>What is it?
Artifact is Valve's upcoming card game based off of Dota 2

>What do we know?
There are three game boards that represent the lanes
You control 5 heroes, just like DotA
You can equip item cards on to the Heroes that you buy with gold
There are creeps that spawn every turn
You can play creature cards
Some cards are cast on the lane and have persistent effects on that lane
Each Hero has abilities like their DotA counterparts ("You can cast track on a Hero as Bounty Hunter and get extra Gold")

>When will it be released?
2018

Removing the context, it sounds pretty neat.
As an announcement from Valve it's fucking abysmal, especially the "2018" part.

Really, Valve? You don't think that people might be a bit weary of you being vague about release dates? I get it, you want to give each project as much time as it needs, but you can just KEEP QUIET UNTIL IT'S FUCKING DONE.

Who the absolute fuck was asking for a DOTA card game?

The fanbase sure didn't from how they reacted at the reveal, who is this even for?
>>
You have literally broken my heart. I haven't been this disappointed in so long I can't even remember.
You took 30% of all the profits from Steam and made a card game. A motherfucking card game.

I can understand you not wanting to make sequels to your big games because you're looking to new type of games that you can explore and make better. But this is what you give me in return. A motherfucking card game.
I'm not even gonna bother hoping that this will be any better or more playable than Heartstone, I'm sure it'll be exactly as bad. Unplayable unless you sink hundreds of dollars into it.

I got into making games because of you people, this is like seeing your own dad get drunk at your birthday, beating up your mom and then taking a big giant steaming shit on your birthday cake.

I think you actually managed to kill my spirit, that's where it dies, in a youtube comment section for a shitty game nobody wants and that you're making because you somehow want even more money.
What the fuck are you even using all the money you make from Steam, Dota and CSGO for if this is what you release. I just don't even know what to say

its melodramatic but it's kinda true, valve games got me into gaming, nearly everything they made has been gold, wether you liked that particular genre or not.

and here we are, just the other day I was cursing them for thrusting this crate-gaming ecosystem on us, and now this.. Do you know how excited I was when day9 said there was a new game announcment? I was hype as fuck, and in 10 seconds that was all crushed.
This is the shit we get? I don't care how fancy they make a card game, its still a fucking card game from probably the most profitable dev team on earth. Make a real fucking game you cunts.

Well, they fucked up TF2, Ricochet was a weird experiment long time ago, can't seem to bring any substantial updates to their games, and their income comes through loot boxes. Don't lie to yourself, Valve is on a decline

That's why they shut down. Turns out, aping League was not as profitable as investors hypothesized; most of the players are content playing what they were already playing, and there's no real impetus to switch to company X's start-up Moba.
>>
>>386634172
I'm sure it will be a /good/ game. Sure it's not up my alley but whatever.

The thing im annoyed at is you have arguably one of the most talented studios on earth and they make rehashed-lore cash-grab shit, why? They could make any new IP straight out of their ass and sell a million copies the first day. But nah, card game.
>>
>>386634051
So really, this is the situation.

Valve is essentially currently run by a bunch of shitty modern casual gamers who liked Hearthstone so much that they wanted to make a game like it.

They decided to do this instead of getting paid to do _LITERALLY_ ANYTHING else.

Just nuke it all. Nuke it all to hell.

>>386633638
Once you have a solid idea what to do, making a game with a well established team isn't hard. It's why there are chinese clones within a year of a popular game's release.

You know at least card games make sense. After the initial development, managing a card game is insanely cheap if you think about it. Any relatively decent sized company can let 2-3 people design the new cards and then have artists make the art during down time in whatever they're developing. If the designers are too fucking retarded to script a card then they can get a programmer occasionally for help.

If you have some 2deep4u lore then I don't see why not. Almost every assfaggots has some deep lore that nobody really read.

What blows my mind is Blizzard has like 30-40 people on Hearthstone yet it runs quite poorly, but it's fine since every modern computer can easily shit out 60fps. Bugs lasts months before being fixed. Consistency is quite terrible. I can keep going on, but I'm just ranting now.

Why are card games so popular? Why do people RNG so much in a medium that doesn't require RNG to make varied and unpredictable? Vidya versions of tabletop and card games totally strip away the face to face social aspect, the scummy tricks, mind games, or even outright cheating you can do in a real environment. Everything is at the mercy of computerized RNG and that's bullshit.
>>

Would make sense, only way to keep the free-to-play philosophy of the original game is to keep away from card packs and the like.

But that begs the question; Why would anyone play this over Dota? Board games usually take around an hour anyways, so this is basically just Dota for someone with absolutely no mechanical skill or knowledge.

I mean, it wouldn't even take that much effort. 90% of the work in making a perfectly enjoyable Team Fortress game has been done for them already during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

All they have to do is replicate TF2 in Source 2 to be more optimized and good looking, do a new artstyle, tweak class balance a bit, and bam, they're done.

But they won't because Valve are fucking niggers.

