Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter
Valve's next game is an Overwatch-style third-person hero shooter named Deadlock, a new report has stated. Details have…
Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter.
It's a Team Fortress Style Hero Shooter
Because it's a Valve game
Because TF2 Inspired Overwatch
Get it right
Whatever it ends up being, I'm not interested. Never cared for competitive gaming. Sad that Valve has decided to use part of their enormous talent pool for, well, this while almost any genre would've been better.
Also, this is already a highly saturated niche. I don't doubt Valve's technical prowess and knowhow to develop a game that can surpass all the other ones in quality, but a gilded turd is still a turd under that gold leaf, even if it's technically the best turd in the world.
I, for once am excited. I didn't buy Overwatch since I was deeply disappointed in Blizzard, after D3. Then the whole pandering to CCP and Blitzchung fiasco happened and that cemented my decision.
I didn't play Valor ant since I don't enjoy having a Chinese kernel level spyware on my PC.
So this may be something that can satisfy my itch.
Calling things an OverWatch style shooter is a bit like calling every first person shooter a Doom clone. Just call it a hero shooter I know what a hero shooter is. You don't need to compare it to another game.
It's bad enough that the term a "roguelike" exists, I can guarantee that hardly anyone who plays them has ever actually played rogue, and fair enough since it's ancient, so they have no idea if the game they're playing is like it or not.
Team Fortress th-… 2: episode 1?
You know this sounds like battleborn and i miss battleborn. I'm kinda excited.
I had a lot of good times and even more bad times with DotA over the years, until I finally freed myself from it years ago.
IceFrog being behind this backed by Valve bodes well, and I think the premise of an FPS/MOBA hybrid has promise, despite the market being insanely oversaturated already.
I'm not really interested in competitive games these days, but I hope it'll be good to watch at least. Following The International was fun even after I quit DotA.
Fuck it, I'm down (unless it's a moba, then no thanks)
Ugh, as if we don't have enough of this kind of game already. SMITE 2 and Marvel Rivals are coming soon. Valve for fucks sake, look at how well Half Life: Alyx did. I seriously hope they're working on a future Half Life game or some new story driven style game at the very least. I'm calling it now, Deadlock is going to be another Artifact.
Somehow I get the feeling Valve still had some lingering feelings about the failure of Valve's TF2 comp and they're trying to right their wrongs.

Gigantic can't catch a break :(
I really like what I see , and icefrog has been working on it for a long time. If he's involved then I'm interested, the man created the moba genre and IMO the best moba on the market.
I thought overwatch was based on team fortress. Why not just a new team fortress?
That's interesting... bold move though. I can think of MANY failed 3rd person mobas.
Sounds boring.
The screenshots look like a MOBA such as Smite or Predecessor
Dammit.
I wonder how many loot boxes will be made and how many lives ruined….
If companies see titles like Overwatch and Fortnite and want to be MORE like that, then I'm just done with anything other than Indie Games and Singleplayer at this point.
This game doesn’t look terrible going off screenshots, but I’ll wait until an actual announcement. I’m hoping this may lead into them making more games in the future though.
Speaking of Valve games, why did I ever stop playing Left 4 Dead? I need to play that again.
