This is extremely frustrating, knowing how many extremely talented developers, writers, designers, and programmers they leeched from other game studios.

Fuck this esports moba craze right now. Ugh.

it's a fucking waste

 

[Zafir]

I was more excited when people speculated it was a melee focused hero "shooter".

 

[Master Thespian]

Yeah I'm done watching this. This is probably the first video game I can honestly say looks like it was truly designed by committee.

Yeah, that's what I got from it too.

Sports game? Fighting game? Hero shooter? MOBA?

"Fuck it, let's do all of them. At the same time."

It was total chaos.

The goals were kinda cool but everything else is

Yeah I was interested in seeing if they were going with something like Anarchy Reigns, but...

 

[Weston]

It being an arcadey sports game is kind of cool. Passing, shooting, and sliding all looked fun. I'm not sure how well the moba elements fit into it though.

 

[TheGameshark]

Man that was disappointing

 

[Abilidebob]

it's a multiplayer game. You should have seen the amount of pushback from even good games like Overwatch.

Welp.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Don't know what you guys were watching but that looked pretty good

Remove the buildables, implement an optional powerup system instead, and it'd probably be more interesting.

 

[C-Drive]

Probably so the ball isn't constantly falling off of the stage and annoying to chase around.

At least make it bounce in place.

 

[JayBabay]

Damn, not that much hype for this game at all. Thread not getting slammed at all.

There were only 7,000 people watching

 

[Zyrox]

So why did they invite all the fgc people to show this off? This looks like Moba x sports.

I checked it out but didn't notice the view count since I was on mobile. Looked like Rocket League meets Moba style gameplay.

Yea I'm pretty baffled by that.

 

[Clint Beastwood]

They had to get some notable people but real esports players are too busy making money from real esports to waste their time on this.

 

[HellBlazer]

Was the players intro longer than the actual game?

 

[Zafir]

So why did they invite all the fgc people to show this off? This looks like Moba x sports.

Yeah I don't get it either.

It looks nothing close.

I mean I guess they're cheaper to get a hold of since the scene is smaller, that's about all I can come up with lol.

 

[Helznicht]

ehh, I will give it a shot.

Spoiler

if its FTP

they need an audience. dota fans and league players wont waste their time with this.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Same thing you saw and it looked terrible to me. Different strokes though.

 

[Darryl M R]

Does anyone have a link to the New World trailer. Also checking Amazon the price is 0. I wonder if it is free-to-play with microtransaction (that would suck).

 

[Jira]

I'm not entirely sure why they thought it was a good idea to invite people who play primarily fighting games and some FPS to a MOBA style game?

Wizard Wars was a MOBA that felt like a fighting game. Just depends on the design.

 

[Watcher]

They know moba fans are already dedicated to the moba of their choice. They're trying to poach gamers from other communites. Thats my thought anyway

 

[Sinatar]

According to UltraDavid there are a bunch of FGC people on the dev team, guess they just called their friends.

 

[CommandThrower]

I don't know what this game is based on the website's description. It also doesn't help that there's no trailer.

The website calls it a "sport brawler". It seems you also build stuff on the battlefield? Will this game be kind of like Starhawk, where it's a third person shooter/RTS?


I'll uh...keep my eyes on this. It has me curious.

 

[Zafir]

Guess that makes sense then.

IDK.... The concept is interesting, but the artstyle isn't good, the graphics is poor, and the animation feels stiff too.

Yeah buildables look like they need toned down. The power ups were just kind of boring. I guess they give a reason to control the center, but "kill this and get health/damage the rest of round" doesn't seem like it adds a ton of strategy. I don't like the idea of equipping items either. I'd rather not have to worry about who's ahead in farm or what items people are building in a game like this.

It'll pretty much come to how interesting the character kits are for me. If you're considering combos, counters, and positioning while worrying about moving the ball then it could be good game, but the match they showed didn't look terribly exciting.

Crucible and New World both looked promising. Seems like they have a ways to go, but I liked what they showed.

Still don't really get the theme. Is it medieval? Fantasy? Something like TSW?

Also quite dissapointed with the Breakaway reveal, was expecting something akin to a fighter, not this thing.

Hmmm. I don't know, that video didn't do much for me. Again, though...the concept of this game is interesting. It's definitely unlike any game I've seen in quite a while. The closest thing it reminds me of is Starhawk, but that game is very different from this.
