Brace for another 50 disgusting comments of pathetic self-entitled fuckheads whining about a game?s graphics not living up to their extremely specific standards.
If any of you actually thought that valve would allow one of their games to have the art style of HoN you?re nuts. These are the same cats who brought you the art style of TF2 which was cartoony on purpose because it made things easier to see. And judging by the screenshots this isn?t even half as cartoony as TF2 or LoL.
HoN?s art style just doesn?t work for a competitive game, period, especially one where you might want someone unfamiliar with the game to spectate it. Besides, as with other valve games you can probably change the models, skins and UI around as much as you like (probably not map textures but we?ll see).
I?m extremely dissappointed by these screenshots. Valve sucks. DotA 2 will suck. These screenshots really tell the whole story. These are the highest graphics settings DotA 2 supports and also this is the game in the finished state. What a fucking let down. I?ve already packed my bags and am waiting for the DotA 3 express.
This game is going to be successful. It?s valve, it?s dota, unless something catastrophic happens the game is going to sell a ton of copies and have an active community that will either go toe-to-toe with LoL if they go f2p or be a comfortable and commanding #2 if they don?t.
There aren?t enough of you kids who prefer HoN?s Linkin Park aesthetic to keep that game alive. Most will switch when open beta hits, those who don?t switch immediately will do so in a couple of months when they get tired of playing against the same 50 other people.
Really don?t understand the negative comments. It looks like next-gen WC3. The environments are beautifully designed. And it really doesn?t look like LoL at all.
Surprisingly, War3 and LoL look the most similar. HoN looks like it went ?fuck aesthetics and art direction, let?s just cram as much detail as we can and say we have better graphics? like you would expect out of a amateur mod team. DotA2, although it looks the most like War3/LoL, definitely took some sort of happy median between the two?an easy to see color palette but more subdued, more detail but it?s stylized and not just realistic.
Like someone else mentioned above the cell-shaded look is actually GOOD in the sense that it makes it really easy to distinguish between different heroes/units a la TF2.
This will make it easier for new players and converting HoN/LoL players to learn the game. Remember when everyone first switched to HoN one of the biggest complaints was how everything was too shiny and people had trouble differentiating between heroes?
Ok, this is probably not stop so quickly now. Some argue loudly Dota.cn (we are very sorry for something lost in translation) are the screenshots btw. so old to 4 months, and the current game, including the HUD to be heavily revised to give, so not too much at the screenshots (even my seemingly different , though there was no Photoshop in the game ?). But as I said, I stress once again explicitly: some argue that, no more, no less. Forums Talk, Rumors, Gossip just the usual. Is that how far we know the latest in 3 days, that is: Calm down. There are only a few screenshots.
No, but seriously, the look of the game has nothing to do if it?s going to be good or not. I think the map looks very nice and the heroes being obvious against it is a very good thing.
Just as an aside, ?League of Bads?? Is that really the best nickname hon players could come up with? Guess it?s better than playing Homoes of Newb erth?. But seriously, this doesn?t look like LoL. It also doesn?t look like total shit as hon does. Maybe I won?t have to forsake ever playing Pudge on this game because he won?t look like a donkey?s scrotum with a case of vagina dentata, shouting ?YOO MINE? and ?Yummy?. Seriously, if hon had any less style it would be a high school math teacher.
I hope you guys don?t think any of your incoherent babble is accomplishing anything. I?m a dota player, not a lol or hon player. I just find it absurd that hon players trash talk lol when hon is just as bad. Yeah, lol?s free blink and lack of denying among other things are different than dota, but the game actually has a bit of style. All hon has going for it is what it takes from dota, which for a lot of dota players puts it above lol, which is fine.
Why is everyone ignore how ANIMUUUUU DESU DESU this shit looks. I?m talking about the graphics. I?m talking about how the art style is fucking anime.
kid, it appears to me that u dont even go to the bank. u dont have any money since ur parents still gets ur childsupport. stay in hon pls.
Looks like fucking Mini Ninjas. No worries though, plenty of Lollers will jump on board and let me boost my rating to engorge my e-peen.
DotA2 looks more like TF2 than HoN does, but? What is so wrong with TF2?s graphical scheme? LoL has like Playstation 1 graphics, HoN looks like a LSD oil painting and DotA2 looks like watercolor.
These screenshots of DOTA 2 are approximately four (4) months old, and I feel that they do not currently represent the final product of the game that we intend to release. We currently do not condone our beta testers releasing confidential material on the internet, and these offenses will be punished as such.
Regardless, I feel that we have a highly competitive and entertaining game on its way to you, the players. Our DOTA 2 tournament, beginning and airing across the world on August 17, 2011, will inspire and captivate its audiences with a forthcoming game for the ages.
Definetily looks more like LoL than HoN, never really had problems with LoL?s graphics so that really doesn?t matter to me, as long as the gameplay actually feels ?right?.
Art style and graphics both absolutely terrible?Valve really, really fucked it up. I never thought I?d say this, but I might keep playing HoN?graphics is the only thing S2 did right.
For those saying the screens are 4 months old, news for you, they havent changed. Generally speaking the character models once they are implemented into the engine are the final product since so much goes into them. You more than likely will see changes to the UI and perhaps some more details in the environments, but generally speaking thats what DotA2 will look like.
If Im not mistaken Kebap said currently HoN is the better game on Swindles stream the other day. Ofc things can change, but a friend of mine who is in the DotA2 beta said the same thing, he said it just doesnt feel like dota and he thinks that alot of people are going to be disappointed, which has been par for the course with valve remakes, cs:s dod:s etc.
The main thing I?m kinda dissapointed about from these screenshots are the balance changes that S2 did get right & are apparantly completely ignored by Valve (kongor is completley in hb territory again, prolly 00 rune once again, etc?).
Who gives a fuck? its not like you can?t ward Roshan(Or use smoke of deceit to get in). 0:00 rune was fun. It kept people from 5 man ganking at mid in pubs, and there were little skirmishes early on in the game. S2 got it all wrong balancing the game strictly for competitive players(even though they have so many newb-friendly items), and not for public play which is the majority of players.
Original pic was from dota2.cn but I couldn?t find the link. The picture is all the way at the bottom, shows a good number of the small hero portraits of both the radiance (sentinel) and dire (scourge)
HEY, HEY GUYS, IT?S NOT GRIMDERP, OVERLY DETAILS AND DARK AS FUCK, AND HEY THE HEROES STAND OUT FROM THE MAP, IT?S FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOOOL 2. DOESN?T LOOK LIKE MY DERPTASTIC HOOOOOOOOOOOOON SO IT?S GOTTA BE SHIT.
