I guess the world just wasn't ready for an advertiser-friendly esports bait. killed by being ahead of its time.

It's literally not even out yet

>>714923579
That's how bad it flopped

>>714923579
literally what games are there that lost popularity pre-launch only to gain it afterwards? all the examples show that people are happy to play good games from alpha onwards.

>esports
holy fuck who cares about that gay shit

>>714923579
for all intents and purposes it is

>>714923514 (OP)
>killed before Frankenstein and the cute vampire could be added
a real shame.
I blame Uncle Dane, and Icefrog.

>>714923876
>killed
but they're still updating the game though

who was this for?

>>714923694
Hades could be an example. People were excited prelaunch, cause of the devs. Then it was announced it would be a timed Epic exclusive for early access, and hype and interest instantly died. After hitting 1.0 and releasing on Steam, became popular.

>>714923514 (OP)
Possibly the ugliest game in existence

>>714924491
>>714925413
You're thinking of every other hero shooters.

>>714925619
>every other hero shooters
>comparing, say, Overwatch to Deadlock in terms of visuals
Bro.

>>714925413
it looks fine, just that 80% of the assets/map hasn't received an art pass yet, on account of it being an alpha

>>714925413
even on alpha i didn't care that much. I prefer a game to be fun more than having good graphics. I thought you guys were the same but everytime these threads appear i see you fags just lie.

>>714927237
All I said it's possibly the ugliest game in existence which is true. Now I'd like to add that the gameplay looks really shit and I really don't know how much they'd have to pay me to play this trash

>>714925710
Overwatch, like every Blizzard game, looks like highly polished candied vomit. It's better for the porn it generates, but we're not talking about porn, we're talking about a video game.

>>714928090
>colors are now "candied vomit"
Opinion immediately discarded. You're officially admonished. In no universe does Overwatch look worse than the literal diarrhea looking Deadlock. Get a fucking grip dude.

>>714923791
Defrine all intents and purpose? no art is done, there's no way to spend money on it, there's a barebones match making and half the unfinished hero's in a invite only alpha

>>714928924
Tons of people played it and dropped it already. That's enough for it to fail.
This isn't like fortnite early access, this is more like Witchfire early access. People are already done with it. It's dead.

can't stop winning

What the fuck was his problem

nice cope

>>714933461
at some point it's not so fun and innocent that the owner of the biggest game store has a raging hard-on for making as many online casinoes masked as video games as possible

>>714933564
they literally got an enormous banwave last year and i haven't seen a single one in casual since
stop being retarded

Why the fuck would anyone want a new MOBA?

>>714924491
>Stealth
Valve was on their website for years, making Concord at Home: We Remembered to Pay the Shills Edition wasn't really a surprise to me.

Shame its so ugly, every other hero shooter is some 80 iq snoozefest in comparison. If someone could steal the hero gameplay and put it in something that isn't a 6v6 esports creep farming pit of hell it would probably be pretty fun.

>>714926285
What about this is DEI exactly?

>>714935690
honestly probably
the heroes and movement were great but then they shoved it into a fucking farming moba for some godforsaken reason

why does every goddamn game get its own schizoid thats pathetically out of touch with reality
>game exists

>>714925710
>comparing, say, Overwatch to Deadlock in terms of visuals
As a former OW T500 that has played Deadlock... Overwatch is HOTS and Deadlock is DOTA2. Overwatch only requires you to play the objective and had good positioning and le 'game sense'. Deadlocks demands mechanical skill and pace and economy control on top of what OW demands.

tl;dr
Overwatch is a baby game compared with Deadlock. Deadlock is Gran Turismo and Overwatch is Mario Kart.

>>714938602
That has nothing to do with Deadlock's graphics.
But that poster is also ignoring the huge amount of placeholders in the game.

>>714923514 (OP)
valve can't make good games anymore

So when is there going to be an official trailer for the game? I thought there would be one at Summer Gamesfest and an open beta in July. I was wrong. Will there be a trailer at The Game Awards? A release next year?

>>714939136
HL: Alyx is great.

>>714923514 (OP)
>ahead of it's time
I know you're shitting on it, but this is premium bait
That game was late to the party by at least 7 years.
Supposing it released before overwatch, it might have actually been a trend setter, but I think it just wouldn't have had the staying power, seeing as the characters in Deadlock are neither funny and videomaker material like those of TF2, nor attractive enough for all the degens

That said, I wouldn't call the game dead when it's not even released, but looking at how bad the hype for it died down, I wouldn't hold my breath expecting it to be a success either.

It'll probably have a niche sweatlord audience for about a year, maybe even hold a tournament or two, but I am not expecting most casuals to enjoy it, since mobas and competitive shooters these days are just not fun anymore, they're all about "climbing", "ELO" and trying hard, which simply isn't an option for most people who aren't unemployed or below 25

>>714933413
Nice try, Tyler.

>>714939301
Probably on some random day like CS2 was. I do wonder if they'll make a 'Meet the Team' promotion equivalent for this.

>>714923694
Csgo

>>714939898
What, they're just gonna upload a trailer outta the damn blue? Possibly this year considering how the game looks really polished now?

>>714940450
With the way Valve works, yeah. They announced Counter-Strike 2 straight up with feature trailers instead of typical teaser or announcement videos introducing the game. They don't give a fuck.

Though while it kinda makes sense in CS2, Deadlock is a new IP with fewer players so they need to go bigger on this to attract people I'd reckon.

>>714928924
>there's no way to spend money on it, there's a barebones match making and half the unfinished hero's in a invite only alpha
It's made by valve. Aside from the money thing, that's the whole game.
