    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

      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.

      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 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.

        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?

      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.

          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.

    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
