The fact that we’ve had hero games FOR YEARS and never had an old lady champ that throws cats…. GENIUS! This game is awesome and will stand the test of time.
It just dawns on me that people have NO idea how early this game is, they never seen a real Alpha before, just marketing "beta's" for a game thats about to come out.
Exactly, they think everything they see is final, such as the textures. Everyone hates them but that’s not important to them as much as the gameplay for now
@@pearson674 this is definitely closer to a beta than an alpha by definition of how those terms are used. Alpha basically only has core gameplay concepts in place.
What I like about valves character design is they're not scared making the characters they want and they know how to make them look like they belong to that world. Unlike other studios who rely on waifu and husbando type looks to get the coomers.
They neither make them extra ugly to virtue their progressivism, nor do they make them extra sexual (at least not for fanservice). They just add stuff for the sake of being good.
The fact that only about 30 of League of Legend's 150+ champions have a matching aesthetic and art direction is a sin that is not called out often enough.
I got so surprised last night to have gotten an invite from my friend to play. I genuinely didn't think I'd like this, since I didn't like Paladins (outside of Seris) and figured it'd feel like Overwatch but complicated, but... It actually feels so great! Also it's so weird hearing a Half-Life 2 NPC voice actor still voicing with the black hole guy
It's literally Slark lmao. Invis + move speed when not seen, toolkit gives life steal + ambush when 1v1 heroes. It's Slark. That's crazy. Slark is a huge pub stomper in Dota I wonder how it'll translate to Deadlock.
The great thing about dota and by extension this game is you reeeeally feel the hero fantasy. You can do some ridiculously strong effects but the item builds keep things dynamic and keeps counterplay relevant
People upset Valve isn't updating TF2, I'm just here vibing with the fantasy noir theme, it's so.damn.good. The character design is a work in progress and yet it's already fantastic, really show how important that is in a videogame (looking at you, Concord).
I mean at this point they should just make tf3, I would love to see a new vibe for the ip with new characters and such but it seems they are quite busy, however I don’t mind as I’m loving the game
I've heard the game is a mishmash of various genres of games they were playing with - mainly, a sci-fi cyberpunk-ish vibe - which is likely where Greytalon is from as well. Cool to see all the WIPs
While there is definitely some Sci-fi theming to deadlock as it is now it used to be a lot different. A lot of the sci-fi cyberpunk stuff is actually a holdover from an earlier state of the game from when it was called "NeonPrime". Since then the game got a full art overhaul. The character designs known to be held over from that time are- Yamato, Gray Talon, Bebop, Mcginnis, and all of wip heroes in this video except for Calico are Neon Prime designs. Btw if you look in the character select screen you can actually see that Mcginnis and Bebop's portraits don't match the in game models, and appear to be their redesigns. You can find videos of NeonPrime online, they left videos in the game files that just fully show what it looked like then.
@@Savanty oh same! Don’t get me wrong here I love deadlocks style. It’s a much MUCH better look, huge fan of this supernatural steampunk noir sorta direction. The character designs that have come from it are so cool and unique. Like, Seven is maybe the coolest character design to come from Valve imo, and he was just a pretty basic robot dude in the old version! I just think it’s interesting to document the history of it all, especially considering there’s a lot of lil bits and pieces of that old style around in the game still.
I'm definitely liking the new noir/supernatural direction they're going in, it reminds me a lot of stuff like Call of Cthulu or even skullgirls a little bit. I hope it sticks in the final version
I'll bet we will get Calico this Thursday Also, her ultimate is a placeholder i heard from one of the devs that her ultimate can turn enemies to cats but they are not sure about it yet Also you can rocket jump with rutger
I'll love that her design was litteraly an small angry old lady with a cane, and in the lore ( hero are fighting to get their life back) she refused death and want her revenge ober the devil would love to see that.
Do you think the same type of hat and cosmetic system that tf2 has would work with this game? Being able to unlock something like an unusual hat through crates, and trading them on a potential future market.
Hope he gets a husband counterpart with dogs. Husband is a pastor and can shift his demeanor and skillset depending on the dogs hes using, kinda like cecil in ff4 dissidia.
What’s like to be uninformed. Less rights from non democrats …… makes a lot of sense …… I take it u do a lot of reading a research……. Exercise working etc
I think the thing about Deadlock (and I guess potentially Half Life 3 then) is that it's going to run on Source "2.5" but be called Source 3. There's just too much incentive to try and reuse and build on top of IP and pipelines and workflows. But it also constrains the end product to the limitations inherent in the original system that can't be overcome without ground up structural change. So I anticipate it's going to look and feel mechanically a lot like TF2, the MOBA. That navigating and traversing the environment is gonna feel very similar. Hit detection, hit boxes, are going to feel similar. The degree of dynamic elements and interactive elements with the environment are going to feel the same (at the level of a 15 year old design.) Just like Starfield creeks with many of the same constraints of Fallout 3 even though they've enhanced and added features elsewhere.
Valve does it again. Its insane how great and distinct their art direcrion is still after all this time. In the sea of Fortnite and Overwatch oversaturated crap its refreshing to see big studios creating something like that
This game reminds me a lot of Battleborn, I really enjoyed that game, though it died cause it released within a week of Overwatch, with no real marketing behind it.
I can't believe they named a hero calico. That's been my name for years, and I don't know how to feel about that. I really hope she's fun for me because I feel oblicated to main her

Mirage also isn't a stealth hero , its a bug from slork.

hahaha the turret song from portal you can tell the devs are having fun with this
there is a bug when becoming slawk that makes all the characters have the passive stealth thing, so mirage does not actually have stealth
Some of the heroes come from an earlier version of deadlock (when it was called neon prime)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the people at valve are absolute masters at character design.
Yeah the vibes in this game are immaculate
