Hey there r/HyperScape! It's your friendly neighbourhood dev team, coming to you from Ubisoft Montréal. On Thursday, August 13th (tomorrow, if you're quick to see this!) we'll be celebrating Season 1's launch week with an AMA, taking place from 3:30pm to 5:00pm ET.

The last AMA went great and may or may not have included the first-ever tease of our console release window, so we're looking forward to seeing what questions you bring to the table this time. We are Graeme Jennings (Senior Producer), Jean-Christophe Guyot (Creative Director) and Thomas Simon (Game Director), and we can't wait to kick this off.

See you soon, Contenders! The question floodgates open at 3:30pm ET and answers will start rolling in around 4:00pm ET!

EDIT: Proof we're human

Are there plans for new weapons/hacks in the future and when in a party I seem to always get randomly kicked or someone else in the party is randomly kicked is that being addressed?

We plan to add one weapon and one hack each season! Sorry to hear about your connectivity issues, please reach out to support.ubi.com for assistance. - Graeme

Hey there, console player here. I have some questions:

  1. Will you add a FOV slider in the future?

  2. Will you add a sensivity response curve selector/personalization option?

  3. Is there a particular reason for a deadzone minimum of 5 on the stick( like RB6:S )? (I know this is too specific but I'd rather be as responsive as possible than having some camera drift.)

  4. Will Crossplay be optional? If so can we select which platform to be matched with?

  5. Will you add a competitive game mode later on? It would be nice to see high level skill players clash in the final Zone.

Thank you very much in advance for your answers. Your game is great!!

We're looking into what it takes to implement an FOV slider on console. We've seen all of the comments across the console community about this topic and we know it's important to you. There is significant work to adding it, so we're looking at how to approach that currently - Graeme

Hello, do you have any news or estimations on when the orchid problem will be taken care of, we have been waiting for 2 days and have gotten no information about it. But I love the game and have so much fun playing it and it pains me that I have to wait 30-45 minutes to get into one game.

We're actively working on the Orchid-C022 issues right now, which currently is mostly only affecting Xbox One players in the US. We know it's creating a frustrating experience for you, and is our top tech priority right now. We apologize for this, and we'll get it resolved. - Graeme

Will there be any new champions or will it be just new outfits for existing characters

Over the course of the coming Seasons, we'll introduce completely new champions, as well as new outfits representing changes to the champions directly tied to events in the story. - JC

1/Can we have a better death recap ? 2/When is auto-sprint coming? It is a fast pace game after all

We don't currently have plans to introduce a Kill Cam to the game, but we are closely following your feedback and requests regarding this and will continue monitoring. We're improving the Kill Card in a patch later this season that adds a Player Reporting function on the player who eliminated you. - JC

Are there any plans to expand the game? Would be cool if it were like in the movie Ready Player one (not necessarily VR Compatible)

This is just the beginning of the journey for Hyper Scape. The plan is to constantly add new content, whether it's Hacks, Weapons, Game Modes (look out for Faction War next week!), etc, and regularly improve the game based on your feedback. - JC

When you add different response curves, since the community is begging for it, please leave the exact same feeling response as a setting called classic or something, since I freaking love it and have played with similar curves for the past 4 years.

We are planning to add new settings to allow the player to choose a linear response curve and disable the acceleration that currently exists for all controller players. The work is being done now and will come soon. This will be a first step and we'll look at ways to improve it more in the future. - Thomas

We do plan to change position of the skull soon. - Thomas

Can y'all please nerf the minigun? It's so annoying having 75% of the lobby spam minigun.

We are monitoring the overall balance right now, as it's still very early in Season 1. We are rediscovering some aspects of the game through this launch on console, so as we did for PC during Open Beta we will monitor them and act as soon as our data and player feedback gives us a full understanding of where things stand. It has been entertaining to see Hexfire become a meme again. - Thomas

Hoya I hope this isn’t a stupid question but I was wondering if you guys had any plans to shorten the time between matches or if you guys think it’s just fine?

