heavy,

I wonder how my man Gordon is doing…

Dettweiler42,

Still bleeding in a warehouse wondering WTF just happened.

Eol,

He passed.

huskypenguin,

Seems derivative.

Dunstabzugshaubitze,

what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?

I’d think tf2 would be one.

Bigmouse,

You’d be correct about tf2.

I would define a hero shooter as having Moba style characters in a Counter Strike style environment.

Zahille7,

Would Siege be considered a hero shooter?

aBundleOfFerrets,

Yes

DragonConsort,

Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?

No. See it has the forbidden number in the title

Illecors,

It’s actually a technical problem - Valve is running 1 bit computers that, due to binary origins, can only represent 2 states. They’d love to release hl3, but that would require coming up with the whole new architecture - at least doubling up to 2 bit cpu. Imagine the headache of adapting all the toolchain to build the game!

aBundleOfFerrets,

Valve could trivially circumvent this limitation by using a multi-precision library such as MPFR

Illecors,

See, that’s a common mistake - MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. Valve is, unfortunately, still stuck to integers. Their floating point appears to be functioning correctly as they’ve managed to avoid kernel panic releasing hl2e{1,2} - you can look at that as floats 2.1 and 2.2.

aBundleOfFerrets,

Fine, use the other GNU multi-precision library

Illecors,

Got me there :D

bionicjoey,

If only Valve already had a wildly popular hero shooter with loveable characters.

Vent,

I guess the Overwatch market is wide open ever since Overwatch self destructed

MysticKetchup,

I thought Valorant took that spot?

Vent,

That’s more of a Counter Strike clone. The “abilities” are more akin to CS utilities like smokes and flashes than they are to Overwatch characters. The rest of the game is pretty much a direct copy of CS.

BigWumbo,

The PvP experience itself has actually never been in a better spot imo in terms of content delivery and balance cadence
