omg another game base on dota idea >.<? no pls we got too many now

You know what, I'll be interested to have a look at whatever this is. The main issue I have with all these DoTA games was the extremely limited control. I always felt like there was a lack of strategy involved in them. I know this isn't the point of them. But I never felt the appeal of levelling a single character. Moving around, rinse and repeat.

WHat is interesting is that most of these DoTA games are positioned as a strategy game/RTS in which most in the genre involve controlling a large army(you become an armchair general not a single hero). But in the FPS genre, you are always only controlling a single character anyway(the exceptions are a few tactical games). In an FPS game, I wont have the expectation of having battlefield control like a typical strategy game.

I think this could mean less of the mental block I have for this particular genre.

If that was the case, Valve should've hired the Natural Selection team instead.

I personally think its going to be something pretty radical.

hired ppl who make dota doesnt mean must make a dota game u know.
valve hired CS team long time ago, do we see any CS clone game? no?

accordingly to the trusted unofficial source, icefrog will come out new similar DotA game with multiple races such as legion, human, orc, elf, naga (sea-monster), predetor (alien), terminator (robot). Heros skill and thousand of spell will be newly created with new game engine (Ice-CoreX);

the success of the new game from valve in dota will depend on how creative from Icefrog team to completely compete with other release company. IceFrog riches with their experience and with new game engine help, this will definitely another deep impact to currently dota game like game soon in 2010 summer.

hopefully it will turn to something fun and funny like TF2 and not the same old dota which is pointless IMO we have been playing dota for like how many years? 6? time for something fresh

valve wanna make CS that play like dota?

One thing I do not mind would be a FPS dota sounds like a great idea to me though I hate dota.

But come to think about it TF2 is abit dotaish just that you dont get items and leveling with magic.
