Very cool very cool - you are one of the few to pick up on our combat/movement sandbox elements and physics-based interactions. Some wild stuff happens when it all adds up :)
Very interesting project and looking forward to it, I hope when the game released this game can be played in ALL platform (PC, Console and if necessary on mobile) so that everyone can play this game even to the people who cannot afford PC.
@@nickolausalston6915 Well... in the video the release they did say, pre-pre-pre-pre-alpha, so i am not deluding myself that there isn't many kinks to iron out still. But if that is that many pre alpha... when it hits beta it will be something.
@@rexe30k Because League, is a really good, well crafted game. HOWEVER; the League community ruins it, the endless toxicity is just cringe and makes over 70% of games a flame war, where nobody is enjoying it. Power-creep is also ruining it slowly but they are "trying" to fix that by making everyone one shot so who knows. But if you just look at it stylistically and ignore balancing and just play to have fun, it is a really good game.
@@rexe30k good game or not doesnt matter anymore , people nowadays only jump on league or dota for moba game , mobile MOBA games only for degenerated kids in south east asia and poor countries like mine . Moba genre is dead , league and dota are becoming their own genre in gaming
It's really fun to see that Necrit is discovering that Videogames exist and are a thing because LoL had a content drought on lore. Riot pierced his bubble on a really weird way.
Riot and WoW*. It's kinda ehh to listen when he talks about Riot's MMO, cause it's like WoW is the only MMO to exist ever and other games in the genre don't do things differently. Wowie, not having alliance and horde in MMORPG? What is that, never heard of it!
@@animagkrasver9872 Yeah, he gives some lines like that sometimes. He also did that when talking about Genshin: "It had some of the best narrative moments I've ever seen!" --> Just another regular JRPG story that doesn't do much in particular.
I think it would be really fun if you made a video regarding many of the competing battle arenas in beta on the market right now. For examples, in addition to Project Loki, there are also two other great mobalites called Fangs and Bapbap
Reminder that FANGs has LoL & Valorant devs working behind it...Steve Feak AKA Guinsoo AKA the reason Guinsoo's Rageblade is named Wonder why Necrit didn't mention these guys
@@jomorazero ive played multiple games with the similar artstyle and hype only for it to die within 2 weeks, some also said the same thing as me, but im probably just overreacting
@@name1674 well me and my friends stayed up till 6 am so we could paly the playtests. its DEFINITELY fun, if ur sick of leagues direction this is incredibly nice and fresh.
Josh Smith, the art director, made some of my favorite splashes from the good old days, and he is bringing alot of his personal style to the game, love seeing that.
Another rather big name on theorycraft at least for me as a lor player is andrew yip who was game director for LoR when it released. Their dev team looks really stacked so im kinda excited to see how loki turns out. Hopefully they are gonna do some playtests on eu aswell soon. I would love to try it out!
Skyen also has some…interesting info regarding rioters leaving due to management placing everything (lore, progression, you name it) under the entertainment department following arcane’s success…
What I think is great, from the background gameplay, is that it looks very casual yet competitive at the same time. There is a lot of skill expression avaliable, but you do not need thousands of hours to win or preform.
Well Battlerite was not the First Multiplayer Arena Game. There was a Game called Bloodline Champions that was out over 10 years ago. Just wann make things clear here. But besides that good video!
Looks like a interesting game, can’t wait to try playing it! Game aside though, the map looks amazing and all the art is beautiful. Can’t quite put my finger on it but there’s just something about it
I so fucking want the battle arena genre to be "the next viral game genre". Battlerite was easily one of my favorite games of all time, and i've been just waiting for years for some studio to give us a battle arena game that sticks and develops a playerbase bigger than a few hundred people
@@hollowcloplover9539I miss Battlerite so so much but the Royale can stay dead. It was the reason why Battlerite completely died in the first place and no matter how good it is I still can't bring myself to like it.
I had the opportunity to playtest this game last month! Super fun, mechanics were super smooth. Little to no bugs in my experience, got quite a few hours in. Communication with developers was great, and the game, for being in pre-alpha, was already very fleshed out. Looking foward to playing more soon, definitely sign up for the playtest!
Definitely hyped for this, seems like they bring a lot of new ideas. Been trying out the 1.0 of Eternal return recently, I think they did the battle royale moba style in a very clever way, you should check it out.
