They had me at tower defense mechanics.
Valve’s
Oh?
hero shooter
Oh…
I’m assuming you didn’t enjoy Team Fortress 2 then?
Eh Marvel’s Hero Shooter looks pretty good…
Though why people are making Hero Shooters NOW when Overwatch 2 has outright murdered public interest in the genre, I have no idea.
I’m starting to dislike the word “leaks” being used in place of “advertised” almost as much as I despise seeing the word “slams” in headlines
It’s how copros talk now, they saw “Leaks” are spicier than “Reveals”
It’s just what they do, they co-opt our langauge and misuse it. Plenty of restaurants around here claiming their cheap menu items are “Hunger Hacks”
When no they aren’t, as a hack would be a manipulation of loopholes to get a result not intended by the person who made the rules, a cheap item menu clearly listed is not a hack.
Lemmy user slams game developer over use of controlled leaks
Sounds like the Team Fortress 2 team has been busy, but didn’t want to count to 3
Deadlock sounds like the name of a no-budget indie horror game that would release on Steam for a dollar. Not a big budget Apexwatch or Overlegends or…whatever you call this style of game.
They’re actually two different genres, team deathmatch and battle royale. This Deadlock would be the former.
Wikipedia says that Overwatch and Apex Legends are each part of the “Hero Shooter” genre (boy does that sound like an uninteresting genre). I’m guessing there are greater subdivisions of play structure that matches what you’re describing, but it all sounds like an uninteresting blend of character based FPS, like multiplayer Borderlands. I guess that’s where modern gaming is, though, since these really took off after 2016, which is solidly after my “hardcore gaming” days were mostly over.
The only part of this that interests me is how they decide to handle anti-cheat on linux.
Don’t they already have VAC?
