As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc....
I keep seeing everyone comparing this to overwatch, how is this like overwatch at all? Just because you pick a character and they have unique abilities?
I’ve been playing dota for over a decade and couldn’t get into any other moba I’ve ever tried, but I think this sounds like it could be fun and I’d give it a chance at least.
Edit: I take that back, I’ve played exactly one other game I’d classify as a moba extensively, and it was Monday Night Combat, which was really similar to this concept. Super Monday Night Combat killed it and sucked though.
I loved that game. If Valve wants to take a crack at making Super Monday Night Combat but done well I’m here for it, and I think they could pull it off.
Having a talking woman in your phone is not stealing Scarlet Johansson’s likeness, even if they sound somewhat similar. US copyright law is already ridiculous, and you want to make it even more bullshit?
By that logic her role in Her was already stealing the voice actor for Siri’s likeness, and she should have sued for that too.
I’m not an expert on this by any means, but I think the issue is they would have to work out how to encode the audio for surround themselves, and then it would be up to all of the different AV receivers out there to decode it properly. Using Dolby just standardizes it to where if your receiver supports that format you know it’ll decode it properly.
Still a great example on why not to preorder, the game needed years of more work to be in an acceptable state. Why waste your time and money when you could just hold off until the game is actually finished, or at least until you can confirm it’s actually worth the investment based on its quality to you.
The game now requires an always-online connection, even if you play offline. Just tried it myself by setting Steam to offline mode and you can never ‘Ready Up’ into a map. This was not the case before the Epic Games Store integration they did awhile ago....
I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt like this. I kept thinking maybe I just wasn’t giving it a fair chance but I loved KF1 and was immediately put off by KF2.
I felt the same way about Red Orchestra 2 to a much lesser extent. I was super hyped about Tripwire overall at the time and thought it was awesome a mod team was getting funding to make the full-scale games they wanted, and they basically just immediately lost all momentum after that.
And other means of preventing it like pixel shift and refresh. Time will tell how long the current generation lasts but it’s only going to get more and more easily mitigated.
Today, one day after Microsoft announced that it would shut down four of its games studios, Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, held a town hall to discuss the division’s future goals. “We need smaller games that give us prestige and awards,” Booty told employees, according to internal remarks shared with The Verge....
I wouldn’t be surprised if licensing a song to a video game pays more than the fractions of a cent per stream you get from the bump afterward, and exposure doesn’t pay your bills.
GTA is one of the few games where the value of exposure might actually be worth it during negotiations though. That’s getting up to doing the super bowl half time show for free levels of publicity.
Why did you feel the need to come into this thread and broadcast your opinion on something you know nothing about? Encryption is not made any less effective just because people made free tools to implement it easily.
It’s just math. It’s not a finite resource, and there isn’t “premium math” you have to go buy at the math store to make your encryption stronger.
He’s not saying Doom was the first FPS, he’s saying the term “First Person Shooter” didn’t exist yet to describe the few games it would apply to at the time.
As most of you know, HL3 is pretty much the most popular “vaporware” game out there. Something always rumored and in development, but never heard again after a certain point....
It was, devs just realized they don’t have to break the content up into episodes or actually complete the first part they release, and can call it early access instead.
I was skeptical about DeArrow but it is absolutely worth it. I don’t use the thumbnail replacer but removing clickbait titles makes YouTube so much more usable.
Then offer to host the database/servers on your own dime and make it free for everyone. It’s a completely reasonable price with the option to try it for free before paying.
