Unfortunately, it's a new game probably named Deadlock. Not hl3.

A leaked MOBA/hero shooter, designed by the Dota 2 designer, that they had been running playtests on.

[–] Potatisen 5 points 7 months ago

Ooooh, cool!

Thanks for explaining. :)

A new hero shooter just does not sound interesting to me, even if it is valve…

[–] Skullgrid 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

TF3. BAM.

TF was basically the original hero shooter anyway. What is it missing, Ults? Medic even had that, it's called ubercharge.

I've been waiting a long time for Titan Fall 3. That's what you mean right? It couldn't be anything else could it? Definitely not.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If it could fill the void left by Overwatch 1 being taken out back and shot, I'll play it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It's really really good, you'll like it :)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's a hero shooter/MOBA and IceFrog (DotA designer) is working on it. That's enough on top of the Valve factor to at least make me curious, even though I otherwise share your sentiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Man, I remember the days when IceFrog was this new name that had appeared out of nowhere to revive 5.84c.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

You're more venerable than me, then. I only started playing a bit after he took over, around 6.10 or so I would say. I heard of the old versions by Eul and Guinsoo, but I never actually played any of them I think.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Finally! A new Day of Defeat!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I would genuinely love that

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[–] Evotech 8 points 7 months ago

It's kinda funny since overwatch was being thought of as a tf2 come back in the days.

[–] Feathercrown 5 points 7 months ago

TF2 is probably being left as it is for a long time

Isn't popcap EA these days.

Half Life 3: Deadlock confirmed

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've heard the explanation that they're not working on the half life series because they want to have bigger leaps in innovation, but then they work on a moba/hero shooter.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They're not working on the half life series because there's no way they'll ever live up to the hype that's built up. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.

[–] woelkchen 3 points 7 months ago

"We outsourced development of Episode 3 to finish telling the story."

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

They have all the talent, budget and time they would ever need. No amount of hype will ever detract from a good game. Hell even cyberpunk managed to stay afloat after a disastrous launch and will be remembered positively by people that played the patched versions. I don't believe the hype thing either.

A landing of Covenant troop carriers at Disney World also could be coming soon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

It's time for Prospero to finally shine, nearly 30 years later!

Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol

[–] _stranger_ 4 points 7 months ago

Monkey paw:

Half Life 3 is basically a reskin of overwatch. There is no story mode.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I've been playing the playtest version and I find the game is just okay. It's basically exactly like Dota but 3rd person and with movement mechanics like dashing/slide/double jump. It feels and looks great but there's just so much going on that it feels like I'm constantly missing something. I think the skill ceiling will be incredibly high.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

who tf asked for another overwatch clone.

[–] gaylord_fartmaster 5 points 7 months ago

Overwatch did not invent playing a character that has abilities on a cooldown. It's much more like fast-paced dota with guns.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

DOTA: protect the package.