We've seen the memes and feedback about the wait times in the Lobby, and we're looking into ways to optimize the flow. - JC

Hi there,

I really enjoy the movement and gunplay but am not big on Battle Royale. Will you ever consider doing more specific modes like TDM, CTF and other modes on curated maps?

We believe Hyper Scape has the potential to have multiple game modes, including TDM. We're looking at ideas like that for the future - Thomas

What are the chances we will ever see a more advanced movement system with wall running plus other momentum, etc? Or even just a game mode with it.

We will focus our efforts on movement mechanics and navigation options via our work on future Hacks and Game Events. We do believe there is more room for navigation ideas. - Thomas

Are you guys working on a fix to console aim? It feels really clunky right now.

As we mentioned in another answer, as a first step we're already working on giving you more settings to switch to a linear aiming curve and disable acceleration as a first step. We'll continue to improve on that aspect in the future. - Thomas

Hey,

I play it on PS4 but as Nintendo "Fanboy" I'm still asking: Is the Game come to Switch at a later point or is the hardware not good enough? :(

Is Aim Assist on Console working? I didn't notice any Assist of aiming which make it kinda hard somehow. Especially when you want to hit enemys far away.

Aim assist is a very important topic here, we know that. And we intend to adjust it to provide the most comfortable experience for console players. The first thing we want to do, though, is address the sensitivity issue on Console, as we believe the currently difficulties are muddying the waters on that topic. - Thomas

What was the reasoning/thought process behind making the new dragonfly weapon not full auto, yet the d-tap is full auto? I just found that interesting. Love both weapons though!

Also, thoughts on a burst weapon? :)

Keep up the amazing work!

The intention with Dragonfly was to make it different from the Ripper and focus more on the precision aspect of the gun. Dragonfly is our newest weapon and we're already looking at ways to improve its performance in the game. - Thomas

Will there be a match history?

We currently have an API available and sites like https://tracker.gg/articles/hyper-scape-tracker-is-now-available and https://tabstats.com/hyperscape are already up and running! We are also working on giving you access to personal and squad stats soon in game. - Graeme

Hello! Enjoying the game thus far, however, there are all of these ominous objects around the map. I imagine they have a story purpose.

We saw a black and red corrupt looking pyramid.

Also, the center area has the same structure as the Zero - G's but does not elevate you. What is that about?

So any details or maybe even times for when we can see this story unfold?

Prisma Dimensions would like to assure all our customers that Hyper Scape is completely stable. The reports regarding "glitches" and "hacks" are merely rumors. The simulation is running as intended and we are happy to welcome all of you on the street of Neo Arcadia. - Dr. Ivy Tan

Are yall planning on adding more song to this amazing soundtrack yall have? If so, I think everyone would agree with me that you should definitely add Frag Out by DJ Assass1n

Yes, we plan to continue with DJ Hyper and other artists to continue adding new music to the game in the future. Here's a link to the current soundtrack if people want it . https://idol.lnk.to/Hyper_Scape_OST - Graeme

Why can’t I aim? 😂 love the game so far also I find the progression on the battle pass slow you can get more points form twitch then the game itself per game

Completing daily and weekly challenges is a big part of progression and should help you progress faster. We are also monitoring progression in general and we will tweak it if needed. - JC

Hey all, we've said it in the past but it's worth repeating: thank you very much for playing the game and taking the time to give feedback. We are very appreciative of it and it's one of the main ways we can make Hyper Scape better!

Thank you for your time and passion! We'll do this again soon when we release our next update later in the season.

Will there be Live events like fortnight? Also I would like to see the memory shard building a puzzle for the community to solve and will 101 news be doing any reporting?

There are several ways we will tell the story during seasons. Next month, we will release our first comic that will shed some light on what is going on at Prisma Dimensions. The kind of things Nahari will want to investigate. - JC