They really are. Steam went from a disruptive underdog we all cheered for several years ago to a fat bloated pig guarding its treasure from every prying eye. Valve is the old guard now, and what was one a fire in their bellies to push the envelope and create new experiences with games seems to have turned into just a desire to maintain. Keep the money flowing and watch the gates.

You know, I'd wait for more info if it was some other company, but it's Valve. Valve do quality things (Steam partly excluded), but they do them S L O W L Y. I think that partly people are raging because we are looking at months of silence before something other than teaser surfaces.
They won't tell us what this game is about, they won't confirm three tables and 5 heroes, they will just sit there and let people boil in their own juices. People are fucking tired of that shit, especially since Valve said so fucking much about muh community, buy time and time again manage to miscommunicate everything.
Finally, vidya is over-fucking-saturated by multiplayer and "multiplayer" games. I agree that fighting Johns and Janes online is fun, but it's not ONLY fucking fun there can be, and Valve are one of devs people believe are still able to make a good singleplayer game.

Whatever, replace HL3 with L4D3/Portal 3 if you like, my point is the same.

L4D3, Portal 3 and HL3 are obviously all in development as we speak. They'll more than likely be released in a package deal, not unlike the orange box. Valve is like that.

For some reason, the internet believes ALL of Valve is working SOLELY on this card game and are basing their opinions on that 'fact'. Look at these dislike numbers, man. Valve has never shown something about a new game unless it was tangible. Did everyone forget this? Has everyone lost their collective shit? Where's my medicine

>>386635579
Don't feign interest if you're not actually interested, m8. I like HS, I like MTG, I like Gwent, I like Valve, I'm interested in this game, will probably play it and enjoy it. I know there are other teams at valve working on the orange box 2, so it's not a concern. I bet 2018 will be a big year for valve. Artifact, HTC Vive 2 (cheaper, more readily available 2nd generation VR sets? Yes please!), etc.

Enough with this WoW-killer 2.0 shit. I've heard "this card game will f*cking pwn HS into obscurity" for half a douzen card games already. Duelist, Shadowverse, Gwent, Eternal even fucking Faeria.

I will play this, as I play every card game in existence because I am a sucker for them, and hell even best case scenario it will be okay enough to have its own unique niche for a while like the Runescape card game but even with HS bleeding like it is I have had enough with this wow-killer rhetoric to push new digital CCGs.

Maybe you're too young to remember, but people flipped their collective shit, not unlike they're doing now, about L4D2 when it got released. People were so furious they would release L4D2 so soon after the first one. Talking about how people loved the first cast more and the setting. Then Valve ported the first into the second with all the updated features. Because they're the best game dev company out there. Shut them up real quick. Went on to be a top seller and GOTY.

I don't know how many times I have to put leaks in quotation marks before you get it, but Valve always puts future content and development projects in public view. Like one of their artists 'accidentally' revealing HL3 concept art some years ago. Or leaving files or folders in their engine SDK/tech demos. Or letting people take pictures of various concept arts, computer monitors and files when they give people tours of their offices.

You think Valve would just let them post unreleased content like that without permission? Of fucking course not. They wouldn't even let them take pictures to begin with if that was their concern.

But go ahead, keep trying to twist what I say in some vain attempt to bolster your unfettered rage so you can throw a tantrum just like all the cool kids on the internet youtubes!

All of this is in line with what we know about Valve working methods from people who have quit. i.e. people work on something up to a point, get bored and then wonder off to something else.

I warned you faggots a long time ago. Valve no longer makes games. They make money; through the seasonal sales, the hats, the crates, whatever. They couldn't give two shits about the games you played however many years ago because they can make so much more MONEY through the crap I mentioned and now, they have a terrific opportunity to do a quick cash-grab, piggybacking off the success of Hearthstone, just like every other card game has tried to do.

Keep giving your money to Gabe. Keep buying shit off the sales instead of pirating every single fucking game you can get your hands on. Keep sucking that cock.

It's all you deserve.

Compared to Source, it's much more fragmented. All of it's features are in such a mess, they've officially given up on packaging it into a proper SDK and licensing it.

Dark Souls puts a frankly impressive amount of effort into building a world on top of their gameplay-focused action RPG even if most of the solid definitive background is in descriptions and junk.

DOTA has like one map, a few shitty comics?
>>
From the stream:
>There are three game boards that represent the lanes
>You control 5 heroes, just like DotA
>You can equip item cards on to the Heroes that you buy with gold
>There are creeps that spawn every turn
>You can play creature cards
>Some cards are cast on the lane and have persistent effects on that lane
>Each Hero has abilities like their DotA counterparts ("You can cast track on a Hero as Bounty Hunter and get extra Gold")

So its a 1v1 turn based DOTA2 game, not Hearthstone with DOTA2 pictures on cards.

>>386635303
I'd rather have almost anything than a DOTA card game because it's everything I don't want out of Valve.

