Annoncé au BLizzcon :
"Kind of like Super Smash Brothers, or Marvel vs. Capcom" was the description one of the developers on StarCraft's II custom game panel gave to Blizzard DOTA, one of four internally developed game mods announced earlier today. Unexpectedly, Blizzard DOTA isn't simply a few StarCraft characters duking it out. As the name might indicate, Blizzard DOTA uses characters from the StarCraft, Warcraft and Diablo universes, including the Diablo's Blade Master and Warcraft's Sylvannas.
For those unfamiliar with DOTA, the name stands for Defense of the Ancients, a game mod from Warcraft III that became hugely popular to the point that it became its own tournament e-sport, and spawned numerous external clones and adaptations, including League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth. Players take control of an iconic hero character and fight along a small squad of teammates against an opposing team. Characters level up, earn skills and buy items and gear while protecting their base against a constant onslaught of both player- and non-player controlled enemies, all the while trying to assault the opposing base.
Showing off the flexibility of StarCraft II's mission and campaign editor, one of the developers was able to create an immortal (one of the units) whose aim and firing was controlled by the mouse, and movement was controlled by the keyboard. He showed off the control scheme in action, in a demo level akin to top-down shooters like Alien Swarm. It was pretty sweet.
Three other game mods for StarCraft II were announced today; Aiur Chef, StarJewelled, and Left 2 Die (a play on Left 4 Dead), which will be released across Battle.net "over the coming months." We'll be trying out the mods later and will let you know what we think."
Donc en gros , Un Dota mais pas comme les autres , ils utiliseront les personnages de SC , WC et Diablo !
Puis les autres custom maps :
- Aiur Chef (Je vois pas ce que ça peut être)
- StarJewelled , un jeu avec des bijous et des étoiles ?
Et la très bonne annonce de Left 2 DIE !!!!!! aka L4D :D
Je sais pas comment ça va être mais s'ils arrivent à faire du survival comme L4D , ça va être tout bon . Je sais qu'ils pourront le faire parce-que dejà y en à certain qui arrivent à faire des FPS et tout
