumps and melting cities
Making itself known via streaming also gives us a good look at the game’s Twitch integration features. Every so often, viewers will get the chance to vote on events for the current match - be it revealing all remaining players on the map or saddling everyone up with infinite ammo. At one point the game cranked down the gravity, sending the streamer I was watching rocketing into orbit. Good to know they’re happy to get silly with these.
It’s also interesting to see one of these take place entirely within a multilayered urban sprawl. Your royale battlers are fast and nimble, employing double-jumps and bouncepads to soar around buildings. There are a few neat tricks besides - rather than having a circle close in, New Arcadia’s map seals off one city block at a time. The effect of structures literally dissolving away as they’re removed from the playing field is neat as hell.
That’s currently all there is to tell on Hyper Scape. If you’re up for giving it a shot, instructions for linking your Ubi account to your Twitchcan be found here.
