If only Valve already had a wildly popular hero shooter with loveable characters.
I guess the Overwatch market is wide open ever since Overwatch self destructed
The PvP experience itself has actually never been in a better spot imo in terms of content delivery and balance cadence
Oh shit, are we getting Team Fortress 3?
No. See it has the forbidden number in the title
It’s actually a technical problem - Valve is running 1 bit computers that, due to binary origins, can only represent 2 states. They’d love to release hl3, but that would require coming up with the whole new architecture - at least doubling up to 2 bit cpu. Imagine the headache of adapting all the toolchain to build the game!
Valve could trivially circumvent this limitation by using a multi-precision library such as MPFR
See, that’s a common mistake - MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point computations with correct rounding. Valve is, unfortunately, still stuck to integers. Their floating point appears to be functioning correctly as they’ve managed to avoid kernel panic releasing hl2e{1,2} - you can look at that as floats 2.1 and 2.2.
Fine, use the other GNU multi-precision library
Got me there :D
what is a hero shooter and what makes it overwatch-style?
I’d think tf2 would be one.
You’d be correct about tf2.
I would define a hero shooter as having Moba style characters in a Counter Strike style environment.
Would Siege be considered a hero shooter?
Yes
I wonder how my man Gordon is doing…
He passed.
Still bleeding in a warehouse wondering WTF just happened.
Seems derivative.
