amio, do games w Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter

So they're ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

There’s no such thing as an original idea. Just look at tvtropes. The whole idea is to make a new take on a previous idea, to integrate and innovate. No idea if this will be successful in doing that, but the premise alone shouldn’t condemn it.

god this is like when everyone called first person shooters “doom clones”, overwatch is absolutely not a tf2 ripoff lmao, and making a hero shooter does not mean it’s an overwatch ripoff either.

Valve famously only works on what excites them. You’re yelling me THIS is that?? How utterly defeatingly disappointing.

newthrowaway20,

Bold statement. Might wanna hold judgment till you actually see some gameplay.

Kecessa, (edited )

It goes both ways then, people who are happy should shut up until they see some gameplay.

newthrowaway20,

Yeah I agree.

We don’t know anything yet.

WereCat,

But sir… The comment section? Why are we here?

danthehutt,

People who don’t care are allowed to comment, that’s it.

MDKAOD,

Artifact would like a word.

reagansrottencorpse,

While I’ll likely still play this I have to agree.

Breadhax0r,

Typically valve only puts out games that showcase something new, so might be interesting

dustyData,

Looks nervously at counter strike and dota.

smeg,

They were both originally mods that they adopted rather than original creations though, right?

Breadhax0r,

I think, also if I recall both games were genre defining

dsemy, (edited )

Is it really surprising? It’s not like it’s their first competitive shooter.

BruceTwarzen,

Like idk, when overwatch came out, it was an absolute blast. I wasn't looking forward to it at all, i didn't care for it a bit until i played it. It just got run into the ground slowly. Also they made team fortress 2 way WAY before, and yeah that's what they excites them.

GeneralEmergency,

Just think of the loot boxes they can sell.

BurningnnTree,

Valve’s game development division feels more like a weird cult than a proper game company. I don’t think they get “excited” for the things that most people get excited for. (Remember when they were excited for a virtual card game where you have to pay for every card?) The Valve of the 2000s is long gone IMO

Sounds more like TF2 crossed with DOTA, which sounds weirdly fun and hella toxic.

ji59,

Isn't Smite exactly this?

JJROKCZ,

Ish, smite is literally a MOBA with the camera sitting behind the characters shoulder instead of top-down.

Easiest and only description of SMITE is third-person MOBA. I’ve played since 2012

I can't wait to be called new and exciting racial slurs as I lose the game for my team.

mynachmadarch,

Or bring back the classics. I haven't been called a swamp kisser in a while.

I don't want to get banned but just assume I tend to go 1 and 15 and every notices every time.

ColeSloth,

I bet it will be made to run awesome on steam deck.

Try out Predecessor, it’s F2P and exactly this

CosmoNova,

Can you imagine the chaos of a veteran Dota2 player being matched with a notorious conga dancer?

Sounds more like SMITE than overwatch

flamingarms,

Or Paragon even. That game was so fun back in the day before it got killed. If anyone can make something that fun again, it’s probably Valve.

BruceTwarzen,

Was it really that good? I heard it was overwatch from wish when it launched but then got better. I never tried it, because i didn't wanna learn something new.

flamingarms,

It was a hero shooter MOBA but with some verticality, so that’s about as far as the Overwatch comparison goes. I had a great time with it. I like traditional MOBAs but don’t have the skill/patience/time for them, so hero shooter MOBAs are the perfect way for me to be able to play them more casually. In my opinion, of the few I’ve tried, Paragon was the best implementation of a hero shooter MOBA; the core gameplay just felt really tight to me.

bagelberger,

There’s a remake out right now called Predecessor that I’ve been enjoying, free on PC/PS/Xbox.

flamingarms,

Oh shit, I hadn’t heard of that. I’ll definitely check it out; thanks for the recommendation.

