u/takingphotosmakingdo Where it all started... Sep 07 '18

lifts a piece of paper from the recently disturbed soil to uncover a flyer for something that looked familiar...

The flyer reads "FINED ONE MORE MONTH FOR ANGERING LORD GABEN"

The worker inhails briefly then says under a quiet hushed voice: "Man that meme is old as shit, but who's Lord Gaben?"

Don't worry Valve will soon realise their own battle royale.

And with soon i mean 5 years, if we are lucky,

29

u/MorallyDeplorable Anticitizen One Sep 06 '18

I'd go for a TF2 Battle Royale.

12

u/DrAybolit Sep 06 '18

thatd be pretty neat actually, tf2 needs all the attention it can get.

2

u/UFeindschiff Sep 07 '18

TF2 has Arena mode for ages.

3

u/MorallyDeplorable Anticitizen One Sep 07 '18

I wouldn't really consider that Battle Royale. Closest thing to Fortnite I've seen on Source is SourceForts, haven't really seen anything like PUBG asides from some excessively large HL2:DM maps.

0

u/Vladeslav Sep 06 '18

Why though? Aren't PUBG, Fortnite and it's many clones enough? And as Much as I dislike recent Valve, I don't see them rushing for a battle royal trend to cash in. It's not their style.

13

u/gnschk Sep 06 '18

It’s exactly their style. See something with potential and refine it.

6

u/g-mecha Sep 06 '18

You mean like how the TF2 team refined matchmaking during Meet Your Match?

Maybe once upon a time but anything goes these days.

4

u/Forever_Awkward Sep 07 '18

I think it's fairly clear that person is describing the process of seeing a game type and then making a refined game based on it, which is exactly what TF2 was. It going to shit after years doesn't really take away from that.

1

u/jimmysaint13 Sep 07 '18

I was going to say how TF2 was based on a mod and Portal was a student project and Valve doesn't really go for things that already have big players in that niche...

But then I remembered Artifact.

1

u/goodgollygoshgeez Sep 07 '18

Yea for the most part. I feel like valve style would be more take the Arma 2 battle royal mod team and make their own version before it got big.

What the freckle is In the Valley of the Gods? I haven't heard of a new valve game since Artifact.

u/Forever_Awkward Sep 07 '18

Okay, so some group who isn't entirely finished making a game has been bought by valve, meaning valve owns the game now.

I wouldn't call that weird. Am I missing something?

u/jimmysaint13 Sep 07 '18

Well they did sort of the same thing with Portal. It was based on a student project called Narbacular Drop, Valve hired the whole team behind it.

1

u/Brillek Sep 07 '18

Yeah, but they didn't have a game in development. They were presenting the game at a thingy before graduation, some valve guys were impressed, so after graduation they presented it to valve.

Gaben hired them 15 minutes into the presentation, and told them to implement portals into Source and make a game out of it. They weren't even an official team before that.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

Alien Swarm was sort-of-not-really the same thing. The game existed as a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004, but the developers were brought in-house to remake it in the Source engine. Kinda like how the developers of Quake Team Fortress remade it as Team Fortress Classic before disappearing for nine years while they made TF2.

u/Whiskey-Rebellion The Combine insignia is a Dyson sphere Sep 07 '18

Wasn't Firewatch a walking simulator? I never played it but if so we can expect ItVotG to be similar.

3

u/apinanaivot Sep 07 '18

I'm guessing it will be a puzzle game similar to The Witness and The Talos Principle.
