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 2 years ago

Ooooh, cool!

Thanks for explaining. :)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years 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.

[–] TheUnicornOfPerfidy@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years 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.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 2 years 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.

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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.

[–] magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Finally! A new Day of Defeat!

[–] cassowary@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I would genuinely love that

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

They Hunger: Source.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

> it's Ricochet 2

> pic unrelated

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

Isn't popcap EA these days.

Half Life 3: Deadlock confirmed

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years 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.

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Monkey paw:

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