I really enjoy B4B played all 3 games,l4d2 is just old like me,WWZ is to boring,B4B feels more hardcore there are allot of nice build you can do but your newer safe.
I want a game about Dr. Keller, in which we slowly roll in the wheelchair, taking trains and stuff avoiding enemies using guards on a big map, figuring what to do before the facility gets nuked by the black ops
I have a deep love for cyberpunk (shoutout to the Dystopia multiplayer mod for Half-Life 2), but I prefer the grittier, high-technology-low-life style; what you might call "classical" cyberpunk. The neon blue-and-purple of modern cyberpunk doesn't do much for me. I think Deadlock's current style is MUCH more original, and offers plenty of interesting directions to take for the characters and setting.
People kept calling it a beta, no it is not a beta, its in alpha as in alphabetical order, A -> B. and A stand for alpha which is where deadlock's at. A closed alpha. Beta is when a game 3 week away from release to gauge interest which is what concord did.
@@ufuk5872 Yes an alpha is an early develipment build, nothing wrong with it BUT Deadlock is NOT in early development. Btw. you should visit r/confidentlyincorrect
they combined Dota and TF2 artstyle and added many of the good stuff they have learned from years of game development and now they are cooking with something that looks really good
Half-Life related: Have you seen the new ultra realistic AI footage of Half-Life? There's a RU-vidr called Soundtrick who uploaded a video very recently. This AI kinda showcased the graphics 20-30 years from now what it will look like.
I think they gotta have character and gun skins. Because guns in Deadlock is separated from the character and each gun has a unique title. I don't think they gonna have custom map skin like Dota 2 since Deadlock would have multiple maps just like other hero shooter games.
as a gigantic fan of the neon cyberpunk setting, the grungy occult noir-tinged New York is absolutely the superior design, both because the low-satuation environment makes it much easier to read each character's abilities in the chaotic teamfights, and because it makes it massively stand out from Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Apex, and Valorant, all of which have a very sci-fi futurepunk design to them, and it also sidesteps the classic medieval/cartoon fantasy in League of Legends, DOTA, Smite, and Paladins. Even compared to things like Medal of Honor and the older COD games set in the 20th century, the spooky occult eldritch horror angle really gives it a flavor that nothing else has, helping it really stick in people's minds.
The redesign is incredibly genius, and whoever at Valve suggested it deserves a massive raise. Valve was in a precarious position. Being a MOBA hero shooter, it found itself in a seemingly impossible position to choose a unique setting. If they stuck with the futuristic Japan style, it would just be mixed into the hero shooter genre that all are set in a futuristic setting. However, go too far in the other direction of full fantasy, and you then get compared to the other third-person MOBAs. Picking 1920s-1930s New York with occultism was an amazing choice. It found a period niche that is rarely explored, allows the game to differentiate itself from both the futuristic and fantasy elements that have been taken by all other MOBAs and hero shooters, and allows for a very distinct identity. The heroes they are designing for it is already full of style and exudes personality. Everything from a physics professor evoking the strong Golden Age of theoretic physics of the 20s, to a Prohibition-era bartender of the 30s, to the OSS shadow figure that is a precursor to the CIA of the 40s, and to the greaser subculture of the 50s. It all has a nostalgic but not too nostalgic vibe that most games can't seem to evoke with how they like to use their fantasy or futuristic settings as a blank slate to do as they please.
I see most of the comments is about how Deadlock is just another online multiplayer hero shooter, but really, the magic is in the execution. If we look at TF2, it's also just another class-based hero FPS, much like a lot of modern FPS nowadays. However, Valve is incredibly skilled in the execution of their gameplay mechanics, which lends a simple concept such as "Third Person Hero Shooter MOBA" much more depth than at a simple glance. The various ways builds can be exploited and countered adds a lot of flavors into the gameplay, and the game does require much more strategic thinking than just aiming and shooting. I've had 60 hours in Deadlock, and can stand for the charm of its gameplay, as well as the characters and the incredibly well-executed gameplay loop. Is Deadlock another Third Person Online Hero Shooter with MOBA mechanics? Yes, yes it is. But Valve has made strides to elevate that simple concept into something special, giving the players not a limited set of tools at their disposal, like shooting, skills, and ultimate, but also the ability to harness the game engine's unique movement and physic system, as well as how different ability and upgrades work together, to bring something truly special to the table.
I think MOBA shooters gonna be the next new big thing Like how Battle Royales and Hero Shooters were Can't wait for RIOT to make their own Deadlock clone
@RavenKStudios Says tte one who is calling an alpha that is feature-incomplete, full of place holders, and where everything can change a beta Anyways, I accept your concession
@@nanodragon907 Greetings mainwriter of the Script of this video. I can assure you that RavenK is right and Deadlock is in beta. It's already feature complete, there are barely any placeholders and the few that can be easily replaced, something skilled developers can do in days or even hours. Please watch alpha footage from games and you will see how games actually look in that stage. Deadlock had ant lions from HL as minions, weapons from CS and so on in his alpha stage. So please stop spewing false information and before you even begin to question my knowledge, I am actually a game designer, I've worked on several projects and I am working currently on one. Have a good day.
More of a single-player guy, so Id buy a crpg set in Dota and Deadlock's worlds, esp with Valve's writing and worldbuilding. But glad they changed world-design, Deadlock is giving off Arcanum but 1920/30s vibes.
i spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to comment about deadlock but in the end i just want to give it a shot, seems fun even as a beta i will say im not really into that neon futuristic theme, i like the more normal citys, it feels way more familiar and it honestly stands out more that way since every other game like this is always futuristic with bright neon colors and metallic buildings. so hats off to valve for entirely reworking the theme of the game to something way more unique in this genre of moba games
The artstyle change was a great decision. I think the market is saturated with sci-fi settings for shooters already (mainly Overwatch, but we also have R6: Siege, which, to me, feels more like a sci-fi game in it's current state) and the switch to a pure fantasy style would also mean throwing the game into a saturated market (plus having to compete with Valve's own product), since there are tons of fantasy-themed hero shooters and MOBAs already as well. This early 20th century-like artstyle with a small mix of occult themes is certainly a breath of fresh air. It's a good blend of cartoonish-ness and realism, reminding me of cover art and loading screens from the Grand Theft Auto franchise, and kind of looks more like what Valve initially wanted TF2 to be like (or at least how it looked like in the first trailer of the game). I think that this sort of change of artstyle is not only a strategic move on Valve's part, but also an artistic statement of sorts - because the Hero Shooter genre is most associated with Overwatch, a sci-fi game, and most known MOBAs are associated with fantasy (and those are most commonly set in a medieval-ish setting), it would make absolutely perfect sense that Deadlock, which is sitting somewhere in between those two genres, is set in the early 20th Century as a "middle ground" between the medieval age and the modern times/the future.
