| Fonzerelli said: Gas Powered Games is making a clone of DOTA called "Demigod". Full Games based on Mod's have not had the best history quality or sales wise btw. Counter Strike and Counter Strike : Source are the only exceptions. The reason why DOTA is popular is because the Warcraft 3 engine makes it more accessible to gamers around the world (even the one playing on their low end systems), Interface is almost perfect, camera angles are great. If demigod is going to be a graphics wh*re (playable on only 5% of the worlds computers) , it is bound to flop (Crysis anyone). And we do not need a complete 3D interface like a third person shooter. A true RTS interface like the one used on C&C3, Warcraft 3 would make it much more accesible. |
You say its success is because it's accessible. Yet I'm afraid to try it because it seems laced with so many die hard veterans. I've got warcraft 3 and always wanted to try it but never have taken the chance.
For me, Team Fortress is my <3.
