DOTA2 - Where's My Popcorn for Beta?

What is DotA2?
DotA2 is a remake of DotA, rather than a straight sequel. It is being developed by Valve, with IceFrog being the lead, and it is built on Valve's Source Engine. Aside from graphical designs, core gameplay remains the same as the original, with several enhancement due to removed limitation of Warcraft III engine.

QUOTE(Rock Paper Shotgun)

Valve have announced their new game. As expected, it’s to do with Defence Of The Ancients. But it’s not a remake – it’s a sequel. It’s Dota 2. (Except it’s a remake really.) The details are over on Game Informer, which is inevitably struggling with traffic at the moment. More details below.

The game is the work of Dota coder IceFrog, made from within the grey walls of Valve HQ. He worked on the more popular version of the original 5 vs 5 Warcraft III mod, DotA: Allstars, and was hired by Valve in 2009.

Game Informer reports that the core game remains almost untouched. So rather than a radical redesign, the changes here are more for the game’s tech. In fact, everything, from the maps, the heroes, items, skills and upgrade paths all remain identical. It’s a remake, really.

What is known so far:

QUOTE

* Uses a newer version of Source Engine:
+ new lighting (Newer than Alien Swarm/Portal?)
+ True-Cloth Simulation (Nice, flags will look pretty now, or... you know... skirts)
* Planned to use TF2 style update. (Free updates, Free updates, Free updates, Free updates, Mann. Co Store )
* Built in AI for training or SP mode: (Aww, must be for those poor hostel students who got blocked from online gaming )
+ Bots take over players who left the match.
+ Bots are available in unranked match.
* No Single Player campaign. (Go play Demigod and then you know why its bad to have campaign in this kind of game)
* DotA-Allstars' roster of 100+ heroes is being brought over in its entirety. (Pick your poison )
* Similar gameplay, with several skills work better due to engine capability.
* In-game VoIP.
* Somewhat cartoony visuals.
* Custom voice work.
* Coaching system (Another reason to yell at your friend for not using ulti)
* DOTATV

Non-DotA2 updates
* Steamworks update for community rewards

The Haunted Gameplay
-The Haunted plays similar to Killing Floor, and played in Third Person/Over The Shoulder instead of First Person.
-The shooting mechanics is like Resident Evil, which requires you to aim before shooting (BUT IT HAS STRAFING)
-The Haunted waves is endless, and when the weather goes bad, a horde is coming.
-The weapons in The Haunted is upgradeable, and upgrade power ups spawns when your upgrade meter is full.
-The only way to heal is to shoot a Health Crystal, which spawns in random location when your HP is low

Hey it seems like a new Hellgate is in the works.

Quote from Kotaku:

QUOTE

Proving you can't keep an ill-conceived MMO down, the Hellgate series is back. And it's moved on from London. And the English language. And now finds itself in Japan. Speaking Korean.

March 2010? Best of luck to you, Hellgate.

Interesting; I noticed on ggmania that the PC Gamer magazine's website has officially revealed the cover story for their April 2008 print magazine, which happens to be ... Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, the upcoming and latest game in the alternate history version of the long running sci-fi RTS game franchise.

other then that there really is no other info on the game revealed. Teh magazine should be mailed out to subscribers soon and will be on newsstands on March 4.

On February 14th, PCGuru Magazine's latest edition will be coming out with a 10-page spread for Red Alert3. That info is coming from several sources now. One of those sources is in a previous news post, and another is from an email I received after posting the first news.

Of course, nothing is official yet.