MR_GABARISE,

Before that there was Super Monday Night Combat.

micka190,

God I miss Monday Night Combat. It was one of my favorite indie games on the 360.

flamingarms,

Yeah, that really brings me back. I had like 4 tokens on Steam to give the game away when they were trying to get more people to play. There was some other hero shooter MOBA a little after that too, by Epic or something. Didn’t last very long and wasn’t all that great, but I still played the shit out of the falcon character that could “fly”. Man, I need to jump into another one of these games.

neidu2, (edited ) do gaming w Take-Two CEO says he's 'not trying to be cute or difficult' with vague answers about the fate of the Kerbal and OlliOlli studios, but is kind of being cute and difficult

ShadowZone on youtube has a pretty good analysis of what we know, what we don’t know, and lays out some possible (and realistic) scenarios as to what’s going on.

My personal (un)educated guess regarding the lack of official news is due to the fact that T2 will be releasing an earnings report shortly, and needs to keep things quiet. I hope the release more detailed statements once the quarterly is done.

ABCDE, do games w Steam is now banned in Vietnam

This was about a week ago, since then it was unblocked, then reblocked. Note, this is only the store itself (and the store within Steam), you can still play your existing games, so it seems they have blocked the store front to hamstring or reduce sales so that Valve will then pay whatever tax amount is going to be asked for.

I’m taking this off of my list of places to move if I ever fake my death.

MrScottyTay,

If you faked your death you’d likely never want to tie yourself to any platform that requires you to make an account that could in time be used to identify you

bassomitron,

What if it’s tied to your new identity? But idk, starting your whole library over from scratch… Better hope that insurance payout is nice.

Neon,

That’s why we use GOG and download the Installers!

@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

You don’t have a separate 100% anonymous steam account to use in case of having to fake your death? Your loss tbh…

isles,

Why buy one steam library when you can buy two for twice the price?

I am moving “faking my own death” lower on the list of retirement plans.

njm1314, do games w Steam is now banned in Vietnam

Again?

pycorax, do games w Steam is now banned in Vietnam

This all just sounds like the publisher or MBAs speaking. Did they ask the actual developers on their opinions?

Emanuel,

Also, it seems like the ISPs were the ones that blocked access. No word from the government yet. Kinda weird to call this a “ban”.

60fpsrefugee,

As far as i know, only the Steam Store domain is blocked by ISP’s DNS. So changing to Google DNS would easily bypass it.

lemmyvore,

Do they not also block access to the Steam IPs?

60fpsrefugee,

No, for now anyway.

All ISPs under the same company/person/organization?

MustrumR,

VTC is a state owned enterprise...

Citing it as “an injustice to domestic publishers”, Vietnamese studios reportedly say that local game development “will die” if Steam is able to keep releasing games without the same government scrutiny as domestic games…

Yeah! It’s so unfair that one person can put their heart and soul into making a game on their own, self publish, and be successful! No way anyone else could possibly do that!

assassin_aragorn, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

Legitimately one of my favorite games. Incredible story, characters, and side quests. It’s also the only time I’ve actually felt like I was in a city when playing a game, they absolutely nail the environment and setting. It feels like a true city, not a video game city.

User79185, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

I’m gaming since 90s and I absolutely love this game

Second run female V. Discovered the game this year because I play it on Mac (using Whisky) and it wasn’t possible before.

I am not a gamer (as you can tell by my computer’s brand) as I really struggle to find games I want to invest time into. I’m too old to enjoy the thrill of dying 20 times in a row to kill a boss (been a WoW hard player for a few years, but mostly for the lore when it was still great) so I play easy mode and enjoy each and every bit of dialogue I can.

This game is one of the best Sci-Fi movie I’ve seen in years. Sometimes it makes me feel like I’m in 1982’s Blade Runner, waiting for Rutger Hauer to make an appearance. I already met Daryl Hannah and Sean Young (or very resembling characters at least).

Anyway, I don’t care much that the launch was terrible. I’m just glad the game exists.

PS: As a Metalhead myself, the only things I dislike about the game is Johnny’s band stuff. The game’s music is absolute dope though.

morbidcactus,

Tomb Mold does a few of the tracks on Ritual FM, I really liked that they got realworld artists to do in universe tracks. All of the stations are solid, love that they implemented radio outside of vehicles as well.
