DOTA2 on Xbox One and PS4

[TightBuhttWhole]

Currently there are over 12 million people who own the next-gen consoles(and still growing), so you guys are losing a lot of money. Dota 2 for consoles is a no brainer.

Unless you connect a keyboard and a mouse to the consoles it was wont be possible to play dota

Too many binds too many movements to integrate into a controller

Anythings possible. They made Diablo work on consoles. They made RTS games work (Halo Wars, LOTRBfME, etc). They made first person shooters work.

Those rts have been made for consoles.
How do you expect the camera to work when u don't have a mouse ?

[Wasted_46]

so tell me, how do you execute with a controller a blink- into doom-into refresher-into doom sequence on the correct targets, in a reasonable time, in the mid of a teamfight?

how do you do incredibly position- sensitive things like a good 5 man blink-RP or a 5 second sacred arrow?

First of all stop calling XBox One and PS 4 "next gen", that makes no sense. The hardware they use is pretty damn old and they are already released which makes them the current gen, not the next.

Only if you stretch the definition of the word "work". Shooters on consoles are kinda okay(-ish) but RTS game are just horrible.
D3 also has been made with a console in mind. It has a very limited set of skills you can use at once and half the interface, especially you skill loadout, is made console friendly to say the least.
DotA isn't "easy" to control, you have to move your character and aim skill shots at the same time while moving your camera. That's nothing you can do on a console cos you simply don't have enough buttons on a controller and you lack the precision of mouse and keyboard.

And, finally, there is that thing that Valve wants to take over the living room with their Steam Machines, which means it makes no sense to bring one of the best games they have to consoles.

Console games don't make much money. And more importantly Dota 2 is a very skillfull, difficult game which wouldn't appeal to kids and dudebros who are majority of the console gaming crowd who prefer garbage and simplicity like Loadout for example.

[Stalker-Sama]

You cant bind to many controls into a joystick.

[Tinctur]

Dota with gemapad, lol

correct

those to "next-gen" consoles are using amd jaguar as cpu and 7970 as gpu

and watchdogs graphic on ps4 has nowhere near crysis 3 on pc

but yeah... next-gen lol

[Quickshooter]

well halo wars is pretty much one of the best RTS's ensamble studios ever made

if i'm not mistaken, the PS4 and xbox 1 support keyboard and mouse

and if they don't i know the work around

but seriously why would you want to buy a "next gen" console if you can play this game on a fairly affordable PC?

Guys, it's Vince, don't feed the troll

It's bad enough we have leagueee weagueies running round in DOTA2 all trying to carry but then throw console kiddies in the mix and it'll be hell. Have you ever tried to play a console game where each class has roles ? Even in shooters you can't get anyone to play the media so on here everyone would want to be sniper / blood and no-one would ever play support

[crazykivi]

Не нужна Dota 2 на play station and xbox. Если выйдет, то будет полный провал...
