I don't get the hate. A 1st person moba sounds fucking fire. Added bonus that it's valve's community.

is it caz tf2 is on fire?

EDIT: oh, it's 3rd person! sry

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Sounds fire? So surely you've heard of Smite then? Or Paragon? Or Paragon: Overprime? Or Predecessor?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I thought about mentioning Smite myself, but it's over-the-shoulder, not 1st person. From a quick Google, Paragon and Predecessor seem to be the same.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Yes, but I commented after the edit where the OP realized their mistake and corrected it to 3rd person.

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I didn't but I do like the idea

If you're interested in a 1st person moba, try smite

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Smite is 3rd person though

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

I've made a mistake, it's 3rd person. Sorry, just don't wanna missinform

[–] toffi@feddit.de 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Take2 tried it with Battleborn, but failed miserably. Sincerely hoping Valve is more successful. I would love to play a 1st person moba.

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

[–] Phunter@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

I've seen pre-alpha gameplay and it's currently 3rd person. Maybe they'll change it though. Valve tends to test heavily and make lots of changes over time before release.

[–] mushroomstormtrooper@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I'm really hopeful. I want something to scratch the Overwatch itch after it's gone down hill.

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I’m not big into multiplayer games, but I have noticed that lemmy and Reddit just get very pessimistic whenever a beloved company announces a multiplayer game

[–] pkmkdz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

TF2 was on fire for years and they did jack shit. Yeah that makes me veeery optimistic and excited about their next game (/s)

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

but they got hats, and if you really think about it, that's not much less than what most competetive games get for updates (only skins)

[–] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Epic Games had a first person shooter moba, called Paragon, that failed and closed down. It was actually not bad, just not popular enough.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 52 points 5 months ago (1 children)

To say it's a "4 lane overwatch", overwatch still has to exist

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Which is also kinda not a thing. It doesn't know what to do with itself except skins and reboots, can't call it a genre defining game (anymore).

Overwatch 2 isnt even a second installment. (Laughs in someone who purchased OW1 and unlocked content).

[–] nyahlathotep@sh.itjust.works 34 points 5 months ago (2 children)

as someone who doesn't care for competitive fps's, is this pro-valve or anti-valve?

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 41 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're saying Valve are lazy for making a near-copy of another game

[–] anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works 38 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Which is funny because overwatch was a near-copy of Valve’s TF2.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's almost like competition may even make better games of their target genre

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world -4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

No, it's new ideas and authentic expression.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why make a new car? The model T has 4 wheels and a seat, doesn't it?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

And was actually really good off road!

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 5 months ago
[–] daniyeg@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 months ago

it really wasn't people just liked to compare both of them because both of them were "fps hero shooter" but the core gameplay and mechanics were very much different.

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

It's just an attention grab. There are literally 4 screenshots of this new game that have been leaked. There's basically no info about it. To say it's a clone of another game is ridiculous. Like saying it's a clone of Doom because it has guns.

[–] Romkslrqusz@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

Was the gameplay video I stumbled across somewhere not legitimate?

[–] Laser@feddit.de 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Or maybe a Dota-inspired collectible card game? 🙃

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Fuck you Garfield

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm in the play test for this, and boy is this meme wrong.

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why? (I’m excited for this)

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If I break NDA, Gaben will come for me. There's leaked YouTube videos though.

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah that’s true, I’m too in a NDA-protected MOBA project by the old team behind League of Legends

And it’s amazing, it’s called Project Loki & they’ll show more the 25th June!

[–] ssj2marx@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Me: Huh? Valve is making a new game?

(watches gameplay)

Me: Oh it's just Battleborn with four lanes.

Thanks, been reading all these comments and I'm like, ok im the only one here who doesn't know what game they talking about

[–] Iloveyurianime@ani.social 1 points 5 months ago

billions of dollars and still no indication of half life 3 come on gaben just make it bug free and well optimized on release its gonna be a hit since most triple a games these days are half baked rushed products
