Humodour Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 http://www.destructoid.com/valve-hires-dot...er-151016.phtml It reminds me of the story with Valve hiring the Portal devs. I think we can expect a Valve DotA clone soon, with a unique Valve spin. In the mean-time, IceFrog will continue to update DotA.
mkreku Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I think we can expect a Valve DotA clone soon... Yeah.. in 2015. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Humodour Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 I think we can expect a Valve DotA clone soon... Yeah.. in 2015. Sure, maybe it'll be like when Valve hired the Team Fortress devs... or maybe it'll be like when Valve hired the Narbacular Drop devs and produced Portal 2 years later.
Masterfade Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Valve comes rather late to the party though. League of Legends will be out this month. Then there's StarCraft II next year, Blizz will no doubt try hard to migrate the DotA player base to SC2. I won't be surprised if SC2 comes with an official DotA-like map.

I'm sure they'll create some crazy First Person DotA with Portals or something. They're not just going to release a DotA clone, that market is surprisingly saturated at the moment.

And HoN, which I've already pre-ordered and am currently playing - it's great. But I don't think it matters. Valve will do what they always do, and I don't think being late to the party is going to stop them.
Calax Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 All I wanna say is that I hate DoTA. It's taken over Warcraft 3's multiplayer. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I remember when mappers could actually host their maps and get them known. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Morgoth Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 What is DoTA? Defense of the Ancients Uh huh. So and what's the big fuss about it then? Why should we get excited? Rain makes everything better.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 No reason to get excited at all. It's just Valve hiring some popular mapper (who doesn't actually make the contents of his map, BTW). "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

Purkake Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 They hired a psychologist last year to help them make the Steam sales better. They do all kinds of crazy stuff. Maybe a DotA-like mode for L4D2?
Morgoth Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Who knows. Valve has all kinds of experimental stuff in development. Rain makes everything better.
Oner Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 They hired a psychologist last year to help them make the Steam sales better. They do all kinds of crazy stuff. Maybe a DotA-like mode for L4D2? And H-L 2 Ep 3 is delayed because they felt the urge to implement hand signals for the deaf (they can't read color coded subtitles it seems) with some lame in story explanation that Alyx had a deaf boyfriend bla bla and she taught Dog how to etc etc and now they start using it for some reason.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Pretty sure HL2 Ep3 is just taking long to make because their Hammer editor is ****. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Purkake Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 What is DoTA? Posted that a whole page ago. You're getting slow, old man.
Morgoth Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/...ge-To-Episode-3 I think we have to see the bigger picture. In order to pull that off, Valve also needs to completely overhaul their facial animation and gesture system. I expect something really outstanding in that regard. Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I doubt that's the sole reason they haven't finished it yet. (it's not delayed, because they haven't ever set a release date for EP3)
Big Bottom Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Interesting. This thread is incomplete without the I so wish I could unsee that. The best flash game ever!
