It's been a while, but we've finally got a new trailer by the IndieGoGo funded game RIOT, but now with a slightly new name which is RIOT - Civil Unrest. The game's development is supposedly coming along nicely, and a public release shouldn't be too far off.
League of Legends has undergone some major changes in the past year, meaning its meta is more volatile than ever and, according to Riot, needs more work.
As Blizzard continues to falter, Riot is out for blood.
Let's get it. In the end, we win. Also, don't think anyone is comparing Project A to Shadownrun (2007) - which is the reason I'm insanely hype.
isn't attacking a bleeding, sick and dying group more slaughter than war ?!?!?
maybe since the attacker is sick and dying as well it counts …..
Really worried about the fighting game and what it will do to the genre moving forward. It will be the most accessible fighting game with super high payouts in tournaments and everyone will want a piece of that pie. There has already been a trend with fighting games being dumbed down, definitely over the last decade+, but I feel like Riots game will take it to a whole new level. Especially if you take into consideration the acquisition of Radiant Entertainment who made Rising Thunder. (A fighting game with easy combos and one button specials.) They have an opportunity to do something really special here but unfortunately I think it will only be on the netcode (GGPO) side of things.
John Needham of Riot Games, which is owned by Tencent, took to Twitter today, to announce that it is banning all political discussions from their League of Legends E-Sports tournaments. This comes in the wake of the backlash, surrounding Blizzard Entertainment, and their heavy handed punishment that was handed out, against a player participating at their Hearthstone Grandmasters Tournament, for simply voicing support for freedom of the people of Hong Kong.
Yeah. Dont attack Trump.
Keep your politics out of the air.
Riot is owned by Tencent, expect the Chinese government to ban and censor
Whatever happened to free feedom of speech. Also who decides that a topic is sensitive, I think it's people who are sensitive. I like to hear two sides on any topic so I can make an educated decision on what side of the fench I choose to take.
Sensitive topics like HK and TW freedom... 🙄
Another worthless company on the blacklist.
So Riot like Blizzard were more than happy to jump on things like the LGBT movements as it brings in money but when the world shows support to the plight of HK's citizens all of a sudden we have to keep it about the games? As the saying goes, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Of course I'm sure it has nothing do with them being owned by a Chinese company....
