I miss when valve made games and not platforms for 12 years olds to buy microtransactions

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Half-Life 3... confirmed?

 

[Arsic]

Valve doesn’t miss.

Day one.

 

[ryzen1]

Instead of giving us L4D3 and filling it with a shit ton of microtransactions. They give us this?
People need to stop playing all these Gaas shit

[LazyParrot]

CS:GO, DOTA 2 and TF2 are pretty much the only F2P live service games I ever spent significant amounts of time on, so I don't particularly mind them making another one.

 

[Boneless]

I have loved dota, dota2, TF2 and CS2. That does not mean mixing this ingredients make a great dish, but I am excited to see more.

 

[The_Observer]

Ah, another wonderful, never before seen unique game from the creators of Half-Life

 

[Pejo]

Here's an imgur album with all of the leaked pics in one place, i dunno if it's elsewhere in the thread:



Sucks, I wish they'd make another narrative focused FPS campaign. I really need to get a PC VR headset so I can try out HL:Alyx.

 

[Sentenza]

It's Valve so it will surely be AT LEAST a competent game in terms of execution, if not properly well-made.
Too bad I can't exactly say I'm excited for the genre.

Then again personally everything multiplayer-focused is almost automatically a MEH for me, so there's that.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Valve doesn’t miss.

Day one.

Artifact wasn't exactly a hit and CS2 was a bit of a downgrade when I played it near launch.

 

[THE DUCK]

Valve makes games?

 

[Hudo]

Valve makes games?

I mean, Half-Life: Alyx was cool. This however, is ... I dunno what to say.

I am sure there will be plenty of people who will like this, unfortunately...
It's just not what I want from Valve. I feel it's a massive waste of their talents to do some multiplayer-focused mtx/live-service shit. But oh well..

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Loved Overwatch until it got royally fucking ruined. This actually sounds interesting IMO.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Not what I’d want see from Valve, but I won’t write it off without looking at it either.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Valve doesn’t miss.

Day one.

No one is perfect:

Exactly. Artifact was one of the biggest failures, and it was Valve's. They had marketing all over Steam, and no one cared. They shut it down fairly fast too.

REALLY hoping Deadlock is solid and successful. Alyx was/is great, and CS2 continues to improve though cheating is still screwed. So, at least there's some kind of hope.

It doesn't look bad but it looks a lot like the competition

 

[Dr. Suchong]

 

[Piggoro]

I'm very disappointed. I'd rather they were mysterious and don't announce anything for another few years that THAT.

 

[12Goblins]

Looks like shit but that dont matter. Icefrog is behind this and im enjoying people in this thread so gleefully signing themselves up for a crow dinner

 

[iHaunter]

Paragon came back as Predecessor. You can play it right now:

Fast-paced action game that combines MOBA and FPS | Predecessor

Predecessor is a fast-paced action game that combines MOBA and FPS gameplay to put you at the heart of the fight with strategic choice, third-person control, and immersive action.

I don't know man. I was always expecting something new, something special from Valve. The leaked screenshots and game description look super uninspired to me. Like Valoverantwatch at home.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I acrually got it for free during one of Epic's giveaways. It looks great, but I'm not a moba gamer so its not really into it.

 

[ozz ex machina]

My main concern with this is if it is going to have a clear identity or not. We only know leaks so far so it's not fair for me to judge anything yet. But from what I have read I suspect this game will try to be too many different things and nothing to everyone.

For example - I value mechanical movement/aiming skill above all else, things you see in CS, quake, TF2 (competitive shooters for grown ups). Is this game going to appeal to me? Or is it for the moba fans who value strategy, copying meta builds and having a spell do most of the mechanical work for you beyond basic micro/positioning/teamwork. From my experience games that try to combine these elements are just a hot mess - overwatch, valorant, insert other generic shooter with moba abilities/ultimates.

The game will get a lot of exposure purely because it's valve. It's one of those things, if this exact product came out and was made by a startup with next to no marketing. Would it die on release? Probably. But I hope it's good.

Sounds wank

 

[MrRenegade]

Seems like all their online games do not bring in ENOUGH revenue... This is typical Gabe Newell shit. I swim in money, but my 10 acre swimming pool is not big enough. I vividly remember when GN said that he doesn't like games where people cannot experience EVERY art/sounds/assets they created and that's shit. Even Warren Spector joined the discussion saying, that's not a problem, and came with Deus Ex as a prime example, but of course GN didn't like that. So don't expect anything single player like from Valve, just things that take your time.

Ton of new footage, it looks pretty far along tbh.

Not sure how sold I am on the style, looks like there's a bit much going on. Some of the UI stuff reminds me of Persona which, while cool stylistically, can be distracting in this type of a game.

 

[nani17]

All leaked footage

 

[P:axMagellanic]

The spastic shit that people play nowadays.

 

[Hudo]

I just hope this doesn't mean that all their video game development resources are occupied with this... I hope they have some other games in development as well.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

The Smite 2 devs can't be happy about this. This is as 3rd person MOBA as you can get.

 

[N30RYU]

[Griffon]

A summary of the thread so far...

Valve is close to revealing their new 3rd person, hero based MOBA. A genre in which there are about 7 games total.

NeoGAF: *Whines about creative bankruptcy because 7 is too many*

Will update further as the insightful takes load in.

Yep, there I agree with you.
Good hero shooters are extremely rare, and since OW2 shat the bed, there's a huge gap where Valve could fit in.

In theory this is a good plan, but then... there's the footage... it looks like total ass sadly (not just because it's an alpha, the art direction is dreadful too).

 

[Oppoi]

I'm uninstalling Steam right now...

 

[12Goblins]

Nobody here has an invite to spare? apparently lots of them going around. .PLEASE HOOK ME UP

 

[Renoir]

all these games have the same art style from team fortress/fortnite/overwatch.
Can we get that type of game but look like Killzone?

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Came in to say I've found Predecessor from this thread, Paragon was re-alived and I didn't even know lol...SO GOOD!!

Also, anyone got a key spare for the alpha/beta thang for Deadlock? this looks like the MOBA I've been waiting for since Paragon shut down!!

I've been playing it. Always hated mobas in general. However, this is Overwatch moba and I am enjoying it.
