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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

I didn't but I do like the idea

[–] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] Butterpaderp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Smite is 3rd person though

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

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

[–] Phunter@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year 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.

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

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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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)

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 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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 35 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

Was the gameplay video I stumbled across somewhere not legitimate?

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

Or maybe a Dota-inspired collectible card game? 🙃

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck you Garfield

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

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

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

Why? (I’m excited for this)

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

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

[–] hector@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year 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!

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 1 year 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
