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.

Valve famously only works on what excites them. You’re yelling me THIS is that?? How utterly defeatingly disappointing.

Valve’s game development division feels more like a weird cult than a proper game company. I don’t think they get “excited” for the things that most people get excited for. (Remember when they were excited for a virtual card game where you have to pay for every card?) The Valve of the 2000s is long gone IMO

While I’ll likely still play this I have to agree.

Is it really surprising? It’s not like it’s their first competitive shooter.

Typically valve only puts out games that showcase something new, so might be interesting

They were both originally mods that they adopted rather than original creations though, right?

I think, also if I recall both games were genre defining

Like idk, when overwatch came out, it was an absolute blast. I wasn’t looking forward to it at all, i didn’t care for it a bit until i played it. It just got run into the ground slowly. Also they made team fortress 2 way WAY before, and yeah that’s what they excites them.

Bold statement. Might wanna hold judgment till you actually see some gameplay.

It goes both ways then, people who are happy should shut up until they see some gameplay.
