That FPS gameplay is so fucking slow. There's no way doing your abilities that slow is going to be the actual gameplay players see when (if) it releases.

[bluemax]

Also can we talk about how they showed off more in development stuff today than ever before and it seems like it was mostly to wash over their negative pr of late? Or nah?

People are turning them down for jobs now when they used to be the most desirable place in the industry.

My favorite part was when the two opposing players both stopped and walked into the one ability.

Will this have cosmetic item crates that drop randomly? Asking for a million friends.

That's all game development studios with more than 10 employees.

Riot is the one where they also inappropriately touch their male employees genitals.

Well its a tactical shootah guys jeez

As someone who works on a tactical shooter... it does look about the same speed. And I'm sure just like a lot of my coworkers, most of the team are probably former Activision employees with at least one CoD under their belt.

Can't decide which Riot Fighter joke to make so here have both:
- Secret boss is a guy wearing Riot merch that farts in the opponent's face, touches their privates, and is somehow fully invulnerable.
- Female chars have to win 3/5 rounds but their male opponents only need 2/3.

Thats what I mean, its not Overwatch, its a hero tac shooter. Speed seems fine and smart that they would try to differentiate themselves by going with a speed and playstyle other people will be comforty with.

Plus if they capitalize on tje blizz hatetrain now they could have a winner on their hands.

TBH looks good from what we saw, will keep an eye on it for sure, also whoever was pulling off those flicks is an animal.

seems so, the fighting game is still early as fuck at least. dunno about the rest of the games

Thx for all the well wishes for Riot's fighting gsme project. Just want to make one thing clear, the game is not close to release, or even Alpha.

Mine was the cheat bit. "MATCH ENDED: CHEATERS DETECTED!"

Oh boy, I can't wait for every match nearly being that.

(Youtube embed doesn't work on timers: 1:15:39 for the match)

Just look at that match (on X-box, so not as fast as PC) and see how things are decided within 4-5 seconds of situations. This Riot "gameplay" is slower than that. Partly because it's "Alpha" and partly to show the abilities like that flying knife off, but there is no way in hell that is going to be the final gameplay speed, and if it is it's dead in the water.

Even Overwatch (the game they're aping) is faster and that's an MOBA shooter, not a "tactical shooter."

On top of it being slow, I noticed it looked like everything died in one shot.

It must be really early. It looked like there was only one one character and one room to show