I had not heard about this game, but it looks very interesting and is definitely something I will check out as I love MOBAs. If you haven't already, you should take a look at Eternal Return, its a MOBA Battle Royal that has been in Early access for a while now, but had its full release late last month. It's a lot of fun and def deserves more attention.
i really got hit with the "how is it a moba it uses wasd?" and was like.... "but league does that" because i completely forgot i remapped my keys day 1 and have almost never thought about qwer since (the soul fighter event confused the hell out of me for longer than i care to admit before i realized i was pressing the wrong buttons)
Looks completely awesome, would try it out for sure! The only thing I'm kinda worried about is the wasd movement. I have already left a game that I actually really liked but the controls just made it unenjoyable for me at least. Same thing was with Battlerite which I also played, but that wasn't the controls being uncomfortable rather than overly complicated and too much buttons to press. Btw if you liked project loki than I really recommend the game I referred to before, it's called smash legends.
I was able to play in the playtest last week! Very cool game, but I like playing team co-op games with my friends so I will wait for its official release :) I loved the character uniqueness
There are also some really really cool ultimate combos! I had a game where me and my team were hiding to sneak attack the last team left, and then we got full combo'd into instant death we all laughed it off and thought it was crazy! Really really excited for people to see the game
thank you necrit with this info i can't wait to give project loki a try when they eventually became playable so far it looks promising and actually fun
You should look into Battlerite Royale. It was a separate game released as Battlerite with a huge map. It had the looting, the world hazards etc with all of the classic battle royale mechanics. It even had the cone of vision you mentioned.
Just to clarify bloodline champions was the first game with arena mode, then battlerite came with revamped style and other ideas both games from stunlock studio
This game is unironically really fun, I had the pleasure of playing the beta's and its just a complete blast, I really couldn't get behind the actual "BR" type mode, but actually just fighting is amazing and the WASD control scheme allows it to be super user friendly to some of my friends that are not totally used to a MOBA control scheme. I'd really love to see it popoff as the team definitely deserves it.
Personally, WASD control scheme is what is throwing me off. RTS player issues. not used to my fingers being so close together for a long period of time.
It actually means a lot since now we know that the game is under good care and talent. Also dare I say, new/small companies tend to release better, or more fun should I say, games as they are not ALL about money. For example, battle bit remastered, Rust, PoE, and most recently Baulders Gate 3, made by companies that are not as known as Blizzard, Riot, Ubisoft, etc. Hope the game turns out to be fun and smooth :)
that character with a hammer and projected shield that can either hold it up or swing it around and seems to have an ability that slams it into the ground kind of seems like Reinhardt from overwatch ngl
I've always preferred "Hero Arenas" to "Aeon of Strife" maps.. So I'm glad we're getting MOBAs like this or League's Arena mode. I just wish there was more 1v1 action; I hate teams.
Necrit, if you could link to a way to move in league using WASD that would be awesome. The thumbnail of the video you showed didn't really show how you can use WASD controls. Rather, it showed how you could use your mouse to override the need ot WASD.
very common in IT world and I guess gaming for people to jump to up and comming companies. In riot these people are likely set in their position, but in a new company, they likely have a higher position with the ability to climb. Can't blame the ex-rioters to move on. Great stuff all around.
I’m so glad you found out about Project Loki! It’s such a fun game and I have a blast every time I get a chance to play. I’m one of the original playtesters (for over 2+ years now) and have seen the game evolve so much over the years. It’s genuinely an amazing game and I hope to see you out on the battlefield at some point Necrit, and be prepared to get addicted like the rest of us!
The game is super fun! The games feel fast and no time is wasted, you're always doing something and everyone is working togother and pretty chill. They have 2 game modes so you can play a battleground which is pretty much, battlerite, and battle rite mode which is the battle royals we all love and enjoy. This game IS GOING TO BE HUGE! SIGN UP WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
I love playing mobas and wish there was a true lol competent so that Riot would actually be presured to make actual improvements instead of just skins and esports
I forgot that the term MOBA is multiplayer online battle arena the game doesn't need lanes, nor it doesn't need a building objective you need to destroy to win. if you have 2 teams that are fighting against each other on an arena/map then that's considered MOBA probably looks like a top down battle royale style game that looked simpler. probably looked like fortnite without building or item looting or eternal return without item looting and with immersive interactive map
Genuinely don't know if this is an extremely bold move of incredibly brave seeing how battlerite turned out to be at the end of the day, doesn't seem to be that much different from the gameplay too so far including art and gameplay, hmm we'll see.
Looks like a cool game. If I hypothetically got into a playtest a while back I would be telling you that it was fun and I was excited to see how much progress has been made. But I’m not saying that.
That "Fog of War" effect is a good idea, but it's also resource heavy. I know the internet and the computers we play on are 20 more advanced, but it was what ruined "Shadowbane".
