IGN: Valve's Next Game

If you've never played DotA, also known as Defense of the Ancients, trying to figure out how it all works can be confusing. This is especially true if you're hopping in with people who've been playing for years and have a fondness for lashing out at those less knowledgeable.

Hmm, not Valve's style. Will most likely be brilliant.

Seeing as how Source is one of the most modded engines and has a huge community, I can't wait to see the content the modders can come up with for DotA 2.

Ultraplayerxp5631d ago

How cool would it be if they could pull this off on consoles?

Cartesian3D5632d ago

DotA was a map from Warcraft 3, it was awesome btw..

I dont think this project consume all of their human resources and time , its just a medium budget game with huge fanbase..

dont worry about HL3 , they know its an instant profit , Im sure they want it to be perfect

user8586215631d ago

hell ya! a wants ma hl3 now dammit! >_<

ironfist925631d ago

Lol. Love the delivery if that one. But yes, I think many a gamer would prefer Half Life 3/Episode 3 than DotA

Daver5631d ago

I would love a Left for dead 3 kinda like COD zombies mode but more deap

I really want to see how certain characters will look.

AwesomeJizz5632d ago

I'm getting sick of Valve and their shitty fucking choices. They know we want HL2EP3 but they will keep shoving this crap down our throats.

Jack-Pyro5632d ago

TF2 Expansions, L4D 1&2, as well as DoTA is hardly crap...

Blacktric5632d ago

L4D series are the true definition of crap. Games made for easy cash. First game didn't have enough weapons, second game added a little bit more and it still has tons of bugs and broken hitboxes for survivors. Only upside is, in most Steam sales, games' price drops below 10 bucks.

Snatcher5631d ago

L4D series is not crap. I have clocked in about 300 hours in L4D2. I have almost all Valve games... TF2, Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Episode 1 % 2, Portal, Alien Swarm, CounterStrike 1,6, Counterstrike Condition Zero, Counter Strike Source.

I consider the L4D series to be one of their best. I will gladly buy L4D3, if it comes out...

evrfighter5631d ago

you really think Valve is going to release a HL title at the end of this current gen.

No

When Valve releases a HL game it's next-gen, it sets the bar for next-gen and it's never surpassed in the next-gen.

Big_Dom5631d ago

How anyone can say L4D is the definition of crap is beyond me. It's nothing but pure and simple fun gameplay. It's not trying to impress with over the top graphics or set pieces, it just does the basics right, which is a lot more than I can say for a lot of FPS's these days that are saturating the industry. It reminds me of how games were and should be.

Obviously Ep3 isn't ready yet, is it? They've had a team working on Episode 3 since at LEAST 2007, probably 2006.

The DOTA2 team is small, probably only about 20-40 people, the TF2 team is ~15, they're in crunch time on Portal 2 right now, so they've probably got 100 or so people working on that, that still leaves ~100 people to work on the next Half-Life game.

rlm415632d ago

I love and got hooked on Riot's version, League of Legends.. You should give it a try if you haven't, it's free to download and play ;)

narked5632d ago

seems like valve is making every game they can think of except hl :(
