Another Valve development cycle experiment? Show next to nothing of the game, then show and release in fairly quick succession?
Can't wait to see what they've done, Valve games are always awesome.
[QUOTE=Memobot;31473385]Another Valve development cycle experiment? Show next to nothing of the game, then show and release in fairly quick succession?[/QUOTE] Like they are doing with ep3/hl3?
This should be interesting, a tournament and everything, great way to show off a game. [editline]1st August 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Memobot;31473385]Another Valve development cycle experiment? Show next to nothing of the game, then show and release in fairly quick succession?[/QUOTE] Not really an experiment. Half-Life 2 was supposed to be released 1 month after being announced but it got delayed due to getting leaked.
I'm not excited for this game, mainly because of the community it would inherit.
you have friends for a reason :v:
$1 million dollars? Holy shit.
I'm fairly confident this will be F2p so I'll give it a gander for sure.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31473617]Valve is releasing two games in the same year, that aren't bundled together, the apocalypse is here.[/QUOTE] This. I think we might even get to hear about the next Half Life game....within 6 months.
So, Gabe Newell is making his own fight to the death competition for his personal enjoyment.
[QUOTE=Lazor;31473692]I'm fairly confident this will be F2p so I'll give it a gander for sure.[/QUOTE] oh, it will be. However, it's going to feature valve's biggest clothing store ever.
It's not going to be F2P imo. They need to make a return on their investment, and Valve aren't fans of selling gameplay. I don't think a robes store would make as much money as selling the game would.
Isn't Dota, also defense of the ancients? a warcraft3 mod.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31473514]hl2 wasn't delayed because it was leaked, it was going through a major redesign at the time of the leaking, hence why there were a fuckload of duplicated incomplete assets[/QUOTE] IIRC, Valve had internally delayed the game and after it was leaked all the fans discovered that they had delayed it and didn't say it publicly.
[QUOTE=The BoxDog;31474100]Isn't Dota, also defense of the ancients? a warcraft3 mod.[/QUOTE] A, duh? Dota 2 is a remake of that.
I'll be there to report any news live to you guys.
[QUOTE=KingKombat;31474214]IIRC, Valve had internally delayed the game and after it was leaked all the fans discovered that they had delayed it and didn't say it publicly.[/QUOTE] It needs to be free to able to compete with LoL, HoN.
[QUOTE=aydin690;31474470]It needs to be free to able to compete with LoL, HoN.[/QUOTE] You mean it needs a TF2 hat promotion?
Oh wow. Game isn't even released and they still bring out a million dollar tournament. Seems it will be e-sport supported alot.
Valve never said it'll be out in 2011
[QUOTE=Blueplastic;31476270]Valve never said it'll be out in 2011[/QUOTE] Exactly, it's just RPS going with an attention grabbing title to get views and shit.

[QUOTE=raBBish;31476842][url]http://blog.dota2.com/[/url] [url]http://store.steampowered.com/news/5967/[/url][/QUOTE] oh silly me. [editline]1st August 2011[/editline] Forgot that Valve said it long time ago. Few days after the announcement.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31477067]And we still have no in-game footage.[/QUOTE] in 2 weeks there will be. LOTS OF IT
Is it just me or with every spec of EP3 hope that then valve being in something else
[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;31473558]I'm not excited for this game, mainly because of the community it would inherit.[/QUOTE] I'm not really all that excited for it either, although mainly because I'm just not a fan of these sort of games. Chances of it being the first Valve game I won't own is very likely.
i just wish they would finish Episode 3 so i can stop hearing about it
[QUOTE=aydin690;31474470]It needs to be free to able to compete with LoL, HoN.[/QUOTE] It's Dota and it's made by Valve, it will sell like hotcakes.
[QUOTE=Atlascore;31480410]EP3 and Dota 2 are valve's only unreleased games left, they'll have to show something about it eventually, Gamescom is the perfect place too, it usually has over 200,000 attendants, it would generate a shit load of hype.[/QUOTE] Before Dota 2 was announced all the games we thought Valve had left were Portal 2 and Ep3. So they could very easily be making something else like a new Counter Strike or new IP.
