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. :)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 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.

[–] TheUnicornOfPerfidy@feddit.uk 5 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.

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 19 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

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

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 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.

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 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.

[–] 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.

[–] magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

> it's Ricochet 2

> pic unrelated

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Link@rentadrunk.org 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t TF2 a hero shooter?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 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 5 points 3 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

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 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.

[–] awesome_lowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 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.

[–] 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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

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

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Half Life 3

I want Valve to finish their Trinity. Lololololol

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Monkey paw:

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