It doesn't stand for innovation, the narrative is nonexistent because it's a card game, it doesn't do anything neat with stuff V I D E O G A M E S can do because it's a card game, and it's probably the least interesting IP universe-wise- at least to me. It feels like a blatant "hey we need more money to develop VR headsets and/or fuck around all day toying with ideas but ultimately never actually getting anything done, let's do a card game because those are relatively easy to push out in comparison to basically every other genre and they've been mad popular lately." A cash grab.

>>
>>386640591
they are literally the PIXAR of video games now

they went from doing original IP to by the numbers bullshit sequels and now, a clear business move based of the success of gwent, and hearthstone

you shills keep believing their "flat organization structure" and "It's a community of respect and the best idea wins no matter who it comes from, whether they've been at Valve for a year or founded Valve." but the games keep saying otherwise.

Why are there NO creative games coming from a company with allegedly the best talent in the business and almost unlimited financial resources?
>>
>>386633840
Better question is: What was the last non-sequel non-modbased Valve release?

>>
>>386640802
Better buy sauce for that hat, because the Elder Scrolls game already has 2 lanes, and I am 99% sure this DOTA2 card game will have heroes that can die, respawn, move from lane to lane, use gold instead of some mana system, etc.
And if you can't see how killing enemies as a resource is fundamentally different than drawing mana cards as a resource or just getting 1 per turn, you are the summer child and not used to TCGs.

I have a feeling that the game won't bomb, simply because of the Valve brand and because they're marketing geniuses (It'll probably be free to play, so if the Chinese and South Americans will play it even if no one else does), but who actually wants this? Who is the target audience? Clearly Dotards don't want it, so why did Valve decide to make this other than to literally print money by selling digital cards on the Steam marketplace? It's an obvious cash-grab and Valve should be ashamed

>>386640884
the elder scroll shit is just what I was talking about, it's a super-abstracted representation of 2d space, not anything worthy of a real video game. Like ignore the cards aspect, and focus on the actual mechanics, then compare this to other strategy/tactics games
>RTS: very large map that would cover a wall if printed out, you control hundreds of units simultaneously, map is covered in resource nodes, units have activated abilities, cover, etc
>tactics game, like XCOM: you've got several units under your command, large map that would cover a table if printed out, can destroy walls, climb buildings, each of your units has like 8 different commands, cover, line of sight, etc
>strategy game: very large map that would cover a wall if printed out, you've got multiple cities that can research things, terrain bonuses, many units under your control, diplomacy, resource control, etc
Then you've got your elder scrolls card game. Simplistic units, TWO different positions, incredibly basic resource system, you gain units/spells at random, etc. It's a disgrace, and adding another lane into the mix isn't nearly enough.

You definitely could make a card game that plays something like XCOM, and it would probably be a genuinely good game if given enough care, but nobody wants to do it because the industry is populated with fucking hacks

it's not a question of originality, but complexity
there's nothing indicating that creeps will be anything other than a 1/1 minion that spawns every turn in each lane and can be attacked for gold, there's nothing indicating that moving between lane to lane is going to move your hero through actual 2d space instead of just shuffling them between "zones"
granted your hero cards will probably be more complex than the typical hearthstone unit that's basically just a ball of stats with a battlecry effect, but it's still a long way to go before you leave the card game world behind and enter the world of actual video games

You think every card game is a hearthstone clone? There's a fucking billion of them in the physical world, but they all have certain things in common due to necessity: they use cards and they have no computer bookkeeping or simulation power. Thus, in this way they are typical.

It's not even good.

It's lifeless. Generic. Just a bunch of characters making dynamic poses and threatening to hit each other. I've seen it a million times. It's every League of Legends drawing. Battleborn did it. Every fucking "hero" game does it.

All this trailer does is remind me that Valve isn't special.

those are not the things they have in common, those are the restrictions imposed upon them by their format

what that format does is limit them to very abstracted and pretty simplistic rulesets, which is not something you have to do in a video game but everyone does it because they're fucking hacks

They knew this wouldn't go well with anyone. They knew this was their first actual game in an eternity. They knew everyone was sick of Hearthstone and everything it inspired.

Maybe we're all wrong. Maybe it bucks the trend of trading card games and makes all the cards accessible. Maybe it uses the Steam Market to leverage the same kind of economy that keeps MtG thriving. Maybe it's even fun.

But you know what simple thing they'd have to do to prove any of that? Show us gameplay at the SAME TIME that they announce it. Show us it's not just a Hearthstone copycat, and that it has its own mechanics, monetization, and appeal. Just SHOW US the only proof you'd need to prove it'd be worthwhile.

But no. All they give us is a GIF and time to speculate. They give us time to bury it before it even has a chance.

Valve is creatively bankrupt. Their new philosophy for making video games is "how hard can we jew dumbwits", but even then they don't have any actual talent to make something interesting, so now they just copy what's already a proven success. However, with how saturated the TGC market is, this is gonna die a quiet death.

I simply don't trust Valve's way of working when it comes to making a TCG.
