Not really the majority of people want though is it.

Half Life 3 should have been the first game to break in the new engine and show it off

Paytaa3907d ago

If it was the same Valve from 2004-2007 it would've worked out that way. Steam is a fantastic service but it's the reason Valve doesn't make games anymore since they make more money off Steam than any game they would make.

JsonHenry3907d ago

I like the new engine. Everything feels more fluid and solid. Not sure why they bothered with an engine if they're not into making games unless they expect to sell the Source2 engine in droves. But Dota2 is proof that Valve is still in the business of making games. But they've shifted their priorities in what type of games.

Karnalsyn3907d ago

Everything feels more fluid....and solid?

JsonHenry3906d ago

Yes, you can say the animations and effects feel more fluid while the game itself has less hitches and hiccups therefore being more solid.

This is a game engine we're talking about. Not a physical object you pick up and throw around.

Pull your head out of your ass.

.....??!?! lol. Alright pal, might want to refresh yourself on the number of people who play DOTA on a regular basis. Here's a hint: a lot more than your favorite game.

Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities to show off the engine. This is just the first. No need to put your negative spin on things. Resist the temptation, FOX!

I am curious if Respawn will go with this for Titanfall 2.

Couldn't give a shit how many people play it

Half Life, L4D and Portal are all better franchises then DoTA and are more popular.

Fireseed3906d ago

"Couldn't give a s%&* how many people play it"

"Half Life, L4D, and Portal... are more popular"

So you're just willfully ignorant?

Intentions3907d ago

Dota is Valves most played game = most popular.

AzubuEntus3907d ago

All thanks to you -Foxtrot, I'm now motivated to play Dota 2. Thanks a lot!

(This is coming from a user who put 1100+ hours into Dota 2).

Rearden3907d ago

Seems like a good way to test the engine before its prime time in HL3?

JsonHenry3906d ago

Sorry man, as much as I wish it were otherwise, Dota is much more popular than any of those games you listed. Combined.

Sorry, couldn't hear you while you're bowing your head on your knees and delisting non-adult games that your master deemed they didn't like.

Christopher252d ago

Pretty much zero choice for them here. Do you want them to not be able to sell to a huge portion of the market because multiple sources of online payment deny them use?

thorstein252d ago

I understand what you're saying. There are alternatives to Mastercard.

But none of that negates what he did. Sure there's pressure, but he bent the knee.

Alos88252d ago

Man he's really lost a ton of weight, good on him.

anast252d ago

The guy is a videogame slumlord. Looks like is on Ozempic.

Michiel1989252d ago

if someone isn't terminally online on a gaming forum talking out of his ass like you are, you might actually get shit done in real life.

anast251d ago

I'm good here boss. I can post a comment and do other things. I' m surprised you haven't figured that out yet.

Michiel1989251d ago

casually making fun of someone's appearance while you're doing other things. What a class act.

tarot10252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Yes, I'm sure the billionaire white male owner of the company who can close anyone's account really feels threatened.

Next tell me how brave Elon Musk is because he had to deal with someone telling him the Nazi's were actually the bad guys.

Christopher251d ago

Most people in power are narcissists who actually can't deal with this sort of thing like a normal person, let alone many gamers can't deal with it either. Either way, this is just a slice of life look at how even Gabe sucks at games and puts up with people who don't know how to be respectful to others.

AuraAbjure251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

That is sad to think you believe most people in power are significantly flawed in some way. In theory, the strongest and most successful of us are to be admired as inspirations rather than perceived as majorly flawed i.e. "narcissistic."

Christopher251d ago

***That is sad to think you believe most people in power are significantly flawed in some way.***

Common psychological tendencies. It's not sad, just science. And note that 'in power' means CEOs and the like, not just politicians.

Thefeif251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

Looks like Michael Douglas now...weird
