I don’t get the hate. A 1st person moba sounds fucking fire. Added bonus that it’s valve’s community.
is it caz tf2 is on fire?
EDIT: oh, it’s 3rd person! sry
Yes
Sounds fire? So surely you’ve heard of Smite then? Or Paragon? Or Paragon: Overprime? Or Predecessor?
I thought about mentioning Smite myself, but it’s over-the-shoulder, not 1st person. From a quick Google, Paragon and Predecessor seem to be the same.
Yes, but I commented after the edit where the OP realized their mistake and corrected it to 3rd person.
I didn’t but I do like the idea
If you’re interested in a 1st person moba, try smite
Smite is 3rd person though
I’ve made a mistake, it’s 3rd person. Sorry, just don’t wanna missinform
Take2 tried it with Battleborn, but failed miserably. Sincerely hoping Valve is more successful. I would love to play a 1st person moba.
I’ve made a mistake, it’s 3rd person. Sorry, just don’t wanna missinform
I’ve seen pre-alpha gameplay and it’s currently 3rd person. Maybe they’ll change it though. Valve tends to test heavily and make lots of changes over time before release.
I’m really hopeful. I want something to scratch the Overwatch itch after it’s gone down hill.
I’m not big into multiplayer games, but I have noticed that lemmy and Reddit just get very pessimistic whenever a beloved company announces a multiplayer game
TF2 was on fire for years and they did jack shit. Yeah that makes me veeery optimistic and excited about their next game (/s)
but they got hats, and if you really think about it, that’s not much less than what most competetive games get for updates (only skins)
Epic Games had a first person shooter moba, called Paragon, that failed and closed down. It was actually not bad, just not popular enough.
To say it’s a “4 lane overwatch”, overwatch still has to exist
He meant Overwatch 2
Which is also kinda not a thing. It doesn’t know what to do with itself except skins and reboots, can’t call it a genre defining game (anymore).
Overwatch 2 isnt even a second installment. (Laughs in someone who purchased OW1 and unlocked content).
as someone who doesn’t care for competitive fps’s, is this pro-valve or anti-valve?
They’re saying Valve are lazy for making a near-copy of another game
Which is funny because overwatch was a near-copy of Valve’s TF2.
It’s almost like competition may even make better games of their target genre
No, it’s new ideas and authentic expression.
Why make a new car? The model T has 4 wheels and a seat, doesn’t it?
And was actually really good off road!
Obviously
it really wasn’t people just liked to compare both of them because both of them were “fps hero shooter” but the core gameplay and mechanics were very much different.
It’s just an attention grab. There are literally 4 screenshots of this new game that have been leaked. There’s basically no info about it. To say it’s a clone of another game is ridiculous. Like saying it’s a clone of Doom because it has guns.
Was the gameplay video I stumbled across somewhere not legitimate?
Streamers and their friends have been playing it for a while and streaming it in secret in Discord for the Friends and Family tests. I know about 10 people who have access and have been playing it the last week. I don’t like this kind of game so it looks boring to me, but just saying its not just based on sceeenshots.
Or maybe a Dota-inspired collectible card game? 🙃
Fuck you Garfield
I’m in the play test for this, and boy is this meme wrong.
Why? (I’m excited for this)
If I break NDA, Gaben will come for me. There’s leaked YouTube videos though.
Oh yeah that’s true, I’m too in a NDA-protected MOBA project by the old team behind League of Legends
And it’s amazing, it’s called Project Loki & they’ll show more the 25th June!
Me: Huh? Valve is making a new game?
(watches gameplay)
Me: Oh it’s just Battleborn with four lanes.
what game is that?
Deadlock
Thanks, been reading all these comments and I’m like, ok im the only one here who doesn’t know what game they talking about
billions of dollars and still no indication of half life 3 come on gaben just make it bug free and well optimized on release its gonna be a hit since most triple a games these days are half baked rushed products
