The inaccurate thread title isn't helping.From "Dota 2 coming to XBO" to "Source 2 will not run on XBO". GAF.
DOTA itself was a custom game mode. Fuck are you talking about?
I woke up to the biggest valve megaton, but somehow I feel underwhelmed. Maybe because I don't play dota. Can't wait to see new content on this engine though
Hey, mr Well Mannered, what's so difficult to understand about not wanting to deal with "custom MOBAs"? That's a terrifying perspective, if you consider what a MOBA is and so on...
(Aaand yes, i know how Dota was born, etc, etc...)
Nah, they're just doing this so they can slightly improve the hats in Team Fortress 2, keep Dota 2 going, and find more ways to sell unfinished, hardly functioning (nowadays often eternally "early access") indie games to their users for them to make excuses to justify the existence of.

This is cynical as hell but sadly feels more true than hyperbolic.

Releasing a Dota 2 spectator client for tablets/smartphones and (if there's no way of releasing the game without crippling the gameplay and mechanics) consoles would certainly seem like a smart move by Valve.
Why did the Starcraft 2 "custom game" scene never flourish like it did in WC3/BW. Is that type of gaming scene is dead? SC2 Arcade is free too.
I hope DOTA 2 scene will pick up the custom games torch like the late 90s early 2000s...
Because Battle.net as it was launched with Starcraft 2, and the attached red tape that Blizzard put in place was absolute garbage compared to Starcraft 1.
Valve F2P games need to scale and reach a wide audience, they're not going to push graphics.
Yup. It's still bad. There's fun games on the arcade but they're so hard to find that nobody plays them. The editor isn't so good either.wasn't discoverability really bad, at least at first? i remember people saying it was basically impossible to find anything that wasn't at the top of the most played list
I have no clue at all what you are talking about, I swear.Hey, mr Well Mannered, what's so difficult to understand about not wanting to deal with "custom MOBAs"? That's a terrifying perspective, if you consider what a MOBA is and so on...

This. I don't think Source 2's engine isn't about better graphics - right? It's streamlining content creation.
Why does it support Fax machines?
Someone fill me in because I'm dumb. What does this mean and why is it a megaton.
Is Dota 2 actually running in Source 2, or is it just the editor that is using the Source 2 binaries?

This is how people said it would happen. Half-Life 3 will just be there one day to 0 fanfare.
It's happening.
Lol. Valve makes people crazy. Their games are incredible and they know it but Steam brings in so much damn money that they're never in a hurry to release anything -- until they're% 100 ready to do so.*reads thread*
*thinking about what it means*
Well I'm off to preorder Portal 3.
Not jumping any Guns there. Nope, not at all.
hot damn! if dota2 comes to the x1 ill have to buy an x1 way too earlier than i thought i would
If it is coming to the Xbox I hope this means Microsoft caved and let Valve bring the workshop madness with them.
Next step: TF2 Remaster.
dota 2 isn't coming to xbox one.
why? every Valve game eventually comes to the consoles.

MAYBE with the Steam controller.
Maybe.
Even that is questionable for Dota controls. If someone can do it, I'm all for it. But I just have a hard time believing someone would be able to play demonstrably well against a keyboard and mouse.
It's not going to have cross platform play though is it.
I remember the same being said about Diablo 3 and that worked well on consoles.
