Half Life 3 confirmed

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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

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] 2 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 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.

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

Easy way to finish the arc while squashing hype.

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

> it's Ricochet 2

> pic unrelated

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

Finally! A new Day of Defeat!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I would genuinely love that

Peggle 3 confirmed

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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] 2 points 3 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] 1 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

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

who tf asked for another overwatch clone.

[–] [email protected] 1 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.
