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@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Ooooh, cool!

Thanks for explaining. :)

[-] fjordbasa@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 17 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 points 3 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.

Finally! A new Day of Defeat!

[-] cassowary@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I would genuinely love that

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

They Hunger: Source.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

> it's Ricochet 2

> pic unrelated

[-] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

That's a game I haven't heard in a long time

Isn't popcap EA these days.

[-] Link@rentadrunk.org 15 points 3 months ago

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago

Half Life 3: Deadlock confirmed

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 months ago

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@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 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.

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

[-] msmc101 4 points 3 months ago

who tf asked for another overwatch clone.

[-] gaylord_fartmaster@lemmy.world 5 points 3 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.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 3 months ago

DOTA: protect the package.

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 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.
